Svichka.org · 2026-09-19

A candle for the repose of the soul is a sign of remembrance and a prayer for the departed soul. Order a candle for the repose free of charge — we will place it in the church.

What a Candle for the Repose Means

A candle for the repose is a prayer for the departed soul, a sign of remembrance and love that overcomes death. It is placed on the kanun — a special table in the church.

When to Place a Candle for the Repose

On the 9th and 40th day, on the anniversary of death, on memorial days, on the birthday of the departed. A candle may be placed on any day.

How to Order from Us

Leave a request: name, email, for whom the prayer is offered. We will place a candle in the church and send a photo via Telegram. Free of charge.

For the most fervent prayer, you may order a candle and a sorokoust — 40 days of commemoration at the Liturgy.
