- "Sacrament" can be defined as a special event in our life that God changes something in a way we cannot explain. It is also called a Holy Mystery. It is a time when God's presence is felt and His grace is received. In the Orthodox Church, Sacraments are important events that help us grow closer to God and receive His blessings. They include Baptism, Holy Qurbana, and Holy Confession. Sacraments are sacred and show our love and reverence for God. Remember in the Orthodox Church we don't say there are only seven Sacraments as God works in our life in so many ways.
- "Pentecost" is a special celebration in the Church when we remember and celebrate the Holy Spirit coming like fire upon the Apostles. It is a day when the Holy Spirit gives new life. The Holy Spirit came to help the Church grow wise, strong, smart, and brave. So, "Pentecost" is a day when we celebrate the Holy Spirit and the new life that He brings to us.
- A "disciple" is someone who follows and learns from Jesus Christ". A disciple is someone who listens to and follows the teachings of Jesus Christ, shares His message with others, and strives to become more like Him.
- An "apostle" is someone who chosen by Jesus Christ to spread his teachings and carry out his work. Apostles are considered important leaders and messengers of the Christian faith. They are mentioned in the Bible and are known for their role in sharing the message of Jesus and establishing the early Christian Church.
