Christianity believes that while a person is alive, he has free will and a person has the right to decide for himself whether to move towards God or not. But when a person has already died, his will is no longer manifested, what he did during his lifetime, he will receive. Now after death, the prayers of relatives pull the soul towards the light, which does not resist, but on the contrary strives for God.

In addition, prayer for the departed is intended to heal you yourself, to bring you closer to God. Some people believe that prayers, fasts, austerities, temper the human spirit, if a person on earth is able to exercise willpower, then it will be easier for him to resist the temptation in the afterlife.

Prayer for the deceased up to 40 days

Then, usually 3 or all 40 days after death, the Psalter is read. Reading the psalter is a work and not very small. Most often, the Psalter is read in turn by the relatives and friends of the deceased. Any Orthodox believer can read the psalter, but the presence of a close relative is considered a very good sign.

In addition to personal reading at home, relatives often order an unbroken Psalter in church for 40 days, six months or a year. During this time, day and night, they pray for the soul of the deceased. In the Temple at this time, funeral services are ordered for the deceased, which are performed before the funeral. Also, in the first days after the death of a person, they usually order a magpie, where they will pray for a person for 40 days, then the magpie can be extended for a year. At the same time, they themselves go to church and light a candle for the peace of the soul.

How to light candles for peace?

In churches, so that loved ones can pray for the departed, an eve table has been set. This is a small table with a rectangular candlestick and the Crucifixion of the Lord. As a rule, it is located to the left of the entrance. If the desired table is missing for some reason, then a candle for the repose can be put to any icon.

How to put candles for peace? First, you must purchase a candle from the church shop. Go to the table, cross yourself twice and light your candle, bringing it to the other lit candles. Put a candle in an empty cell and say, "God rest, Lord, the soul of Your deceased servant (name)."
After that, you can stand to think about the deceased looking at the candle flame. It is customary to put candles for health at a round table. Candles for the repose are usually set on any day from 1 to 40. As soon as loved ones have a desire to remember the deceased.

Prayer for the 9th day for the deceased

On days 9 and 40, it is customary to pray especially for the deceased. On these days, they come to the church in advance of the beginning of the Liturgy and submit a note to the church shop about the repose of the deceased. Until the fortieth day, the note is written "newly departed (name)". In the church, the Commemoration of the deceased is performed at the Divine Liturgy, before or after the liturgy, a requiem is served. On the days of Great Lent, the litiya is read instead of the requiem.

It is customary to bring sweet porridge (kutya) to the church for the liturgy. Kutya is made from wheat or rice grains and honey. At the same time, grains symbolize life after death, and honey is the sweetness of heavenly life. Kutia and other treats are consecrated and blessed by the priest. After they can be taken home to the commemoration and treated to everyone.

After visiting the temple, it is customary to go to the grave to read the litiya there. The litia about the dead can be read in the house with the body, and in the temple and at the grave.

Is it possible to have a commemoration before 40 days?

The 40th day is considered a very important and decisive milestone for the soul of the deceased, and therefore the church commemoration is performed exactly on this day. For example, you can come to the early liturgy, and then go to work. However, the funeral table is allowed to be set on other days as well. For example, if the commemoration fell on Christmas or on a weekday, when relatives cannot get together even in the evening. However, in this case, it is better to remember earlier, since after 40 days, according to the beliefs of Christians, the exodus of the soul is already predetermined.

On parental Saturdays;
-On the anniversary of death;

However, if the suicide was complete as a result of a mental illness, in a state of passion, and in some cases through negligence, then if there is a medical certificate, you can turn to the ruling bishop to receive a blessing and subsequent funeral service.

If the suicide was voluntary, then relatives commemorate the deceased with a prayer at home:

Remember, Lord, if it is possible there is, the soul of Your servant (name), who departed into eternal life in apostasy from Your Holy Orthodox Church! Your destinies are invisible. Do not put this prayer of mine into sin. But Thy holy will be done!

You have blessed the conjugal union of a husband and wife, always declaring: it is not good for a single person to be, let us make him an assistant for him.

Orthodox Christians know a lot about the miraculous properties of prayers. Remembering the deceased, they help his soul to cleanse itself from sins and calmly go to the Kingdom of Heaven, where it will find eternal peace.

Prayers for the departed are not only a tribute of respect, but also a way to enlist the support of the clan for good luck in life. Thus, the living ask God for mercy, since prayers also save our souls, allowing them to be cleansed through sincere faith and repentance. They tune in to pacification, eradicating all the wicked that is happening in our hearts, contribute to spiritual growth and development. Prayers also help prepare for a sudden death, because, sadly, no one knows when that hour will come. The souls of the deceased are guarded by those who do not consign the memory of their ancestors to oblivion, but visit the cemetery and order prayers in the church for loved ones who have left us. To do this, before the liturgy, Christians bring notes with the names of all deceased baptized relatives and loved ones.

If you do not know whether your loved one is alive or not, after a certain time it is necessary to turn to the priest so that he will sing his burial service, so that the soul does not rush around our world in search of a way out. Often the prerequisites for the funeral service are prophetic dreams, where missing relatives who died under various circumstances give signs to the living. In such a dream, you can see his torment, a look full of supplication, or even a direct appeal of the deceased with a request to bury his ashes and pray for his soul.

Prayer for the deceased

“Great Lord, support in our lives. Each one will appear before Thy eyes at the appointed hour. In different ways, but invariably at the appointed hour, we all stand before Thy judgment. We pray to You, Father, have mercy on the souls of our departed brothers, parents, children and loved ones. Grant them your mercy, as you forgive the sins of those who repent sincerely. Deliver them from torment, forgive and have mercy on their involuntary sins, committed out of ignorance. As children ask forgiveness from their parents, so we pray you for forgiveness. Lord Almighty, we pray you with sincere faith and for the repentance of all the dead, whose ashes are not buried, whose thoughts are unclear. Grant them a fair trial, but save them from the devil's torment. Deliver their souls from eternal wandering across the sinful Earth, take them under your cover. Amen".

Prayer for departed relatives

“Our all-merciful heavenly Father! I, a sinful slave (name), pray to you in humility. Rest the souls of my relatives who have left our world (names). The servants of God are now in Your power. Their bodies were committed to the earth, and eternal souls went to the Kingdom of Heaven. Accept them and forgive them with all your mercy, forgive them their sins during their lifetime, voluntary and involuntary, and admit them to eternal communion. Let them watch over us, who are living, and through Your mercy suggest the only true and righteous way. Amen".

Prayers for all those who have died in centuries

“The sinful servant (name), bound by the bonds of sins, asks You, the Creator, for forgiveness and cleansing. Before your eyes with humility I came with my troubles, so let me pray for the souls of all the dead. For sinners and righteous men, soldiers and children, old and young. In all ages, souls flock to you and ascend. Do not leave one without attention, but forgive them all their voluntary and involuntary mistakes. I owe you life and death, I pray for guidance, peace and peace in my heart. Protect me from demonic manifestations during my lifetime, and I will remember all who have reposed now, and pay them respect through the words of a sincere and cleansing prayer. May it be so forever and ever, and all sinners will be righteous, may the blessed Kingdom of Heaven come on earth. Amen".

Do not forget to honor the memory of your family, because each devoted to the earth ascends to Heaven, where he continues to observe his relatives and provide all possible help. Visit the graves, paying respect, light candles, so that the cleansing fire through prayer and repentance will free your souls from all sins. Live in peace and don't forget to press the buttons and

It is known that with God everyone is alive, but many believe that visiting a cemetery on Easter is equated ...

In Orthodoxy, there are a large number of holidays and important dates. Radonitsa follows Easter week. ...

There are special dates in the Orthodox calendar that are set aside for the veneration of deceased relatives. They are called parental ...

Popular signs on Trinity are scary in their content. According to some legends, if you do not visit the cemetery in ...

Memorial prayer is an old tradition, its roots are in the mists of time. At all times, people have honored the dead.

The graves of those killed in the mammoth hunt were decorated with flowers and bones of a dead mammoth, ancient peoples (the Romans, for example) honored their ancestors as protectors and patrons of the house (the familiar words "penates" and "laras" are from Rome). Ancestor cult also existed in the East (the Chinese prayed to their ancestors, asking for wisdom). Slavic tribes also made sacrifices to their ancestors.

The Orthodox faith does not provide for the worship of the spirits of people. Why, then, do we still pray, remembering for the peace of the souls of those who have left this world?

What is the meaning of the funeral prayer for departed parents?

The one who died - loses the right to ask God for himself. Hence, a huge number of dogmas associated with the need to repent before death, and in general - a thorough preparation for another world. When a person is dead, his soul does not have the right to vote, does not speak, but only humbly awaits decisions. The prayer of children for deceased parents and other relatives pleases the soul, because it is not in vain that they say: a person is alive as long as he is remembered.

Prayers for the dead

As mentioned above, the soul itself cannot pray for mercy, but the relatives of the deceased may well ask the Lord and His honest Angels to mitigate the fate of the newly departed, and the more fervent the prayer, the more chances the soul of the deceased has to receive the mercy of God. The prayer book contains a huge number of prayers for a variety of cases of death - suddenly gone, stillborn babies, tragically killed, killed in the war - the list is simply huge, you need to try to find the right prayer for each specific case.

Not so long ago, the Canon appeared about the unauthorized belly of those who died - they had not prayed for suicides before under any circumstances. Now the merciful Mother Church has allowed private (home) prayer for them, the unfortunate ones who have committed the sin that they can never pray for.

About parents

It is customary to pray for deceased parents to children - for this there is a large number of prayers, such as the prayer of children for deceased parents and all Orthodox Christians who have died in the Orthodox faith for centuries.

Prayer "For the departed"

“Remember, Lord, from the life of this departed orthodox tsars and tsaritsa, noble princes and princesses, holy patriarchs, most reverend metropolitans, archbishops and Orthodox bishops, in the priest and in the parable of the church,
rest with the saints. (Bow)
Remember, O Lord, the souls of Thy servants who have fallen asleep, my parents (their names), and all relatives in the flesh; and forgive them all sins, voluntary and involuntary, granting them the Kingdom and the communion of your eternal good and your endless and blessed life pleasure. (Bow)
Remember, Lord, and all in the hope of resurrection and life of eternal repose, fathers and our brethren, and sisters, and here lying and everywhere, Orthodox Christians, and with Thy saints, where the light of Thy face is also present, instill have mercy on us, as it is Good and Humanitarian. Amen. (Bow)
Grant, O Lord, the remission of sins to all those who first departed in faith and the hope of resurrection, father, our brothers and sisters, and make them an eternal memory. (Three times) "

Such a prayer allows you to remember a large number of people in your memorial petitions.

There is also a separate prayer for deceased parents - it can be found on the Internet or in special publications with prayers for the dead.

Prayer "Children for departed parents"

“Lord Jesus Christ, our God! You are the guardian of the orphans, the grieving refuge and the crying comforter. I come running to You, siry, stening and. weeping, and I pray to you: hear my prayer and do not turn your face away from the sighs of my heart and from the tears of my eyes. I pray to You, merciful Lord, satisfy my sorrow
about separation from my parent (name) who gave birth and raised me; But his soul, as if he had gone to You with true faith in You and firm hope in Your love for mankind and mercy, accept into Your Kingdom of Heaven. I bow before Your holy will, it will be taken away from me, and I ask You, not to take away Your mercy and mercy from him. Wem, Lord, as if You, the Judge of this world, punish the sins and wickedness of fathers in children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, even up to the third and fourth kind: but also favor the fathers for the prayers and virtues of their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. With contrition and tenderness of heart, I pray to Thee, merciful Judge, do not punish with eternal punishment the deceased unforgettable for me Thy servant, my parent (name), but let him go all his sins, voluntary and involuntary, in word and deed, knowledge and ignorance, created by him in his life here on earth, and according to Your mercy and love for mankind, prayers for the sake of the Most Pure Theotokos and all the saints, have mercy on him and save eternal torment. You, merciful Father of fathers and children! grant me, all the days of my life, until my last breath, never cease to remember my deceased parent in my prayers, and entreat Thee, the righteous Judge, and lead him in a brighter place, in a cooler place and in a place of peace, with all the saints , all sickness, sadness and sighing will by no means run away. Merciful Lord! accept this day about Thy servant (name), this warm prayer of mine, and reward him with Thy reward for the labors and care of my upbringing in faith and Christian piety, as if he taught me first of all to lead Thee, His Lord, in reverence to pray to Thee, in Thee one hope in troubles, sorrows and diseases, and keep Your commandments; for his blessing about my spiritual prosperity, for the warmth they bring for me in prayers before you and for all the gifts they have asked me from you, give him your mercy, your heavenly blessings and joys in your eternal kingdom. Thou art the God of mercies and bounty and love for mankind, Thou art the peace and joy of Thy faithful servants, and We glorify Thee with the Father and the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and forever and ever. Amen."

In addition, it is customary to remember separately the deceased who died after a long and serious illness.

Prayer "For the deceased after a long illness"

“God, You have done that our brother“ name ”served (our sister“ name ”served) You in the midst of suffering and sickness, thus participating in the Passion of Christ; We ask You to honor him (her) participation in the glory of the Savior. Through Christ our Lord. Amen."
But, standing before the Throne of God, accept our prayers and bring them to the All-merciful God, forgive us every sin and help us become against the wiles of the devil, so that we will get rid of sorrows, diseases, troubles and misfortunes and all evil, we will piously and righteously live in this day and let us be honored by your intercession, if you are not worthy of me, see the good on the land of the living, glorifying the One in His saints glorified God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and ever. Amen."

You can also pray for the repose of the souls of "mentors and educators" - if they were of great importance in your life and upbringing, there is a separate prayer for this case in the prayer book.

How to pray correctly?

You can pray at home and at the cemetery. At home, they pray for the dead every day during the evening commemoration of the departed, and for the newly departed (who died less than forty days ago) - every day, reading prayers. If there is time and opportunity, a special Canon is also read.

When we go to the cemetery, it is customary to read prayers there, but you can get by with the sign of the cross and a short greeting. The church has established special days (called “parental days”) on which it is customary to visit burial places. The attributes of the next church holiday (willow, Easter, eggs, and so on) are brought to the graves.

It should be noted that one should not go to the cemetery on the day of the Bright Resurrection of Christ - all the dead were raised by Christ from their graves, and they themselves will come to visit for the Easter meal.

You can christen and congratulate them on Easter in absentia, and visit them on Tuesday in the week following Bright Week - the week after Easter.

In response to the "Everybody walks" argument, one can report that this tradition has taken root in Soviet times, when there was simply no other opportunity to visit the graves of relatives, except for a day off. Now, no one will accuse you of parasitism if you take an hour off from work on a weekday to visit your deceased relatives .

Friends, good afternoon. There is a Tajik proverb: "You cannot help a dead man by crying." The proverb is true, but I would add it like this: "You cannot help the dead by crying, but you can help by prayer for them." Let's see how we can help departed people in a new life for them.

Why the departed cannot help themselves

As long as a person is alive, he can always repent, which means he can receive forgiveness from God. But after death, the soul of a person can no longer intercede for itself before the Lord, but the living can.

How and where the soul of the deceased will live in the future depends on a combination of three main factors - on the Grace of the Lord, on how a person lived in this world and on our prayers (petitions, requests, deeds ...) for the deceased.

The Power of Prayers for the Dead

Our prayers for the newly departed are especially important, since it is within 40 days after death that the further spiritual fate of a person is determined. Will the soul go to Hell or Heaven? It also largely depends on our prayers. When praying for the newly departed, we ask God for mercy to the deceased, giving an excuse to "relax" the punishment.

But even after forty days we can improve the position of the souls of the departed. Each of our prayers for the deceased, each prayer for him is an occasion for the Lord to improve the position of the soul of the deceased.

Praying for the salvation of the soul of the deceased is a sacred duty that is entrusted to living relatives. Remember that only by praying for deceased loved ones can you deliver them the only good they are waiting for. This blessing will be the remembrance of the Lord.
