Immersion in water, along with Chrism, the sanctified oil conveying the seal of the Holy Spirit, define the Orthodox Christian tradition by which the Church opens its doors to embrace new members: Holy Baptism and Holy Chrismation, two sacraments separate and distinct, yet intimately related. This video, taped at St. Barbara Church in Santa Barbara, CA, presents the two Sacraments, along with three pre-baptismal rites and also examines the emphasis placed by Orthodox faithful on the baptism of a new member of the church.

The Orthodox Church has always viewed body and soul as inseparable, and for that reason has stressed the necessity of preserving both in good health. The Church provides the Sacrament of Holy Unction, following Jesus Christ’s exhortation to his disciples to “heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons,” as an enduring sacrament of faith for the healing of sickness and the forgiveness of sins. The most familiar celebration of the Sacrament takes place on Great Wednesday of Holy Week. Videotaped at the Annunciation Cathedral in Houston, Texas.

As the program continues, interview comments present the Orthodox meaning of Epiphany and baptism, including the ecological and social implications of the blessing of the waters.
