How to commemorate for health and for the peace of souls?


       Primary prayer for the health of the living and the peace of the souls of the dead Orthodox Christians Church performs at Divine liturgy and by sacrificing bloodless offering to God. Because of that their names should be given to the Church or written at our site (only baptised Orthodox Christians). At Proskomidia the particles will be taken from the prosphora for their health or the peace, and they will be put to the Holy Cup and washed by the God’s Son’s blood at the end of the Liturgy as a symbol of forgivness for the human sins by Christ. It should be remembered that mentioning during the Divine Liturgy is the greatest good for those who we love.
       In addition to general religious services (Liturgy, Morning Service, Vesper Service) there are isolated services in Orthodox Church so-called rituals (since they are performed on the believers call) as well as prayers called ’moleban’ (for the living) and requiems (for the dead). They are usually performed afterwards the Liturgy. You can fix a ’moleban’ to Savior (to thank, for the sick, for travellers etc.), to the Mother of God (to different icons of her) or to the honored Saints according to the believers wish.You can give the names to be mentioned for the living as well for the dead Christians after 40 days, half a year or one year....
       God likes us to get help from Him in our needs through our prayers to the Mother of God and Saints.For example, the prayers to the icon of the Mother of God’ The cup that was not drunk’, to Saint Bonifacije, to righteous Jovan Kronstatski help with the drinking illness, St Nikolaj Miracle Worker is a patron saint for travellers and he also helps to get daughters married, and he answers other calls for help; saint soldiers Teodor Stratilat, Jovan Soldier, charitable prince Aleksandar Nevski and others as well as Jovan Precursor protect Orthodox soldiers; if we are sick we ask for help martyr and healer Pantelejmon, saint Unmercenary Physicians Kozma and Damjan....
       The number of names is unlimited; you should only keep in mind that believer, if he can, should give a donation for Church’s needs.
       Knowing that giving the names to be mentioned during the Liturgy is something greatest that we can do for our neighbours (especially passed away ones) we sholdn’t forget to pray for them at our homes and to do some charity deeds as well.
