History and meaning of prayer
The family is an integral unit of society, occupying an important place in the life of every person and having great significance. Relationships between spouses are built on trust, understanding and love. The support of a loved one will help you perk up and find a way out of any, sometimes even the most difficult and hopeless situation.
Family troubles cause frequent quarrels and conflicts, understanding between spouses disappears and trust is lost. In such conditions, family breakdown is only a matter of time. However, you should not give up and despair if you want to save your family, restore trusting relationships and try to build happiness anew.
In the Orthodox faith, there are many sacred scriptures to our Savior Jesus Christ, the Most Pure Virgin Mary, the holy great martyrs and guardian angels about preserving marriage and establishing pious relationships between spouses. Prayers to the holy great martyrs Guria, Samon and Aviv have enormous power, according to the statements of clergy and Orthodox Christians who believe in the Lord God.
You can pray to the holy saints Guria, Samon and Aviv, who are the patrons of matrimony, marriage, a happy family and married women:
- about finding family happiness and a successful marriage;
- on preserving the bonds of marriage and pious relations between spouses;
- about protection from accidental death.
You can read prayer texts in Orthodox churches during services or at home, secluded in front of the image of the holy great martyrs. All thoughts of a praying Christian must be sincere and sincere, every word of the sacred text comes from the heart. Hatred and anger in the soul, lack of faith, unwillingness to open up before the Lord God will not bring such a desired result - the prayer will not be heard by the Higher powers.
The clergy recommend calming your body and soul, detaching yourself from worldly affairs and everyday worries, secluded yourself in a room and tune in to a conversation with the Almighty. You can light a church candle in front of the shrine, which brings peace and tranquility. First, the prayer “Our Father” is read, then a prayer appeal to saints Guria, Samon and Aviv for the preservation of marriage and the restoration of pious relationships. At the end of the prayer ritual, it is necessary to bow to the higher powers and make a speech of gratitude to our Savior Jesus Christ.
Gury, Samon and Aviv, who lived in Edessa during the reign of Emperor Diocletian, known for his persecution of Christian believers, sacredly believed in God's grace and revered the Lord God. By order of the emperor, who did not recognize Christianity, Deacon Aviv and two preachers of God - Gury and Samon - were captured. They received an offer from Diocletian to renounce the Christian faith and sacrifice to pagan idols.
Not wanting to renounce their faith and continuing to believe in the protection and intercession of the Lord God, Christians denied paganism. For disobeying the emperor, they were subjected to severe torture and severe torture. Respectable townspeople of the Christian faith betrayed the bodies of the holy great martyrs to the earth.
The story of Aviv, who did not betray his faith
The young man Aviv was a deacon in the church of Edessa, the same city where Gury and Samon lived. Although he lived a little later, he also suffered persecution of Christians under another emperor, Licinius. A denunciation was submitted to the ruler that Aviv professed Christianity.
According to legend, Aviv voluntarily came to the city chief Fetekn so that other people would not suffer during the search for him, which earned Fetekn’s respect. He even suggested that he flee, but the saint refused. He also refused to make sacrifices to the pagan gods, for which he was burned alive, and according to legend, he himself went to the stake. When the fire went out, the saint’s body turned out to be unharmed.
Mother buried Aviva next to the eternal resting place of Guria and Samon. Subsequently, a temple dedicated to these three saints was built on this site, and their relics were placed in one tomb. Although they suffered martyrdom at different times, they have the same day of execution. The memory of the saints is honored on November 28.
