Postulancy
About Course
Postulancy is the stage of deeper, formal commitment to Orthodox formation. The postulant enters fully into the Church’s worship — the daily cycle of services, the Divine Liturgy, and the Holy Mysteries — learns the veneration of the holy icons, the lives of the saints, and takes up the Psalter as the Church’s book of prayer.
