Summary/Abstract: In the Orthodox funeral service is used the expression „Abraham’s bossom”. Borrowed from Luke’s gospel, mainly the parable of rich man and Lazarus, the expression itself speaks about eternal life. Actually, the entire parable the opposition between good and bad, between rich and poor, between believers and non-believers. But above all this, this expression comes with a very powerful meaning: the eternal life means being hold, being tight to the chest by God the Father.
