Sacraments

The Holy Mysteries, also called "Sacraments" are the visible ways that Christ communicates His Divine Grace to His flock. These seven Sacraments, which have been instituted by Christ Himself, have been kept preserved through the teachings of the Apostles and the Holy Church Fathers, and truly reconcile man and God. The Oriental Orthodox churches, Eastern Orthodox Churches, and Catholic Church recognize seven Holy Mysteries: **Baptism, Chrismation, Eucharist, Confession, Anointing of the Sick, Matrimony, and Priesthood.**
