EUCHARIST AS THE MEDICINE OF LIFE

Abstract: The meaning of a symbol or imagery is not limited in itself. It radiates an immense level of meaning in accordance with the context within which it is interpreted. This is the way of Eastern theologization. The Eastern approach to theology is on the basis of the experience of God rather than an academic exercise.It is not based on dogmatic assertions rather it is the result of encounters with divine mysteries. It is liturgical, doxological, symbolic, iconic, pneumato- centric, and ecumenical. In this academic paper, we will study the Transcendental Leap of the imagery of the Medicine of Life on the basis of liturgy and teachings of the Fathers of the Church.
