How do adherents of Orthodoxy express their faith in daily life?
Prayers throughout the day are an integral part of daily life in Eastern Orthodox tradition. It is expected that followers go to church to learn more about the bible and exactly what the religion teaches and also to share problems as well as to say thanks to god. Worship and prayer is highly encouraged as it is an important way which allows people to acknowledge the relationships between god and themselves and to strengthen this relationship with compassion and goodness. There are many different types of prayer practises and styles Christians use throughout their daily lives to express their faith. Orthodox followers believe that by chanting or singing they are able to express the true nature and purpose of the words being said, especially during a church liturgy. Personal devotion to god through prayer can also be private through meditation and individual prayers. The sign of the cross using three fingers is often performed during prayers to signify the holytrinity.
