However, in order to achieve the desired result, you should first read the prayer for the acceptance of holy water and prosphora. The petition will allow you to cleanse your soul, drive away negative thoughts and energy, and lean towards doing good deeds and deeds.
Reception of bread in the temple

Thy mercy, through the prayers of Thy Most Pure Mother and all Thy saints. Amen".
When to take holy water and prosphora
Prosphora - consecrated bread - and agiasma - holy water - are some of the most important shrines in the Orthodox Church. Thanks to their use, the body is quickly cleansed, and spirituality is exalted.
Grains of bread symbolize Church unity with a large number of divisions, and water - the purity and will of God.

And when should you receive shrines? They perform a ceremony and read a prayer for the acceptance of the holy prosphora and water in the morning on an empty stomach. It is important that they do not mix with other foods and drinks.
On the use of holy water

You can take holy water every day. A prerequisite is an empty stomach and morning time. This healing liquid helps to solve many problems. However, it should be remembered that it would be wrong to consider it a panacea for all diseases.
Holy water carries the most powerful energy
Holy water is not drunk from one vessel. It must be poured into a separate container and drunk completely. Before that, you should read a prayer for the reception of holy water. It is necessary to pronounce the words of petition with a pure soul and an open heart.
“Lord, my God, may there be Thy holy gift and Thy holy water for the remission of my sins, for the enlightenment of my mind, for the strengthening of my soul and body, for the health of my soul and body, for the conquest of my passions and weaknesses according to Thy infinite mercy with the prayers of Thy Most Pure Mother and all Thy saints. Amen".
After taking the sacred water, one should read a prayer for healing. Readable.
“O all-holy Nicholas, the most befitting of the Lord, our warm intercessor, and everywhere in sorrow a quick helper, help me, sinful and sad, in this life, pray to the Lord God, grant me the forgiveness of all my sins that have sinned greatly from my youth, in everything my life, deed, word, thought and all my senses; and at the end of my soul, help me to the accursed one, pray to the Lord God of all creatures, the Souterer, to save me from airy ordeals and eternal
torment, so I always glorify the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and yours
merciful intercession, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen".
Holy water can be used to treat wounds and use it in the form of compresses on a sore spot. With the evil eye, they wash their face with it, then wipe it with the seamy side of the clothes.
Water can be stored forever. It does not deteriorate, it remains clean, incorruptible, as if it had just been scooped up from a holy source.

Why does the Church consecrate water
Water is one of the most important components of our life. It has healing power, which has been repeatedly pointed out in the Bible.
To receive holy water, you need to hold a special church rite. It is performed on January 18 (evening) and 19. Only after this can water be considered a sacred drink.
To get holy water, you need to hold a special church rite
In the days of the New Testament, water was considered a sacred object, which revived life and turned it into righteous, grace-filled, pure, freed from sins.
Jesus Christ himself, in the process of communicating with Nicodemus, said:
"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God."
At the beginning of his ministry, He received the rite of Baptism from John the Baptist, which was held in the Jordan River.
Water is mentioned in the songs dedicated to the feast of Epiphany. It says:
"The Lord" gives purification by water to the human race ";
"You have sanctified the jets of the Jordan, you have crushed the sinful state, Christ our God ...".
Through consecration, water returns to its original holiness and purity. And prayer gives her strength, the power of the Word of God, the blessing of the Holy Spirit.
Why is water blessed in special vessels
Everything that happens in the church has some meaning. So is the vessel in which the water is sanctified. It has tremendous symbolic meaning. The container represents God's grace, and its rounded base represents the heavenly Church.
The chalice in which the main action takes place is similar to the chalice - a container used during the liturgy. On one side of the vessel there are small hollows for candles. In total, during the ceremony, you will need 3 of them.
The baptismal font is also of great ecclesiastical significance. This vessel is much larger than the blessed one and is equipped with a high stand.

Conditions for the reception of prosphora and holy water
Prosphora is served after the end of the Christian service, during which the rite of the Eucharist is performed. Before this, a prayer is read for the acceptance of the prosphora. Next, antidores (small pieces of bread) are taken out into the hall.
During the reception, the person's hands should be positioned so that the palms are on the shoulders. In this case, the right hand should be on top of the left.
Antidors (small pieces of bread).
When biting off, you need to put a clean napkin, plate or handkerchief so that the pieces of bread do not end up on the floor. After giving alms, you need to kiss the hand of the monk who served the sacred food. After the eaten prosphora is washed down with blessed water.

Prosphora and sacred water should not be accepted by people who do not believe in God. It is not allowed to treat unbaptized people with bread.
Church bread is made only from wheat flour with the addition of blessed water. Yeast is also a part of church bread.
The prosphora consists of two parts
The prosphora consists of two parts. The first symbolizes the earth, and the second symbolizes the sky. Each of the parts is prepared separately, then they are connected. Above is depicted the face of the Mother of God or a four-pointed cross, and next to it is the inscription "XC" (Jesus Christ).
Teaches us that God's Grace is poured out on people in different ways. Sometimes this happens through material and quite real objects, for example, icons or objects. Sometimes - through the blessing of a priest. Sometimes believers receive grace-filled energy through prosphora and holy water, namely believers, since only by faith can God's help be sent down. Therefore, prosphora are inseparable from prayer.
What is prosphora
Those who have been to the church have seen these small round loaves, decorated on top with a cross or other sacred symbolism. They are received in a candle shop and carried home for themselves and their loved ones. The tasting of such loaves is preceded by a prayer for the reception of prosphora and holy water. They came to us from the first centuries of Christianity. Translated from Greek, "prosphora" means "offering." Once upon a time, believers, gathering for a common prayer service, brought bread with them as a donation. The deacons received him and entered the names of the donors into special lists. Then special prayers were offered for them. From these depths of history came the prayer before accepting the prosphora.
Consecration of water
To consecrate the water, a special ceremony is performed. The priest lowers the cross into the water three times, accompanying his actions with a special prayer. This is not a prayer before accepting holy water, but a prayer for its illumination. As a result, water becomes a carrier of Divine energy. With its help, ailments are healed and evil force is driven away. In dwellings sprinkled with holy water, the spiritual atmosphere is improved.
Prayer for the acceptance of prosphora and holy water
According to tradition, prosphora and holy water are taken on an empty stomach in the morning. The reason lies not in the physiology of our body, because we are not talking about conventional medicines. The meaning here is purely symbolic: the day begins with a shrine. In addition, once in the stomach, holiness bearers should not mix with ordinary food.
However, the most important component of such a morning ritual is the prayer for the reception of prosphora and holy water. But it should not be formal, not a mechanical reading of the text, but an appeal to God with sincere faith and love. Without this, all efforts are in vain. The Lord bestows grace on all people, but only a believing person is able to receive it.
The prayer begins with a request from the Almighty for the enlightenment of the mind. This is understandable, because in worldly life, and even more so in spiritual life, clarity and sobriety of thought are necessary. A person with a sleeping mind is equally far from both material and spiritual values.
Further, the prayer for the acceptance of prosphora and holy water includes a very important point, this is a prayer for the transmission of spiritual and physical forces. In religious terms, there is no contradiction between them - both for ordinary earthly life, and for serving the Lord, both of them will be required.
Following the request for strength for the soul and body, health is requested for them. Here health should be understood not only as the absence of ailments, but also as deliverance from sins, because according to the teaching of the church, diseases are sent to us precisely for sins. The Lord keeps us from them, but, being mired in sins, we ourselves turn away from His help.
The prayer ends with a petition to remove from us destructive passions, as well as bodily and spiritual infirmities. In sending down what is asked, hope is expressed in the prayers of the Most Pure Virgin Mary and all the saints.
Prayer for happiness
The prayer for the acceptance of prosphora and holy water is small in terms of the volume of the text, but unusually deep in content. Reason, spiritual and physical strength, health and freedom from harmful passions and infirmities - this is what is necessary for human happiness. They ask the Lord for the gift of all this, reading a prayer.
Today, prosphora is prepared in small bakeries established at the temples. They are called prosphora. The rules for their baking and the composition of the constituent components are very strictly established. This is a responsible business, and therefore it is entrusted only to pious people. Prosphora are also needed at the liturgy for the preparation of holy firewood, which is then used during the sacrament of the Sacrament.
All our life next to us is a great shrine - holy water. Consecrated water is an image of God's grace: it cleanses believers from spiritual defilements, sanctifies and strengthens them for the deed of salvation in God. We plunge into it for the first time in baptism, when, when receiving this sacrament, we are immersed three times in a font filled with holy water. Holy water in the sacrament of baptism washes away the sinful impurities of a person, renews and revives him into a new life in Christ.
Holy water is necessarily present at the consecration of temples and all items used in worship, at the consecration of residential buildings, buildings, any household item. We are sprinkled with holy water in processions of the cross, during prayer services. On the day of the Epiphany, every Orthodox Christian carries home a vessel with holy water, carefully preserves it as the greatest shrine, prayerfully partaking of holy water in sickness and any kind of infirmity.
Epiphany water, like Holy Communion, is accepted by believers only on an empty stomach. "Consecrated water," as St. Demetrius of Kherson wrote, "has the power to sanctify the souls and bodies of all who use it." She, accepted with faith and prayer, heals our bodily diseases. Holy water extinguishes the flame of passions, drives away evil spirits - that is why they sprinkle holy water on the dwelling and every thing that is sanctified. The Monk Seraphim, after the confessions of the pilgrims, always gave them to eat from the cup of the holy Epiphany water. The Monk Ambrose sent a bottle of holy water to a terminally ill man, and to the amazement of the doctors, the incurable disease disappeared.
Elder Hieroschemamonk Seraphim Vyritsky always advised to sprinkle food and food itself with Jordanian (Epiphany) water, which, in his words, "sanctifies everything by itself." When someone was very ill, Elder Seraphim blessed to take a tablespoon of consecrated water every hour. The elder said that medicines are stronger than holy water and blessed oil - no.
It can be argued that there is not a single stream of water in the world, not a single drop that would not be sanctified, spiritually fertilized by prayer, blessed and, consequently, that would not be life-giving and saving for people, animals, birds and the earth itself. If we always did as the Church and the Word of God teach us, then the grace-filled gifts of the Holy Spirit would constantly be poured out on us, then each source would be for us a source of healing from bodily and mental ailments, each cup of water would serve as purification and enlightenment, "Water of healing and rest", holy water. But it doesn't work that way. They get sick from water, water becomes a dangerous, deadly and destructive element. Why tap water - and holy water does not help us! Are the prayers of the Church powerless?
When God intended to punish the first world with water, then He told Noah: “The end of all flesh has come
before Me, for the earth is filled with violence by them; and, behold, I will destroy them from the earth ... I will bring a flood of water on the earth to destroy all flesh, in which is the spirit of life, under heaven; everything that is on earth will lose life ”(Genesis 6, 13. 17). These words can be applied to our day as well. Do not be surprised that water does not heal, does not bring benefits. What is surprising here, when the main sacrament - the Eucharist, the acceptance of the Body and Blood of the Lord - serves many not for salvation, but for condemnation ... "He who eats and drinks unworthily, he eats and drinks condemnation to himself, without reasoning about the Body of the Lord" ( 1 Cor. 11:29).
Miracles and healings still occur today. But only those who receive it with a living faith in the promises of God and the power of the prayer of the Holy Church, those who have a pure and sincere desire to change their lives, repentance, and salvation are rewarded with the miraculous effects of holy water. God does not work miracles where they want to see them only out of curiosity, without a sincere intention to use them for their salvation. A wicked and adulterous generation, the Savior said about his unbelieving contemporaries, is looking for a sign; and no sign will be given to him.
In order for the holy water to be beneficial, we will take care of the purity of the soul, of the lightness of thoughts and deeds. And with every touch of holy water, we will raise this prayer in our mind and heart.
Prayer for the acceptance of prosphora and holy water
O Lord my God, may Thy holy gift and Thy holy water be for the forgiveness of my sins, for the enlightenment of my mind, for the strengthening of my soul and body, for the health of my soul and body, for the conquest of my passions and weaknesses, according to Thy infinite mercy with the prayers of the Prayer.

In an aggravation of the disease, holy water must be taken every hour while reading this prayer. In addition, in the morning and in the evening after taking the treatment with holy water, one should read the prayer of the Mother of God "Healer".

I want to tell you about the miraculous healing with holy water and prayer
Twenty years ago I began to notice that on my right heel in the very center of it I had a formation, like a circle, the size of a pea. I thought maybe I scratched my heel somewhere and calmed down on that. The neoplasm did not bother me much, but after two years I noticed that the old sore had begun to grow. Now her size was two peas. I put my legs on, looked at the heel and saw that the circle had exfoliated, separate roots began to be seen. It became clear to me that this is a guska (wart). She began to shave and pluck it.
Two more years passed. The wart has become the size of a thumbnail.
She began to engage in treatment more intensively: she pulled it out, smeared it with celandine, shaved it off, dripped vinegar essence onto it, applied urine at night, but, alas, nothing helped. Soon I was completely exhausted - there were no positive results and I stopped doing anything at all. I thought: come what may!
Another month passed ...
One evening I was reading The Life of Eldress Matrona. The book described how she treated people with prayer and holy water. I also decided to try to undergo treatment like this. In addition, I remembered that the Bible says that the apostles were healed by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
On Sunday, she locked herself in the room, having prepared two napkins and two cups of holy water in advance. In one cup there was water consecrated for Ivan Kupala, and in the other - consecrated for Epiphany. By that time, I already had three large warts on my heel and many small ones around them. I sat down on the sofa, read "Our Father", crossed myself 3 times, then dipped a napkin in baptismal water, put it on my heel and said: “In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit, remove the illness and pain from my body and never again come back. Amen". She held a napkin for a little, took it off, took another one, dipped it into the Kupala water, put it on her heel and said again: “In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, let life-giving strength, health and vigor flow into my body, and there will never be a place of pain again. ". After 5 minutes, I took off the napkin. That was the end of the treatment.
In the morning, having examined the heel and not seeing any changes, I went to work. She did not tell anyone about her treatment, and after a week she forgot about everything. But after a while, when washing my feet, I began to carefully examine the heel and saw that it was completely clean. I didn't even believe it. I also asked my niece Lyuba to take a closer look. She examined the heel and said that it was very clean and pink, like a child's.
This is how I got rid of the warts that tormented me for many years in one go. Now I tell everyone about my miraculous healing and advise you to be treated with holy water.
Another incident happened with my sister Tatyana.
About fifteen years old, she was found to have fibromatous nodes measuring 13 and 18 mm, located opposite each other. In addition, there were many other small nodules between them. Sometimes she had dizziness, pain and cramps in the lower abdomen, and with each intercourse - a little bleeding. When the sister became very ill, she went to the hospital. There, after undergoing an ultrasound scan, my sister found out about her illness. The doctor prescribed capsules of some kind of dietary supplement for the treatment, but they were incredibly expensive for her, and her sister could not get this medicine. Then I advised her to try to heal with holy water.
And Tatiana began to douche in the morning and in the evening. After reading "Our Father" and saying: "In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit, remove a terrible disease from my body and never return," the sister doused with baptismal water, and after 5 minutes with bathing water, while saying: "In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit, let beneficial power pour into my body and heal my insides. "
When she did this in the morning, the water came out clean, and when in the evening, some flakes flew out. So she was treated for 3 days.
And five days later, when I went for an ultrasound scan, there were no knots and nodules, even small ones. The doctor was very surprised and asked what she was being treated with. The sister told her everything. The doctor listened attentively and said with a serious face:
The sister's pains, cramps and bleeding stopped. So faith and prayer relieved her of her sores.
In the same way, my friend Lyuba was cured of fibromatous nodes on my advice. More than ten years have passed since that time, and everything is fine with her.
God bless everyone!

The healing power of holy water
There are many known cases of getting rid of ailments with the help of holy water. Its healing properties can only be denied by people far from the Church. But how can you use holy water in your daily life?
It is customary to drink holy water in the morning on an empty stomach or in the evening before bedtime (but not from the general container).
In case of a very serious illness or if a person is in a state of intense spiritual struggle, despondency, it can be drunk in unlimited quantities, regardless of the meal.
For pain or just a sore spot, you can apply a compress moistened with holy water.
Holy water has great healing power. There are cases when a few drops of such water, poured into the mouth of an unconscious patient, brought him to his senses and changed the course of the disease. But this does not mean at all that you do not need to see a doctor. A special property of holy water is that, added even in small amounts to ordinary water, it imparts beneficial properties to it.
It is advisable to store holy water next to the icon. Please just write on the bottle or put on the appropriate label. Be careful that your loved ones do not inadvertently pour out holy water, or use it inappropriately. It is not necessary to store this water in the refrigerator. Do not keep it next to food.
Animals are not given this water.
You can only sprinkle it on your home (while reading a prayer), a car, or some other thing, also clothes, and even pets.
If the water has deteriorated, it must be poured into a river or other natural source, but not into a sink or sewer. It is poured into an "unsupported" place, that is, into the place where people do not walk (do not trample underfoot) and dogs do not run. You can pour water into the river, you can put it into a flower pot, or you can put it in a clean place under a tree.
HOLY WATER MUST NOT ONLY BE CAREFULLY STORED, BUT ALSO BE USED REGULARLY. It is unacceptable to keep water forever "in reserve" if it was brought from the church once for Baptism on the principle "so that it was in the house, because everyone has it." This is a kind of confinement of the shrine. The grace of holy water does not diminish, no matter how much it is stored, but people who do not turn to the shrine heal themselves.
Once consecrated water is always such. In the case when we have little holy water left, but some significant amount is needed, we can add holy water to ordinary water. All water will be sanctified.
Finally, the most important:
Holy water will not do us any good if we spend our lives far from God. If we want to feel God in our life, to feel His help, His participation in our affairs, we must not only in name, but also in essence become Christians.
Being a Christian means:

© Orthodox prayers, special conspiracies, magic ceremonies and rituals, signs and Orthodox icons
Can an ordinary person read water with a "conspiracy" to heal himself or his loved ones from various diseases?
Some believe that only priests can consecrate water. This is not true. Since ancient times, there has been a special prayer for the consecration of water by the laity (ordinary people). This rank (method of consecration) is taken from an ancient church manuscript service. Here is the text of this prayer:
Prayer for the consecration of water
Great God, work miracles, they are countless! Come to the praying Thy servant, Master: eat Thy Holy Spirit and sanctify this water, and give it the grace of deliverance and the blessing of Jordan; create a source of incorruption, a gift of sanctification, permission by sin, healing of ailments, destruction by a demon, unapproachable to opposing forces, I will fill the Angelic fortress; as if all those who receive and receive from her have for cleansing the soul and body, for healing with harm, for changing passions, for remission of sins, for driving away all evil, for sprinkling and sanctifying houses and for all the like. And even if that water sprinkles this water in the house or in the place of those who live faithfully, may all impurity be washed away, may it rid itself of all harm, may a destructive spirit settle down below it, harm air below it, may any dream and slander of a concealing enemy flee away, but if there is something , hedgehog, or envies the health of the living, or peace, sprinkling this water, let it be reflected. For let be blessed and glorified with Your divine and magnificent name, Father and Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever and ever. Amen.
After reading this prayer, cross the water three times with the words: “In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen". These words are also pronounced three times at each sign of the cross. When I consecrate water for the treatment of people, then necessarily after that I read a prayer over it to one or another saint who has the grace from the Lord to heal this or that ailment. This is done so that the healing effect of water is not general, but specifically directed (through prayers to the saint) to heal a certain disease. You can do the same. Prayers to the saints who have the grace to heal various ailments are contained in the Prayer Word section. '
And now I want to tell you about how to use holy water in the treatment of various ailments. 1.
They drink holy water on an empty stomach - in the morning and in the evening before going to bed. Drink water at a time in three sips (about 50-80 ml). If the disease is very serious, water can be drunk in unlimited quantities, regardless of food intake. Children should also drink water after a sip, with the difference that its amount does not matter for them (from 10 ml or more). Water for reception must be poured so that you can drink it at a time and do not pour the leftovers into the main container. 2.
Before drinking holy water, be sure to read a special prayer (this will strengthen the effect of the water).
Prayer for the acceptance of holy water
O Lord My God, may Thy holy gift and Thy holy water be for the remission of my sins, for the enlightenment of my mind, for the strengthening of my soul and body, for the health of my soul and body, for the conquest of my passions and weaknesses according to Thy boundless mercy with the prayers of Thy Most Pure Mother and all Thy saints. Amen. 3.
After taking holy water, you need to pray for healing from an illness to the saint to whom the Lord gave the gift to heal one or another ailment. If you do not know the cause of your illness, then after taking holy water, read a common prayer for health to the Lord (see the section "Prayer Word"). 4.
If you suffer from insomnia or have bad dreams at night, you should drink holy water before going to bed for at least one month. Sleep is normalized. 5.
With headaches or other pains (sciatica, pain in the spine, etc.), it is necessary not only to drink holy water, but also apply a compress moistened with holy water to the sore spot. 6.
Always remember that the healing properties of holy water are caused by the action of God's Grace, which you invoked in your prayer words (prayers), and the more tangible the help provided to us, the stronger our faith.
And one more important point. If you use the holy water of the Epiphany consecrated in the church for treatment, it should be drunk only on an empty stomach, as opposed to taking any other water consecrated in the temple or at home. In case of a serious illness, an exception can be made and the Epiphany water can be taken as needed. You can do the same with a sudden onset of a painful condition. Epiphany water has tremendous healing power. There are many cases when literally a few drops of this shrine, poured into the mouth of an unconscious patient, brought him to his senses and changed the course of the disease.
Is it true that certain words from the Holy
Scriptures (Bible, Gospel) spoken
every day, can help a person in certain
Yes it's true. For if turning to God's Word, which is Holy Scripture, does not help, then what will help? I will cite the lines of Holy Scripture that can help any person in various everyday situations.
The terms "prosphora" and "holy water" are significant for the Orthodox tradition. The first is called the liturgical bread used for the sacrament of Holy Communion. The second means holy water consecrated in the temple, the use of which began since the time of the Old Testament. In addition, this tradition is associated with the story of the Baptism of the Savior.
Why take holy water and prosphora
In the Orthodox tradition, there are a large number of shrines. The most important of them are Epiphany water (agiasma) and church bread (prosphora). Eating them on an empty stomach in the morning, the believer cleanses his own body and exalts spirituality.
However, in order to achieve the desired result, it is necessary to read prayers and maintain faith in the Trinity.

Prayer before eating prosphora and holy water cleanses the body and spirit of the Orthodox believer, and also makes him prone to virtue and drives away impure energy. Bread is the simplest food that is enough for a person to maintain life and strengthen strength. Water is used to quench thirst, prepare food and cleanse the physical shell. Therefore, these two elements, illuminated by church words, fill the believer with the necessary spirituality.
Consecration of water
How to eat prosphora and holy water properly
Many grains of bread symbolize the Unity of the Church with an infinite number of parts. Consecrated water restores primary purity and is also a conduit for God's will.
There is no difficulty in accepting these church objects: this is done on an empty stomach, early in the morning, so that they do not mix with subsequent food.
- At the end of the liturgical reading in the church, antidors (small parts of the prosphora) are brought out to those present.
- The Orthodox must fold his own palms with a cross, where the right will be on the left. If pride is defeated, you can kiss the hand of the monk who brought this gift.
- Antidora is eaten right in the temple, and then washed down with reverence (aghiasma).
- In the house for church food, it is necessary to prepare a tablecloth and put it in a consecrated corner -. Before using prosphora and holy water, a special prayer is read, where the believer asks for the strengthening of the body and spirit, as well as the elimination of all kinds of passions.
- When biting off the bread, the person should substitute a plate or clean paper. It is impossible for the crumbs to fall on the floor, because this prosphora is consecrated and symbolizes full-fledged faith.
- It is not recommended to give church bread to those people who do not want to be baptized or reject the existence of God.
- The paper in which the prosphora was brought must be burned.
- Church bread is made from wheat, with yeast and with the addition of holy water. The term "prosphora" is translated from Greek as "offering". The first Christians had the custom of bringing bread from their own home for the celebration of the Sacrament of the Eucharist.
- Currently, church bread is prepared in the bakeries of the diocese. The prosphora consists of two parts, symbolizing the two natures of the Savior Christ. On the upper part, a cross or the face of the Mother of God is depicted.
- "Agiasma" in translation from Greek means "shrine". This water is consecrated by special permission, on the feast of Epiphany. It is not a panacea for all diseases. The opinion that daily use of Agiasma will bring absolute health and solve all problems is incorrect.
- Agiasma does not deteriorate and remains incorruptible. This has been proven through many relevant experiments. Every Christian is obliged to keep it next to home icons and consume it on an empty stomach in the morning. It is also suitable for anointing wounds and for sprinkling dwellings.
