Best Answer

An Orthodox priest is required to be a reverent man, not consuming much wine, not greedy for money, holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. They should also be blameless, and the husbands of one wife (for married priests), ruling their children and their own houses well. (1Timothy 3:8-12).

The canons (rules) of the Church, also specify various other requirements for a priest. These include the minimum age (30 years) and how he should perform the church services, he should imitate Christ, he should obey his bishop, should not be drunk or gamble, he should wear a bear, and should always wear his clerical garments.
