The priests explained to the Bryants when it is better to visit the graves of loved ones

Residents of the Bryansk region were told how often to come to the cemetery and what days are considered the most suitable for this in the Orthodox tradition. The clergy note that there is no strict schedule of visits, and most importantly during the visit - a prayer for the deceased.

You can clean the grave, remove foliage and debris at each visit. However, the improvement of the burial is not considered the main purpose of commemoration. Believers are encouraged to pay special attention to prayer for the dead and ask God for forgiveness of his sins.

Traditionally, parents choose to visit cemeteries on Saturdays and other memorial days of the church calendar. Separate dates are dedicated to the memory of the fallen soldiers. These days you can not only remove the grave, but also pray for the deceased. If desired, a priest is invited to perform the funeral lithium.

At the same time, it is allowed to visit the graves on other days. Regular care of the grave helps to preserve the memory of a loved one, but it is not necessary to limit yourself to set dates.

The clergy also remind that the cemetery is not suitable for noisy feasts and celebrations. The main purpose of the visit is to honor the memory of the deceased and pray for his soul.
