This program examines the rituals of the Russian Orthodox Church. Persecuted under communism, it is now flourishing and exerting an impact on Russian life. A young Russian woman talks about how she incorporates the religion into her daily life. At an ornate cathedral in Moscow, we attend the Divine Liturgy, or formal Russian service, and a Baptism, at which the rituals and the significance of the various religious symbols, including icons and iconostases, are explained.
