## Explanation

Lisa's devout faith, influenced by her nurse Agafya's stories of saints, and her eventual decision to take the veil highlight the role of Orthodox Christianity in providing moral guidance and a path to redemption.

Lisa's devotion to churchgoing and her promise to pray for Lavretsky highlight her deep religious faith, which Marfa Timofyevna contrasts with her own laxity.

Lisa speaks of praying for Lavretsky and the necessity of being a Christian because of mortality, reflecting her deep religious convictions.

Lavretsky's return to church, his prayerful experience, and the spiritual connection he feels with Lisa during mass.

The evening service is arranged at Lisa's desire; she prays steadfastly and fervently, while others show varying degrees of devotion, highlighting the role of faith in the characters' lives.
