The central worship service of the Orthodox Church, celebrating the Eucharist (Holy Communion). Usually celebrated on Sundays and feast days, the Divine Liturgy consists of the Liturgy of the Word (scripture readings) and Liturgy of the Faithful (Eucharistic prayer and communion). The most common forms are the Liturgies of St. John Chrysostom and St. Basil the Great.

The sacrament of reconciliation through which the faithful confess their sins to a priest and receive absolution. Also called the sacrament of repentance or penance, confession restores the baptismal purity lost through sin and reconciles the penitent with God and the Church. The penitent stands before an icon of Christ while confessing to the priest, who acts as a witness and minister of God's forgiveness. The priest then covers the penitent's head with his epitrachelion (stole) and pronounces the prayer of absolution.

The evening prayer service of the Orthodox Church, traditionally celebrated at sunset. Vespers includes psalms, hymns, scripture readings, and incense. On Saturday evenings, Great Vespers is often combined with the Sunday Divine Liturgy. The service marks the end of the liturgical day and prepares the faithful for rest and reflection.

The sacrament of healing for physical and spiritual ailments, administered by anointing with blessed oil. Also called the sacrament of anointing or Euchelaion, this service is traditionally celebrated by seven priests (though one may serve) who read seven Gospel passages and anoint the person seven times on the forehead, nostrils, cheeks, lips, chest, and hands. Holy Unction is offered not only to the dying but to all who are sick in body or soul, and many parishes celebrate it communally during Great Lent. The service emphasizes God's healing power and mercy.
