Summary/Abstract: Through man, the whole world is called to sanctifi cation by way of grace, sanctifi cation which is shared by the Church through her grace fi lled work of the Holy Mysteries and hierurgies. Therefore, one cannot demonstrate a complete cosmic vision ofOrthodoxy without exploring the beacons of Orthodox worship. This worship takesplace in the Church and mobilizes the whole creation and human life, from birth todeath, in solidarity towards salvation and transfi guration with the whole visible andinvisible order
