PRAYING IN THE SISTEM OF RELIGIOUS WORKSHIP
In this work, the authors turn to the nature of Orthodox prayer as the most important part of the spiritual life of a believer, one of the main elements of religious cult - the core of religious practice, ritual tradition, since it is also an indispensable element of liturgical activity - it accompanies the performance of all church sacraments and rituals. Outside the understanding of prayer, our knowledge of religion, of Orthodox Christian anthropology, of the religious existence of man and the religious perception of the world around us and God will not be complete. The prayer, acting in the form of communion with God and knowledge of God, gives a person the opportunity to enter into direct contact with the transcendent, with God, and also through it to partake of Divine grace. It is always communication with Beginningless Being - a conversation between a person and God, which, no doubt, contributes to the upbringing of spirit and mind. The work focuses on the special nature of Orthodox prayer, which is due to the specificity of faith and, accordingly, Russian Orthodox consciousness, which are fundamentally different from Catholicism, Protestantism.
