Definition of Akathist
Akathist is a prayer song to the Almighty, Mother of God or saints. Like prayer, an akathist is a dialogue between the prayer book and the one to whom the prayer is addressed.
Peter and Fevronia of Murom
Believers usually read it in two cases:
- To express special gratitude and joy in any event (to the Lord, the Virgin Mary or the saints);
- For the sake of asking or interceding for help in difficult life circumstances.
Each akathist consists of 25 parts, they are called songs. These parts contain 13 songs of praise, called kontakia, and 12 lengthy songs - ikos, which convey the essence of the event.
It happens that people who believe in Christ agree among themselves and read the text of the akathist at the same time, despite the fact that they are far from each other and even live in different time zones. This is called prayer by agreement, the power of which is incredibly great. As the Lord said: “If two or three are gathered in My Name, I am there in the midst of them.”
Rules for reading the akathist
There are certain traditions of reading akathists, and the prayer book must necessarily follow them.
Saints Peter and Fevronia
Recommended reading time is in the morning, after reading the morning rule. During this period, the stomach is not yet overloaded with food, and the consciousness is not burdened with problems and worries. It is in such a light state that a person is able to feel and understand the meaning of each word from the chant he reads.
Other prayers for family well-being:
In accordance with church rules, a Christian must come to church and be blessed to read the akathist by the priest. It is usually read daily for 40 days. Perhaps the priest will ask a question about what prompted the person to read the akathist. Therefore, you should be prepared to give the cleric a truthful answer.
Before taking on the feat of prayer, you should confess your sins during the Sacrament of Confession, after which you should receive Holy Communion with a pure heart and conscience Mysteries of Christ at the Liturgy.
You cannot read the akathist during Lent. The exception is the prayerful praise of the Mother of God, which is performed in Holy Saturday, and an akathist to the Divine Passion of Christ, chanting last days earthly life of the Savior. On the remaining days of the year, a person has the right to decide for himself on the start date of the reading of the solemn anthem.
The prayer chant is performed while standing in front of the icon of the saint to whom prayers are offered. Reading the akathist while sitting is permitted in exceptional cases for those parishioners who, due to their weakness or illness, are not able to stand.

Life of Peter and Fevronia of Murom
The life of Saints Peter and Fevronia is like a fairy tale. Their meeting occurred because Prince Peter fell ill and was looking for skilled healers for healing. An excellent doctor turned out to be a simple girl, the daughter of a peasant, Fevronia.
Some time after the wedding, Prince Peter ascended the Murom throne and began to rule the city. The boyars opposed having a peasant girl as a princess, because they knew about the origin of Prince Peter’s wife. They gave the prince an ultimatum: either separate from his wife, or leave the throne of Murom. Which of our modern governors or senators would be willing to resign from office for the sake of their wife? However, Prince Peter went into exile with Fevronia.
It turned out that the Murom residents punished themselves: disputes over who should rule the city led to quarrels and murders! The boyars were forced to confess to Saints Peter and Fevronia.
After these events, the saints lived their lives calmly. In old age, they took monastic vows - such was the tradition of the princely class of that time - and lived out their lives in the female and men's monasteries, humbled by this tradition. They were in physical separation, but in prayerful unity. It is known that they prayed to the Lord about dying on the same day and living together in Heaven. Furthermore, they bequeathed to bury them in one coffin.
Tradition says that July 8th is the day of their common death. After their death, they tried to bury them separately, but their bodies were miraculously discovered in a pre-prepared double coffin. In him, who now resides in Murom, they rest to this day.
Through the prayers of Saints Peter and Fevronia, may the Lord protect you!
