Even if it is common among all Christian Churches, it has a variety of functions and meanings throughout the different liturgical traditions. The successive parts of the article present, in a synthetic way, the terminology associated with this gesture, the liturgical practice and theology of the imposition of hands in the sacramental celebrations of the Syriac and Byzantine Churches. Firstly our attention focuses on the Sacrament of Holy Orders, which takes its proper name in the Christian East form the elaborated gesture. The next paragraph concerns the Christian initiation and the last one contains information about those sacraments of the East in which the gesture is present, even if it has not the same essential meaning.
