The goal of this paper is to examine the use of participles in the Eninski Apostol. The analysis is realized according to the use of the relative participles: 1) in the attributive function, 2) in the appositive function and 3) in the predicative function. Besides I turn my attention to the participles that are used in other functions. By the research the aim was not only to describe the functions of the participles, but also to show their possible substitution with different clauses. Besides I turn my attention to the phenomena which can be connected with the decline of declension endings of the short participles.
