The critical significance of death

The critical significance of death isn’t that it’s the end of life. Our immortal soul continues to exist after death.
The concomitant of death lies in the fact that afterwards the soul cannot help itself anymore to improve its existential state vis-à-vis God.
So your soul relies on the prayers and acts of faith performed by those who are still in their earthly existence- what we call ‘life’. The Church has special prayers and services for the departed which demonstrate its universal love for all people, and also recognize that we’re all still alive.

SHOW DESCRIPTION

The critical significance of death isn't the end of one’s life. Man’s immortal soul continues existing after death. The implication of death lies in the fact that afterwards the soul cannot help itself anymore to improve its existential state in front of God. Consequently, one's soul relies on the prayers and good acts of faith done towards the benefit of their name from the others which are still behind in man's earthly existence which is called "life". The Church has special prayers and services for the departed ones which portray church's global love for everyone as well as the acknowledgement that we all are alive. In this photo, a priest reads a prayer for the departed in front of the icon of Christ while blessing the koliva.
