REMEMBER OF ANCESTORS Reader! Remember your Ancestors according to Russian custom. Not a candle in the church "for the repose of the soul," not ordering a prayer service from a fat-bellied priest - almost Them the way it was done in the old days. In Russian. GLORY TO THE ANCESTORS! Grandfathers are the souls (spirits) of the Ancestors who flew to Iriy. It was said about the deceased that he "went to the Grandfathers" or "walks with the Grandfathers". The souls of ancestors on certain days of the year fly from Iriya to visit living relatives, who are obliged to properly meet and treat them. Failure to observe the custom of remembering and leaving food for the Grandfathers, who are considered the guardians of the clan, can cause discontent and all sorts of troubles. “One cannot but celebrate grandfathers,” our ancestors said, “if you don’t mark once, and your cattle has already died”. Days of commemoration of our relatives, our common Slavic Ancestors, the Ancestors in the Russian Tradition: Winter Christmastide: from Kolyada (December 25) to Vodokres (January 6). Veshnye Grandfathers: the week before Veshny Mokosh (May 9). Autumn Grandfathers: the week before Autumn Mokosh: celebrated on Saturday (six), close to October 21, on the 27th day after Radogosh and 7 days before Mokosh. _________________ Autumn makosh is celebrated on the last Friday before November 1. These are the most important dates; there are other holy days during which rituals of remembrance of the Ancestors are performed (for example, the holiday of Komoeditsa, celebrated on March 25). It is not at all necessary to honor deceased relatives strictly according to the calendar - the commemoration of the Ancestors is appropriate at any time. In some cases, Babas (rites of remembrance of deceased female ancestors) and Children (rites of remembrance of relatives who died before reaching adulthood) are also held. The Babas are always held on Friday, and the Children are always held on the Thursday preceding the corresponding Grandfathers date. In front of the Grandfathers, they cleaned themselves cleanly, washed in the bathhouse, where they left a bucket of clean water and a new broom for the souls of their ancestors. The women prepared various dishes, the presence of meat dishes, as well as hot ones, “for the steam to go” was considered obligatory on the table. Before dinner, all the doors in the house were opened so that the souls of the ancestors could freely enter and sit at the table. The owner lit a candle and invited all the ancestors to dinner. The number of dishes on the table could be different, but necessarily odd and not less than five. There should not be piercing and cutting objects on the table - they ate with spoons, which were left on the table from time to time so that the Ancestors could use them. Each dish was served in pairs (if 7 dishes, then on 14 plates). This balanced the situation when neither the living nor the dead should be offended. The funeral table usually began with ceremonial porridge, and before proceeding to the next dish, part of it was put on a special plate for perfume, which was usually placed on the windowsill. The solemn memorial dinner lasted quite a long time, everyone behaved with restraint. They remembered the best in their deceased relatives, those actions that more than one generation of this kind can be proud of. During the festive dinner, it was allowed to speak only about grandfathers - their lives, individual cases and character traits, their words and instructions, wise advice and good deeds were recalled. This conversation began with a story about the oldest and most famous ancestor, and ended with a recollection of the dead quite recently. This was done every year, gradually passing on all the information to the children and grandchildren. Usually, the Ancestors are commemorated either at their graves or at home. You can do this in any other suitable place, in the form of a ceremony - the main thing is that no one and nothing interferes with the ceremony. For the ceremony you need: A candle, a saucer for a treasure, a treasure (pancake, a piece of bread, cookies, etc.). Ritual food (food) is desirable: pancakes, kutia, jelly. The course of the ceremony: First of all, take precautions (especially if you are at home, and not in a cemetery), since contact with the Other World is dangerous and can entail not only positive, but also negative consequences. To do this, say protective words. For example: Chur-churila, star-prestar You walk, walk, walk You walk, walk, walk You look, look, look Any evil from me dare Chur, chur, chur! Goy! This is an appeal to Churu (Ancestor). Modern native believers understand the word "Chur" as either the Ancestor or the God of protection and boundaries. After that, speech and some kind of protective conspiracy is not bad. For example, this: Black and black, black and unclean Spill it out like it wasn’t at all. In fact, the word ryok kolo protected it! In fact, the word ryok kolo protected it! Goy! Light the candles, accompanying the kindling of the Fire with the appropriate words. For example: Fire Svarozhich, reunite Heaven to the son of Heaven! Goy! Then - call on the deceased relatives: you can invite both specific Ancestors (calling them by name), and all Ancestors in general. Here is the traditional address to the Grandfathers: Holy Grandfathers, we call you! Holy Fathers, fly to us! Consecrate the demand (by holding it over the Fire). Bring it as a gift to the Ancestors (by placing it on a dish). Now you can start your funeral meal. During (and after) meals, you can talk with the Ancestors, tell them about your life, ask for advice. They will hear. And, perhaps, you will even hear their answer: At the end of the ceremony, turn to the Grandfathers with a request to go back to the Other World. Holy Fathers, you flew here Drank and ate Fly well now to your place! Put out the candles (best of all with your fingers, as a sign of respect for the Fire). If you are at home, take the dish with the demand outside and leave it there; if at the cemetery, leave it at the grave. ________________________________________ These days, according to the Russian folk Tradition, the "clean" dead are commemorated. The "pledged" dead (which include all those who died prematurely by an unnatural death: both suicides and those killed) were honored on the day of Yarila the Wet (June 4). In the old days, if the “mortgage” was commemorated at home at the same time as the “clean” ones, the sacrificial food was put under the table for him (and not on the table, as for other Ancestors), and they donated less to him than to the “pure” Ancestors. The words "chur", "schur" mean "ancestor". Expressions "mind, mind, mind!" or "mind me!" is a call to the Ancestors asking for protection. With Christianization, the rituals of remembrance of the Ancestors turned into parental Saturdays (up to six times a year) and still exist in this form. Dmitrievskaya Saturday - celebrated in the third week after the Intercession. Remembrance ceremonies are held several times a year. For each rite, a period of 10-14 days is set, during which it should be performed, but the rite is always held on Saturday.
As long as my mother was alive, there was never a feeling of nagging defenselessness. Yes, grandfathers, grandmothers and even a father are long gone. But, as I now know, only she protected me by simply living in Yavi. This fall, in in the seventh I'm going to call all those who have left to protect my current family. Will anyone respond to the call of the unlucky daughter of her kind?
But first I will collect, like a patchwork quilt, what I know about the worship of the Ancestors among the Slavs.
Navia Seedmitsa- waiting for the Ancestors
They turn to the Ancestors in the spring, when the snow has not melted yet
They burn a straw fire in the spring, as a memory of the great theft. At the same time, they burn spruce branches in the house to cleanse the house and household.
On different dates, this happens, from March 19 to April 22, on Maundy Thursday. Making such fires is accompanied by the "clicking of the dead". “At night, in the dark, they spin a thread (to the left) and tie it around the wrists, until the sun rises (“ so that the conspiracy word is strong ”), they go to the forest before sunrise for heather or juniper. In the early morning, before sunrise, they light it up in a frying pan in the middle of the hut on the floor, and all family members jump through this fire and call the dead. Spruce branches are scattered around the yard, they feed the brownie with chicken. At the same time, children run around the yard with bells (cattle botals) in their hands to ward off any evil spirits from the cattle. At sunrise, they pour water over themselves, washing away all unclean things. "
They told me that on the same day the owner of the house should smoke three crosses on the jamb of the front door with Thursday candles. I will listen to the ancient words: “... And leave water for kutya more for the dead on the capital. And the sweep (garbage) at the gates is burned on Maundy Thursday, saying: "At that fire, souls are getting hot."
Navia Seedmitsa- veneration of the Ancestors
They call out to the dead, cry for them during Rodonitsa.
Later the holiday "Rodonitsa" began to be called "Radunitsa" or "Radonitsa". But the first name, from the Sort-Father, somehow sinks right into the heart. They call on the Ancestors to guard the house, to patronize young families. I know that they feed the earth with eggs and honey at this time. This holiday is among the Slavs in early May. From 1 to 7 May - Veshnie Dedy. And the main day this week is the second from the beginning, the second of May, you name it.
Here again the "calls" are repeated - appeals to the dead. Here's what is known: " On this day, Russia usually commemorates the parents. Even ahead of time, women bake pies, wheat pancakes, pancakes, kokurki, cook millet and noodle makers, boil meat, jelly, fry eggs. With all these dishes they go to the churchyard. Women sing laments for the dead. " In our north, these laments are known and are different in relation to different relatives. Perhaps I will write about this in more detail later. “People talk with deceased relatives, commemorate them, bury colored eggs in their graves, pour mash, clean them with fresh turf, on top of which are placed all kinds of delicious dishes, including honey drinks. When the dishes have been arranged, the commemorators call the afterlife guests by name and ask them to drink and eat at the funeral feast. "
Navia Seedmitsa- four times a year
During the green Christmastide, they remember death and life
Grandfathers are remembered, after a holiday for the whole world, with games and dances, the glorification of life. This happens during the "green Christmastide", between May 5 and June 9, in the midst of spring prayers for the welfare of the loaves that have risen.
This festival takes place at the resting place of the ancestors. This is how it was in past centuries:
First, crying and a "great cry" for the dead, then "demonic games" (as the Christian churchmen put it), performed by buffoons who had arrived specially in advance ("... they are always chilling ..."). Then - the common dances and singing of all who came to remember the ancestors. Behind all these rituals is the desire to live and enjoy short-term life.
And here comes the autumn Navya week ...
One part of the remembrance takes place in the house, the second - at the resting place.
Navia Seedmitsa- the memory of the departed
October Commemoration - Navia Seventa
Once upon a time, in remote times, ancestors were remembered and commemorated twice a year - in spring and autumn. During the time of Ivan the Terrible, autumn prayers were a widespread affair - the famous "Dmitrovskaya" (parental) Saturday. They say that this is the case of Sergius of Radonezh, who included this Slavic holiday in October in Orthodox use - a strong reminder of the ancient veneration of ancestors. I will listen to the ancient saying: "The deceased lead Dmitriev's day to Russia, the deceased lead - they watch the living"... Some word - "deceased". These are those who feel comfortable.
What are the dates?
Everything in the calendars has shifted now. That Slavic holiday on October 19, according to the old style, in 2019, the Orthodox will celebrate on November 8. And we will celebrate our Slavic Autumn Grandfathers from 19 to 26
How am I preparing for Navya's week?
Everything starts for me on Saturday, at home. I will clean up, wash the house, put things in order in my soul and thoughts. I will cook twelve dishes, including pancakes, and I will not forget boiled eggs. I am mastering the preparation of kutya, although I have never done it until now. I'll cover the table with a new white tablecloth, prepare extra plates, glasses, cutlery for my dear departed. I will deliver food, open windows, doors for a while and invite in silence and reverence: “Dear Grandfathers, come and dine with us! Go on your own, and bring with you those who have no one to go to! There is everything here that the house is rich in. We ask you: fly to us! "
I will put a yellow wax candle on the table, thanks to the Ancestors I will say:
Already you, the sun, the sun is clear! You ascend, ascend from midnight, you shine a joyful light on all parents, so that they do not sit in darkness, do not grieve with misfortune, do not live with longing ”.
Let us listen, look for signs that have come to us from another World. Let's sit with our family, leaf through old photos, tell funny and sad stories that we remember about our relatives, smile at our childhood memories, cry from the sadness that will become brighter from these simple actions. I will ask my grandfathers not to leave us without help and I will look. And it seems that we don't need anything special. Only the feeling of a warm look, a hint of a smile and the belief that everything will be fine.
Let's go to bed. For seven days in a row, we will feed the birds on the street with a festive treat. So simple. So important. A week for reflection and acceptance. Navia week.
And in a week we will return to normal life. Next Saturday we will open the doors and windows again for a little while: "Holy Fathers, you flew here, drank and ate, Fly now to your place!"
And I will listen to the wind and rustle of yellow leaves under the raindrops, warm my hands over the candle and know that those who love me look at me from above with a kind smile.
Peace and protection to you!
Irina Ivanova.
Thanks for the photo to V. Larionov
Read our previous article “Slavic traditions. Autumn grandfathers ".
And also read what's going on Veles night.
As long as my mother was alive, there was never a feeling of nagging defenselessness. Yes, grandmothers and even my father are long gone. But, as I now know, only she protected me by simply living in Yavi. ">
In the Vedic tradition, the day of remembrance of ancestors, in addition to some specific days of the calendar, is considered Saturday. Today is Saturday (while researching - it's Sunday). Not the point, for some reason today I wanted to remember this.
Before turning to this topic, I would like to say that our family, even those who left this world, at least up to the 7th knee, stand behind us and provide us with support. Well, at least that's how it should be ...
No wonder in the old days our ancestors kept the memory of their kind. After all, not only aristocrats and royal families had the concept of a family tree. If you remember, in old Russia, even among ordinary peasants, the family name was often passed on from the progenitor by his name. That is why we have so many Ivanovs (Ivan), Sidorovs (Sidor), Prokhorovs, Matveyevs, Ilyins ... Or it was a surname associated with the occupation of their ancestors - Kuznetsovs, Kuptsovs, Sapozhnikovs, Portnovs. And people remembered their family, stories about ancestors were passed from father to son, from son to his son ... It is unlikely that it was just a whim. People possessed this knowledge that the race is its protection.
Of course, now everything has changed. No wonder there is a proverb: "Ivan, not remembering kinship"... When the foundations of our state collapsed, it was beneficial for the Bolsheviks that a person forgot his family, family, and fought only for an idea. And in principle, they succeeded in many ways. How many people now remember at least the name of his great-grandfathers? And you need to remember, if only because without them there would be no us.
There is such a thing as generic karma. And for us now it is rather negative karma, but not because the family is cursed or someone in the family has sinned. How can our ancestors help us if we do not even remember about them? If we don't pray for their souls, if they made mistakes? Thank you for your life? Many people simply don’t even have time now - we all the time participate in the race for survival - how to become more successful, how not to be late, how to earn even more, how not to lose. But in principle, we have already lost a lot. And, perhaps, the help of our kind will be more effective in solving any of our problems than relying only on ourselves as a "mighty" ...
Of course, for many now it is almost impossible to restore the lost family ties. But it is believed that if you turn to an ancestor, even without knowing his name, his soul still understands that we are talking about her. And it doesn't matter that perhaps this soul already lives in another incarnation. We are all connected by thin invisible threads. As God, he is both one and multiple at the same time.
Sometimes the question is asked: how can the contradiction between the doctrine of reincarnation and the doctrine of the need to honor ancestors be removed? Indeed, at first glance, it seems that if a person's soul has incarnated into a new body, then venerating him as an ancestor does not make sense (how can he accept veneration if he is already in another body?). Different spiritual people give different answers to this question.
First, the soul does not necessarily reincarnate immediately after death. It may take a long time before the soul assumes a new body.
They also point to the existence of the concepts of "collective memory", "heavenly twin", "parallel self", which remains in the energy field when the soul is reincarnated. Sometimes this is interpreted to mean that it is not a literal entity. These are our actions in our past lives, which live like the shadows of the past or like our memories and the memories of other people.
Remember and honor your family and over time you will feel inexplicable support, strength, confidence, wisdom that came from nowhere, answers to questions that pop up from nowhere, as if you just knew about it before. Try it, do not skimp on love !!!
Words in words, but how to do it if we are untrained? I tried to find information from various sources. Everyone subconsciously chooses for himself what suits his soul. Any tradition has the right to be. In any case, only those who need this information will read this article. I myself, quite recently, just out of the blue, had a question of my kind. Grew literally out of the blue.
When I started to be interested in this, I thought, well, what can I find? Who in our time thinks especially about ancestors? There were and were. It turns out I was wrong, it has always been an important component in all cultures. Here are just a few examples, and then there are China, Japan, Egypt, etc.
- Slavic Vedas.
In the Days of Remembrance of Ancestors and Parental Days, which you can find in the Calendar (other Russian), you can commemorate the Ancestors.
To do this, lay bloodless (not animal) food on the home Altar - treasures and gifts - pancakes, pancakes, cookies, fruits, nuts, sweets, honey, jam, etc. It is very good if you yourself cooked the treasures yourself.
For example, baking pancakes - the first pancake - on the altar to God, and the second to the Ancestors. The rest - to old people and children, then to themselves. Because, when preparing food personally, you put "your Soul", your energy, therefore, remembering the Ancestors with such food, you exchange energies with them and give them your strength so that the communication channel does not dry out, and so that they have energy so that you help.
Requests are placed on the Altar with the following words: "Heavenly Clan, Progenitor! You, Patron of Clans of all! Remember all my Ancestors! Koi in Thy Light Swarga! Now and ever, and from Circle to Circle!
The altar is arranged in the far left corner of the room from the entrance. (In one of the articles I read that an altar for commemorating ancestors (or just a place for commemoration) is installed in the southern part of the room, which is very much in line with the Indian Vedas, because in their tradition, the South is ruled by Yamarazd, the God of death.)
- Orthodox Church.(mind you, where I started from - in Orthodoxy, parental day is also Saturday !!!)
The Church has established days of solemn, universal, ecumenical commemoration. The memorial services performed at the same time are called ecumenical, and the days on which commemoration is performed are called universal parental Saturdays. In the circle of the liturgical year, such days of general remembrance are: meat-passing Saturday; Saturday Trinity; Parental Saturdays of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th week of Holy Forty days; Radunitsa; Dmitrievskaya Saturday; Day of the beheading of John the Baptist; Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War. On these days, it was supposed to visit deceased relatives in the cemetery, invite them to a festive feast. They believed that the dead, having received an invitation, came to their homes, sat at tables, ate and drank with the living, and stood in the church at the festive liturgy.
- Indian Vedas.
There is a wealth of information about the veneration of ancestors. Pinda, Shraddha ... You can find it yourself on the internet. For me, the most laconic, simple and real at home at one time was the information thrown off to me by one wonderful girl Lena Gufranova, which I am now sharing with you.
Practice at home.
For the practice you will need: a church candle, a pack of rice, spices, two new plates. You will not be able to eat from these plates. Mark them - one will be for offering food to God, the second - for the Ancestors. Store them separately later.
- Get up in the morning, bathe, and put on clean clothes. The kitchen should also be clean.
- Put the rice to boil and while it is boiling, read prayers over it. Rice cannot be tasted. When it's cooked, add ghee, black sesame seeds (you can use poppy seeds, cumin or other black spice), some salt and sugar. Let the rice cool.
- Then shape the rice into balls the size of a walnut and place them on a clean plate, which should be placed 15-20 minutes in front of the picture of God.
- Offer food to God.
Here are the prayer options:
- Prayer for offering food in the Christian tradition:
"Lord Jesus Christ, our God, bless us food and drink with prayers. Pure Thy Mother and all Thy Saints, for you are blessed forever. Amen."... (And cross the food 3 times).
- Vedic mantra for offering food:
"Namo Om Vishnu padaya
Krishna prestaya bhutale
Srimate Bhaktivedanta
Swamin iti namine
Namaste sarasvati deve
Gaura Vani pracarine
Nirvisesa-shunyavadi
Paschaya desha tarine
Nama maha vadanyaya
Krishna prema pradaya te
Krishnaya krishna chaitanya
Namne gaura-tvishe namah
Namo brahmanya devaya
Go-brahmanya-hitaya cha
Jagad Dhitaya Krishnaya
Govindaya namo namah. "
Wait 15-20 minutes for the Lord to sanctify your food.
- Then place the rice balls on another new plate to offer to the Ancestors. Put it in a different place, light a candle and say: "I invite members of a kind to come and take this food."... At the same time, it is advisable for you to stay in the room and for 20-30 minutes just sit and pray in your spiritual tradition.
- Then thank your genus: "I thank you for accepting this food. I want to thank you for my life! I am part of you! I want to express my respect and reverence by asking your blessings and asking for help (tell me what you are asking for). Let these prayers express our gratitude and respect! " Then bow. Let your appeal to the ancestors express your gratitude and respect!
- Attention! Then, before sunset, you need to feed the fish or black crows with these rice balls. Cooked food must not be eaten by living people and also must not be thrown away.
This concludes the practice.
Important notes:
- Make your practice as focused as possible!
- On critical days, practice cannot be done.
- The practice is very powerful if it is done by several women of the Family, for example, you and your mother or sister or daughter.
- You can cook a little rice, or you can cook the whole pack. The more you feed the animals, the better.
- Pregnant women can do this practice.
- Please remember you are a woman - a mystical creation of God! In your hands the opportunity to create a strong strong family, which will be a reliable rear for you, your children and grandchildren!
This is a deep practice, it is advisable to do it several times. Many of our families have inspired us to become who we already are. Through positive or negative deeds, our families have created our life, just as we are creating it now for ourselves and for those who will come after us!
- Catholic traditions.
The Day of All Lost Faithful in the Roman Catholic Church is celebrated traditionally on November 2, following All Saints Day (November 1). On this day, in many countries of the world, it is customary to go to the cemetery, light candles, decorate graves with greenery and flowers, arrange a common family meal (at home, since eating in cemeteries is strictly prohibited).
- African traditions (the text is abbreviated and I have not tested it in practice).
The souls of the dead in African traditions are called differently. There are various types. Usually, the Aeguns are considered the Spirit of the Ancestor (regardless of whether it is a relative or not, because we may not know who our relatives were in past lives or who we were and where we lived). Aeguns are blood and religious relatives.
In this tradition, there is such a concept as the Shrine of the Ancestors (Spiritual Altar, Corner of the Aeguns).
The procedure for honoring the Ancestors can be represented in the form of four main stages:
- Preparation of the Ancestor Shrine.
- Preparing for veneration.
- The veneration procedure.
- End of the ritual.
Preparing the Ancestor Shrine
First of all, you need to install a table (or other "foundation" of the altar - a shelf, a curbstone, etc.). Cover it with a white cloth. It is recommended to wash it with a little vinegar, then dry it in the sun and cover the altar, sprinkling it with your favorite perfume. Tradition advises to find four stones near the house, clean them with salt, wash them thoroughly and place them in the corners of the altar.
Next, you should place on your altar, or near it (for example, on the wall behind the altar) photographs or portraits of the Ancestors. You can drape the wall behind the altar to make it easier to attach images. It is generally accepted that there should not be any photographs of living people on your altar.
You can place on the altar the objects of worship of those religions, which were followed by your Ancestors (Scriptures, images of Deities, etc.). Place a white candle on the altar. It is recommended to put in a glass candlestick a little earth taken from near the house and a few grains of salt, wipe a white candle with pure vegetable oil from the middle to the top, and then, from the middle to the base, and, having strengthened the candle in the candlestick, place it in front of a glass of clean water. You can add fresh flower petals to the glass.
Ancestor worship requires regularity. You don't have to do this every day. You can make a commitment to honor your Ancestors, for example, once a week. Once you have established the frequency of your rituals, you must strictly adhere to your commitment.
It is necessary to keep your Shrine perfectly clean. Don't let the water you bring to the Ancestors evaporate. Do not allow spoiled food on the altar. Dust regularly from the images of the Ancestors and other items on the altar.
Note:
Even if you do not have the Ancestor Shrine, you still have the opportunity to worship aeguns. By placing a food offering on a plate and dedicating it to the Ancestors, you can be sure the Ancestors will receive the offering. You can spill some water directly on the ground and this will also be accepted by the Aeguns.
Preparing for veneration
Cleansing yourself and the Sacred Space.
Cleansing is a necessary stage in preparation for the worship of the Ancestors. The importance of this stage is due to the fact that, firstly, impurity offends the Spirits, and secondly, it can facilitate the penetration of malevolent Forces.
Identify yourself and pay tribute to the Spirit of the Ancestors: (your name) and (your Ancestors are mentioned, starting with your parents, etc.).
Bless the leaves prepared for fumigation, paying tribute to the Spirit.
Ask for peace, steadiness and wisdom.
Thank you.
Your emotional state should not include negative emotions (anger, hatred, etc.). At any stage of the contacting procedure, from fumigation, etc., you should focus on the activity being performed and the ultimate goal of your actions.
Fumigate the entire room thoroughly. Make sure that the smoke from the incense penetrates every part of the room where the Ancestral Shrine is located. Fumigate yourself, first from the front (from head to toe) and then from the back (from head to toe).
Take a glass of clean water. Add some perfume you use as well as some of your saliva. Say:
"I pay tribute to the Spirit of the Ancestors."
((your name) and (your Ancestors are mentioned, starting from your parents, etc.))
I am (your name) child of (origin).
Bless the water.
Using your left hand, sprinkle this water over the entire room, concentrating on this sanctification of the space. Before sprinkling, give the names of those Ancestors, contact with whom is undesirable, and the reasons for their exclusion from this ritual. If you do not know the names of all your Ancestors, just mention that you are removing from your sacred space the Spirits of all Ancestors who died a violent death, suicides, criminals, alcoholics, drug addicts, etc., and do not allow them to invade this space.
Before the beginning of the ritual and after its completion, it is recommended to take ablution, or at least sprinkle yourself with water from a large bowl, which should be placed near the altar.
The veneration procedure
- Summoning the Ancestors.
V At the beginning of the ceremony, you can ring the bell or shake the maracas. She also advises lighting a candle and, if possible, a vanilla or coconut incense.
Various texts can be used to invoke the Ancestral Spirits. Perhaps some of your Ancestors will want to hear addresses from the Holy Scriptures of their religion (Bible, Koran, Torah, Vedas).
It is appropriate here to make a libation of water. The liquid can be sprayed directly from the mouth onto the Ancestor Shrine, or you can dip your finger into the liquid and let the moisture drip from it to the ground. After the invocation, you should name the names of all your Ancestors known to you (starting from the recently deceased, etc.): (name of the Ancestor), after the name you can add the life achievements of your Ancestor.
By invoking the Ancestors, you not only invite them to your Shrine, but also honor their memory in this way. After the invocation, you can sing songs in honor of the Ancestors (you can use the texts of the Psalms, verses of the Koran, mantras, etc.). You can dance (without crossing your legs).
Now offerings can be made.
- Offerings to the Ancestors.
Ancestor offerings can include any food you eat yourself. Each time you eat, before you eat yourself, you can offer some of the food to the Ancestors by placing it in a plate (often cracked plates are used) on the floor in front of the altar, or directly on the altar (all food offered to the Ancestors must be without salt!) ... Advises placing food in a circle, with a candle and liquid food in the center. She recommends touching the plate to your forehead, heart and crotch and breathing on food.
Offerings also include drinks. When offering drinks, place a few drops on the ground.
Fresh flowers can be used as offerings. When you learn to get in touch with Souls, your Ancestors themselves will tell you about their desires, which, of course, should not be ignored.
Water, candles, and other non-perishable offerings are usually changed once a week (often on Friday or Monday nights).
The traditional Egun offering consists of nine small pieces of coconut with palm oil and guinea pepper on each piece, placed on a small plate around popcorn, dried fish and jutia. Pour honey on top.
- Dialogue with Ancestors.
After making the offering, thank the Ancestors for the blessings you have received. Here, as at any other stage of communication with Souls, you can use either your native language, or the language spoken by the Ancestors.
After summoning the Ancestors, ask if any of them have come and if they have a desire to speak. If the answer is yes, find out the name of the Ancestor, listing them in turn. If the Spirit refuses to answer (and on all other occasions when you lose control of the ceremony), you must end the session, extinguish the candle, and bathe.
Having found out the name, you can start the dialogue. First, ask for blessings in your own language.
Ask about the desires of the Ancestor. He may want you to make an offering (not necessarily food). If you can do it, satisfy the desires of the Spirit immediately. If this is not possible at the moment, but is realistic in the future, promise the Spirit to fulfill the request within a specific time frame.
After that, you can present your pressing problems to the Spirit and ask him for help in solving them. Try to ask questions so that the Spirit can answer yes or no. Keep in mind that not all Ancestors are mature enough to offer good advice. If the Spirit cannot help you, or his advice is objectively impossible to implement, thank him for his help and try to find advice from another Spirit.
Care must be taken when communicating with Spirits. If your sessions are constantly infiltrated by malevolent Spirits, or if you have cases of possession, it is better to stop the sessions of invoking Spirits, and start using your altar simply as a place for reflection, meditation.
- Completion of the ritual.
When you finish sprinkling at the end of the ritual, pay tribute to the wisdom of the Ancestors three times.
Finishing the ceremony of veneration, it is necessary for some time to indulge in reflections on the strength and wisdom of your Ancestors, their life and meaning (you can touch the rosary at this time), after which, thank them for their wisdom.
Then extinguish the candle with your fingers or a special candle extinguisher. Pour the water from the sprinkling bowl away from your home.
Leftover food can be left at the foot of a large tree the next morning. Do not mix leftover offerings with your household waste. Plates, cups, etc. must be cleaned with salt and removed before the next time. You cannot use them, like any other items of the altar, for any other purpose, except for the veneration of the Ancestors. Over the next days, observe your intuition yourself. Ancestors can give you their guidance through them.
- Muslim traditions.
I was looking for information for a long time. All references are only to the worship of Allah. Then I found an article ... Excerpt from it: “There is no doubt that our ancestors were from among the righteous people. It was they who, having converted to Islam, took upon themselves the difficult burden of calling for this religion in our lands and spreading its light. Many historical facts testify to their fear of God, courage and greatness. That is why they have numerous rights over us. We are obliged to follow their example in what corresponds to the purest religion of monotheism and ask for forgiveness from Allah. They achieved greatness and power only because they strictly followed the canons of this religion, adhering to monotheism and the Sunnah. They were far from polytheism and innovation, as well as all that, at least in the distant future, can lead to it. "
One of the most important and great reasons leading to polytheism is the excessive reverence for ancestors. Moreover, this phenomenon was the main reason for the appearance of the very first polytheism on earth.
One of the imams of the Hanafi madhhab - Shukri al-Alyusi (1342) said: " Excessive worship and exaltation of any of the creatures is the greatest reason leading to the worship of idols and the righteous. It was the excessive exaltation of the righteous that became the reason for the worship of the people of Nasr, Sua "u, Yagus and others among the people of the Prophet Nuh (Noah). Christians also began to worship" Isa (Jesus) for this very reason.". See" Masail Jahiliya "pp. 71-72."
But I didn't stop there. Really not revered ??? I have friends in the Muslim faith, and they gave me the answer: " In the Muslim faith, they serve sadaka (alms) and pray for the souls of the departed. "
So, wherever you look, in any tradition, apparently in the subconscious of a person, this ancestral memory still lies ... It's time for us, Ivan, who do not remember kinship, learn to pay this tribute of reverence, and when that in our hour they will remember us too, and we we will also help our family on a completely different level of consciousness ...
I wish peace, prosperity and goodness to your family !!! With love!!!
Rites of remembrance of ancestors in the spring go back to the ancient Slavic ideas that with the spring awakening of nature, deceased ancestors also wake up from winter sleep, and return to the places where they lived before to see living relatives and their descendants. 
According to the beliefs of our ancestors, on these spring days, returning from heavenly Iriya, the souls of our ancestors invisibly participate in the festivities along with the living.
Corinth A.A. - the author of the remarkable work "Narodnaya Rus", first published in 1901, argued that the custom of "Shouting out to parents" was observed in peasant families who honor grandfather's covenants back in the 30s-40s of the 19th century. And the expeditions of the Folklore and Ethnographic Center of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and the St. Petersburg Conservatory (1999) confirmed that he is still alive in the Leningrad, Pskov and Novgorod regions.
Surprisingly, at times the ruling monarchs and church patriarchs tried to prohibit this ancient folk custom of venerating ancestors. For example, Ivan the Terrible forbade "to call out to the ancestors".
Nevertheless, having survived the times of "illegality", the ceremony did not sink into oblivion, it was carefully preserved in the remote places of Mother Russia. Among the people today, it is considered the duty of every Orthodox person to “take Christ” with the dead and share with them a festive meal.
To honor ancestors means to preserve the people's memory and pass it on to descendants. Do you agree?
Since ancient times, in the morning dawn, early-early, women from newly married young people to the most ancient old women gathered, and went to the graves of relatives (or to the churchyard) to lament and voice over them.
“Our dear fathers and mothers! Somehow we, dear ones, have angered you, that there is no greetings from you, no joy, no parental trick?
Already you, the sun, the sun is clear! You ascend, ascend from midnight, you illuminate all the graves with a joyful light, so that our dead people do not sit in darkness, do not grieve with misfortune, do not live with longing ... ".
Of course, in different localities at different times had their own characteristics of "calling out". So, on the territory of the present Ramensky district of the Moscow region, they have long come with lamentations for their parents to the cherished stone - a huge gray lump. In the northwest, the ancestors' "hooting" was adopted, connected with the arrival of the cuckoos: "They cheer long when the cuckoo cuckoo ...".
Somewhere, only elderly women and old women were supposed to "call out" the dead, somewhere it was allowed to "hum" and maidens - according to fathers, wives - according to husbands ... Daughters said: "I pagukay svaigo tatukhnu! ..", wives: “Come on, I’m pogoing gaspadarechka, svaygo dummy!”.
“Our dear priests! ... And you, our dear ones, get up, wake up, look at us, at your children, how we grieve in this world of grief. Without you, our dear ones, the tall tower has become empty, the wide courtyard has decayed; without you, dear ones, azure flowers do not bloom in a wide field, oaks do not grow red in oak trees. Oh, you, our dear ones, look out at us, orphans, from your houses and amuse them with an affectionate word ... ".
The one who calls out not only remembers the dead, but at the same time communicates with the elements of nature. In ancient archaic habits, we also meet appeals to the elements of nature: the Sun, the Moon, the Winds, the Earth, so that they help communicate with the deceased, who at this moment must come to life, see and talk with the newcomer.
"... And make way, Mother Earth, cheese ...
Come out, come out
Talk to me, little orphan ... "(Okulovsky district)
The souls of ancestors were invited to treat themselves alive, to have a meal:
"And I will set the oak tables,
I'll cover the abusive tablecloths,
I will make different dishes:
The first meal I am a raspberry
The second dish is Kalinushka. "
Even ahead of the holiday, the women baked pies, wheat pancakes, pancakes, kokurki, Easter cakes, pumice pancakes, honey gingerbread, cookies, cooked millet and noodle makers, fried yaeshnya (scrambled eggs), cooked porridge, cooked jelly, satu. At the same time, the number of dishes had to be odd. Clean linen tablecloths were laid out at the burial places of the ancestors, and treats were arranged. When the dishes have been arranged, the commemorationists call out the souls of the deceased by name and solemnly ask them to come and take a treat, eat and drink with their living relatives. "Holy parents, come to us to eat bread and salt."
In Russia, cemeteries became such places for funeral meals, and earlier they were burial mounds and sacred groves-oak groves. During the meal, they remembered the good deeds and the life of the deceased. The deceased relatives were believed to be glad that the living came to them. The young asked for a blessing from their departed ancestors, the elderly for forgiveness.
The celebration continued at home with the family.
Once upon a time, these "calls" initially had magical functions. Over time, the magical meaning of the words was lost, forgotten. But it retained its original function: preserving a living connection with the Ancestors, honoring them, preserving ancestral memory, rotating the eternal life circle.
In the Russian village they said: "Do not treat the late parent with honor and honor about Radonitsa - no one in the next world will remember, treat, please". They believed that if not to honor, not to remember the ancestors on Radunitsa, then angry "parents" for disrespecting their memory could send on such descendants numerous troubles, misfortunes, misfortunes, diseases, cattle deaths, fire and the like.
Therefore, not only on Radunitsa, but throughout Fomin's week, many housewives left food on the table for the night, so that "the dead who were hungry for the winter" would dine if they suddenly looked into the house of their relatives.
Everything about religion and faith - "prayer for ancestors in Orthodoxy" with detailed descriptions and photographs.
The family tree in Orthodoxy occupies a special place. It is believed that the fate of each person depends on the lifestyle of his ancestors. Our long-dead ancestors have a strong influence on what happens to each of us. So, if there were sinners in the family who, for whatever reason, did not repent of their misdeeds, then the descendants up to the twelfth generation will definitely have to answer for this. In order to cleanse yourself from the sins of your ancestors and deliver yourself and your relatives from the ancestral curse, you need to read a prayer for the whole family. In addition, it should be remembered that all your own actions will affect the fate of descendants and someone will definitely have to pay for your sins.
Orthodox prayers for sins and cleansing of a kind
When reading Orthodox prayers, the action of which is aimed at cleansing his own kind and getting rid of sins, a praying person can fill his life with positive and improve karma. By the power of Orthodox prayer, you can remove external damage and ancestral curse.
Prayer for the health of living loved ones and relatives
Relatives play a huge role in the life of every person. It is important for us to communicate with them, their understanding and support. We all love our parents, brothers and sisters and always strive to protect them. Health is very important to life's well-being. Therefore, taking care of your relatives, you need to read prayers for their health. With their help, you can protect loved ones from negativity and preserve their health, even when you are not around.
There is a very powerful Orthodox prayer that should be recited every morning. But other than that, there are no restrictions on reading it. Therefore, you can exalt it at any time when such a need arises in your soul.

It is also important not only to pray for the departed family, but also to remember their closest departed relatives. This can be done not only on the allotted special days, but also at any time when a spiritual need arises for this. Prayers for the departed are also provided for in the morning and evening canons.
Why is it so important to read prayers for your kind
A person who constantly faces difficulties and hardships in life should think about whether this is due to the sins of their ancestors, who were not prayed for by anyone and, as a result, were forgiven by the Almighty. That is why we work off the sins that our ancestors committed, meeting endless obstacles on the way to the goal. But it is even more dangerous if you have to pay for the sins of previous generations with your own health or the health of your children. Therefore, praying for your kind is very important.
Prayer for the race allows you to cleanse the aura and get rid of:
- From very strong phobias and far-fetched fears that turn life into hell;
- From constant fatigue, apathy and depression, which can seriously harm your health;
- From alcohol or drug addiction, which often accompanies people during periods of bad luck and failure;
- From infertility, which often leads to the rupture of family relationships;
- From loneliness, which is expressed in the fact that a person, despite all efforts, fails to create a family;
- From negativity, which is manifested by aggression, anger and hatred towards everything in the world around you;
- From the appearance of thoughts that are unusual for a balanced person, for example, from the desire to commit suicide.
Orthodox prayers for the clan help all, without exception, members of the clan in various fields. In general, such prayer addresses restore the natural strength of the clan. This means that with the help of prayers, people can improve the destinies of future generations. Prayers for the race are pleasing to God, therefore they are considered a powerful spiritual practice.
Is it true that the power of prayer protects the clan up to the seventh generation
If descendants have to pay for the sins of their ancestors up to the twelfth generation, then one can cleanse oneself with the help of prayer up to the seventh generation. This means that it is not always possible to get rid of the ancestral curse forever, but it is possible to protect your immediate descendants.
It should be understood that if you suspect a family curse, then the prayer for the family must be read. This will make it possible to change for the better not only your life, but also the life of your immediate descendants.
For prayer to be effective, you must definitely attend a service in the temple. This will give you peace of mind. After the service, you should stay in the church and be sure to pray alone for the repose of the souls of your ancestors and light candles for the repose of the departed.
After visiting the church at home, retiring in a separate room, you should perform a prayer ceremony for the remission of sins. It is recommended to read such a rite for 40 days in a row. It involves reading three prayers. The prayer ceremony begins with the reading of the well-known prayer "Our Father".
After that, the following prayer is offered:
After such a prayer, you need to read a prayer of thanks. It is allowed to express gratitude in your own words in any form to all the Higher Powers who pray before the Lord for the forgiveness of sins to your entire family. After 40 days, the clan is cleansed from the sins of their ancestors. In addition, in this way, you can get rid of damage to your home and family.
Prayer for ancestors in Orthodoxy
The most powerful prayer for the whole family?
Prayer for the Purification of the Family Tree Prayer for the removal of the family curse (read 40 days in a row, without interruption).
The prayer service consists of two parts, one of which is aimed at removing the ancestral curse, the second allows you to fill the free inner space of the karma of the clan, which was formed as a result of the transmutation of involutionary programs, with the energies of abundance and prosperity. The minimum period of work with each part of the prayer service is 40 days, for exactly 40 days is the time of existence of demonic entities, vampires and possessors, deforming both the individual and the karma of the clan, in the event that they do not receive additional energy from the activity of the lower The “I” of the embodied personality and her closest karmic environment. There is no maximum term of service, it is determined only by the striving for this type of spiritual work of our individual Divine Soul and its willingness to take responsibility for the evolutionary fate of its own.

Prayer for the Harmonization of the Kin, Prayer for the cleansing of the Mother and Father Kin.
Our lives are influenced by relatives up to the 12th knee. The family tree consists of the living and the dead. The living are in the material world, and the location of the departed is divided into two categories:
their souls have passed to the Higher planes of being; their souls are frozen in the subtle world, in the tax-collector zones.
The tax zones are the territory of karma. This includes those who have died outside the term, as well as the souls of those who during their lifetime suffered from addictions and had an unhealthy addiction to the material world. They do not realize that they are dead. Such souls remain without divine light and love, they are hungry, since they have nothing to eat, therefore, the only way out is to consume the energy of living relatives.
The only way to get rid of such "vampires" and, thereby, give them the opportunity to move from the tax-collector zone to the Higher planes of being is.
I turn to You, Heavenly Father, and I want to pray for myself and for my generation.
I want the closest people, my children, grandchildren and all future generations to be happy and healthy. So that they feel the power of their kind.
I appeal to You, Lord, for I know that a Clan is considered strong when the roots of its clan tree are strong - when 7 generations in a clan are strong ... (I speak for all generations in general)
And now I turn to you, my great-great-great-grandparents and I want to pray for you and ask YOU for forgiveness.
Forgive me dear ones. Forgive me.
Forgive me that I know so little about you, about my family, that I do not bear the traditions of the family and ... truly thank you for standing at the origins of my family.
I sincerely repent, sorry ……….
And if you can come to my aid. I want to repent for everyone who lives next to me, my relatives.
I understand how great my responsibility is, but I take it upon myself. I pray for my whole family.
PRAYER FOR THE BIRTH OF HIS KIND
Remember, Lord, all my deceased generation; all, like from our forefather Adam, the departed ancestors, forefathers, forefathers, foremothers and all from time immemorial to the present who have reposed my relatives according to the flesh, their names are in all your weight, and weaken, leave, have mercy and forgive them all their sins, free and not free and grant them the Kingdom of Heaven.

What is prayer? Prayer is a tool. Our Ancestors praised the Gods, but they did not ask for anything. We studied GLORY-words, so we are Slavs. Glorification is the creation of special vibrations, because the language is given to us in order to glorify, that is, to WORDS the resonance of attunement with the Gods (a certain energy) with the help of words. Prayer is a vibrational series associated with a certain hypostasis: either we turn to a specific God who controls specific elements, or to one of his manifestations - protection, help, support. This is a technique of attunement with certain vibrations. When we are attuned with this vibration, we appropriate this Power to ourselves for our evolution. When a person believes, when he has an inner conviction.
Prayers for the clan help cleanse all members of the clan from gravity and disease, restore the strength of the clan, improve the fate of future generations and relieve the souls of already deceased members of the clan. Prayers for the lineage are very pleasing to God and are a very powerful spiritual practice.

How to atone for the sins of a kind
It is possible and necessary to atone for sins of a kind. In Tsarist Russia, all peasant families had many children, and the youngest son was given to a monk to atone for the sins of the family. In the old days, people still felt the law of fate in the family, so they tried to intermarry only with the family in which there were no suicides, drunkards, madmen, fornicators, moral monsters, and childlessness (a bad sign - the doom of the family). In principle, the redemption of moral laws in a family is still noticeable: it is clear that women in a family, for example, always become single mothers, or men in a family go to prison, and so on. The most obvious sign that a family is doomed due to sins is childlessness. Is it possible to beg for the sins of the clan! You can beg for everything, but for this you need to understand what kind of sins are in the family, and how they are corrected. Currently, no one understands this better than Sergei Lazarev. Read his book "Diagnosis of Karma".

Prayers traditionally used in Parastas
He who lives with the help of the Most High, will settle himself under the roof of the Heavenly God. He will say to the Lord: "You are my protector and my refuge, my God, I trust in You." He will deliver you from the net of fishermen and from the rebellious word. He will protect you with His shoulders, and under His wings you will be safe. His truth will shield you with a shield. Thou shalt not fear the terror of the night, the arrow that flies during the day, the ulcer that walks in the darkness, the plague that devastates at noon. A thousand will fall beside you, and ten thousand to your right will not come close to you. Only you will look with your eyes and you will see the reward for sinners. For you said, "The Lord is my hope." You have chosen the Highest as your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and the plague will not come near your dwelling, for He commanded His angels to keep you in all your ways. They will take you into their arms so that you do not stumble with your foot on a stone. You will step on the asp and the basilisk, and you will trample the lion and the serpent. “Since he trusted in Me, I will deliver him, I will cover him, for he has known My name. I am with him in sorrow: he will call on Me - and I will hear him, I will deliver him and glorify him, I will satisfy him with long days and show him My salvation. ”
Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy and according to the multitude of Thy compassions, cleanse my iniquity. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin, for I acknowledge my iniquity, and my sin is always before me. To You alone, I have sinned and done evil in front of You, so that You will be righteous in Your judgment, and you will prevail when You judge. For behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and in sins my mother gave birth to me. But you loved the truth: You have revealed the unknown and secret of Your wisdom to me. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed, wash me, and I will become whiter than snow. Deliver joy and joy to my hearing, and the humble bones will rejoice. Turn Thy face away from my sins, and cleanse my iniquities. Create a clean heart in me, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Return to me the joy of Thy salvation and confirm me with the Spirit of the Sovereign. I will teach the wicked your ways, and the wicked will turn to you.
Deliver me from the (shedding of) blood, O God, God of my salvation! And my tongue will joyfully praise your truth. God! Open my mouth, and they will declare your praise. If you wanted a sacrifice, I would give, (but) you are not pleased with a burnt offering. A sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a contrite and humble heart. Bless, O Lord, according to Thy good pleasure Zion, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then you will be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and burnt offering, then they will lay calves on Your altar.
I believe in one God, the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only Begotten, Who was born of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, God, true from God, true, born, uncreated, consubstantial with the Father, Who was all. For us, for the sake of man and for our salvation, he descended from heaven and incarnated from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became human. Crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried. And he rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. And he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
And packs of the coming with glory to judge the living and the dead, His Kingdom will have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord Life-giving, from the Father proceeding, Alike with the Father and the Son, we are worshiped and glorified, who spoke the prophets. In one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I tea the resurrection of the dead and the life of the century to come. Amen.
These prayers must be read for each member of your family in a specific sequence. You need to start with yourself. Then you read for the mother, then for the father. Moving on to the third generation, you read for the maternal grandmother and grandfather, then for the paternal grandmother and grandfather. Working with the fourth knee, you begin to read for the great-grandmother and for the great-grandfather - the parents of the grandmother, then - for the great-grandmother and great-grandfather - the parents of the grandfather (this is work with ancestors in the female line). In the same way, you work with ancestors in the male line: first you read prayers for your great-grandmother and great-grandfather - the grandmother's parents, then for the great-grandmother and great-grandfather - the grandfather's parents. Etc.
PRAYER FOR THE BLOWING OUT OF THE SINS OF ANCESTORS AND RELATIVES
Lord, I pray to You for all those who have departed and are living, for they and we, sinners, willingly and unwittingly, grieved, offended, or were tempted by word, deed, thought, knowledge or ignorance of you.
Lord God! Forgive us and them our sins, mutual insults; Eradicate, Lord, from our hearts all resentment, suspicion, anger, memory malice, quarrels and all that can hinder love and diminish brotherly love.
Have mercy, Lord, on everyone who asks for Your help.
God! Make this day a day of Thy mercy. Give each one at his request, be a shepherd of the lost, lead the ignorant to the light of God, be a mentor, a doctor for the sick, a comforter of the dying, and lead us all to the light of knowledge, forgiveness, repentance and sincere love for You and blissful tranquility. Forgive, Lord, the sins of all those who previously departed in the faith and hope of the Resurrection, our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters, and make them an eternal memory.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us! (3 times)
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen.
There is one more prayer to atone for the sins of the family. For these purposes, they read it 2 times a year.
This is a very rare prayer, which is written on the porch of the Temple of the Archangel Michael of the Chudovy Monastery (Kremlin, 1906.)
Write on a piece of paper the names of all your loved ones (children, parents, husband, wife) and name them all where (name) is written.
If you pray for the sins of the family, then 2 times a year - from September 18 to September 19 (the holiday of the Archangel Michael) and from November 20 to November 21 (Mikhailov day) you need to pray for the dead - calling everyone by name ( and at the same time add the phrase “and all relatives in the flesh up to the tribe of Adam.” This is done at 12 o'clock in the morning. Thus, the sins of your kind are atonement.
Oh, Lord God the Great, King Without Beginning, send, Lord, Your Archangel Michael to the aid of your servant (name), take me away from my enemies, visible and invisible! O Lord Archangel Michael, pour out myrrh of moisture on your servant (name). O Lord Michael Archangel, demons destroyer! Forbid all enemies Fighting with me, create them like sheep and crush them, like dust before the wind. Oh, the great Lord Michael the Archangel, the six-winged first prince and governor of weightless forces, Cherubim and Seraphim! O Lord, pleasing Michael the Archangel! Be my help in everything: in grievances, in sorrows, in sorrows, in deserts, on roadsteads, on rivers and seas, a quiet haven! Deliver, Michael the Archangel, from all delights of the devil, when you hear me, your sinful servant (name), praying to you and calling your holy name, speed up to my help, and hear my prayer, O Great Archangel Michael! Lead all those who oppose me by the power of the honest life-giving cross of the Lord, the prayers of the Most Holy Theotokos and the Holy Apostles, and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, St. Andrew the Fool and the Holy Prophet Elijah, and the Holy Great Martyrs Nikita and Eustathius, the Venerable Father of all saints and martyrs and martyrs. Amen.
