Before heading to Church, to dress decently and modestly. The most preferred will be dark and quiet tone in clothing. Skirt or dress must be of sufficient length - not above the knee. Lip women should not paint, so as to kiss the cross or icon painted lips obscene.
To enter the Church you should calmly and quietly, with reverence. Before entering the Church should be the sign of the cross and read a special prayer. However, if you one don't know, "our father." You can just cross your fingers, saying, "Lord, have mercy."
When entering a Church men should uncover the head. Women, conversely, need to wear a hat or cover your head with a handkerchief. Entering the Church, find a place without fuss and let us make three prostrations towards the altar. If the temple is a service, men become on right side, and women on the left. If you visited a Church in a time when service there, you can go to the icon that stands in the center of the temple. It is necessary twice to the cross and to kiss the lower part of the icon. Then you need more time to cross.
The most important place in the Church is the altar. There allowed only the priests and those of the male sex, whom the priest has blessed. Women go to the altar is strictly prohibited.
Candle for the health must be put before the icons of saints. If you put a candle for the repose of the souls of the dead, that in every Church there is the burial Canon. It's recognizable by the small cross, which it is. A candle you can put any hand to be baptized, it should be just right.
To be baptized, being on bended thus the head is needed when you have a realization: the cross, the way of the Holy gospel, the Holy chalice. Only to lay his head, not once and it is possible when you: bless, hand, autumn candles, burn incense. If you have any questions, please contact the priest (not during service).
