The proper order for receiving Holy Communion

 

Orthodox faithful are encouraged to participate regularly in the Eucharist. Yet, for our spiritual development, we need to examine ourselves responsibly before coming in front of the Holy Chalice. (1 Co 11:28). Please remember that Holy Communion should be received only by the Orthodox Faithful in good ecclesiastical order that have prepared themselves as prescribed by the Canons of the Church through fasting, prayer and regular Confession and attend the entire Holy Liturgy.
