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 Orthodox service for the departed, commending the soul to God and celebrating the hope of resurrection. The funeral includes psalms, hymns of rest and comfort, scripture readings including the Beatitudes, and the "Last Kiss" when mourners venerate the departed. The service emphasizes that death is not the end but a passage to eternal life. Unlike memorial services, the funeral is celebrated only once, at the time of death. The Orthodox view death with both sorrow and hope, trusting in Christ's victory over death.

The fiery Old Testament prophet who defended monotheism against Baal worship and was taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire. Celebrated on July 20th, Prophet Elijah represents zealous faith and God's power over false gods. His appearance at the Transfiguration alongside Moses shows his continued importance in Christian revelation.
