During the service, you must carefully monitor its progress, be baptized and bow with all those present in the church. Before you put a candle or go to the icon, you should also cross yourself. Entering and leaving the church also bow and are baptized. Service in the church does not endure fuss. They don’t leave her during the service without need, women come with their heads covered and modestly dressed, if possible without makeup, it is strictly forbidden to go to the church during menstruation days, this is a big sin.
Maintenance of services in accordance with church regulations
There is a church charter, according to which daily service is conducted in monasteries and should be held in the church. How long does church service last? First comes the morning service, then the Divine Liturgy. Evening service is around 6-7 pm.
A certain time of the day is not obligatory, but the service in its purpose and content is tied to a specific time of the day, therefore the church adheres to holding services at the allotted hours. The service life is also not limited by any canons. There is a centuries-old custom of service, which averages from 1.5 to 2-3 hours.
Services in the church are divided into daily subsistence, weekly, and annual services. The daily services go during the day, then they are repeated, thus closing in a circle. The same thing happens with weekly, annual rings. Services do not have a specific ritual, only daily daily services are unchanged, this is the basis of worship.
How is the service in the church
Daily services are daily. In the days of fasting, the Great and others, not only service to God is performed, but also service is held in the church with the confession and communion of the Holy Mysteries of Jesus Christ. Large congregations, where a large number of believers gather for services, can perform two liturgies per day. Rural parishioners go to services on Sundays and holidays.
How are the services in the church? I must say that services are not performed one at a time. For example, a service dedicated to Birth or Baptism (that is, an event that occurs once a year) is not allocated to a separate ministry, but is connected to the services of the daily circle. The daily circle includes weekly and annual services. They are combined into one service, which includes prayers, readings and chants that are associated with the days of the year and week.
The church has 9 types of church services: In the morning - the 9th hour, evening service, supper, then a night service. Matins, and then by the clock: the first, third and sixth. In the evening, after the sixth hour, the Divine Liturgy. The first hour joins the morning prayer, and the Divine Liturgy is a special service. All the services to be held in the temple are usually seven.
All prayers, with the exception of “Our Father,” were invented by people.
The history of Christianity knows only one prayer, directly transmitted by Jesus Christ: "Our Father." Then the apostolic instructions gave recommendations for reciting daily prayers. In the morning, at the third hour, at the sixth, at the ninth and in the evening. In the morning - in gratitude to the Lord, in the third because Christ received the sentence. The sixth hour is the hour of crucifixion and the ninth is the hour of sorrow. Evening Prayer - Thanksgiving to God. Just as in ancient times the apostles praised Jesus Christ and the most significant events related to his life and death, the tradition of worship in the temple is still preserved today.
Each of these services should be sent to the church daily and independently. But, condescending to the conditions of worldly life, the church holds morning and evening services twice a day, that is, in public churches they do not adhere to strict observance of the charter. In monasteries, services are carried out in accordance with the church charter, as expected, seven times a day.
Jesus in his instructions to the apostles says that prayer must be sincere. Whatever the prayers written by others, a person always has the opportunity to turn to God directly in his heart, and He will certainly hear a sincere prayer coming from the heart.
