Myesis <ref name="term_52086" />
<p> ( '''''Μύησις''''' '', Initiation),'' a designation of [[Baptism]] among the Greek fathers, because they considered it to be the admittance of men to all the sacred rites and mysteries of the [[Christian]] religion. This term, as well as '''''Μυσταγωγία''''' , of frequent occurrence in the writings of [[Cyril]] of Jerusalem, was intimately connected with the secret discipline, and fell into disuse with the termination of that system. </p>
