Abstract:  Penitence is one of seven Christian sacraments, the most significant and «labour-intensive» one. The establishing of the essence and the nature of this phenomenon is extremely urgent for the Russian orthodox culture. The authors parameterize the concept PENITENCE in the cognitive, national and cultural aspects in this study: they single out the cognitive features differentiated as more or less significant ones; form the conceptual field; describe the cognitive scenario (concept-frame, concept-scenario) of this complex and multistage action; establish its predominantly intellectual character.
Besides, the Russian orthodox tradition of this concept is represented. It is stated that the most important thing in the concept PENITENCE is redemption which leads to the inner and external transformation (regeneration) of a person. A person’s change depends on two subjects: the person himself (the penitent) and the God. But the main work must be fulfilled by the person, that is why the person is obliged to execute 23 out of 24 activities realizing the action «penitence» on his own.
Such approach allows revealing the specific character of the concept PENITENCE interpretation inside the Christian and The Orthodox religious cultures, particularly in relation to the Russian, Greek and Latin Christian traditions.

Keywords:  concept (frame, scenario, script) PENITENCE, conceptual field
