Summary/Abstract: Searching for the deep theological meanings of the Liturgy in the Orthodox Church, the scholar encounters several times the mention of the creation of the world, the beginning of things, through the power and love of God. This mentions are not fortuitous, because the entire theology of the Church leads to the conclusion that the Divine Liturgy is the re-creation of the world, a rebirth of the human being into the grace of God through the Holy Spirit that is poured upon us from the Pentecost, which is not only a historical event, but the permanency of the Church.
