527 6,0   |              Sabbath day, to keep it holy.”~In addition to the first
528 6,0   |           day — the Lord's Day — the Holy Orthodox Church commands

533 6,2   |             God is revealed to us in Holy Scripture. However, it is
534 6,2   |            the Church (especially in Holy Communion), act together
535 6,2   |       Contemplating God, reading the Holy Scriptures, the works of
536 6,2   |         Scriptures, the works of the Holy Fathers and the Lives of

541 6,2   |              link not be broken.~The Holy Fathers teach that humility
542 6,2   |           turn. And the lives of the holy martyrs confirm this.~Amidst
543 6,3   |              alone. Just as with the Holy Icons, the veneration due
544 6,3   |              not actually contradict Holy Scripture, as some would
545 6,3   |           her free consent which, as Holy Scripture tells us, was

553 7     |      prominent place assigned to the Holy Icons. The Iconostasis (
554 7     |            obvious importance of the Holy Icons, then, questions may
555 7     |              and is unencompassable. Holy Scripture states categorically:
556 7     |             20:4). Consequently, the Holy Apostle Paul also asserts:
557 7     |             the Second Person of the Holy Trinity — Our Lord and Savior
558 7     |              flesh and blood.~As the Holy Apostle Paul says: Ever
559 7     |            instance, we say that the Holy Trinity Without Beginning
560 7     |              Rule, stated:~ ~Certain holy icons have the image of
561 7     |          conformity with the word of Holy Scripture. Following the
562 7     |        correspondence of the Icon to Holy Scripture, “for if the [
563 7     |              the [Icon] is shown by [Holy Scripture], [Holy Scripture]

567 7     |            since the creation of the Holy Icons goes back to the very
568 7     |        God-Man Jesus Christ Himself. Holy Images are part of the nature

571 7,1   |         inhabitants forgot about the Holy Object. But then, when in
572 7,1   |          niche, the Bishop found the Holy Image; before it burned
573 7,1   |            but the ship on which the Holy Objects had been taken,
574 7,1   |         shedding their blood for the Holy Icons, sang the Troparion
575 7,1   |    Not-Made-By-Hands. The Image (the Holy Face) was put up as an emblem
576 7,2   |         Tradition was written by the Holy Evangelist Luke during the

578 7,2   |            of the Mother of God. The Holy Image was placed in the

608 8     |         bread and wine. Likewise, in Holy Baptism there is an outward
609 8     |          most of the Sacraments, the Holy Church takes things that

612 8     |            Thus, for example, at the Holy Eucharist, when giving Holy
613 8     |          Holy Eucharist, when giving Holy Communion, the Priest says, “

637 8,1   |         Baptism, infants can receive Holy Communion and from the first
638 8,1   |            can become vessels of the Holy Spirit. Holy Scripture itself
639 8,1   |          vessels of the Holy Spirit. Holy Scripture itself speaks
640 8,1   |               not in the Name of the Holy Trinity — and not according
641 8,1   |         Jewish Law.~The Sacrament of Holy Baptism is preceded by a

658 8,2   |             for the bestowing of the Holy Spirit, which precedes the
659 8,2   |              seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit, Amen, have always
660 8,2   |           the Apostles conferred the Holy Spirit on those who gladly
661 8,2   |          that they might receive the Holy Spirit.... Then they laid

675 8,3   |                  The Holy Eucharist (Holy Communion).~The central
676 8,3   |       Orthodox Church is held by the Holy Eucharist — the precious
677 8,3   |          Christ. In modern times the Holy Eucharist is celebrated
678 8,3   |           Weekdays of Great Lent and Holy Week. (At this Liturgy there
679 8,3   |            is no consecration of the Holy Gifts, but rather Communion
680 8,3   |              by our communion of the Holy Eucharist. As St. Paul says:
681 8,3   |         through the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, can one attain
682 8,3   |          Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who believe in the
683 8,3   |      particular the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist administered by
684 8,3   |           Christian believers in the Holy Eucharist is strongly stressed
685 8,3   |            after the blessing of the Holy Gifts, we pray that the
686 8,3   |            in communion with the One Holy Spirit.” Thus we can say
687 8,3   |          into the Church begins with Holy Baptism, its fulfillment
688 8,3   |              fulfillment lies in the Holy Eucharist.~Orthodox Theology
689 8,3   |           Orthodox Theology sees the Holy Eucharist as a sacrifice
690 8,3   |              is offered to God — the Holy Trinity, and so if we ask
691 8,3   |            the Eucharist and all the Holy Liturgy is, in structure,
692 8,3   |         learn that it is through the Holy Spirit.... We know nothing
693 8,3   |      containing a small piece of the Holy Bread together with a portion
694 8,4   |                                      Holy Repentance (Penance — Confession).~

697 8,5   |                                      Holy Orders.~In the Orthodox
698 8,5   |             fallen into disuse). The Holy Apostles appointed seven
699 8,5   |         first Letter to Timothy, the Holy Apostle also speaks of the
700 8,5   |            singing of the Trisagion (Holy God]. Thus the reading of
701 8,5   |              Thus the reading of the Holy Gospel is done already with
702 8,5   |            the sanctification of the Holy Gifts. The rite of ordination
703 8,5   |            the sanctification of the Holy Gifts has already taken
704 8,5   |        ordained and the grace of the Holy Spirit is invoked. Like
705 8,5   |              is no invocation of the Holy Spirit in these ordinations.~
706 8,7   |                                      Holy Matrimony.~In the theology
707 8,7   |             gift or charism from the Holy Spirit — this gift being
708 8,7   |        conferred in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.~That Holy Matrimony

710 8,7   |          asunder (Matt. 19:5-6).~The Holy Apostle Paul sees this mystical
711 8,7   |            30, 32).~The Sacrament of Holy Matrimony consists of two

715 8,8   |            Sacrament is described in Holy Scripture by St. James the
716 8,8   |       following prayer is repeated: “Holy Father, Physician of souls
717 8,8   |       powerful hand, which is in the Holy Gospel.” This replaces an
