    STUDIA THEOLOGIA ORTHODOXA - Issue no. 2 / 2014  
         
  Article:   HOLY EUCHARIST IN THE ORTHODOX CONFESSIONS OF FAITH.

Authors:  . 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  The Confessions of Faith of the XVIth – XVIIth centuries do not set forth comprehensively and systematically the teaching on the Eucharist, but they contain statements of great importance, with solid scriptural argument. All these emphasize the sacramental and sacrificial character of the St. Eucharist and the real presence of Lord’s Body and Blood through transformation (epiclesis), excluding any rational explanation and rejecting the Catholic transubstantiation. There are also highlighted aspects of the Saint Eucharist: the use of leaven bread, the sacred Communion under both forms, the practice of giving the Saint Eucharist to children, the thorough preparation, for its reception, the Confession being a condition sine qua non.

Key-words: Eucharist, Mystery, sacrifice, Confession of Faith, Church.
