Troitskaya parent saturday refers to the so-called Ecumenical Parental Saturdays. It falls on the day before the holiday. Holy Trinity and is considered the last day of the Old Testament Church before the opening of the Church of Christ in its entirety on the Day of Pentecost. The establishment of the traditions of this day occurred in apostolic times.
The main of these traditions, as well as on the first Ecumenical parental Saturday (meat-fare), which is celebrated before the meat-fare week, are common all-church memorial services, funeral services, liturgies and the commemoration of all the dead Christians. According to the established custom, after visiting the temple, believers visit the graves of their deceased relatives.
Saturday Trinity is now coming,
She is popularly called the parent.
On this day, we remember our departed ancestors.
After all, they all look at us, cherish.
Light a candle quietly in the window today
And pray for all who are dear and far away.
And then remember them and be quiet for a while.
May the light in your heart not go out.
All our relatives do not forget us,
They look down on foolish children.
Let your heart never forget them
May your thoughts keep them forever.
The ones we love go to heaven
Relatives, loved ones, they will never be returned.
But there are parenting days when we can
Remember all those you loved.
Having visited them, we smile with a sigh.
And we will not drive a shadow from the heart of light sadness.
Let those who are not around hear us
On parental, a special day for us.
On Trinity parental Saturday, let everyone remember the souls of our fathers and forefathers, sisters and brothers who left this world. Let candles burn brightly in memory of relatives, let prayers sound sincerely, let their souls be cleansed of all earthly sins, let our memory always honor and cherish the memories of loved ones.
Trinity Saturday has come to us,
Let's remember those who can't be returned!
They are like the rays of the sun
Light up our lives!
Let's quietly remember our loved ones,
Let's pray for the souls, their peace!
And we ourselves will become a little cleaner
Thanks to a prayer so simple!
Before Trinity, Saturday
To our relatives and friends,
that are gone irrevocably
Let's give back our memory.
On this day we are on the graveyard
Let's remember relatives.
How difficult it is for us without them!
And involuntarily we cry.
Sleep, dear ones.
Your bright spirit has not faded away.
You are alive in our souls
We will always remember you
Today, relatives are waiting for a memorial,
Those who have gone to a wonderful world.
Prayer on Trinity Saturday -
For them, a landmark is on the way.
I ask you to remember the good
About what they did
You remember your loved ones
May your days be bright.
Happy Holy Trinity Saturday!
For those who have already found peace
Today we will light candles
With light sadness we will remember them
And out loud and in our hearts we
Let's sing psalms for them now!
On Parents' Saturday
We will remember all the dead
That left us in the world of happiness,
Throwing off the burden of this life.
Let the candle burn without smoldering
Even light at the icon.
Remember without regret
Despite the groans of the heart.
Remember, they are alive
Loved you more than life.
Let them know, there, in heaven,
We mourn, we have not forgotten.
On Trinity Saturday
Let's remember our parents
And may their souls in heaven
But in our hearts they are with us.
We will come to visit our relatives,
Let's line up the candles.
Kind eyes from granite
They look at us children.
Peace eternal silence
Embrace us by the shoulders
And we hear with our hearts:
" Love you" -
Our parents whisper to us.
The day will come, sacred to us,
When we remember
Friends, gone - unforgettable,
Your relatives, Father and mother.
They call it parental Saturday
This day among the people, in order
To give your care
To those who left us long ago.
They don't need flowers and wreaths
Granite stone is not nice to them,
But memories are so important
About those who were with us.
On Trinity Saturday I
I call on the departed to remember,
Devote time to prayer
I beg on a special day.
Let the candle burn like hope
There will always be peace in my heart
The dead don't leave
May your memory never.
Congratulations: 36 in verse, 4 in prose.
- This is a near-Earth object with a diameter of about 30 meters. It was discovered on August 29, 2006, when it was at a distance of 4.5 million km. from our planet. Scientists observed the celestial body for 10 days, after which the asteroid ceased to be visible in telescopes.Based on such a short observation period, it is impossible to accurately determine the distance at which the asteroid 2006 QV89 will approach the Earth on 09/09/2019, since the asteroid has not been observed since then (since 2006). Moreover, according to various estimates, the object may approach our planet not at all on the 9th, but on a different date in September 2019.
As for whether 2006 QV89 will hit Earth on September 9, 2019 or not - the chance of a collision is extremely low.
Thus, the Sentry System (developed by the JPL Center for NEO Studies) shows that the probability of a body colliding with the Earth is 1:9100 (those. about one ten thousandth of a percent).
The European Space Agency (ESA) estimates the chance of an asteroid orbit crossing our planet as 1 to 7300 (0,00014 % ). ESA ranked the 2006 QV89 4th among celestial bodies, representing a potential danger to the Earth. According to the agency, exact time"flight" of the body September 9, 2019 - 10:03 Moscow time.
In both Orthodoxy and Catholicism, Easter always falls on a Sunday.
Preceding Easter 2020 great post, which starts 48 days before happy holiday. And after 50 days celebrate the Trinity.
Popular pre-Christian customs that have survived to this day include dyeing eggs, making Easter cakes and curd cakes.
Easter treats are consecrated in the church on Saturday, on the eve of Easter 2020, or after the service on the very day of the Feast.
To greet each other on Easter should be the words "Christ is Risen", and to answer - "Truly Risen."
For the Russian team, this will be the fourth game in this qualifying tournament. Recall that in the previous three meetings, Russia "at the start" lost to Belgium with a score of 1:3, and then won two dry victories - over Kazakhstan (4:0) and over San Marino (9:0). The last victory was the largest ever for the existence of the Russian national football team.
As for the upcoming meeting, according to the bookmakers, the Russian team is the favorite in it. The Cypriots are objectively weaker than the Russians, and nothing good can be expected from the upcoming match for the islanders. However, we must take into account that the teams have never met before, and therefore we can expect unpleasant surprises.
The Russia-Cyprus meeting will take place on June 11, 2019 in Nizhny Novgorod at the stadium of the same name built for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Start of the match - 21:45 Moscow time.
Where and what time do the national teams of Russia and Cyprus play:
* Location of the match - Russia, Nizhny Novgorod.
* Game start time - 21:45 Moscow time.

Trinity parent Saturday
June 7 (date for 2014)
Funeral Liturgies and Panikhidas are celebrated in all churches today (Photo: Elena Dijour, Shutterstock) June 7 (date for 2014) On Trinity Parental Saturday in Orthodox world it is customary to commemorate the dead. This tradition dates back to apostolic times. The Apostle Peter on this day, addressing the Jews, speaks of the Resurrected Savior: God resurrected Him, breaking the bonds of death (Acts 2:24). Apostolic Ordinances They say that the apostles, filled with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, preached to Jews and Gentiles our Savior Jesus Christ, Judge of the living and the dead. Following this tradition, the Holy Church has long called for a commemoration of all the departed pious forefathers, fathers, brothers and sisters before the day of the Most Holy Trinity. Trinity Saturday is universal and represents the last day of the Old Testament Church before the unfolding of the Church of Christ in all its fullness on the Day of Pentecost. The Holy Church calls on this Saturday to make a commemoration, so that the saving grace of the Holy Spirit cleanses the sins of the souls of all who have died from the century of death and asks for the gathering of all in the Kingdom of Christ, praying “to rest the souls who have departed before in a place of cooling, as if not the dead will praise Thee, Lord, who are below in hell they dare to bring confessions to you, but we, the living, bless you and pray, and we offer prayers of forgiveness and sacrifices to you for their souls. Funeral Liturgies and requiems are being celebrated in all churches today. In the temple, you can order the commemoration of the names of the deceased at the liturgy. Commemoration is performed by the clergy in the altar, when particles are taken out of the prosphora, which are then immersed in a bowl with the Body and Blood of Christ. At this moment, a prayer is read: “Wash away, Lord, the sins of those who are remembered here by Your Honorable Blood, by the prayers of Your saints.” All believers are advised to go to the cemetery after visiting the temple.
9. 11 September. The beheading of John the Baptist.
The Church commemorates the Orthodox soldiers who were killed on the battlefield for Faith and Fatherland. This commemoration was established in 1769 during the war with the Turks and Poles by decree of Empress Catherine II. Fast day: fasting should consist of "a meal of oil, vegetables, or whatever God provides of them." By Orthodox tradition round vegetables are not eaten on this day.
10. Dimitriev parental Saturday -
Saturday a week before the feast of the memory of the Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica (November 8, new style), Heavenly Patron Right-Believing Grand Duke Dimitry Donskoy. Having won a victory on the Kulikovo field, Prince Dimitri made a commemoration by name of the soldiers who fell on the battlefield on the eve of his day of the Angel. Since then, the Church has commemorated on this day, called by the people the Demetrius Saturday, not only the soldiers who died for the Fatherland, but also all the deceased Orthodox Christians. On parental days, Orthodox Christians visit churches where funeral services are performed. These days, it is customary to make sacrifices on the memorial table (eve) - various products (with the exception of meat). After the memorial service, the products are distributed to the temple employees, those in need, sent to orphanages and nursing homes. Products are also brought to the funeral table on other days when a memorial service is performed, i.e. this is almsgiving for the dead.
On spring and summer parental days Radonitsa
Etymologically, the word "radonitsa" Goes back to the words "genus" and "joy", moreover, a special place of Radonitsa in the annual circle church holidays- immediately after the Bright Easter Week - as if it obliges Christians not to grieve and not complain about the death of loved ones, but, on the contrary, to rejoice at their birth into another life - eternal life. The victory over death, won by the death and resurrection of Christ, displaces the sadness of temporary separation from relatives.)
Why is the day of commemoration of the dead called "Radonitsa"? The name comes from the Slavic pagan spring custom to commemorate the dead on a day called Navi Day, Graves, Radavanitsy or Trizna. The word “radonitsa” itself goes back to the words “kind” and “joy” and obliges Christians not to delve into feelings about the death of loved ones, but, on the contrary, to rejoice at their birth into another life - eternal life. On this day, Christians share the Paschal joy of the Resurrection of the Savior with those who have already left this world. John Chrysostom in the 4th century testified to the antiquity of the custom to gather in his honor in Christian cemeteries. When is it customary to commemorate the dead? A memorial service and a full liturgy for the departed are performed on Tuesday of St. Thomas Week, they include joyful Paschal hymns. The commemoration of the dead on this day is also performed in cemeteries, where believers, together with prayer, bring to the deceased relatives and all Orthodox Christians the joyful news of the Resurrection of Christ. How to behave in a cemetery? Arriving at the cemetery, you need to light a candle and pray. You can read an akathist about the repose of the dead, and for enhanced prayerful commemoration of the dead - the commission of a lithium - a priest is invited. Then clean up the grave or just be silent, remember the deceased. No need to eat or drink in the cemetery, especially alcoholic drinks. The custom of leaving a glass of vodka and a piece of bread or some kind of food “for the deceased” in front of his photograph on the grave came to us from paganism and arose in Soviet times; in the Christian custom - to feed the hungry on this day.
On Tuesday of the second week after Easter, the day after St. Thomas Sunday (or Antipascha), the Orthodox Church established the day of commemoration of the dead, the first after the Easter holiday. This day is called Radonitsa and is considered Easter for the dead. On the day of Radonitsa, Christians symbolically share the Paschal joy of the resurrection of the Savior with members of the Church who have already left this world. According to St. John Chrysostom (4th century), this holiday was already celebrated in Christian cemeteries in antiquity.
and Trinity Saturday - it is customary to visit the cemetery after the church: to correct the graves of deceased relatives and pray next to their buried bodies. The custom of leaving various foodstuffs on the graves has nothing to do with Orthodoxy. These are all echoes of pagan feasts. It is especially impious to leave food consecrated in the church on the graves. It is a great sin to drink alcohol in a cemetery. The best thing you can do for them is to pray.
Write or Learn
"Abridged Follow-up for Prayer at Home and in the Cemetery"

The now widespread custom of visiting cemeteries on the very day of Easter contradicts the most ancient institutions of the Church: until the ninth day after Easter, the remembrance of the dead is never performed. If a person dies on Easter, then he is buried according to a special Easter rite. Easter is a time of special and exceptional joy, a celebration of victory over death and over all sorrow and sorrow.
The days of the week in the Orthodox Church are dedicated to special memories. And Saturday was dedicated to the memory of all the saints and the deceased. After all, the Sabbath is “rest” in Hebrew. On Saturday, the Church prays for all those who have left us for the afterlife, both saints and ordinary people whose fate has not yet been finally decided. In addition to daily prayers and Saturdays, there are separate days in the year that are mainly devoted to prayers for the departed. These days are called parent days, because earlier in Russia all deceased ancestors were called parents.
Parental Saturdays, or days of commemoration of the dead, fall on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Saturdays of Great Lent (before Easter). These days, all the dead are commemorated in churches. “God give rest, O Lord, to the souls of the departed Thy servants!” resounds in all churches. This is a prayer for all the Orthodox departed.
On spring and summer Parental Days (Radonitsa and Trinity Saturday), it is customary to visit the cemetery after the church: to correct the graves of deceased loved ones, to pray.
February 22, 2014 - Ecumenical Parent Meatless Saturday
This is the day of the all-Russian commemoration of the deceased ancestors, which falls on Saturday of the Motley Week (before Maslenitsa), the main winter memorial day. On such days, it is customary for Orthodox Christians to visit temples where funeral services are held. And also to make sacrifices on the memorial table - different products, but not meat.
During the ecumenical memorial service on this day, the Church prays to the Righteous Judge to show all the departed Orthodox Christians, including especially all those who died suddenly and were left without a legal burial, His mercy on the day of impartial retribution.
Dedicating the Meat-Feast Week to the remembrance of the last Last Judgment of Christ, the Church, in view of this judgment, has established intercession not only for her living members, but also for all those who have died from time immemorial, who have lived in piety, of all genera, ranks and conditions, especially for those who died a sudden death. and pray to the Lord for mercy on them. The solemn all-church commemoration of the departed on this Saturday (as well as on Trinity Saturday) brings great benefit and help to our dead fathers and brothers, and at the same time serves as an expression of the fullness of the Church life that we live. For salvation is possible only in the Church - the community of believers, whose members are not only those who live, but also all those who have died in the faith. And communion with them through prayer, prayerful commemoration of them is the expression of our common unity in the Church of Christ.
March 15, 2014 - Parental Saturday of the 2nd week of Great Lent
Anyone who wants to show his love for the dead and give them real help can best do this by praying for them, and especially by commemoration at the liturgy, when the particles seized for the living and the dead are immersed in the Blood of the Lord with the words: "Wash, Lord, sins commemorated here by Your precious blood, by the prayers of Your saints."
We can do nothing better or more for the departed than to pray for them, commemorating them at the Liturgy. They always need this, especially in those forty days when the soul of the deceased follows the path to the eternal villages. The body then does not feel anything: it does not see the gathered loved ones, does not smell the smell of flowers, does not hear funeral speeches. But the soul feels the prayers offered for it, is grateful to those who offer them, and is spiritually close to them.

March 22, 2014 - Parental Saturday of the 3rd week of Great Lent
On Holy Forty Days - the days of Great Lent, spiritual feat, the feat of repentance and doing good to others - the Church calls on believers to be in the closest union of Christian love and peace not only with the living, but also with the dead, to make prayerful commemorations on the appointed days of those who have departed from this life.
Some souls, after forty days, find themselves in a state of anticipation eternal joy and bliss, while others are in fear of eternal torment, which will fully begin after the Last Judgment. Before that, changes in the state of souls are still possible, especially due to the offering of the Bloodless Sacrifice for them (commemoration at the liturgy) and other prayers.
The importance of commemoration at the Liturgy can be seen from the following cases. Even before the glorification of St. Theodosius of Chernigov (1896), the hieromonk (the famous elder Alexy from the Goloseevsky skete of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, who died in 1916), who was reclothing the relics, was tired, sitting at the relics, dozed off and saw the saint in front of him, who said to him: "Thank you for your work for me. I also ask you, when you serve the Liturgy, to mention my parents"; and he gave their names (Priest Nikita and Maria). Prior to the vision, these names were unknown. A few years after canonization in the monastery, where St. Theodosius was the abbot, his own memorial was found, which confirmed these names, confirmed the truth of the vision. "How can you, saint, ask for my prayers when you yourself stand before the Heavenly Throne and give God's grace to people?" - asked the hieromonk. - "Yes, that's true," replied St. Theodosius, "but the offering at the liturgy is stronger than my prayers."
The parental Saturdays of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks of Holy Fortecost were appointed by the Church to commemorate the departed also for the reason that no funeral commemorations are performed on the weekly days of Great Lent (this does not include funeral litanies, litias, memorial services, commemoration 3 -th, 9th and 40th day after death, forty-mouthed), since there is no full liturgy every day, with the celebration of which the remembrance of the dead is associated. In order not to deprive the dead of the saving intercession of the Church on the days of the Holy Forty Days, the indicated Saturdays are singled out.
In monasteries and churches, they accept notes to commemorate the living and deceased Christians for 40 days (sorokoust), for six months and for a year. In this case, the names are recorded in the commemorative synodic, and the brethren of the monastery or church during the specified period pray for our relatives at each divine service.

A church note filed “about health” or “for repose”, along with candles, is the most massive and common church conversion people to the Lord, the Mother of God and saints
At the proskomidia - the first part of the liturgy, when for each name indicated in the note, particles are taken out of special prosphora, which are subsequently lowered into the Blood of Christ with a prayer for the forgiveness of sins commemorated,
At mass - this is how the people call the liturgy in general, and the commemoration after it in particular. Usually such notes are read by clergy and clergy before the Holy See;
On the litany - a commemoration for all to hear. It is usually performed by a deacon. At the end of the liturgy, these notes in many churches are commemorated a second time, on trebs. You can also submit a note for a prayer service or memorial service.

March 29, 2014 - Parental Saturday of the 4th week of Great Lent
On Holy Forty Days - the days of Great Lent, spiritual feat, the feat of repentance and doing good to others - the Church calls on believers to be in the closest union of Christian love and peace not only with the living, but also with the dead, to make prayerful commemorations on the appointed days of those who have departed from this life.
Boundless and unsuccessful would be our grief for dying loved ones, if the Lord did not give us eternal life. Our life would be aimless if it ended in death. What would be the use of virtue and good deeds then? Then those who say: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die" would be right. But man was created for immortality, and Christ, by His resurrection, opened the gates of the Kingdom of Heaven, eternal bliss for those who believed in Him and lived righteously. Our earthly life is a preparation for future life, and this preparation ends with death. Man is destined to die once, and then judgment (Heb. 9:27). Then a person leaves all his earthly cares; his body disintegrates in order to rise again at the General Resurrection.
The parental Saturdays of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks of Holy Fortecost were appointed by the Church to commemorate the departed also for the reason that no funeral commemorations are performed on the weekly days of Great Lent (this does not include funeral litanies, litias, memorial services, commemoration 3 -th, 9th and 40th day after death, forty-mouthed), since there is no full liturgy every day, with the celebration of which the remembrance of the dead is associated.

April 29, 2014 - Radonitsa
On Tuesday of the second week after Easter, the day after St. Thomas Sunday (or Antipascha), the Orthodox Church established the day of commemoration of the dead, the first after the Easter holiday. This day is called Radonitsa and is considered Easter for the dead.
According to St. John Chrysostom (4th century), this holiday was already celebrated in Christian cemeteries in antiquity. Its very name was taken from the all-Slavic pagan spring holiday with the commemoration of the dead, called Navi Day, Graves, Radavanitsy or Trizna.
It is on Radonitsa that there is a custom of celebrating Easter on the graves of the dead, where they bring colored eggs and other Easter dishes where memorial meal and part of what is prepared is given to the poor brethren for the memory of the soul. This real, living, everyday communication with the dead reflects the belief that even after death they do not cease to be members of the Church of that God who "is not the God of the dead, but of the living" (Matthew 22:32).
Sorokoust about repose
This type of commemoration of the dead can be ordered at any hour - there are no restrictions on this either. During Great Lent, when a full liturgy is performed much less frequently, in a number of churches commemoration is practiced this way - in the altar, during the entire fast, all the names in the notes are read and, if they serve the liturgy, then they take out the particles. It is only necessary to remember that those baptized in Orthodox faith people, as in the notes submitted to the proskomedia, are allowed to enter the names of only the baptized deceased.

June 7, 2014 - Trinity parental Saturday
Trinity Saturday is the day of the all-Russian commemoration of the dead, which falls on the Saturday before the Day of the Holy Trinity.
AT church calendar is called the Universal Parental Sabbath. During the universal memorial service on this day, the Church commemorates all Orthodox Christians who have ever died.
Trinity Saturday is universal and represents the last day of the Old Testament Church before the unfolding of the Church of Christ in all its fullness on the Day of Pentecost.
This Saturday, they celebrated a summer funeral feast for the departed ancestors. This is the main spring-summer memorial day for Orthodox Christians.
On this day, they visited cemeteries, commemorated their deceased relatives, decorated their graves with greenery, arranged ritual meals and communicated with the souls of the deceased. In the folk rites of the Trinity Saturday, many pagan relics have been preserved, with which the Church has always fought. St. Basil the Great, who compiled the touching prayers for the Vespers of Pentecost, says in them that the Lord, most of all, on this day deigns to accept prayers for the dead and even for "those who are held in hell."
September 11 - Day of the beheading of the head of the Prophet, Forerunner and Baptist of the Lord John
The day of the martyrdom of the Baptist of the Lord John in the year 32 after the Nativity of Christ is remembered by the Orthodox Church on September 11 in the new style and is called the day of the Beheading of John the Baptist.
Saint John is great in his uncompromising attitude towards sin. There is no other person who would be such a merciless enemy of sin as he is. He pursues and drives sin wherever he sees it. This is a great preacher of the fight against sin and a great herald of the One who erased the head of the serpent - sin. According to the Gospels, John the Baptist was arrested for diatribes against the ruler of Galilee, Herod Antipas, and beheaded at the instigation of Herodias, Herod's wife. In 362, by order of Emperor Julian the Apostate, the pagans opened the tomb of John the Baptist and burned his remains, however, the Christians managed to save some of these remains and transport them to Alexandria. But today their whereabouts are mysterious and ambiguous.
On this day, a strict fast is laid as an expression of the grief of Christians over the violent death of the great prophet.
The indestructible psalter of repose
The indestructible Psalter is read not only about health, but also about repose. From ancient times, the ordering of a commemoration on the Unsleeping Psalter is considered a great almsgiving for the departed soul.
It is also good to order the Indestructible Psalter for yourself, support will be vividly felt. And one more important point, but far from the least important,
There is an eternal commemoration on the Indestructible Psalter. It seems expensive, but the result is more than a million times more than the money spent. If this is still not possible, then you can order for a shorter period. It's also good to read for yourself.

November 1, 2014 - Saturday Dimitrievskaya
Demetrius Saturday was established after the Battle of Kulikovo and reminds of all those who died and suffered for Orthodoxy.
After the battle on the Kulikovo field (8) on September 16, 1380, Dmitry Donskoy visited the Trinity-Sergius monastery and made a commemoration of the Orthodox soldiers who died in the Battle of Kulikovo in the monastery, and invited the Church to make a commemoration every year on Saturday before October 26, on the day of memory of St. Demetrius of Thessalonica . The proposal of the Grand Duke was accepted, because the victory that went to the Russian army was stained with the blood of thousands of Orthodox soldiers - the loss of sons, husbands, fathers brought tears of grief and despair to Russian families.
Initially, the commemoration was performed for all Orthodox soldiers who fell in this battle. Over the years, Demetrius Saturday has become a day of requiem commemoration not only for soldiers, but for all the departed Orthodox Christians. Dimitri's Saturday has always been solemnly celebrated in Russia: they visited the graves of relatives, served requiems, held feasts, women remembered and lamented. On the day of Demetrius Saturday, as well as on other parental days (on meat and Trinity Saturdays, on Saturdays of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th weeks of Great Lent), Orthodox Christians pray for the repose of the souls of the deceased people - especially parents.

Prayers and chants
Troparion: With the spirits of the righteous who died, the soul of Your servant, Savior, rest in peace, keeping him in a blessed life, even with You, Humane. (God rest, O Savior, the soul of Your servant with the spirits of the righteous in a blissful life with You, Lover of mankind).
Kontakion Rest with the saints, Christ, the soul of your servant, where there is no sickness, no sorrow, no sighing, but endless life. (With the saints, give rest, O Christ, to the soul of Your servant, where there is neither sickness, nor sorrow, nor sighing, but life is endless).
Ikos: You alone are immortal, creating and creating a man of the earth, for we will be created from the earth and we will go to the earth there, as if you commanded that you created me and the river mi, as if you were the earth and you will go to the earth, or else all people will go, grave weeping creating the song of Alleluia. (You are the only immortal who created and created man, we are earthly, we were created from the earth and into the earth we will go, as He who created me commanded and said, “Dust you are and to dust you will return” (Gen. 3:19), where all people will go , turning a grave sob into a song of Alleluia).
Prayer for the dead:
Give rest, O Lord, to the souls of your departed servants: my parents, relatives, benefactors (their names), and all Orthodox Christians, and forgive them all sins, voluntary and involuntary, and grant them the Kingdom of Heaven.
It is more convenient to read the names from the commemorative book - a small book where the names of living and deceased relatives are recorded. There is a pious custom to keep family commemorations, reading which Orthodox people commemorate many generations of their deceased ancestors by name.
The Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Thessalonians, read at the funeral:
I do not want to leave you, brethren, in ignorance of the dead, so that you do not grieve like others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, then God will bring those who die in Jesus with Him. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will not precede the dead, because the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first; then we, the survivors, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17)
The Gospel of John, read at the funeral:
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. Truly, truly, I say to you: the time is coming, and it has already come, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and having heard, will live. For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He gave the Son to have life in Himself. And he gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man. Do not marvel at this; for the time is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who have done good will go out into the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil into the resurrection of judgment. I cannot create anything by Myself. As I hear, so I judge, and My judgment is righteous; for I seek not my will, but the will of the Father who sent me (John 5:24-30)
Today we commemorate our dear ancestors,
All our thoughts are about them, and all our prayers are about them!
Dmitrievskaya Saturday, sorrow, remembrance day,
A light sadness casts a shadow on the soul of sadness!
We remember the departed, our loved ones and relatives,
AT god's kingdom descended, old and young!
Dimitriev parental Saturday - all day church commemoration the departed, which takes place on the nearest Saturday before Memorial Day Holy Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica . At this time, Orthodox Christians pray for the repose of the souls of deceased relatives and friends, especially parents. In the calendar of the Orthodox Church, eight days are allocated when the dead are remembered. Dimitri's parental Saturday is special.
As on other parental Saturdays, it is customary to visit graves on Dimitrievskaya. At the cemetery, in the temple or at home, you need to pray for the dead. For church commemoration, they come to the temple the day before on Friday. At this time, a great memorial service, or parastas, is performed. People leave notes in which they indicate the names of those commemorated in the genitive case. They will be named at the Divine Liturgy, which is served on Saturday morning. Orthodox Christians attend the liturgy and, according to tradition, leave food in the temple on this day: flour, bread, vegetables, fruits, sweets.

Demetrius Saturday is the last in the current year when the Ecumenical memorial service is performed in the churches. This day is especially dear to Russian people. Behind him is the history of our land. Several centuries ago St. Sergius of Radonezh blessed the Grand Duke Demetrius of the Don who went to fight on the Kulikovo field. Two monks went to a good cause with the princely army - Alexander Peresvet and Andrey Oslyablya. They, along with other warriors, fell on the battlefield. After the battle, Prince Dimitry Donskoy arrived at the Trinity-Sergius Monastery and performed a commemoration in honor of the fallen Orthodox soldiers. After that, he proposed to perform the ceremony every year on the Saturday preceding the day of memory of St. Demetrius of Thessalonica.
At first, only warriors were remembered on Dimitriev Saturday. During the Battle of Kulikovo, more than 250 thousand people died, their wives mourned,.

Over time, on this day, they began to pray for all the dead. Prayer for them reflects the unity of faith and love. We ask the Lord to forgive the voluntary and involuntary sins of our relatives and we hope that they also pray for us. On this day, it is good to remember your loved ones in the family circle. Talk about what they were like, what they managed to do in life, what we learned from them. Such conversations are necessary for the younger generation. Children, learning the history of the family, learn love and respect.
Orthodox Christians believe that the human soul lives forever, death is a transition from one world to another. When we all commemorate the departed on Dimitriev's parental Saturday, when people flock to churches, we see that faith is strong and love is alive.
