- Unmercenary — A Christian religious term designating a saint (usually a physician or healer, such as Cosmas and Damian or Pantleimon) who practiced their profession or gift of healing completely free of charge, structurally refusing any payment, material reward, or money from patients. As an adjective, it describes a person, deed, or attitude devoid of silver, financially disinterested, acting exclusively out of philanthropy or Christian charity.
- Antim — A proper masculine name of Greek origin (Anthimos), historically carried by major ecclesiastical figures, the most famous being Antim Ivireanul, Metropolitan of Wallachia, author of 'Didahii' and founder of the Antim Monastery in Bucharest. In a cultural and structural sense, it represents a symbol of the development of printing, old literary Romanian, and medieval typographic art.
- Antim Ivireanul — Author, printer, engraver, theologian, and great hierarch of Georgian origin (Iberia), Metropolitan of Wallachia between seventeen group eight and seventeen sixteen, canonized as a saint by the Romanian Orthodox Church; a prominent figure of the Brâncovenesc era who contributed structurally to the definitive introduction of the Romanian language into divine service and the development of medieval typographic art. His major masterpiece is 'Didahii', a collection of rhetorical sermons of exceptional stylistic value.
- Antimension — A rectangular linen or silk cloth printed with the scene of the entombment of Jesus Christ and containing sewn-in particles of holy relics, consecrated by a bishop and absolutely mandatory for celebrating the Divine Liturgy in Orthodox churches. In a structural and liturgical sense, it represents the delegation of direct hierarchical authority granted by the bishop to the serving priest to perform the sacraments.
- Antimension variant — A regional variant, popular inflectional form, or nominal feminine alteration of the noun antimis, used in certain historical communities to designate the same consecrated liturgical cloth required for serving at the altar; structurally, it retains the same symbolic and canonical functionality within religious worship.
- Anthologion — A liturgical book specific to the Eastern Orthodox Christian ritual of Byzantine tradition, containing a structural selection of the most important chants, prayers, troparia, and readings extracted from the Menaion, Octoechos, and Triodion. This ecclesiastical compendium was created for practical needs to centralize Sunday services and major feast days into a single volume accessible to priests and chanters.
- Pulpit — A regional or archaic linguistic variant for the noun 'amvon' (pulpit); an elevated platform or rostrum located within the nave of a church, used by clerics to deliver sermons or teach biblical lessons to the faithful.
