Holy Baptism
First place among the Sacraments of the Orthodox Church is occupied by Holy Baptism, by which a man, who has come to believe in Christ, by being immersed three times in water in the Name of the Holy Trinity, is cleansed through Divine Grace of all sins (Original Sin and personal sins) and is reborn into a new holy, and spiritual life. This Baptism serves as the door through which man enters into the House of Eternal Wisdom – the Church – for, without it, a man cannot be united completely with the Savior, become a member of His Church, receive the other Sacraments, and be the heir to Eternal Life.

The sacrament of Penance and the Eucharist
Sunday is the summit of the week and, like the heart irrigates the whole body with blood, Divine Liturgy and Communion must irrigate the whole week. A Christian — especially if he takes Communion frequently — must not be satisfied with being a Christian only on Sundays from 10 to 12.

Children and Church
As a general rule, children like attending Church, and this instinctive attraction to and interest in Church services is the foundation on which we must build our religious education. When parents worry that children will get tired because services are long and are sorry for them, they usually subconsciously express their concern not for their children but for themselves.

(Russian) Что требуется по случаю Святого Крещения
(Russian) По учению Церкви, родители на Страшном Суде Божием ответят перед Богом за то, как они воспитывали своих детей. Поэтому христианское воспитание детей — это и вопрос спасения души самих родителей. Верующие родители должны как можно раньше крестить своего ребенка и с того времени ходить с ним в Церковь, регулярно причащать его, с младенчества молиться о нем и при нем вслух, в свое время обучить его молитвам и основам веры.
