Many cross the threshold of the temple when they are inevitable disaster - the death of a loved one. Tormented by incredible remorse, driven by longing for dear people, you simply burn out of the desire to do everything possible for them. The service, called the liturgy, is one of the types of prayers for the repose of the departed Christians. There are also other types of prayers, which can be ordered in any church. To do this, write a note and throw it in the church box.

Instruction manual
1
You can order prayers not only in churches, but also in private houses, chapels, fields. Such services can be both public (for the whole nation, for example, on Christmas Eve or Easter), and private (prayer for the health of someone).
2
Order a prayer for health in any Orthodox church. The concept of “health” for church service includes both physical and spiritual health, and material well-being. A moleben "On Health" is ordered to cure ailments, get rid of enemies and envious people.
3
In order to order the service, go to the church box and write on the sheet the names of those people whose health you need to pray. In some churches, it is necessary to dictate the names of the servant - she will write them down and throw them on her own in the necessary box. On the prepared notes at the top of the sheet you can see the image of the cross and the signature "On Health".
4
Remember that a moleben can only be ordered for baptized people. Listed names write in the nominative case, in legible and clear handwriting. It is also necessary to make a note next to each name: if you order service for a child up to seven years old - write a baby, from seven to fourteen - a lad, a soldier for military service or a person with a military profession - a warrior, mark "sick" next to the name of a sick person, in addition, you can indicate the holy dignity (if any).
5
When you make a note, do not forget that according to the canons of the Church, the name of the Patriarch should go first, followed by the name of the Archpastor, then the name of the spiritual father. The following is a listing of the names of parents, their name, the names of family members (husband, wife, children), relatives and friends. At the end you must indicate the names of your benefactors.
6
In addition, you can order a prayer service "For repose." To do this, also write on the sheet the names of the deceased in the nominative case and throw in a special box or dictate the names of the servant. During the service, notes are brought to the altar, where they are read before the throne during the Divine Liturgy.
7
In addition to a simple prayer service, you can also order a sanctuary. Then during the service, water will be sanctified, which will later be distributed to believers.
Useful advice
The Sorokoust service (daily prayer reference to the repose of the dead and the health of the living for forty days) is ordered in several churches at once - this way you can get rid of the evil eye and spoilage. In order to order this prayer service, it is necessary to write on a piece of paper the names of the people to be prayed for and pass a note to the altar.
