Lord
,link
The name '''Lord''' in the Orthodox Christian belief refers to '''God''' in His three persons and reflects His power and authority.
The English word ''lord'' originated from the Old English ''hlaf-weard'' (loaf-guardian) – reflecting the Germanic tribal custom of a superior providing food for his followers. This context is expressed for God as Lord in Orthodoxy in the [[Lord’s Lord's Prayer|Our Father]] as ''…give us this day our daily bread…''.
