What to do when entering an Orthodox church for Easter service

Orthodox Christians entering church for Easter service should cross themselves three times and bow. This signifies respect and prepares them for prayer. Following this, believers typically light a candle for loved ones or personal intentions and submit prayer requests for the living and deceased. These are then remembered by the priest during services. The primary focus during the service is to listen attentively and participate in prayer as able. This guidance helps ensure a prayerful and peaceful experience.
