The temple is a special sacred place where you cannot just come. Before going to church, you need to remember some rules of conduct. This mainly concerns parishioners who rarely visit the temple.
Instructions
Step 1
The woman should have her head covered and wear a skirt or dress that covers her knees. The elbows should also be covered. Bright clothes and makeup are not appropriate in the temple. You cannot come to church on menstrual days.
Step 2
When entering the temple, a man must take off his headdress. In alcoholic intoxication, it is better not to attend church.
Step 3
In the church, men stand on the right side and women on the left.
Step 4
At the entrance to the temple, bow three times and cross yourself the same number of times.
Step 5
If you entered the temple when the service is not going on, you can calmly stand, pray, put candles for the peace and health of your family and yourself, as well as icons of the saints whom you would like to ask for help.
Step 6
If you want to get to the service, come to the church 15 minutes before the start of the service. Usually there are a lot of people in the temple at this time, do not rush to push forward to the altar, find a comfortable place for yourself. When meeting acquaintances, nod slightly to them, indicating in such a way that you notice them. During the service, do not walk; listen to the prayers while standing. In case of fatigue, you can sit on a bench.
Step 7
Light candles from other candles. For health, put with the words: "Holy servant of God (name), pray to God for (name) sinner." After that, bow down, cross yourself twice, kiss the icon and cross yourself again.
Step 8
If you kiss the icon of the Savior, kiss the foot, and if the Savior is depicted up to the waist, then kiss the hand. Applying to the icon of the Virgin, kiss the hand.
Step 9
Listen to the prayers read by the priest. If you know their text, read along with it. In the temple nothing can be eaten except the blessed bread, which is distributed in the church.
Step 10
If the priest begins to overshadow the parishioners in an image, with the Gospel, a cup or a cross, be baptized and bow down. If the priest blesses with his hand, bow in the bow without being baptized.
Step 11
If you are a rare guest in the church and do not know the rituals, pay attention to the old women and repeat all the actions after them. Remember that in the church a person should be humble and humble.
