Summary/Abstract: Our article is concentrated on the main significances of the liturgical space. The idea to concentrate on such a topic was inspirated by the Prayer year as 2022 was dedicated in Romanian Patriarchate. Speaking about prayer we need to refer to the place which is built to be the place of prayer. That is the church. Through the Service of consacration a newbuilding church becomes the House of the Eucharistic Liturgy an the House of The Holy Trinity. The architecture of the church has to be done in the spirit of the main service which is celebrated in it. It means that the church has to be constructed in the spirit of the Liturgy. Being dedicated exclusevely to the Liturgy the church is a liturgical space. In our article we pointed out some theological significances of the liturgical space as they are reflected in the Service of consacration of a new church and in the liturgical interpretation of St. Simeon of Thessalonika. Concluding, we focused on the need of liturgical catechesis which has to be addressed to our contemporary society.
