The Orthodox Church has five sacraments, called the quinary, which it maintains are essential and inherent parts of the Alydian faith. They each represent both the individual's relationship with God and also a key stage in the life of Saint Alydian. The first sacrament, often administered to infants, is the charisma, which means a freely given gift of grace. In the Caudex, Saint Alydian's charism occurred before the burning bush and so modern charisma take place before an icon of the burning bush or occasionally statues of a bush. A priest or other ordained person dips the feet of the supplicant in water or sprinkles water on the feet to purify them. This act is sometimes called the pedelavium.
Confirmation is the second sacrament and imitates the revelations that Saint Alydian received from God. Children and baptized adults receive their revelations from the church through religious education, which culminates in confirmation.
Contrition is the admission of error.
Consecration is not a universal experience, it relates only to the clergy and others in consecrated life.
Cremation is the final right, which takes place after death. The burning of remains is an important rite because it symbolizes unification with the holy flame and because it was Saint Alydian's last request.
