In the attachment you will find a book from which you will learn:

• what, how and why to do in the temple
• how to understand everything we see and hear in the temple
• to whom and how to pray to loved ones
• how to fast and celebrate Orthodox holidays

Perhaps you are a non-religious person and are generally indifferent to both faith and worship. But you have probably been to a church for a christening, wedding or funeral service for someone. And most likely, before visiting the temple, you had questions about how to behave, when and what to do, what not to do, and in general - how to understand everything that is happening.

Suppose you just wanted to enter the temple and stand in silence. But when can you go there, how exactly should you enter to avoid the comments of “grandmothers”, why do they put candles in front of icons, and many more questions to which you want to receive a short, accessible, and most importantly correct answer. This book may well become your reliable guide in such cases.

In addition to the book in this application you will find:

• more than 300 illustrations of icons with descriptions and prayers for them
