Abstract

The sacraments, also, are ceremonial festivities in which the
essence is symbollical act, composed of substance, gestures and
words, that is in essential connection with happening of the salvation
that is actualized by it. The sacraments, also, refer to nodes of points
of human existence, as individual so community, and they are
founded and celebrated in the faith of community of Church.
Religious acts/rites point to simbolical way of presence and
efficacy of transcendental in the life of community and individual in
connection with fundamental life situations. As a such they can represent sort of natural base for understanding of Christian
sacramental economy of salvation.
Biblical expirience do not deny forms of "natural sacramentality"
but takes over, purifies and transforms them. Meeting of salvation
with God, in the time of Church, has been happening in the symbolic
way, but because of that is neither less real not less actually
productive with grace.
