About Confession in the Orthodox Church -

Confession is a sacrament in the Orthodox Church that involves seeking forgiveness for sins. It is a rite of absolution that is communally conducted and performed in front of a priest. The process of confession helps restore the relationship with God and is a form of repentance. It is important to understand the purpose of confession before you begin. Then, you meet with a priest and make an appointment for your first confession. Make sure to schedule this well in advance, as you may want to make a lengthy confession.
