You could go to any Catholic Church, that is Eastern or Roman Catholic...well even in an Orthodox Church and some Protestant Churches too for that matter.

Then you could sit in the pews and wait for Mass to start. Any time you hear the priest say anything like..."Father, we celebrate the memory of Christ, your Son. We, your people and your ministers, recall his passion, his resurrection from the dead, and his ascension into glory," that is called anamnesis. It is recalling to memory what God has done in the world.

For epiclesis it is anything like..."And make this Bread itself the precious Body of our Lord and God and Saviour Jesus Christ." It is asking God to do again for us today that which he did in the past.

So the anamnesis in this case is about God making Jesus alive again and epiclesis is asking God to make Jesus live again in the Eucharist.

The Eucharistic prayer, which has eight parts, namely the Preface, Acclamation, Epiclesis, Consecration, Anamnesis, Oblation, Intercessions, and Doxology goes back all the way to the Apostles, although there have been a few additions over the centuries, it has remained basically unchanged since the Apostles.

There are many prayers prayed by the priest during the Eucharist. I'm thinking that you are asking about a specific one, but this is just a guess. The Canon or Eucharistic Prayer is the central portion of the Eucharistic liturgy, it has eight parts: Preface, Acclamation, Epiclesis, Consecration, Anamnesis, Oblation, Intercessions, and Doxology.
