    The Holy Eucharist is the manifestation of the Orthodox Church as the new life in Jesus Christ, the new life of grace. In the Mystery (Sacrament) of the Holy Eucharist, we have the real and true presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and not any symbolic or imaginary appearance. The change of the elements of bread and wine takes place by supernatural means that surpasses all human understanding and which can only be understood through pure and undefiled faith. Although, the Holy Eucharist as a Mystery (Sacrament) and as a Sacrifice is simultaneously perfected by the same sanctification, it keeps the two inseparable features of the Mystery (Sacrament) and the Sacrifice that differ according to their nature.

    The word sacrifice is defined as the act of forfeiting one thing for another thing considered to be of greater value. The theme of sacrifice is one that is exemplified throughout both Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac, the story of a selfless hero, and Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House, which depicts the life of a woman in the 19th century. In these two plays, sacrifice takes many forms: the entity that is given up can be a something material, something physical, or even something abstract. Comparable examples of sacrifices can be seen in both plays, whether it be for love, for the happiness of others, or for pride.…

    In searching for a thesis for this paper, I was faced with a singular problem. With the ghastly subject of human sacrifice, what could possibly be argued and defended? During my reading and research, the stark and horrible reality of a butchered, battered, or burned human being slain in some grisly, weird ceremony for some equally weird gargoyle-like idol nearly caused me to choose another subject.…

These themes come up more than once in the story and in my opinion are very important to the moral or lesson of the story.…
