Priest

A special term for an ordained minister of a Roman Catholic or Anglican or Orthodox church; In Roman circles, the term refers to those who recite the Mass, but the Anglican Church traces the word's origin to a Celtic corruption of the official term for Clergy - Presbyters. The duty of a priest, according to the prayer book, is to baptize, preach the Word of God, and to celebrate the Eucharist, and to pronounce Absolution and Blessing in God's Name.
