Morning prayer on your birthday. A prayer that is read once a year and only on your birthday

Birthdays are not considered an important holiday to be celebrated in the Orthodox tradition. This is just a date on which it is worth thanking the Lord for the abundance of days that He gave to His servant.

This is also a good reason to pray for the coming year and ask for preservation in it. In addition to the Lord, on your birthday you should also pray to your Guardian Angel, who has protected you throughout your life.

How to properly celebrate an Orthodox holiday

Few people know that birthdays began to be celebrated only during the Roman Empire. Before this, this date was remembered only in order to know your age and it was not always an exact number. That is why the exact time of the birth of Jesus Christ has not reached our days - then it was simply not customary to remember it.

On your birthday you should thank the Lord for the abundance of days He has given

Today this holiday is usually celebrated, if not on a grand scale, then somehow memorable: someone jumps with a parachute, someone orders a restaurant, but everyone strives to remember it, and perhaps change something in life.

A birthday is, first of all, a memorable date that says that a person has lived another long year on this earth. Secondly, this is a reason to evaluate the quality of life and draw an intermediate conclusion, to repent of something.

Important! This time is considered a holiday for the Guardian Angel, who cares and protects a person throughout his life.

How to spend a holiday correctly? You should prepare for it in advance, perhaps spend a couple of days in fasting and prayer. Be sure to make a prayer rule during the week in advance and devote this time to analyzing your life and the past year. In addition, you should:

on the eve of your birthday, attend the evening liturgy;
confess the day before and take communion;
perform a grateful reading of petitions, preferably directly at the hour when the person was born;
perform a prayer rule in the morning and evening on the holiday.

How and what texts to read on your birthday

On this holiday, Orthodox priests advise not only to follow the standard reading rule, but also to order a thanksgiving prayer service in the church, to which you can invite all your friends - this is a good tradition that can serve as an impetus for the repentance of one of them.

On your birthday, you should perform a prayer rule in the morning and evening

Lord God, Ruler of the whole world, visible and invisible. All the days and years of my life depend on Your holy will. I thank You, most merciful Father, that You allowed me to live another year; I know that due to my sins I am unworthy of this mercy, but You show it to me out of Your ineffable love for mankind. Extend Your mercies to me, a sinner; continue my life in virtue, tranquility, health, peace with all relatives and in harmony with all neighbors. Give me an abundance of the fruits of the earth and everything that is necessary to satisfy my needs. Most of all, cleanse my conscience, strengthen me on the path of salvation, so that, following it, after many years of life in this world, having passed into eternal life, I will be worthy to be the heir of Your Heavenly Kingdom. Lord Himself, bless the year I am beginning and all the days of my life. Amen.

This petition is also about a blessing for the coming year, so that a person spends every future day with the Lord and does not waste it in vain. You should definitely read a text of gratitude to your Guardian Angel, because this is also his memorable date. He performs a lot of responsibilities:

convey all a person’s requests to the Savior himself;
protects a person from the negative influences and actions of demons;
asks the Lord for help and salvation of the soul.

One should honor both his attention and requests to him. After all, the angel is always nearby and does nothing other than take care of his ward.

Heavenly Angel, my faithful guardian. Follow me through this miserable life. Don’t give up on failures, save me from torment, and on my birthday, start studying again. Love and forgive, do not sin and do not get angry, pray to God as hard as possible. My angel, don’t abandon me on a long journey, don’t let my legs break in weakness. Let your hands control and your heart knock, I will pray again on my birthday. Amen.

Angel of my birth.
Send me your blessing
Deliverance from trouble, grief,
From my enemies nine nine times,
From slander and vain blasphemy,
From a sudden and terrible illness,
From the point in the dark, from the poison in the cup, from the beast in the thicket,
From the sight of Herod and his army,
From anger and punishment,
From bestial mauling,
From eternal cold and fire,
From hunger and a rainy day -
Save, save me.
And my last hour will come,
My angel, stay with me
Stand at the head, make my care easier.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The video tells you how to behave in the twelve days after your birthday, so that the rituals performed intensify their effect. Filmed by Diana Suemi channel.

With each passing year of our life, we begin to understand the value of the gifts sent to us by the Lord. Reading a prayer on your birthday makes it possible to thank the Almighty and Guardian Angel for all the bounties and benefits we receive from heaven in response to numerous petitions.

Having learned to offer prayers and requests to the Almighty, a person sometimes forgets about basic gratitude for timely divine help.

The Almighty is patient and merciful, he does not expect reward for his care, but nothing human is alien to God, so he will be pleased to hear heartfelt words from his “child” (and, in fact, all people are children of God) once again.

One of the most beloved prayers by Orthodox people is sincere repentance before the Lord on their birthday.

Prayer "On your birthday"

Orthodox prayers offered on a birthday are divided into protective ones - designed to protect a person at the moment of vulnerability of his energy shell, and thanksgiving prayers - which glorify the Heavenly Father and the personal Guardian Angel who helps his ward in life.

Types of holiday prayers

If you are in doubt about what prayers you should read on your birthday (taking into account your age, state of health, etc.), seek advice from the priest of your nearest church parish; he will always suggest the prayer that is necessary. The most common among them:

Holy prayer to the heavenly guardian (your Angel)

Prayer to the Heavenly Guardian

“Holy Angel of Christ, falling to you, I pray to you, my bright Guardian, given to me from Holy Baptism for the preservation of my soul and body of my sinner. With my unrighteous deeds, I anger your most pure lordship and push you away with lies, slander, envy, condemnation, disobedience,
hatred of neighbors and resentment, condemnation, love of money, adultery, rage, stinginess, gluttony, verbosity, evil and crafty thoughts, proud disposition and carnal lust. Oh, my evil deeds! Even dumb animals don’t do this! How can you look at me, how can you approach me, if I am in my sins, like a stinking dog? Bright Angel of Christ looking at me, how can I ask for forgiveness if I constantly fall into sins? But, I pray to you, I fall to you, my Holy Guardian, have mercy, be my helper and intercessor, save me from the human enemy with your pure prayers, always, now, and ever, and forever and ever! Amen!"

Prayer of thanksgiving to the Blessed Virgin Mary

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary

“Oh Trinity, our God! Simple Being, who created our soul in Your image, so that in You we have our life and peace! O Trinity, our Nourisher and Hope! Give us in You alone to always place our hope, in You alone to find life and peace. About the Trinity! You, like a mother, carry us all
in Your hands and You nourish us all from Your hands, like the most tender mother! You will never forget us, for You Yourself said: even if a woman forgets her childhood, I will not forget you to nourish, preserve, protect, deliver and save.”

Prayer on the Day of the Intercessor Angel

Prayer of the Intercessor Angel

“Angel of God, my Holy Martyr, given to me from God from heaven to protect me, I pray you, protect me from all evil, instruct me in good deeds and direct me on the path of salvation. Amen."

The church does not prohibit freely addressing the Holy Saint (whose name you bear) in your own words. The main thing is that they are spoken from the depths of the heart and are sincere.

Popular birthday prayers

Reading the prayer correctly

Before pronouncing the sacred text, it is advisable to partake of the Mysteries of Christ. The prayer text should be read at the hour of birth (if you remember it) or three times in the morning of the solemn day.

You can buy 12 candles in the temple and place them lit while honoring the birthday person in the house. Before receiving guests, give thanks to the Guardian Angel and voice your request to continue to protect you.

During the holiday, try to limit yourself from excessive libations and abuse of food. Often energetically weakened people (according to the observations of psychics) run the risk of getting sick during the celebration or after it, paying insufficient attention to their health.

Separately, I would like to mention the prayers that are offered on the birthday of deceased relatives. It so happens that after the death of one of our relatives, we remember the date of his death more than his name day.

You don’t have to visit the cemetery on the name day of the deceased, for this there are parental Saturdays, but remembering a soul mate with gratitude to the Lord for the life once given is the sacred duty of every Christian.

Those wishing to honor the memory of a deceased relative should come to the Orthodox church on the eve of his name day and submit a note for the repose of his soul.

Also, at your request, the priest can serve a memorial service at the grave of the deceased. You can also distribute food supplies (sweets, baked goods) to the poor and ask them to pray for the deceased.

It would not be out of place to celebrate the anniversary of the deceased with a “fraternal” meal, gathering all the relatives so that in conversations over an unpretentious meal they remember the affairs of his life, and what the deceased was like.

Remember that true faith is not determined by prayers on certain days and knowledge of all church holidays. It involves constant spiritual improvement in the daily sacraments of prayer, humility, good deeds and observance of the commandments of the Lord.

Each person has the main individual dates of life, and these are his birthday, name day and baptism day. We celebrate our birthday cheerfully with close friends, thank our parents, on name day we ask for the protection of our saint and angel, and on baptism day we ask for the blessing of the Lord and the spiritual development of our godparents, who are responsible for our spiritual education.

Man is by nature two-part, therefore he is born twice: bodily and spiritually: That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit (John 3:6). Without spiritual birth it is impossible to see the Kingdom of God. But spiritual birth is also impossible without physical birth. Therefore, a birthday for a Christian is a significant event. For non-believers, birthdays come down to congratulations, gifts and a feast. It's obvious that this is necessary. However, in the first place there should be thanksgiving to God, who gave the priceless gift of life on this day.

A day or two before the birthday (preparation):

We attend the liturgy
We receive the sacrament of confession and communion at the liturgy
We order a service for health (a simple note for health) for your birthday - for an early liturgy, when you plan to come to it yourself, and for 12-30 days in a row.

On your birthday

On this day, you can order a thanksgiving prayer in the temple or pray at home at the hour of birth.

Praying at home on your birthday, thanksgiving prayers (at the time of birth)
We attend the liturgy and prayer service (any one in the church after the liturgy)
Let's light a candle for our health
We receive the sacrament of communion at the liturgy
We order a thanksgiving prayer (a simple note for health) after the liturgy or the day before

Thanksgiving Prayer for Birthday

Birthday prayer, which is read at the hour when the birthday person was born. If you do not know the time at which you were born, then read the prayer 3 times as soon as you wake up on your birthday:

“Lord God, Ruler of the whole world, visible and invisible. All the days and years of my life depend on Your holy will. I thank You, most merciful Father, that You allowed me to live another year; I know that due to my sins I am unworthy of this mercy, but You show it to me out of Your ineffable love for mankind. Extend Your mercies to me, a sinner; continue my life in virtue, tranquility, health, peace with all relatives and in harmony with all neighbors. Give me an abundance of the fruits of the earth and everything that is necessary to satisfy my needs. Most of all, cleanse my conscience, strengthen me on the path of salvation, so that, following it, after many years of life in this world, having passed into eternal life, I will be worthy to be the heir of Your Heavenly Kingdom. Lord Himself, bless the year I am beginning and all the days of my life. Amen."

Prayer for National Day (Ukrainian version)

Lord God, Master of all the world, visible and invisible. It is Your holy will that all the days of my life remain. I thank You, Most Merciful Father, for allowing me to live one more river. I know that for my sins I am unworthy of this mercy, but You give it to me out of Your incredible lovability. Continue your mercy to the less sinful, continue my life in goodness, at peace with all my neighbors and in good health with all my neighbors. Give me plenty of the fruits of the earth and everything that is necessary to satisfy my needs. Cleanse my conscience as much as possible, strengthen me at the age of salvation, so that, following it, after living in this world for many years, passing into eternal life, I will be worthy of being an heir to Your Heavenly Kingdom. God Himself, bless this river that I am beginning, and all the days of my life. Amen.

Also, you need to pay attention to the next 12 days, because each day after your birthday symbolizes the next month. Therefore, you need to live these days as best as possible so that next year will be successful. You can then pay attention to the fact that how you lived the day of a certain month is how it will pass for you. For example, you were born in April, your birthday symbolizes the month of April, and your year as a whole, since it is your Birthday, the next day symbolizes May, then the day June, etc.
It is also appropriate to order a note for health for the first 12 birthdays in any temple. By prayer you will ask God for blessings on all your endeavors in the new year. Birthday is a reporting point. On the day of conception and the day of birth of a person, the program of a person’s life is laid, and it is on these days that it can be changed. Set up for bright feelings and love.

On name day or angel day!

On name day, in addition to thanking God, it is customary to read prayers to one’s patron saint, whose memory the Church celebrates on this day. If you can’t find a prayer, then use your own words. The most important thing is warmth and sincerity. We must try to receive Holy Communion on this day. Those who are named according to the Orthodox calendar read a prayer to the saint in whose honor they are named.

Orthodox prayer for birthday.

It is believed that birthday, despite the fact that for many people it is the most favorite holiday, is fraught with danger. The fact is that at this time, the person is very weak energetically. Therefore, it is necessary that on the birthday there are close people next to the birthday person who would drive away evil spirits with their ritual offerings (gifts) and good wishes. So, a birthday cake with candles and making wishes is a kind of altar in honor of the gods, to whom people turn for support.
Later, a special prayer appeared, which is read at the hour when the birthday boy was born. If you do not know the time at which you were born, then read the prayer 3 times as soon as you wake up on your birthday:

God, Lord of the whole world

visible and invisible.

All the days and years of my life depend on Your holy will.

Thank you, most merciful Father,

that You have allowed me to live another year;

I know that due to my sins I am unworthy of this mercy,

but You show it to me because of Your ineffable love for mankind.

Extend Your mercies to me, a sinner;

continue my life in virtue, tranquility, health, peace with all relatives and in harmony with all neighbors.

Give me an abundance of the fruits of the earth and everything that is necessary to satisfy my needs.

Above all, clear my conscience,

strengthen me on the path of salvation, so that, following it, after many years of life in this world, passing into eternal life, I will be worthy to be an heir

Your Heavenly Kingdom.

Lord Himself, bless the year I am beginning

and all the days of my life.

Amen.

Angel of my birth....(amulet).

Regardless of whether there is a suspicion of damage
or not, whether you filmed it or not,
once a year make yourself a talisman so that in the future
Not only were you unaffected by negative influences,
but all sorts of misfortunes.

Among many prayers, there is one prayer that few know about, and yet it still exists! This prayer is a miraculous amulet for those who firmly believe in the power of prayer. Appeal to your angel of birth - do not read every day, you only turn to the angel once a year - do not miss this important moment!

ONCE A YEAR, ON YOUR BIRTHDAY,
Just getting out of bed, say (read):

"The angel of my birth.
Send me your blessing
Deliverance from trouble, grief,
From my enemies nine nine times,

From slander and vain blasphemy,
From a sudden and terrible illness,
From the edge in the dark, from the poison in the cup,
From the beast in the thicket,
From the sight of Herod and his army,
From anger and punishment,
From bestial mauling,
From eternal cold and fire,
From hunger and a rainy day -
Save, save me.

And my last hour will come,
My angel, stay with me
Stand at the head, make my care easier.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Amen."

There is a new topic on the WOMEN'S WORLD website:

How to celebrate a birthday Since childhood, we have become accustomed to the fact that this is one of the two most anticipated and desired holidays of the year. Congratulations, gifts, guests... And now, the hour is approaching when everything is old...

"I am a baptized bone, my place is consecrated, the Cross is with me, the Cross is before me, an Angel walks with me. The dawn feeds on the Sun, the star meets the month. The dumb one gave birth to my enemies, the blind one gathered my enemies. She closed their eyes, forgot to open them. As God's river breaks the sands, as it erodes the steep banks, so wash away, scatter the mind - the mind of my enemies. For now, forever, indefinitely. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen."
