Book excerpt: This booklet contains the texts used by Orthodox Christians for prayer services offered on behalf of the living and the dead, in the form commonly used in the Slavic tradition. The Moleben is a service of supplication or intercession for the living. It may be served on any occasion to invoke the aid of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Mother of God, or the saints. The book includes the unique order of the Paschal Moleben, served during Bright Week. The Panikhida is a memorial service to pray for the blessed repose and salvation of the departed. Traditionally it is said for an individual believer at their death and on the third, ninth, and fortieth day following it, and on the anniversary of their repose.
