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.

We celebrate birthdays 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 spiritual development 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

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, walking through 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 how you lived your day a certain month, so 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. Who is named after Orthodox calendar they read a prayer to the saint in whose honor it is named.

Prayer service to the Guardian Angel
A Guardian Angel is given to everyone from birth. It protects both the physical and spiritual shell of a person. To remember his daily presence means to be bolder, more resourceful, more courageous. Your requests to the Almighty will be heard faster, since invisible protectors take care of your well-being, praying to the Lord for your salvation and happiness.
The Guardian may refuse to protect you if you violate God’s Commandments, lead an immoral lifestyle, or do not comply with Orthodox traditions. It is possible to return his mercy if a person takes the path of the righteous and corrects previous mistakes.
A Guardian Angel can be given at birth or at Baptism. This will be the name of the Saint corresponding to your name and date of birth (baptism). If you were born in December with the name . Then your Guardian Angel will be Nikolai Ugodnik (Wonder Worker). The date of his commemoration is December 6 and 19.
Many people do not suspect how many Angels protect them, and who exactly these protectors are. These could be your ancestors, deceased relatives, people to whom you were very dear and close in this life. Therefore, in front of the icons it is worth saying words of gratitude to all invisible Angels. A prayer to an Angel can dispel fear, instill confidence that you have support, protect you from misfortune, cleanse your soul, body and mind from unnecessary vanity, drive away enemies, and lead you away from troubles.
Such prayers help to find love, get rid of loneliness, find your purpose and get a job you love. Angels also help to atone for your sins before the Lord.
The most powerful prayer is the morning one. It will be like a sip fresh air on your name day. Don't be surprised if you dream the day before prophetic dream, and it will be very pleasant for you. Don’t be afraid to ask the Angel for something, but don’t forget to thank him for his help.

Prayer service on the birthday of the deceased
It turns out that according to Orthodox customs, a person must be remembered not only on the day of his death, but also on his birthday. It is not necessary to visit the cemetery on this day. But mentioning your soul mate before the Lord should be done with reverence. Be grateful that this person lived next to you. To do this, you can come to the Temple the day before and submit a note for the repose of the soul of the deceased.
You can bring food to church for remembrance. Usually these are sweets, pastries and what the relative loved during his lifetime. Light the candles and stand with the Saints. And remember at home kind words at your loved one's lunch or dinner.
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 my favorites Orthodox people prayers - sincere repentance before the Lord on your birthday.
Prayer "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 in an unspeakable way.
Your 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."
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 one is remembered) 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 or after the celebration, 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; there are special services for this purpose. parents' Saturdays, but remembering a kindred soul 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 on the eve of his name day to Orthodox church 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 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.
