Apostleship of Prayer
The “Apostleship of Prayer” is an association of faithful in the Toronto Eparchy, whose purpose is to nurture, encourage and promote daily personal prayer, family prayer, reverence for the Lord’s Day, Sunday attendance at Divine Liturgy, and ever greater devotion to the Most Holy Eucharist. If you are interested in joining the Apostleship of Prayer at Holy Eucharist Church, informational pamphlets are available in the vestibule of the church, or contact the church office for more information.

Lighting Candles
Before entering the Temple proper, it is the custom of Byzantine Churches to make an Offering of Light. When we come into Church, we venerate icons, and at the same time, we light the candle and place them on the candle stands.

For your convenience, a candle box is provide in the nave of the church, right next to the vigil candles. A minimum donation is requested to reimburse the Church to cover the cost of the candle. Most churches use on pure beeswax candles as per the Canons and because they give a pure, clear and steady light. “You are the light of the world ... In the same way, your light must shine .. so that seeing your good works, they may give praise to your Father in heaven.” (Mt. 5:14-16) Lighting candles are an eloquent symbol of both Christ, our light; and that we are in Christ (both those who are glorified Saints depicted in icons and those called be be saints who come to church, and despite our sins and by God’s grace alone, form the Body of Christ.). Jesus said: “I am the Light of the world. Anyone who follows me will not be walking in the dar; he will have the light of life.” (Jn. 8:12)

MAKING REVERENCE
When we enter the Temple proper (ie. having passed through the Vestibule), we make a “Reverence” - the sign of the cross and bow. People often make three reverences. Also when we exit, we make a reverence (or 3).
