Liturgy Module

OBJECTIVE

The objective for this grade is to learn the ranks of the angels, the job of the angels, and to understand and relate to their presence in the liturgical services. Also, students will learn about the priesthood and the role of the priest in the sacraments, as well as understand the way our Lord God created the priesthood and the representation of Christ in the priesthood. Students will learn about the Holy Eucharist and the transformation that occurs during the liturgy to change the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Finally, students will learn about the Holy Myroun, where it comes from, the sacrament, and the concept of consecration.
