Epiclesis is a liturgical term referring to the act of invoking the Holy Spirit, typically during the Eucharist, through the priest or celebrant's prayer and laying on of hands. It denotes the moment when the Spirit is invoked to consecrate the offerings and empower the congregation. Used in Christian liturgy, especially within Orthodox, Catholic, and Anglican traditions, its pronunciation is a focal point for careful, precise articulation in ceremonial contexts.
