Various rites and prayers for the departed, contained in church liturgical books ah, constitute the great wealth of the Church. However, for many modern Christians, this church treasury remains largely closed, since liturgical books are inaccessible and difficult to use. At the same time, various non-canonical texts of prayers for the dead have now spread, as a rule, taken from Uniate prayer books or newly composed ones.

Saint Athanasius (Sakharov, †1962), an outstanding connoisseur of the Church Charter and a confessor of the faith of a bygone age, in his book On the Commemoration of the Dead According to the Charter Orthodox Church” indicates the need for obedience to the Church in all spiritual deeds, especially in prayer. Prayer not according to the order of the church, he says, is like that “strange fire” that Nadab and Abihu, the unworthy sons of the priest Aaron, brought to God. Acting arbitrarily, we can take the most dangerous and disastrous path of pride and, instead of benefit, cause harm to ourselves and others. This applies not only to temple, public worship, but also to home prayer. Church ranks and rites, in particular, the rules for commemorating the dead, were composed from the prayerful experience of the saints, under the guidance of the Spirit of God, and Christians accepted them with humility and love - not as an unbearable yoke, but as good and light, received from a beloved and loving Mother - and, following them, they were saved. Similarly, all those who wish to follow the path of salvation must be obedient children of the Church and try to assimilate the structure of her life and the prayerful experience of the fathers, without inventing anything of their own and without taking into use anything alien.

This collection, together with the book Psalter and Canons for the Dead, to which it is a supplement, aims to make the statutory funeral services available to a wide number of parishioners and to make it easier for them to pray for the dead in accordance with the rules of the Orthodox Church. It includes the canons about the departed, contained in the liturgical books - the Oktoechos and the Followed Psalter. The canons are set out for reading by the laity in home prayer.

The canons for the dead are included in most funeral services; they are very diverse in content and mood, depending on the destination.

Canons of the Departed 8 Tones are placed in the Sabbath service of the Octoechos as the second canons at Matins. According to the Charter, they are supposed to be sung on Friday evening. The same canons can be included in the funeral service, they can also be read in a home prayer for the departed.

The canons about the departed Octoechos were written by the Monk Theophanes the Confessor, the Inscribed, Bishop of Nicaea. His name is indicated in the acrostic canon of the 5th tone (and in the Slavic Oktoech he is also indicated separately in the 3rd, 6th and 7th tones), however, other canons about the deceased Oktoech undoubtedly belong to the Monk Theophanes. The canons are placed in numerical order, which is indicated in acrostics: “By faith I offer the first song to the dead”, “To the dead I weave the second song”, etc. All of them are inextricably linked and form a single whole.

The Monk Theophan the Confessor was born in Jerusalem in Christian family. Together with his older brother Theodore, he studied at the Lavra of St. Sava, where both brothers accepted monasticism and the rank of presbyter. The brothers Theodore and Theophan became famous as champions of icon veneration. On behalf of the Patriarch of Jerusalem, they went to Constantinople to denounce the iconoclast emperor Leo the Armenian (813-820) and defend Orthodoxy; later they denounced the iconoclast emperors Michael Balba (820-829) and Theophilus (829-842), for which they had to endure imprisonment, hunger, and severe torment. Emperor Theophilus ordered that insulting verses be written on their faces with red-hot needles, in which the holy confessors were spoken of as "vessels of superstitious delusion." Hence the name adopted by both brothers - "Inscribed". Reverend Theodore died in the dungeon. Theophanes, his brother in flesh and in spirit, laid the body in a coffin, singing funeral hymns over it - perhaps it was precisely those funeral canons that were later included in the Octoechos. The Monk Theophan lived to see the end of the iconoclastic persecution of Orthodoxy. His confessional feat lasted 25 years - from 817 to 842. Upon his return from exile, he was ordained bishop of Nicaea by the holy Patriarch Methodius († 847). Simeon Logothete, reporting this, says: “When there were those who were dissatisfied with this, pointing out that he was a Sirian and Orthodox, whether there was no one to vouch for, Saint Methodius answered, pointing not to his forehead: there is no need to wish for a better testimony after this inscription. Shortly thereafter, around the year 850, Saint Theophanes died. The Church commemorates him on October 11 (24).

The troparia of the canons are arranged in the following order: the first troparion contains a prayer to the holy martyrs; we encourage them to intercede before God for our dead, especially strong, since they endured countless torments, shed their blood for the Lord and did not spare their lives for His sake. In addition, the appeal to the martyrs in the canons about the dead, which is generally frequent in funeral services, reminds us that these hymns go back to the funerary singing of the first Christians near the remains of the holy martyrs for Christ. The refrain before the first troparion "Wonderful is God in His saints, the God of Israel" corresponds to the content of these troparions.

Then follow two troparia containing our petitions for the dead. In them, we present before the Lord Jesus Christ everything that can only incline Him to mercy, point to the Divine Wisdom, by which we were created in the beginning, commemorate His Divine exhaustion, His suffering, death and resurrection, which renewed the fallen human race. Destroying death and hell, He gave us immortality, delivered us from death and corruption. The Lord knows the infirmity of our nature, and He is inexpressibly merciful, “the ever-flowing Source of goodness”, “all sweetness, all desire and insatiable love, all kindness inexpressible.” He is the Lord of all, having power over the living and the dead. There are many mansions in His Kingdom, and He "divides them to all according to their property, according to the measure of virtue." We do not dare to say anything before God about the eternal fate of the souls of the departed, we only humbly remind that they are His servants and, “having been cleansed from the ancient ancestral fall by baptism and again by generation and having a rod of power - His Cross, they passed the worldly sea” (canons 4- th and 8th tones). In the last troparia of each song of the canons, we turn our prayers to the Most Holy Theotokos and ask Her intercession for us and our departed ones.

In the saddle after the 3rd ode and in the kontakion after the 6th ode, we pray to the merciful Master and the Lord to forgive the sins of the departed and to rest them together with the saints, where there is no sickness, no sorrow, no sighing, to lead them into endless life. Ikos gives us an example of the Christian attitude towards death: the natural sorrow for a person in the face of death is dissolved in him by humble obedience to the will of the Creator and praise to the immortal God: we are slaves of the Creator who created us, we obey Him, and do not resist. “For what was created, although from the earth, but not intended for the earth,” explains Bishop Athanasius (Sakharov), “returning to the earth, as not corresponding to its intended purpose, naturally causes grave sobbing. But for a Christian, this weeping is not like the tomb weeping of those who have no hope (see 1 Thess. 4:13). For those who have hope, the grave weeping about returning to the earth is dissolved by the thought that this is done according to God's command. And what is commanded by God, then everything is good. Therefore, a Christian even weeps and praises the Lord, his tomb weeping is intertwined with the angelic praise of God: “alleluia”, which in itself can never be a sob, but always, even in funeral rites, remains angelic praise.

The Followed Psalter contains a special canon about a single deceased. The use of this canon along with the canons about the deceased in 8 tones is convenient because the mention of the deceased in it is in the singular, while in the canons about the deceased it is in the plural, and therefore there is no need to adapt the text to the commemoration of one or many. For ease of reading, we give this canon separately for the deceased (male) and the deceased (female).

The canon about the one deceased is sung in the 8th voice; it begins with a prayer for those who pray themselves - with a request to give us a word for fervent prayer. There are no appeals to the martyrs in it, and in the third troparion (on "Glory") of each song, except for the last one, petitions for the deceased (and for ourselves) are addressed to the Holy Trinity. With boldness and hope, we ask the Lord for mercy on our deceased, with whom, perhaps, quite recently, “we have fallen many times together, and in the house of God together with a crotch”, and he prays with us: “I transgressed the commandment that You gave me, and became mortal, but You, Christ God, descended into the tomb and resurrected the souls of the dead from the age of death, do not raise me to torment, but to rest.

In the Old Russian "Psalms" before the canon about the only deceased there is the following preface on behalf of the deceased, addressed to his spiritual father. It can also be addressed to all who could pray for it.

Preface to the Canon of the Deceased

My spiritual father and lord, name, create for me, for God's sake, the last love and such mercy: sing this canon for me for thirds (third day), for nines (ninth day), forty days (fortieth day). If you are unable to do this, then sing it at least on one of these days or on some other day, only before the fortieth day (until the fortieth day). If, moreover, you deign to sing it, then you will bring me still greater benefit and you yourself will receive a greater reward from God, who said: “Measure to the finest measure, it will be measured to you” (Matt. 7, 2). And you, Father, for the sake of God, show mercy to my sinful soul, pray for it to the Lord, and the Lord our God will measure you for this, and have mercy on you, as if you were merciful, for He Himself said: “Blessed are the mercies, for they will have mercy” (Matthew 5:7). And alms for me is if someone prays for my soul and asks for mercy from God, and forgiveness of sins, and eternal rest. But enough already I ask for mercy, I will also speak about spiritual love, which I mentioned at the beginning. "There is a fulfillment of the law any way" (Rom. 13:10). “No one has greater love than this,” says the Lord, “but whoever lays down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). But I do not ask you, father, to lay down your life for my soul; but pray diligently for me to God, or bow down as much as you please. Thus, you will fulfill the commandment of the Savior about love, and in this way you will greatly help me. Do not think only that my body is already dead, but rather think about how hard, and bitter, and painful, and death is filled with sadness and longing for a person, especially for a sinner. Remember the insulting denunciations from demons when the soul is separated from the body, and the torture of every word and thought, voluntary or involuntary. Think also about the time when the holy angels will lead the soul through the air to the ordeals of the fierce world-keeper; what fears and threats there are for souls, as many saints write about. when they bring the soul to worship the throne of the Glory of the Lord, and the Lord will command to show that soul the dwellings of the saints - a righteous soul for consolation, and a sinner for great sorrow - for he will see with his own eyes what blessings she has lost. Then the Lord will command to bring the soul to dark dungeons, to the underworld of hell and show it terrible torments, indescribable by word and inconceivable by the mind - for only by faith we believe that such torments exist. And now, in everything that was written before, my soul is in misery. Therefore, knowing for sure that all this must be, I first wrote this petition with my own hand. Do me mercy, God-loving lord, for God's sake, share these sorrows with me. As we once ate and drank and rejoiced together many times, so now suffer with me. For the Apostle also teaches us to "rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep" (Rom. 12:15). Therefore, mourn with me, having done as I ask you, so that you will help me get rid of eternal sorrows. For I hope that, seeing your love and that you did not despise my prayer, God will not despise your prayer, and at your request will give you everything useful for your salvation, and have mercy on me. If He also allowed the legion of demons to enter the herd of swine at the request, will he not hear the prayer of His servant and will he not fulfill His promise? For He said: “Everything, if you ask in a believing prayer, you will receive ... Heaven and earth will pass by, but My words will not pass by” (Matt. 21, 22; 24, 35). Be healthy in Christ and be saved by the prayers of all the saints. Amen.

Prayer for the dead (as well as for the living) is the duty of everyone Orthodox Christian, for they also pray for him, and thus he becomes the debtor of everyone - both the living and the dead. Prayer is at the same time an expression of Christian love, the need for love for one's fellow believers. After all, “we are all one body, both in heaven and on earth, all are partakers of the Life-giving God-human Body – the Church and the Church; the same life of the Church both on earth and in heaven, for there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one communion, one virtue, one grace.

Church hymns about the departed tell us that all believers do not die, but live forever in the Lord, that the Lord only resettles His servants to another life, for, according to the word of Christ, “God ... is not god of the dead but alive, for with Him all are alive” (Luke 20:38). They testify to the closeness to us of those who died in Christ, to the unity of the Church of heaven and earth. And prayer is the main force of this unity.

There are many testimonies that the prayers of the Church bring undoubted benefits to the departed. Great blessing also happens to those who take upon themselves the work of prayer in their memory. “Offerings for the dead are not in vain,” says St. John Chrysostom, “not in vain are prayers, not in vain are alms: all this was established by the Holy Spirit, desiring that we receive benefit through each other.”

Funeral hymns remind the living of the common fate of all the inhabitants of the earth. They speak of the original purpose of man, created in the image of the Trinitarian God and placed by the Creator "in the midst of humility and majesty"; his body was created from the earth and “inspired by divine inspiration”, the spirit of life (see Gen. 1, 26; 2, 7). It was intended not for death and corruption, but for living in paradise, for participating in eternity, in Divine life. They also speak of the fact that a person did not retain this Divine dignity, transgressed the commandment and was cast out of paradise and condemned to return again to the earth from which he was taken. Is there more grief in the world than that experienced by a person at the sight of death? The sadness of the bitter separation from our loved ones is combined with the grief that we, sinners, are faced with the same path of the whole earth. Steadily marching along it, we will someday - perhaps soon - reach "the same abode (tomb)". Will our loved ones then, with good hope, be able to ask God for mercy for us, praying with the words of church rites, evoking our virtues, saying that we “put our hope in Christ”, “served Him with all our heart”, “carried His yoke and burden His lung on its frame"? The Holy Fathers teach that such thoughts and feelings are very beneficial for the living, for they instill in their souls “the saving fear of death, to which holiness is delivered.”

The hymns of the funeral canons turn the mournful gaze of those praying to Christ the Savior, revealing the most important dogmatic truths of Christianity. The Second Person of the Holy Trinity, the Son of God and the perfect God, “without leaving the bowels of the Father”, came to earth in order to save the erring human race, deceived by the devil, in order to “renew more beautifully” man who had fallen to the earth; “Helper by nature,” He destroyed Himself, taking the form of a servant” (Philippians 2:7), voluntarily took upon Himself the consequences of our sin, knew all our weaknesses, all the limitations of our existence, except for the sinful passions that depend on our freedom. The only Sinless One, not participating in any sin, He took upon Himself the sins of the world, paid for all with Himself, redeemed the world with His Blood, Healed our infirmities with His wounds; renewed human nature buried by passions. “Treasure of immortality”, hypostatic Life and Source of life, having power over life and death, accepted death for the salvation of all, was in the tomb, dead in the flesh, numbered among the dead - and by His death abolished the law of death, crushed its gates, dulled its sting, mortified her strength; With his “life-giving deadness he killed the slayer” (the devil), delivered “those who fell into the dust of death”, exuded immortal life. Having descended into hell, by the lordship of His Divinity he dispelled its darkness, abolished its gloomy kingdom and resurrected its prisoners. The God-man Jesus Christ has the power to forgive sins and can give the departed an eternal inheritance, the Kingdom of Heaven; but we must beg forgiveness of sins, and salvation, and every gift that the Lord brings, to us and our loved ones, the living and the dead; this expresses our real participation in the Church, the living body of Christ, our participation in the divine-human economy of salvation.

Participating in church services, Christians repeatedly during their lives, from day to day, from year to year, especially in the days Holy Week, mysteriously experience all these saving deeds of God for us. On bright Easter days, rejoicing and rejoicing in the Risen Christ, the Church again and again reminds the faithful that the Lord Jesus Christ has resurrected us “from the dead to a living hope” (1 Pet. 1:3), to a hope that overcomes death, which enters into immortality. He opened the way to His eternal Kingdom for us, “revealed the entrances of the belly”, kindled our hearts with the thirst for infinite life. And while the time has not yet ended for us, while the Lord shows us the wondrous miracle of His patience and mercy, it depends only on ourselves to take this path and be established on it with the help of the grace of Christ, in the Holy Spirit.

The grace-filled remembrance that death has indeed been conquered throughout the universe and that human nature is destined for eternal life with the Lord in “eternal joy,” transforms our tragedy and sorrow in the face of death into prayerful sorrow and joy, the sorrow of temporary separation, the joy of eternal life.

The canons about the departed (both about one and about many) can be read in home prayer of choice and desire at any time, except for the Twelfth and Great Feasts, as well as the days of Passion and Bright Weeks.

For many of the departed, one of the canons about the departed 8 tones is read, preferably the canon of the current voice (that is, the voice to which Oktoeh chants are sung that week). This canon can be read for all your relatives and loved ones on the eve of Saturday.

There is the following ancient church tradition about the benefits of commemorating the dead on the eve of Saturday. Saint Macarius of Egypt († 390) once, walking through the desert, found the skull of some dead man lying on the ground. The old man asked who he was? And the skull replied that he was the chief priest of idols among the pagans who lived in this place and, calling Saint Macarius by name and spirit-bearer, told him that when Christians pray on Saturday for Christians who had departed, then “there is light on them from Friday evening to Monday dawn. "Then we (the souls of the infidels)," he concluded his story, "have some consolation."

Wonderful is God in His saints, the God of Israel.

Whoever is everywhere, thou hast descended, O Lord, to save the already deceived human race. The same martyrs pray to Thee: these, even if thou hast left the earth, in the lands of the meek, Savior, rest in peace.

Alive in the help of the Most High, in the blood of the God of heaven will be settled. The Lord says: Thou art my intercessor and my refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. Yako He will deliver you from the net of the hunter, and from the rebellious word, His splash will overshadow you, and under His wings you hope, His truth will be your weapon. Do not be afraid of the fear of the night, from the arrow flying in the days, from the thing in the darkness of the transient, from the scum and the demon of the noonday. A thousand will fall from your country, and the darkness at your right hand will not come close to you, both look at your eyes and see the retribution of sinners. As You, O Lord, are my hope; The Most High has made you your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and the wound will not approach your body, as if by His Angel a commandment about you, save you in all your ways. They will take you in their hands, but not when you stumble your foot on a stone; step on the asp and the basilisk, and cross the lion and the serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and, as I know My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him, I am with him in sorrow, I will crush him and glorify him, I will fulfill him with long life and show him My salvation.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy, and according to the multitude of Thy mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Wash me most of all from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my iniquity, and my sin before me is taken out. I have sinned against you alone and done evil before you, as if you were justified in your words and won, when you judge Thee. Behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and in sins give birth to me, my mother. Behold, thou hast loved the truth, Thy obscure and secret wisdom revealed to me. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Give joy and gladness to my ears, the bones of the humble will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins, and cleanse all my iniquities. Create a pure heart in me, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Reward me the joy of Your salvation and confirm me with the dominating Spirit. I will teach the wicked in Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from the blood, O God, God of my salvation, my tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will proclaim your praise. As if you would have desired sacrifices, you would have given them, you would not favor burnt offerings. Sacrifice to God, the spirit is broken, the heart is contrite and humble, God will not despise. Please, O Lord, with Thy favor Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, an offering and a burnt offering, then they will offer calves on Your altar.

Bringing alien fire before the Lord, as self-made, as a violation of the established rite of worship, was such a serious crime that the guilty, as a warning to others, were immediately punished with death. See Leviticus 10, 1-2; Number 3, 4; 26, 61.

In prayers and church hymns, writes the saint righteous John Kronstadt († 1908), - throughout their space, the Spirit of truth moves ... Prayers and chants are the breath of the Holy Spirit ”(John of Kronstadt, righteous. So that prayer is not a sin. St. Petersburg, 2002, p. 83-84) .

“All liturgical books,” continues the same thought, the outstanding Serbian theologian of the twentieth century, Rev. These are dogmas expressed in the words of prayer, and through prayer they are transformed into the soul of our soul, into the life of our faith. This is Orthodox pedagogy - a stream of living, undying, apostolic life Holy Tradition"(Justin (Popovich), reverend. On the Divine-human path. St. Petersburg, 199, p. 140-141.

See Athanasius (Sakharov), Bishop. On the commemoration of the dead according to the charter of the Orthodox Church. SPb., 1995, p. 17, 19-21.

It is also true that ascetics who have reached high levels of spiritual life and have taken upon themselves the feat of silence no longer need the usual order of church services, since their mind is incessantly in prayer. ““Asses and songs are church traditions,” writes St. Barsanuphius the Great, “and they are well established for the agreement of all people (in prayers), also in hostels for the agreement of many. needlework, reading and meditation, and, after a few hours, they begin to pray ”(St. Barsanuphius the Great and John, a guide to spiritual life in the answers and questions of students. (St. Petersburg, 1905, answer 74). However, this does not mean that they violate the Charter Church, On the contrary, having fulfilled it (not only in letter, but also in spirit), they achieve freedom in Christ.

It is especially important to remember the words about obedience to the Church in our evil time, the time of all-pervading lies, which require firm standing in the purity of faith, unswerving adherence to the church institutions received from the holy fathers. After all, time is inexorable and our life is rapidly approaching the end, and if we deviate from the right path, we may not have time to correct.

The book was published by our publishing house in 1999.

Oktoih (Greek - octoglasnik) - a book containing the services of the days of the week of eight voices. The Church Rule of the Week names in total all seven days of the week; the week is the first day of the week, Sunday. Among the days of the week, the Church mainly devotes Saturday to the commemoration of the dead (as well as to the remembrance of all the saints who have pleased God from the beginning).

At a great memorial service after Vespers, or, if a memorial service cannot be performed, at Compline.

It also takes care of the salvation of the souls of the departed, praying for them to the Lord God, that He forgives them sins, voluntary and involuntary, is the sacred duty of every believer in Christ. For the dead, the Psalter, canons, requiems are usually read, in the modern tradition of the Orthodox Church, akathists are also read.

This Section Orthodox prayer book includes the texts of the canons about the departed, taken from the Octoechos and the Followed Psalter and adapted for reading in home prayer.

The canons for the dead are included in most funeral services; they are very diverse in content and mood, depending on the destination.

The canons of the departed in 8 tones are placed in the Sabbath service of the Octoechos (one of the main liturgical books) as the second canons at Matins. According to the Charter, they are supposed to be sung on Friday evening (because the liturgical circle - the day begins in the evening). The same canons can be included in the funeral service, they can also be read in a home prayer for the departed.

Venerable Theophan the Inscribed, Bishop of Nicaea, Confessor

The Monk Theophan the Confessor was born in Jerusalem into a Christian family. Together with his older brother Theodore, he studied at the Lavra of St. Sava, where both brothers accepted monasticism and the rank of presbyter. The brothers Theodore and Theophan became famous as champions of icon veneration. On behalf of the Patriarch of Jerusalem, they went to Constantinople to denounce the iconoclast emperor Leo the Armenian (813-820) and defend Orthodoxy; later they denounced the iconoclast emperors Michael Balba (820-829) and Theophilus (829-842), for which they had to endure imprisonment, hunger, and severe torment. Emperor Theophilus ordered that insulting verses be written on their faces with red-hot needles, in which the holy confessors were spoken of as "vessels of superstitious delusion." Hence the name adopted by both brothers - "Inscribed". Saint Theodore died in prison. Theophanes, his brother in flesh and in spirit, laid the body in a coffin, singing funeral hymns over it - perhaps it was precisely those funeral canons that were later included in the Octoechos. The Monk Theophan lived to see the end of the iconoclastic persecution of Orthodoxy. His confessional feat lasted 25 years - from 817 to 842. Upon his return from exile, he was ordained bishop of Nicaea by the holy Patriarch Methodius († 847). Simeon Logothete, reporting this, says: “When there were those who were dissatisfied with this, pointing out that he was a Sirian and Orthodox, whether there was no one to vouch for, Saint Methodius answered, pointing not to his forehead: there is no need to wish for a better testimony after this inscription. Shortly thereafter, around the year 850, Saint Theophanes died. The Church commemorates him on October 11 (24).

The Monk Theophan was the author of many works, including those in defense of icon veneration; he also wrote many church hymns - he owns about 150 canons in Oktoikh, Menaia and Triodion. In the Greek Menaion we read the following words in his honor: “Like a shining light, you illuminate the entire sunflower with the light of your dogmas; like David, striking the zither, you sing worthy songs to the saints of Christ and you announce Epirus (the region where the Monk Theophanes was bishop) all. That is why you are glorified with dignity, priest Theophanes. The canons about the dead belong to the best creations of the Monk Theophan; their high dignity is noted by many researchers of church hymnography. The troparia of the canons are arranged in the following order: the first troparion contains a prayer to the holy martyrs; we encourage them to intercede before God for our dead, especially strong, since they endured countless torments, shed their blood for the Lord and did not spare their lives for His sake. In addition, the appeal to the martyrs in the canons about the dead, which is generally frequent in funeral services, reminds us that these hymns go back to the funerary singing of the first Christians near the remains of the holy martyrs for Christ. The refrain before the first troparion "Wonderful is God in His saints, the God of Israel" corresponds to the content of these troparions.

In the Old Russian Psalms, before the canon about the only deceased, there is the following preface on behalf of the deceased, addressed to his spiritual father. It can be addressed to all who could pray for it.

How to read the canons about the dead

Saint Paisios the Great was born in Egypt. From childhood, he fell in love with the monastic life. Having renounced his will, he lived under the spiritual guidance of Saint Pavma, fulfilling his orders in everything. The holy ascetic diligently read spiritual books and became especially famous for the feat of fasting and prayer. The main precept of the Monk Paisios was one: to do nothing according to one's own will, but in everything to fulfill the will of one's mentors. Burdened by the breaking of the silence, the monk withdrew to a more distant cave. Once he was raptured to heavenly abodes and was rewarded there to partake of the immaterial Divine food. The Monk Paisios was distinguished by great humility, performed the feats of fasting and prayer, but, if possible, hid them from strangers. To the question of the monks, which virtue is the highest of all, the monk answered: “The one that is performed in secret and about which no one knows.” Saint Paisios has the grace of God to deliver from eternal torment those who have died without repentance. Memory Saint Paisios Great on June 19 (July 2 in civil style). The canon is taken from an old canon, and Bishop Athanasius (Sakharov), an authoritative expert on the statutory worship, refers to it as sung for deliverance from the torment without repentance of the dead in his book “On the Commemoration of the Dead According to the Rule of the Orthodox Church”.

Prayers for the departed are a continuation of our relationship with our neighbors. The Holy Church calls us, the living, to pray for the departed, for they no longer have the opportunity to pray for themselves. We must pray for the forgiveness of their sins and for the repose of their souls in the heavenly abodes, pray that God's good memory of them would be eternal...

The commemoration of the dead, first of all, is a daily prayer for them, which we include in the circle of our obligatory morning prayers:
Remember, Lord, from this life, His Holiness Patriarchs, His Grace Metropolitans, Archbishops and Bishops of the Orthodox, who have departed from this life, in the same priesthood and parable of the Church, and the monastic rank served You, and in Your eternal villages with the saints give rest. (Bow)
Remember, Lord, the souls of your departed servants, my parents (their names, if they died, if they are alive, these words should be omitted), and all relatives in the flesh and forgive them all sins, free and involuntary, granting them the Kingdom and eternal communion of Your good and Your endless and blissful life is pleasure. (Bow)
Remember, Lord, and all in the hope of the resurrection and eternal life of the reposed, fathers and our brothers and sisters, and lying here and everywhere, Orthodox Christians, and with Your saints, where the light of Your face dwells, indwell, and have mercy on us, as Good and Humanitarian. Amen. (Bow)
Grant, Lord, the forgiveness of sins to all those who have departed in the faith and hope of the resurrection, our fathers, brothers and sisters, and create for them an eternal memory. (Three times)
The dead should certainly be commemorated in church services.

Psalm 90

Alive in the help of the Most High, in the blood of the God of heaven will be settled. The Lord says: Thou art my intercessor and my refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. Yako Toy will deliver thee from the net of the hunter, and from the word of the rebellious. His splash will overshadow you, and under His wings you hope that His truth will be your weapon. Do not be afraid of the fear of the night, from the arrow flying in the days, from the thing in the darkness of the transient, from the scum and the demon of the noonday. A thousand will fall from your country, and darkness at your right hand will not come near you. Both look at your eyes and see the retribution of sinners. As You, O Lord, are my hope; The Most High has made you your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and the wound will not come near your body. As if by His Angel I commanded about you, keep you in all your ways. They will take you in their hands, but not when you stomp your foot on a stone. Step on the asp and the basilisk, and cross the lion and the serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver; I will cover and, as if I knew my name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him, I am with him in sorrow, I will crush him and glorify him, I will fulfill him with long life and show him My salvation.

Psalm 50

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy, and according to the multitude of Thy mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Wash me most of all from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my iniquity, and my sin before me is taken out. I have sinned against you alone and done evil before you, as if you were justified in your words and won, when you judge Thee. Behold, in iniquities I was conceived, and in sins my mother gave birth to me. Behold, thou hast loved the truth, thou hast shown me thy unknown and secret wisdom. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Give joy and gladness to my ears, the bones of the humble will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins, and cleanse all my iniquities. Create a pure heart in me, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Reward me the joy of Your salvation and confirm me with the dominating Spirit. I will teach the wicked in Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from the blood, O God, God of my salvation, my tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will proclaim your praise. As if you would have desired sacrifices, you would have given them, you would not favor burnt offerings. Sacrifice to God, the spirit is broken, the heart is contrite and humble, God will not despise. Please, O Lord, with Thy favor Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, an offering and a burnt offering, then they will offer calves on Your altar.

Canto 9

Irmos: The sky was terrified about this, and the ends of the earth were surprised, as if God appeared as a carnal man, and Your womb was the most spacious of heaven. Those are thee, the Mother of God, the Angels and the man of office are called.

We magnify the words of the giving birth, the present Mother of God. (Bow)

Psalm 90

Alive in the help of the Most High, in the blood of the God of heaven will be settled. The Lord says: Thou art my intercessor and my refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. Yako Toy will deliver thee from the net of the hunter, and from the word of the rebellious. His splash will overshadow you, and under His wings you hope that His truth will be your weapon. Do not be afraid of the fear of the night, from the arrow flying in the days, from the thing in the darkness of the transient, from the scum and the demon of the noonday. A thousand will fall from your country, and the darkness at your right hand will not come near you. Both look at your eyes and see the retribution of sinners. As You, O Lord, are my hope; The Most High has made you your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and the wound will not approach your bodies. As if by His Angel I commanded about you, keep you in all your ways. They will take you in their hands, but not when you stomp your foot on a stone. Step on the asp and the basilisk, and cross the lion and the serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and, as I know My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him, I am with him in sorrow, I will crush him and glorify him, I will fulfill him with long life and show him My salvation.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to Thee, O God. (Three times)
Lord have mercy. (Three times)

Theotokion: You and the wall, and the refuge of the imam, and the prayer book are favorable to God, You gave birth to Him, O Brideless Mother of God, salvation of the faithful.

Psalm 50

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy, and according to the multitude of Thy mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Wash me most of all from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my iniquity, and my sin before me is taken out. I have sinned against you alone and done evil before you, as if you were justified in your words and won, when you judge Thee. Behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and in sins give birth to me, my mother. Behold, thou hast loved the truth, thou hast shown me thy unknown and secret wisdom. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Give joy and gladness to my ears, the bones of the humble will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins, and cleanse all my iniquities. Create a pure heart in me, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Reward me the joy of Your salvation and confirm me with the dominating Spirit. I will teach the wicked in Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from the blood, O God, God of my salvation, my tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will proclaim your praise. As if you would have desired sacrifices, you would have given them, you would not favor burnt offerings. Sacrifice to God, the spirit is broken, the heart is contrite and humble, God will not despise. Please, O Lord, with Thy favor Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, an offering and a burnt offering, then they will offer calves on Your altar.
