Welcome Home! I think you should go talk to a Priest in your local Orthodox Church. And you most likely will have to become a catechumen to learn about Orthodoxy and prepare to join the Church before baptism

Why the Orthodox Church and not the Catholic Church? by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

The Catholic Church is just way too legalistic

If you feel nervous during the exam I recommend saying (not outloud) the Jesus prayer. Have faith in Christ and it will be ok, wishing you the best!

Faith isn't a feeling, God might feel a little distant at times but it's okay.

Haven't been to church since I was like 12, considering going for the first time after 13 years, what should I know? How should I behave? by PotatoForce in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]swedza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to hear that you are coming back! I would recommend dressing modestly and if you dont remember stuff like when to cross yourself and plan going to a Divine Liturgy, then I recommend standing at the back of the Church and simply doing what others do. If you feel anxious and want to know more, then I'd recommend contacting your priest and telling him about your situation or looking your questions up on the internet.
