That is why we do not know what they do in the temple, how to behave there and what rules should be observed. But if your feet lead you to a holy place, don’t let ignorance stop you. If you want to come in and pray, you have to do it.

What to do when you enter the temple here you stand on the threshold of the temple. Next, you need to enter and calmly, without haste, cross yourself in the porch of the temple directly on the altar three times. It is best to do this in prayer. You can read “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
To better understand what the words we speak to the Lord are, we can listen to Bishop Augustine’s sermon. We highly recommend listening carefully and trying to understand what he is saying.

We will continue our journey to the temple. After prayer, you need to make a bow. We've come to God's house. It is also important to take into account that it is not customary to walk around the church during the liturgy, so it is better to come 10-15 minutes before the service. So you will have time to pray and buy candles in the church shop.
If the shop is not taken outside the temple, then after entering the church you need to buy candles and write notes about health or repose. You need to understand that this is not a mandatory ritual, but a desirable one. Putting candles is just a tradition, not a duty. It is more important to pray sincerely, come to church with pure thoughts, and leave with peace of mind. You can put the alms at the temple in a special box, but again if possible.
Next, you should approach the central icon in the middle of the room. It is also called a holiday icon, because it changes depending on the current event. When you approach the icon, you need to cross yourself twice, bow, attach yourself to the image, cross it once and carefully step away. Prayer is also recommended for the holiday. For example, if you see the icon of Nicholas the Wonderworker, then turn to him.
By the way, it is not necessary to attach and kiss the icon. Every believer does this at his own discretion and according to the disposition of the soul. You can express your feelings to God differently, that's okay.
Then you can go and put candles to the icons of the saints you want. At the very end, you need to go to the eve (the table on which candles are placed for the dead) and put a candle, cross yourself three times and pray for the departed. There is no need to walk around the temple and kiss all the icons, especially if it is nothing more than a formality. Every action must come from your heart and make sense to you.
After lighting candles and prayers, the saints can choose a place in the temple. You will stand there all the time and pray. In some temples, it is customary for women to occupy the left half of the temple and the man to occupy the right. But this is not observed in all parishes. Observe the parishioners to understand how they do in the temple where you came.
Don’t be afraid to ask if you don’t know something. Regular visitors to the temple will help you. If someone condemns you and scolds you, do not be upset. People are different. It only means that these people need to pray for a long time to truly come closer to understanding the Lord. Don't let that turn you away from your faith.
If you have requests or personal questions to the priest, it is better to address them after the service. It is also worth negotiating with the father about the general confession, about the consecration of the home or baptism. You can also ask how you can help the temple if you want. That's always welcome.
You can once again walk around the temple and attach to your favorite images, reading prayers. It is better to do this after the service, so as not to disturb other parishioners. Then you can leave the temple. You need to cross the altar three times. Do not forget to say thank you prayers. All pray in different ways, but many say the phrase: “Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner, save and preserve by Your grace!”
Basically, that's all you need to know. We hope that it will be easier for you to go to the temple. If you still have any questions, we can recommend our article on what not to do in the temple. We wish you a pleasant trip to church. May he deliver your soul from hardship and give peace and peace.
