Then all extracted particles are sent to the Bowl of the Savior. Special prayer is pronounced above, asking for laundering the preggie of each coming person.

Every time, in the process of liturgy on the altar, a bloodless sacrifice (the symbol of the victim of Jesus for the sins of all mankind), people who participated in this sacred action bring themselves great spiritual benefit.
Newcomers in the Christian religion may well wonder where the number of "40 days" to read the forty-store. Why didn't you take any other time segment? And this question has an answer if you turn to the book of all times - the Bible. In it, 40 terrestrial days - are considered a very symbolic temporary segment, according to Christian worldview:
- As the gospel says, Jesus for 40 days was in the desert, where he held the post and read prayers;
- 40-day prayer wards were committed by many other saints;
- According to the Christian faith, when a person is dying, it is precisely 40 of his soul that is determined by either another place.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the number 40 is often used in the church, and the prayer of the forty for forty days has a deep symbolic meaning.
Important moment. Sorokoust about health is designed not to just improve the physical condition of the person, but also take care of his eternal soul. It must be remembered about the spiritual benefit of this action.

What is meant when "concern about the soul" says? This includes getting rid of the gentlemen, the desire of a person to live an await life, resistance to its low-lying passions. And if the believer will not work hard to work hard - he cannot be helped by any pliers and offerings.
Correct order of Sorokoust about health
First of all, pay your attention to the fact that the temple does not conduct divine liturgies every day. They are held on the days specifically reserved for this. So, for example, you will not be able to order a forty-head of health on weekdays. And in the churches in which the Divine Liturgy performs on concrete days, the process of reading a forty-store about health is often tightened for a couple of months.
A common excitement of submitting parishioners appears when a priest begins to pronounce the names of people who should pray. People are worried that they do not forget about their loved ones, ignoring his name.
Here it is worth listening to the recommendations of the Holy Fathers who spend not to embarrass their restless mind similar thoughts during prayers. The Lord is well known, about whom was laid at a fortyst of health, so you can not worry about this. Even if suddenly the purely chance of the right name and will not say - this does not mean that God does not take a bloodless sacrifice.
Sorokoust about health is not the only prayer for the healing of patients. You can also seek help from a nonpressible psalm. The difference between the latest and forty-dock about the health is that the psalter is usually read in the holy monastery of monks. After all, it is important for it to comply with certain conditions, for example, so that the monks are exactly as much as necessary and no one, since this prayer should be pronounced without interruptions.
If you do not know which of the two options to stop your choice, then just remember that there is no such concept as more "strong" or "weak" prayer. It fills it with certain qualities, a strong belief of a person who prays.
Let us now find out how can I order a forty-head about health at the temple? To do this, you need a candle shop, the seller of which should find out the features of the worship services of this particular place. Then take a paper sheet, in its top sign "about health", and then list the names of all those who should pray for the service.
It is usually allowed in one sheet to denote names no more than ten people. To record names, a genitive case is used. For example, the note of the Sortoist on the health will have this kind:
"About health"
- Tatiana;
- Leonid;
- Irina;
- Alexandra and Sprouts.
It will be necessary to make a cash donation for all the names that will go on the maintenance of the Church. In some temples, they call a fixed amount, and in other donation size is fully produced and depends only on the desire of the parishioner.
For whom you can pray for a zhokoust about health?
The priests are in a hurry to warn that the order of the Rest is permitted solely for those Christians who were baptized in the Orthodox Church. This is explained by the fact that God respectfully refers to the freedom of the will of a person, no one forces to believe with the help of power. And if the suffering did not have the desire to turn to Christianity, then, very high probability that he would not approve the prayers for himself. Based on what, in the church there is a number of rules that respect the will of the ill or the deceased and his choice.
If you do not know what kind of religion is a person, and he himself can not tell you this - ask for him sincere prayer to the Most High in the Church, but do not order a forty-toast to health.
And this prayer can be used for:
- believers of Orthodox Christians;
- those who were baptized;
- Picky.
It should be remembered that it is not necessary to wait for the disease at all in order to order the Divine Liturgy. It is quite possible to do it for a person who is in good health in order to protect him from possible health problems.
Also there are no restrictions on the supply of forty-store about health: it can be ordered when you have a need or desire and no limits in its time framework. By ordering Sorokoust, be sure to write down the name of the suffering that was given to him in the process of baptism, mark his problems that ask to get rid of, or, for example, it may be the rest of the soul.
Most churches advise to supplement the fortiest with appropriate marks, namely:
- About the baby - for the baby, less than 7 years old;
- about the tracker - for a child who is more than 7 years;
- about the warrior - about the serviceman;
- About sick or suffering - for someone who suffers from ailments.
