Saturday of Souls
Remembering our departed loved ones in prayer.
“For You are the Resurrection, the Life and the Repose of Your departed servant the pious and Orthodox Christians who have fallen asleep, O Christ our God, and to You we offer up glory, with Your eternal Father Who is without beginning and Your all-holy, good and life-creating Spirit, now and forever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.”
There are times of the year in which we offer the Saturday of Souls, were we commemorate all those who have departed this life, “emperors, patriarchs, hierarchs, priests, hieromonks, deacons, monks, nuns and all our departed pious and Orthodox Christians, from one end of the world to the other: fathers, forefathers, grandparents, great-grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, and relatives,” During these services we commemorate the names of the DEPARTED and while we many not be able to attend the services, this page will give the opportunity to summit those names.
