Translated by Elizabeth Purdy from the Russian: Акафист за Единоумершего

No. 4 of St. Paisius Orthodox Monastery Series

“The Akathist for a Loved One who has Fallen Asleep should be used both as an act of love toward those whom we have loved and who have fallen asleep, as well as an effective spiritual “therapy’ for those of us who remain, so as not to fall into the grief or sorrow that might lead to despondency. The beautiful words of the following akathist transmit from the treasury of Orthodox spirituality the most comely pearls on death and dying.”
