Who should light candles in church?

Nowadays, many people attend churches only when absolutely necessary. And very often the question arises, which saint to turn to to get help.

In the modern world, we simply do not have enough time to study all church traditions. Therefore, when we come to church, it can be very difficult for us to get our bearings and decide who to light the candles to. Of course, there is a general prayer, to the Lord God or the Holy Trinity, which can be addressed in any situation. But there are also other saints who can help in a specific matter.

To whom and in what situations should candles be lit?

Of course, everyone's situation is individual. But still they can be divided into several general topics.

Family life and love issues arise for almost all of us. Moreover, situations can be completely different and sometimes practically impossible to resolve.

In such cases, it is customary to pray Saint Matrona, which most often responds to requests for marriage and pregnancy. Contacting her is quite simple. The main thing is that your desire is sincere and comes from the heart: “Matronushka, mother. Hear my request and help me improve my personal life. Amen. Amen. Amen".

Another strong assistant in love affairs is Saint Xenia of Petersburg. She is mainly approached by young girls and wives whose marriage is on the verge of breaking down. This saint helps quite quickly, and after turning to her, everything is successfully resolved in the shortest possible time: “Blessed Ksenia, I stand before you and pray for help. Send sincere, pure and mutual love into my life. So that happiness and harmony reign in the family. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen".


The icon is also known for its miraculous powers Murom Saints Peter and Fevronia. They are the role models for happy and harmonious relationships and also fulfill requests for marriage: “Saints Peter and Fevronia, I trust in your mercy and ask for help in a happy marriage. Send me mutual love and let me experience the happiness of family life. Amen. Amen. Amen".

Many people very often have questions about monetary abundance and wealth. For financial situations you can contact Saint Spyridon of Trimyfutsky, who during his lifetime dealt with financial issues and financially helped those in need. But even after death, his support is felt, and the relics of the saint never cease to amaze and work miracles.

“Oh, Wonderworker Spyridon of Trimyfutsky. You were famous for your kindness and generosity during life and after death you never cease to help everyone who needs you. I pray you, deliver me from poverty and poverty, help me improve my situation and attract wealth into my life. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen".

If you come to church asking for your recovery or your loved ones, then you need to contact Saint Panteleimon the Healer. He is the patron saint of all doctors and heals even the most serious illnesses.

“I turn to you, Saint Panteleimon, for help. Please grant health to me and all my loved ones. Protect us from illness and disease and give us strength and joy. Amen".
