You showed such miracles of mercy in the days of your life. When, after your death, you appeared before the Throne of God, no one can count your mercies, even if you had many languages. You keep those floating on the waters; You saved many drowning people.
You keep them on the road, which were caught by the winds, great snow, fierce frost, and heavy rain. You protect houses and estates from being set on fire by evil-minded people and from ultimate burning. You protect creatures on the way from the attacks of evildoers.
You help the poor and wretched, deliver them from extreme despondency and fall from grace, for the sake of poverty. You stand up for the innocent from slander and unjust condemnation. You saved from death three men who were imprisoned and who were to be cut with the sword.
So, you have been given the great grace from God to pray for people and save those in trouble! You have also become famous for your help among the infidel Hagarians. Can’t you just help me, unfortunate and needy, even if I myself have prepared this lot for myself?
Intercede for me from the despondency and despair that surrounds me in evil. Oh, great saint Nicholas! You yourself suffered imprisonment in prison for the holy faith and, like a zealous shepherd of Christ, you yourself knew how difficult it is to be deprived of freedom and to remain in chains.
Since you have helped many who pray to you in prison! Make this misfortune easier for me, who is sitting in prison. Grant me to soon see the end of my prison stay and receive freedom - not for the sake of continuing my sins, but for the sake of correcting my life!
Pray earnestly for this too, that we may be delivered from eternal prison, that with your help we may be saved, I glorify God, wondrous in His saints, amen.”
Persecution of Christians. Trials of the Great Martyr Anastasia
Saint Anastasia once met a young pious widow named Theodosia. She became a faithful assistant for the Pattern Maker. Together they bribed the jailers. Visiting prisons, they healed the sick and wounded, brought food to prisoners, consoled those sentenced to death, strengthened faith in them, and gave communion to those departing to another world. The icon of St. Anastasia is painted like this - the Pattern Maker holds in her hands a vessel with sacred oil and a cross.
Soon both women went to Sirmium, where Christians were subjected to particularly severe persecution. Diocletian ordered the execution of all Christian prisoners. Arriving in the dungeon in the morning and seeing it empty, Anastasia began to lament loudly and sob. It became clear to the jailers that she was a Christian. They captured her and sent her to the ruler of the region. Having learned that Anastasia belonged to a noble Roman family, they sent her for questioning to the emperor himself, because only he could decide her fate. Diocletian once knew her father, Senator Praetextatus. Through persuasion, the emperor persuaded the maiden to renounce the Christian faith, and was interested in the inheritance left from her father. Anastasia admitted that she spent her entire fortune on supporting Christian prisoners. Unable to break the will of the young woman, the emperor again sent her to Iliria. The ruler of the region handed over Anastasia to the high priest Ulpian.
The cunning Ulpian confronted Anastasia with a choice. Luxury - gold, beautiful clothes, precious stones - on the one hand, and on the other - severe suffering and torture. His vile deceit was put to shame, the maiden rejected riches and preferred torment for the sake of her faith. The Lord supported Anastasia and extended her life path. The crafty priest was wounded by the beauty and purity of Saint Anastasia and decided to desecrate her honor. But as soon as he touched her, he immediately became blind. Mad with pain, Ulpian rushed headlong to the pagan temple; all the way he cried out to his idols for help, but fell along the way and gave up the ghost.
Prayer to Anastasia the Pattern Maker from court and prison
This prayer should be read by a person who has been unjustly convicted. However, this does not mean that a loved one asking for a loved one cannot turn to Anastasia the Pattern Maker.
Anastasia the Patternmaker’s prayer for liberation helps if the person praying asks for:
release from prison; successful court decision; protection from an unfair verdict; a milder outcome.
It is not necessary to memorize the text of the prayer. The most important thing is to rethink your life, change something to make it better. Before turning to the saints, you need to understand yourself. Reading a prayer will not bring results if a person is not sincere. First of all, the condemned person must realize that the saint will not help someone who will only rely on outside help.
God may not hear the requests of an unrepentant person. It happens that in his entire life he rarely went to church, led a dissolute life, and when trouble happened, he runs to the temple with a prayer to protect him from trial. Of course, in such a situation one cannot count on God’s power.
A person must admit guilt, repent and suffer a well-deserved punishment. If he hides from the court and at the same time prays for protection, God will not hear him and will not protect him. Prayer will not help an insincere person. He must comprehend his action himself, understand that he acted badly and accept it.
Who was Saint Anastasia during her lifetime?
The girl was born in Rome into a wealthy family, the girl's father was a pagan, and her mother was a secret Christian. It was she who instilled in Anastasia the love of the Lord, giving her to study with Saint Chrysogon.

Anastasia was a very capable student and everyone noted her high intellectual development. But, unfortunately, Anastasia’s mother did not live long and died. Then her father, without the girl’s permission, decides to marry her to a convinced pagan. But she took a vow of virginity and, in order not to break it, she told her husband about some non-existent illness.
Meanwhile, she dressed as a beggar and went around prisons and helped prisoners. She fed them, guided them on the right path, gave them spiritual strength to stay in prison, bandaged their wounds, and so on. At that time, a very large part of the people were in prison, and Anastasia tried to help everyone, completely devoting herself to this cause.
But she was unable to hide from her own husband for long; when he found out, he severely beat her and locked her in a room, placing two guards on her so that she could not leave it. Anastasia did not have to be locked up for long; after a while her husband died and she, having sold almost all her valuables, began to help all those convicted with even greater force.
Since at that time they were imprisoned for various acts, her mentor was also convicted. She came to him, and he already gave her spiritual strength so that she would continue to help everyone in need. During her travels, Anastasia the Patternmaker found herself a faithful friend who helped people with her. But after some time she was executed along with her children.
For these acts in ancient times, Christians were despised and killed, the same fate happened to Anastasia, she was burned at the stake. Thus ended the martyrdom of Anastasia the Pattern Maker.
Prayer to Saint Spyridon
A prayer to Saint Spyridon will help you avoid difficult disputes in court when protecting property interests, so that the matter will be resolved in your favor.
O blessed Saint Spyridon! Beg the mercy of God, the Lover of Mankind, not to judge us for our iniquities, but to deal with us according to His mercy. Ask us, God's servants (names), from Christ and our God for a peaceful and serene life, mental and physical health. Deliver us from all spiritual and physical troubles, from all yearnings and the devil’s slander. Remember us at the throne of the Almighty and beg the Lord to grant us forgiveness of many of our sins, a comfortable and peaceful life, and grant us a shameless and peaceful death and eternal bliss in the future, so that we may continually send glory and thanksgiving to the Father and the Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
After the verdict, whatever it may be, the church recommends thanking God and the saints for their help and accepting the outcome as it is. After all, the ways of God are inscrutable, and every event has a positive educational effect on a person. It is not without reason that they say that God sends as many trials as a person can endure.
Who should I pray for a quick release from prison?
The prayer request will not be fulfilled immediately.
Prayer for a successful outcome
Perhaps a week, a month, a year will pass. The circumstances necessary for the fulfillment of a desire must line up harmoniously, and this takes a lot of time.

Prayer to Anastasia the Pattern MakerPrayer for imminent releasePrayer before trial
While waiting for a long time for the cherished request, it is important not to lose faith and not to denigrate your soul.
Prisoners who dream of an imminent release can pray as follows:
Prayer to the Almighty
Lord Jesus Christ my God, who freed Thy holy Apostle Peter from chains and from prison without any harm, accept my humble prayer. Be merciful in forgiving the sins of Thy servant (Thy servant), unworthy (name), imprisoned. Lord, philanthropic! With Your all-powerful right hand, protect me from all evil and lead me to freedom. All-merciful Lord! Just as you once gloriously freed Joseph, imprisoned in Egypt, so now I pray to You to deliver me from bonds and bitter misfortune. Mercy is the source and the abyss of goodness, do not despise Your unworthy servant (name), hear me and have mercy quickly. Let the sigh of the bound one ascend to You. Almighty God! Just as Manasseh, the eldest son of Joseph, had mercy on him from the bitter imprisonment of prayers, have mercy on him who is now praying. I send up glory to you, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
icon of the Mother of God
Prisoner's prayer to the Mother of God:
Oh, Most Holy Virgin, Mother of my Lord and Savior! All people flow to You, and no one who flows away from You is in vain, even if he asks for good. The bishops and priests pray to Thee, for Thou art the Mother of the Great Bishop, who passed through the heavens. Monks and nuns pray to Thee, for Thou art the Most Pure Virgin. Fathers and mothers pray to Thee, and they sympathize with their children, who lie in weakness or live far away, as You Yourself painfully sought for Your Son, when He, a twelve-year-old boy, remained in Jerusalem. They pray to You for insult, as You suffered persecution from Herod with the Divine Child. The dying offer their last prayer to You, as You stood before the Cross of Your dying Son. The righteous and all who want to live piously pray to Thee; and no one from them has achieved righteousness without having a prayer book for Thee. Thus, everyone has You as a zealous intercessor, and You give quick help to everyone.
Am I the only sinner sitting in prison who will be forgotten by You? Will you not hear my only prayer? Will you not accept me, who comes running to You, under Your roof? Oh, I can’t even imagine this happening. Because you are the Mother of the Savior of perishing sinners. For there is no other God except Jesus Christ, Your Son, with the Father and the Holy Spirit in the One Godhead worshiped. There is no other intercessor at the Throne of God like You, Mother of God! Maternal prayer can do a lot for the mercy of the Lord. Before Him, all things are possible for You. For this reason, I place all my hope in You according to Bose. For this reason, I preserve Your most pure image in my prison, remembering Your closeness to all those who mourn and are imprisoned.
Moreover, You, Mother of God, have shown me many mercies to this day at my request to You! Why did I appear before You? Alas for me, the evil one! I am unmemorial of Your good deeds. But, O merciful Queen Theotokos, forgive me for my betrayals and foolishness, do not reject me as I return to You, show me Your ancient mercy and accept me into Your powerful hands, even if I am in pain, or if I am barely alive from the wounds of sin. Bring my sinful soul to repentance. For my iniquities have exceeded my head. How many times have I angered my God with lies, thefts, drunkenness, sedition, hardness of heart, and lack of conscience. I continually sin in this prison with laziness, daydreaming, deceit, disobedience, annoying my fellow prisoners and corrupting them, thieves and murmuring about my fate. To this day I have not had any tears, no tenderness, or I have only cried out of my chagrin.
Reconcile me, O Blessed One, with God, Your Son. Grant me permission to receive permission for all my sins in the mystery of repentance, and to partake of the Holy Body and Blood of Your Son. Help me from now on to hate my evil passions and vigorously fight against sin; Even if I repent, little by little I do the same thing, and I find myself deceitful before God. Ask me, Lady Theotokos, for the grace to end the rest of my life in firm repentance. Merciful to sinners, do not despise the least of them. See my troubles, see my bitter life in this prison. Help me to endure my shame, cramped conditions and other prison hardships to the end, so that I do not fall into despair, so that I do not dare to blaspheme God’s Providence, but only grieve and cry for my sins, only because of my sadness for my children and relatives, from them I am separated, I turn to consolation in prayer. I have no patience and every day I think that the end of my patience has come. Oh, unknown consolation for the sad! Comfort my father and mother and my relatives, who grieve for me, for whom I have done as if I were dead. Most of all, O child-loving Mother! do not deprive your protection of my wife and children, whom I have abandoned like a criminal father, since they are not to blame for my sins. Nourish them and keep them healthy and God-fearing through Your prayer. Grant me, finally, to see freedom and kiss my family with tears of joy. From the depths of my soul I cry out to You, Queen of Heaven, from one image of You with the eternal Child in Your hand held, feel joy in my heart: do not reject me, be my patroness in all my needs, in all my fear and despondency, day and night , in health and sickness. Ease my mental and physical sorrows, for You are the joy of all who mourn. Be merciful to me not only here, but also there, in the eternal land. Do not leave me without Your intercession on the day of the Terrible Second Coming of my Lord. Hey, Most Holy Theotokos! Then do not forget my faith towards You, and my unworthy prayers before You. Yes, having been pardoned by You for eternal times, I will thank You and glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever, amen.
John the Baptist
Petition to John the Baptist
To the Baptist of Christ, preacher of repentance, do not despise me who repents, but copulating with the heavenly ones, pray to the Lady for me, unworthy, sad, weak and sad, fallen into many troubles, burdened by the stormy thoughts of my mind: for I am a den of evil deeds, by no means have an end to sinful customs; For my mind is nailed down by earthly things. What will I do, I do not know, and to whom will I resort, so that my soul will be saved? Only to you, Saint John, give the same name of grace, as you are before the Lord, according to the Mother of God, greater than all who are born, for you were deemed worthy to touch the top of the King Christ, who takes away the sins of the world, the Lamb of God: pray for Him for my sinful soul, so from now on , at the first ten hour, I will bear a good burden and receive compensation with the last.
To her, the Baptist of Christ, the honest Forerunner, the ultimate prophet, the first martyr in grace, the teacher of fasters and hermits, the teacher of purity and the close friend of Christ, I pray to you, I resort to you, do not reject me from your intercession, but raise me up, having fallen into many sins; renew my soul with repentance, as with the second baptism, of which you are the ruler: with baptism you wash away sin, and preach repentance for the cleansing of every bad deed; Cleanse me with the sins of the defiled and force me to enter, even if nothing bad enters, into the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen.
A prisoner's prayer to his Guardian Angel
Angel of God, stand before me from the font of holy baptism! How much am I, I have grieved you with evil thoughts, nasty words and shameful deeds in my life! To whom, we do not remember, as I am your guardian given to us by God. Whenever I got drunk on wine, or danced shamelessly, or in fornication, theft and ill-gaining, I depended on my life: and in these days you did not leave me, but only, like a pure spirit, you were sad about me, an indecent servant. If many of you were close to death, commit criminal deeds and never even think of suddenly appearing before God the Judge! Death did not comprehend me then: and we know that you turned me away from me. Thus you protect me, and I am not alone, I always live alone in this prison, but with you, my guardian. Even though I do not see you with my bodily eyes, you remain ever abiding to my damned soul and body. Just as the sun, passing through bad places, is not defiled, so you, luminous Angel of God, do not abhor my stench, but never separate from me in this prison. Keep me healthy at night and unapproachable to the devil’s temptation in my sleep. Take away the sleeplessness from me. Accompany me throughout the days, at every hour, in all my entrances and exits. Grant me the strength of bodily strength to bear the bitter work imposed on me as punishment, and even more bitter through their fault. Protect me from the malice of demons, who fiercely attack my soul: for at a single wave of your right hand the demons flee. Most of all, take away from me mental confusion and harmful murmurs: I am troubled in my heart, I don’t want to look favorably on anyone or anything, and I’m always upset here. Grant to my eyes tears for sins, and to my lips quiet speech. Do not step away from me, holy Angel, and when my soul begins to separate from the body, but stand before my deathbed, quiet and joyful; for then the imam will see you close to existence. Do not forsake my soul afterward, which was betrayed by God without blemish, but which after my death is liable to be judged, as if it were defiled by many sins. Oh, my keeper! Then call upon other incorporeal powers to pray for me, so that through your intercession I will have mercy, sinful servant (name), forever and ever, amen!
Saint Nicholas
Request to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker
Oh, great wonderworker and servant of Christ, Saint Father Nicholas! You, the quick helper and gracious intercessor of all who call upon you, especially those in mortal troubles.
You showed such miracles of mercy in the days of your life. When, after your death, you appeared before the Throne of God, no one can count your mercies, even if you had many languages. You keep those floating on the waters; You saved many drowning people.
You keep them on the road, which were caught by the winds, great snow, fierce frost, and heavy rain. You protect houses and estates from being set on fire by evil-minded people and from ultimate burning. You protect creatures on the way from the attacks of evildoers.
You help the poor and wretched, deliver them from extreme despondency and fall from grace, for the sake of poverty. You stand up for the innocent from slander and unjust condemnation. You saved from death three men who were imprisoned and who were to be cut with the sword.
So, you have been given the great grace from God to pray for people and save those in trouble! You have also become famous for your help among the infidel Hagarians. Can’t you just help me, unfortunate and needy, even if I myself have prepared this lot for myself?
Intercede for me from the despondency and despair that surrounds me in evil. Oh, great saint Nicholas! You yourself suffered imprisonment in prison for the holy faith and, like a zealous shepherd of Christ, you yourself knew how difficult it is to be deprived of freedom and to remain in chains.
Since you have helped many who pray to you in prison! Make this misfortune easier for me, who is sitting in prison. Grant me to soon see the end of my prison stay and receive freedom - not for the sake of continuing my sins, but for the sake of correcting my life!
Pray earnestly for this too, that we may be delivered from eternal prison, that with your help we may be saved, I glorify God, wondrous in His saints, amen.
Holy Martyr Anastasia the Pattern Maker
Prayer for Anastasia the Pattern Maker not to be sent to prison
O long-suffering and wise great martyr of Christ Anastasia! You stand with your soul in heaven at the Throne of the Lord, and on earth, by the grace given to you, you perform various healings: look mercifully at the people who are coming and praying before your relics, asking for your help: extend your holy prayers to the Lord for us, and ask us for forgiveness our sins, healing for the sick, quick help for the grieving and needy: pray to the Lord to give us all a Christian death and a good answer at His Last Judgment, so that we may be worthy to glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit with you forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer to Matrona the Wonderworker for release from prison
It is necessary to always remember that no matter what sin a person commits, he cannot be deprived of faith! It should always be in every human soul. To save yourself from imprisonment, you can ask for the intercession of the Matrona of Moscow. The following prayer words should be read before her face:
“Blessed Matryonushka, You rescued the captive doctor Sergius from prison through prayer. He became Bishop Stephen, and remembering You all his life, first of his father and mother, he accepted a blessed death in the altar, on the week of the Myrrh-Bearing Women.
Look now at the captive, suffering servant of God (name), in his difficult situation. Beg the Lord of Power to deliver him from bondage, through the prayers of the Blessed Prince Daniel of Moscow to the glory of our Lady, Ever-Virgin Mary, and the bloodless Sacrifice of Her Son, offered daily for peace.
May all his sins be washed away by the blood of the Lamb (3 times). Thou didst command the Myrrh-Bearers to rejoice, Thou didst quench the weeping of the foremother Eve with Thy resurrection, O Christ our God. Thou didst command the Apostles to preach that the Savior is risen from the grave. Amen.”
God bless you!

Who should I pray to so that I don't go to jail?
Since ancient times, the Lord's servants have prayed for prisoners. The degree of the crime committed is not important; any person needs support, if, of course, he deserves it. God himself decides who is worthy of freedom and hope.
Relatives help a loved one in various ways: they visit him, give him permitted things. Moral support is also important. The prisoner feels the spiritual help of loved ones. She helps him overcome adversity.
Prayer against criminal prosecution is also very popular. It should only be read if the person is innocent. There are situations in life when attackers, protecting themselves or their relatives, set up law-abiding citizens. An innocent person has to hide from court and defend his rights.
Practice shows that the court does not always pass a fair verdict, and as a result, an innocent person ends up in prison. In such a situation, the prayer should be read by both the accused and his relatives. Of course, praying against criminal prosecution will not help a truly guilty person.
It is important to know: prayer does not immediately help the convicted person. It may take several months or years for it to gain strength. The main thing for a person is not to lose hope and faith.
When reading a prayer, you can turn to the following saints:
to God himself; to the Mother of the Lord; to John the Baptist; to the Guardian Angel; to Nicholas the Wonderworker; To Anastasia the Pattern Maker.
All of them are patron saints of prisoners.
It is not necessary to pray in a temple in front of the face of a saint. You can do this at home or even at work. It is advisable to know the text by heart. However, if a person is sincere in his words, all of the above fades into the background.
The main condition is to focus on prayer and sincerely turn to the saint. What is important is not the setting and accuracy of the text, but the pure feelings of the person praying.
