What women need to do and what prayer to read on St. Luke’s Day
On October 31, Orthodox believers celebrate the Day of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke. This holiday is also called Luk Day. What should I do on this holiday? First, a prayer to St. Luke. There is nothing more important than prayer every day. And about other traditions and signs we will tell you in the article.
Editorial "Site" He shares with you the text of the prayer to the Apostle Luke, and also tells you what else to do on October 31.
The Prayer to St. Luke is one of the apostles who attended Christ’s first sermon. After the resurrection of the Savior, Luke continued the work of Christ and set off with St. Paul on a difficult journey. When Paul went to the other world, Luke continued his missionary journey alone. He continued to preach and spread the word of Christ to the people.
His earthly journey ended in the city of Thebes. The apostle accepted martyrdom and found eternal life. Since then, believers have honored him and offered him prayers. And just on October 31, the Day of Remembrance of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke, it is necessary to say the prayer of gratitude.
Prayer to the saint: O St. Luke, chosen by God and blessed by the Mother of God, preacher throughout the universe of the Gospel of Christ, martyr and apostle, helper to all those who pray to you, help us, obscene servants of the Lord.
For in many of our sins we find ourselves in darkness and in the shadow of death, farther away from God. By this shame, those who are not ashamed of the Imams of the daring of the Lord to pray for forgiveness, we call upon you, the great lamp of God, as dwelling in His eternal light, to pray for us the Lord, that he may have mercy on us.
Pray to the Lord, St. Luke, that the fear of the Lord may renew in us; it attracts lovers, but drives away sin. For we have learned to sin all day and hour, and in sleep, for the words of the Lord do not measure: Beware, for you do not know the hour, when I want to come, He can call us from this life to eternal life at any time.
Awaken in us, St. Luke, fear and wisdom, about them the holy king and psalmist David spoke. By your prayers we will receive tears of repentance, but by them all our souls will be cleansed from sin. For in spiritual blindness and debauchery we cannot really weep for our dead, this is to speak to ourselves, but many tears and streams of tears are required to shed for many sins committed.
Help us, foolish ones, let us understand the scripture that you yourself wrote, for by true understanding we will understand the true words, that we may flee from sin like a fire and use all our strength to bring God closer.
Let the heavenly world come down from nowhere, the kingdom of heaven be guided and creative with joy, that we may send away the arrows of the evil one for every hour. With the same we receive the love of God, may He guide us to the Eternal Fatherland, to all the powers of heaven, all the saints, the Mother of God before them, the Good Face in the icon you wrote is immortalized.
May the eyes of our hearts continually look at that babble and enjoy it, that the Kingdom of Heaven reigns in us, in which your prayers, St. Luke, rejoice in us when the Lord gives us a prize, that there we eternally glorify God in the Holy Trinity: the Inherent Father, the Only Begotten Son and the Most Holy Spirit, throughout all eternity. Amen.
Also, do not forget about the traditions that our ancestors sanctified. On this day especially zealously prayed to the apostle those whose activity is connected with painting and medicine. It was believed that the saint helped in business. Luke was also asked for healing and intercession. The women prayed for the welfare of the family.
Because of the similar sound with the name of the saint in Luke, much attention was paid to the onion. Everyone on this day tried to eat more onions to protect themselves from winter ailments. Our ancestors believed in the healing properties of this simple vegetable.
Women used onion juice to preserve youth and beauty. Onion purees were rubbed into the hair so that they were strong and thick. Also, onion masks were applied to the face. They were believed to banish old age.
The weather was also predicted on that day. It was believed that if the snow on this day does not fall, and the leaves on the oaks do not fall completely, then the winter will wait a long time. In our region, it seems that winter will not come soon. What about you?
We wish to celebrate this holiday in peace and harmony. I hope that prayer to St. Luke will help you. Someone is celebrating Halloween on this day. We seem to be used to this holiday, but there are those who are categorically against it. What holiday do you celebrate on October 31st?
