It is customary to address the image of the Savior with prayers for guidance on the true path, for the salvation of the soul (if you repent of your sins), deliverance from bad thoughts and miraculous healing.

The "not made by hands" image was not written by a human hand. They say that this happened during the earthly life of the Savior. The ruler of the city of Edessa, Prince Avgar, was seriously ill. Hearing about the countless healings that Jesus Christ performed, Abgar wanted to look at the Savior. He sent a painter to paint the face of Christ.

However, the artist was unable to fulfill the assignment. Such a radiance emanated from the face of the Lord that the master's brush could not convey His Light. Then the Lord, having washed, wiped His most pure face with a towel, and His Image was miraculously displayed on it. Having received the Image, Avgar was healed of his illness.

Once in a dream an elder appeared to him and ordered him to go to the city of Serpukhov, to the monastery of the Lady of the Theotokos, where the icon of the Mother of God "Inexhaustible Chalice" is located, and to serve a prayer service in front of her.

Without money, not owning his legs, the peasant did not dare to hit the road. But the holy elder appeared to him a second, and then a third time and menacingly ordered him to fulfill the command. The retired soldier went on all fours to the monastery. In one village he stopped to rest. To relieve the pain, the old hostess rubbed his legs and laid him on the stove. The next day he felt better. Leaning first on two, then on one stick, he reached Serpukhov.

Arriving at the monastery and telling about his dreams, the sufferer asked for a prayer service. But no one in the monastery knew the icon of the Mother of God with such a name. Then they thought: is this the icon that hangs in the aisle of the church to the sacristy? On the reverse side of it they really saw the inscription: "Inexhaustible Chalice".

In Christianity, it is believed that all our life our personal Guardian Angel is invisibly present next to us, praying to the Lord for us, and after our death will justify us before God.

Guardian angel

According to Orthodox and Catholic beliefs, a guardian angel is invisibly with a person throughout his life, if a person retains love for God and fear of him. The task of the guardian angel is to help save the ward. In particular, guardian angels spiritually instruct Christians in faith and piety, guard their souls and bodies, intercede for them during their earthly life, pray to God for them, do not leave them, finally, after death and take the souls of those who have finished earthly life into eternity. ...

There are also individual saints whom we pray to on special occasions, each of them received a certain gift from the Lord for his earthly work, and now the Lord works any miracles by their prayer for us. The Savior honored them all with the honor in various needs to be intercessors for us before God. These saints either themselves suffered a similar need or illness, or others received healing and help through them. Each of these saints, to whom they pray for certain help, has something to do with this area.

From biographies saints We know that the grounds for a special prayer appeal to a saint are formed in different ways: some of the saints personally asked the Lord for the gift of helping people in specific life circumstances. Others had a revelation sent by God (for example, in a dream), in which it was reported that they were given the gift of getting rid of such and such a need, and after that the saints began to help everyone who came to them. Trust in some saints was formed on the basis of the "rumor of the people" that created historical legends about them, and on the help coming from the saints.

There are also patron saints of a certain type of activity.... And now, when new professions appear more and more often, many of them do not have their heavenly patron, sooner or later the question still arises of which saint to pray for success in the newly emerging areas. How is the patron saint of new professions determined? Here it is appropriate to quote the words of Archpriest Father Vsevolod Chaplin, Deputy Chairman of the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate:

“The patron saint of professions is chosen according to the deeds of the saint. This tradition has existed since ancient Christian times. The Church specifically blesses to consider this or that saint as a patron in business. Now it is usually announced by the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia. Most recently, Alexy II blessed the miners and all mining workers to address the holy Great Martyr Barbara. But there is no list or "schedule" with what frequency and for which professions (narrow specializations or entire industries) to appoint a patron saint.

If a patron has not yet been determined for your profession, you yourself can read the lives of the saints and find the one whose deeds are related to your profession. For example, officially patron of the internet not announced, but as a result of discussions, Internet users themselves chose who John the Evangelist, who - Zlatoust.

It's even better if this saint is your local. For example, there was a great martyr in your land who healed people with herbs, and you are a doctor - you pray to him. "

Hope expresses the idea of ​​surrendering oneself to God, the emotional experience of being in the hands of God and being convinced of the justice and mercy of God. They resorted to the intercession of the martyrs in cases of special need and sorrow.

Holy Martyr Natalia

The Holy Martyr Natalia lived at the beginning of the 4th century in Nicomedia. Natalia was a secret Christian, and her young husband Adrian professed paganism. During the persecution of Christians, impressed by the wondrous patience of the Christian martyrs, Adrian believed in Christ. Openly declaring his new faith, he accepted the martyr's crown. During the torture, Natalia encouraged her husband's faith by telling him about the eternal life that awaited him. With her mental suffering, Saint Natalia also deserved a martyr's crown and soon died at the grave of her husband. They pray to the holy martyrs for happiness in marriage, for patronage of the family hearth.

Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker

This is the most revered saint in the world. Nicholas the Wonderworker became famous as the defender of the unjustly offended and the patron saint of all who are on the way - fishermen, pilots, seafarers, travelers. He also patronizes women, children, beggars, innocent convicts and animals. The Wonderworker is especially revered in the Russian North.

Those who are often on the road or have a profession related to transport must certainly have this image at home and visit the temples that bear its name.

Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Tsar Constantine and Tsarina Helena

The Holy Emperor Constantine contributed to one of the most important discoveries in the history of Christianity - with his help the Cross was found, on which the Lord Jesus Christ was crucified. They also pray to the saint for the protection of the Orthodox faith from heresies and schisms, since he himself participated in the First Ecumenical Council, which condemned the destructive Arian heresy. It was at the suggestion of Saint Constantine that the definition of "Consubstantial with the Father" in relation to Jesus Christ was introduced into the Symbol of Faith. Missionaries, priests, politicians, military leaders, diplomats can pray to Saints Constantine and Helen. In addition, prayer helps to gain material well-being.

Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Nina

Saint Nina Equal to the Apostles - Enlightener of Georgia. As a young girl, Saint Nina, after listening to her mentor's stories about Iberia (Georgia), was fired up with the desire to enlighten this country, and having been honored with the vision of the Mother of God, she became even more strengthened in her decision to serve as apostle. The sermon about Christ, the miracles performed by Saint Nina, and her virtuous life created the impossible. Gradually, almost all of Iberia adopted Christianity. For her holy life and apostolic labors, the Georgian Orthodox Church named Saint Nina Equal to the Apostles. Christians turn to her in prayers for intercession, strengthening faith, for healing from many ailments and misfortunes. Saint Nina is the patroness of teachers.

Saint Panteleimon

The whole Christian world turns to the holy great martyr and healer with prayers for healing from diseases. The great martyr lived in Asia Minor at the beginning of the 4th century. Having studied the art of medicine, Pantoleon (a worldly name) achieved such success that he attracted the attention of the emperor Maximian, who wished to make him the chief court physician. The Lord gave him the gift to heal ailments, and soon people abandoned the rest of the doctors and began to turn only to him. The envious people reported to the emperor that Pantoleon confessed Christ, and the saint was betrayed for torture. When Maximian ordered to cut off the young man's head, the sword bent like grass, and everyone heard a voice from heaven, calling the martyr a new name - Panteleimon (in Greek - "all-merciful"). Then the saint himself ordered the soldiers to cut off his own head, and at the same time a new miracle happened: instead of blood, milk flowed out, and the olive tree, to which the holy martyr was tied, was filled with healing fruits.

The image of St. Panteleimon, as a rule, is present in the home iconostasis along with the images of the Trinity, the Savior and the Mother of God.

Saint Paraskeva Friday

Saint Paraskeva Friday is the patroness of trade and weaving, and, accordingly, the patroness of needlework and needlewomen. The icons of the holy martyr protect family well-being and happiness. They pray to Saint Paraskeva Friday for worthy suitors, in infertility, for the health of babies, in serious illnesses.

Saint Reverend Seraphim of Sarov

The great Russian saint Reverend Seraphim of Sarov was rewarded by the Lord with the gift of clairvoyance and healing for his ascetic exploits. Human hearts were open to him, just as the past and the future were open. The advice given by the monk elder sometimes caused bewilderment and seemed strange, but everyone who followed the instructions exactly could be convinced that this advice was the only true and saving one. Through the prayers of the Monk Seraphim of Sarov, numerous signs and healings are performed at his grave. Before his icon, they turn to the saint for help in mental and physical healing, for diseases of internal organs, for diseases of the legs, and they also pray in sorrow.

Saint Reverend Sergius of Radonezh

Saint Reverend Sergius of Radonezh by prayer to him will protect you from any life problems. The saint is asked to protect children from bad influence, from failures in school. Prayers in front of the icon of the saint, who himself was a model of humility, help in finding humility and taming pride - both our own and someone else's - since pride is known as evil, from which many troubles occur in our life and those around us.

In the end, I would like to say that it is important to remember that when we pray in front of an icon to a saint, we must direct our thoughts to the Lord, the Giver of all blessings, since prayer for us will be a saint, and its fulfillment will follow from God.

We pray to the Savior, the Most Holy Theotokos and the saints in front of their icons in order to find peace in our souls, to feel protection and support. And through our sincere prayer we receive help in this or that need.

May the Savior, the Most Holy Theotokos and the saints hear your prayers and help you, and may your Guardian Angel and Heavenly Patron be always your faithful intercessors.

The 1st century AD began. Anna and Joachim lived in Nazareth of Galilee for fifty years. The happy spouses were saddened by only one thing: the Lord has not yet given them a child. Once the high priest even denied Joachim the right to bring sacred sacrifices to God because of the childlessness of the family. Desperate, the man retired into the desert to be alone with his grief. Then the incredible happened: an Angel appeared and said that soon his middle-aged wife would give birth to a daughter. After a while, Mary, the future Mother of God, was born. Women who are wondering which icon to pray in order to get pregnant should first of all turn to Saints Anna and Joachim - the parents of the mother of Christ. To whom else is it possible to send children?

Who to pray to get pregnant

Turning to the Lord becomes a powerful means of achieving a dream only if a woman's thoughts are pure. Turn to the saints with all sincerity and cast aside sinful doubts.

Turn to the Higher Powers with a prayer for pregnancy in front of the icon of St. Anne and Joachim. They did not expect to become parents, especially a child so important for the Creator. The Lord knows best when and what is going to happen. Perhaps your future children will play an important role in the divine plan.

Pray to the Virgin Mary herself. No one better understands an inconsolable woman who wants to become a mother other than the one who nurtured the Son of God. This is a powerful prayer to get pregnant soon. Offer up the petition to the icon of the Mother of God "Unexpected Joy". It depicts a sinner begging for forgiveness. The revived images of the Mother of God and the Divine Infant with opened ulcers plunged him into awe. Three times the Mother of God asked for the forgiveness of this man before her Son. He respected the Parent and forgave the sins of the unfortunate.

Prayer for pregnancy and conception is the strongest

The birth of a child is a godly deed. It is necessary to make such a request only if the woman really wants to become a mother. Do not pray for the sending of children if you want to keep a man in this way or make your girlfriends envy. The Lord punishes for thoughts of this kind. The most powerful is that prayer, which is accompanied by an ardent desire to find the happiness of motherhood.
