The most powerful prayer for Easter

​In 2025, Orthodox Christians in Russia will celebrate Easter on April 20. It is noteworthy that this time the date coincides with the Catholic Easter. The holiday symbolizes the victory of life over death and hope over despair. Traditionally, believers attend night services, consecrate cakes and eggs, and spend time with their family. Which prayers should be remembered at Easter — in the material of Izvestia.

Easter prayer at home: at the table before eating

Prayer is a person's personal appeal to God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, or the saints. It can be composed in their own words or taken from the legacy of the holy fathers and church writers, whose texts are filled with depth and precision of spiritual meaning. It is important to understand that prayer is not a magic formula or a set of spells, but a sincere, lively dialogue with the Creator, in which the heart, thoughts and hopes of a believer open up.

On Easter, prayers before meals are replaced by reading (singing) the festive troparion. Before the start of the meal, it is customary to say three times:

"Christ has risen from the dead, restoring death to death, and giving life to those who are in the grave."

This troparion expresses the joy of the Resurrection of Christ and is the central element of the Easter service.

Easter cakes and eggs can be consecrated not only in the church, but also at home. To do this, recite the Easter troparion three times before the meal, and then sprinkle the food with holy water with the words:​

"In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen to that."

This ceremony symbolizes the consecration of food and gives special spiritual significance to the Easter meal.

Prayer can be said both in the temple and at home, in the silence of the heart or out loud. The main thing is faith in the power of the Resurrection of Christ.

The demand for cakes, eggs, and dyes has doubled or tripled.

Asking God for the health of relatives is not only possible, but also necessary. You can do this every day, especially during morning prayer, when the soul adjusts to a new day. It is also very important to make such petitions every Sunday, participating in the Divine Liturgy, because this is a special time of living communion with the Lord.

To whom and what prayer to read on Easter about healing

When a person prays for recovery, first of all he turns to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Most Holy Theotokos, his guardian angel and the saints of God. In times of illness and life trials, it is especially important to strive for cleansing the heart, reviewing one's actions and inner renewal. The grace of God bestowed in the church's Sacraments becomes a source of true spiritual support. Therefore, those who are ill often turn to the most important means of healing the soul and body — Confession, Communion and Unction.

On Easter days, you can, in particular, read the troparion, Glas 4, as well as the kontakion, Glas 2.
