Marriage: You can only get married in an eastern Orthodox Church if you want to be recognized as a married couple( ex. cant get married on a beach or in any outside setting).
Baptisum: sacrament in which you recieve the Holy Spirit and become an orthodox Christian. This is when you take Communion for the first time, and this service usually happens before you are one years old.
Holy Orders: Also known as Preisthood. You need to go to four years of college and Seminary school for 8 years. After you have completed the schooling you then become a decon, and later on you pass an examination to see if your ready to become a pPeist and if you pass, then you become a Preist.
Almsgiving: Your duty to helping the poor, doing good deads through the church.
Holy Unction: Service in which you are annointed with oil, said to heal you of any illness.
Confession: Sevice in which you go to the Preist and confess your sins. Preist is communicating to you through god by guiding you thorugh any problems you are expressing to him. After you confess your sina, they are completely forgotten and you are given a cean slate to start over.
The Eucharist: The Holy Eucharist, which is known as the Divine Liturgy, and is offen referred to as the "Sacrament of Sacraments", is the Church's celebration of the Death and Resurrection of Christ offered every Sunday and "Holy day". It is when you go up and drink the Blood of Christ and eat the Body of Christ. All the other Sacraments have a way of leading toward the Eucharist or coming off of the center meaning of the Eucharist. In other words, much of the church revolves around this sacrment.

It's pretty sweet that you guys have been able to provide information about the different sects of Christianity. I hadn't known about the differences between the different types of Christianity but this really shed a lot of light on my confusion. Well thanks loads again!
I didn't know that as an eastern othrodox chirstian you could only get married in the curch. I thought it was really interesting to read about the details of the seven sacraments becuase a lot of it was new info for me!
I wasn't aware that in order for a Eastern Orthodox marriage to be recognized it had to take place in an Eastern Orthodox church--that's really interesting. I also think the idea of being able to receive a clean slate from simply confessing your sins is interesting, too. I learned a lot from your presentation guys--thanks.
i don't get confession. God's all knowing and the bible says the holy spirit is in you once your saved, so why not confess directly to God?
