What icons help. Charm icons protecting children from evil unkind people

In the old days, in every living room there was always an iconostasis with the faces of saints. The images helped to protect the house from various disasters, they were prayed to in difficult times and thanked for the sent well-being and health of family members. But over time, people lose the knowledge of what icons should be in the house, what helps this or that face of the saint and where to place the home iconostasis.

Icons: what are they for?

Every Orthodox Christian acquires not for beauty or fashion trends, but in order to pray in silence to the saints for the most secret. An icon is a chain that connects a person's soul with the Lord God. By saying prayer speeches, we communicate with the Almighty, ask for intercession and thank you for the mercy shown.

The image of a saint is not only a relic that is inherited. This is the holy of holies, which brings together all those living under one roof in a single prayer.

Each image, no matter what material it is made of, carries a special mysterious meaning. But in order for the icon to become a real patron of your family hearth, you should know where to put the icon, in what order to arrange them.

In addition to the fact that you just need to have these icons at home, you need to know the rules for their placement.

Previously, it was customary in houses to place icons on special wooden shelves, but now the church allows you to hang the faces of saints directly on the wall. The main thing is the location of the icons.

Images can be hung in any room. Hang the icon right above the entrance to the room. And you will feel how an unknown force protects your home.

Only 1 or 2 icons should be hung in the kitchen. After all, every Orthodox before sitting at the table and after eating, says a prayer of thanksgiving. Choose Christ the Savior, the Holy Trinity or the Mother of God.

If you want cooked food to always be tasty, healthy, and blessed by the saints, get the face of Euphrosynus of Palestine. He alone for good deeds was given the reward to see paradise and return to earthly life. He took heavenly apples as a gift, distributed them to the monks, who gave them only to those who were dying.

Any Small child should be taught from birth to turn to the saints for help and thank them for their support. In addition, the icons will protect your baby from any accidents and illnesses.

To do this, at the head of the bed they put the faces of saints who are the protectors of children, as well as nominal icons. It is also worth thinking about acquiring a measured icon. This is an image that matches the length of your baby at birth.

You can also hang icons of the Savior, the Virgin and the Guardian Angel. In the nursery, it is customary to pray that your child does not get sick and grows up as a worthy person.

Many are inclined to believe that icons are useless in the bedroom. You can hang images on the walls only if the spouses live in a married marriage. Then the faces of Saints Peter and Fevronia, Nicholas the Wonderworker, Panteleimon and personalized icons will protect your union.

If a person is lonely, then you can place the icons of the Virgin or the Savior.

It is here that you can install a home iconostasis, which is assembled according to all the rules. If your room is a walk-through, you have people who are unbelievers, you can move the icons to the room in which you are the most.

When something does not work out in business, the melancholy overcame and lazy languor attacked, you need to turn with prayers to the saints of the profession to which you belong.

With sincere prayer, the holy intercessors will always put in a word for you before the Lord.

Now you know what icons should be in the house. But the main thing is not just to have them in your room, but sincerely, sincerely and reverently indulge in prayer speeches.

Nowadays, when many people are coming to the faith again, you can in any church shop. But for a person who is not too familiar with the basics of faith, the question may arise why icons are needed, and which icon helps in what. In general, to say that the icon helps is not entirely true, since it is not the icon itself that helps, but those who are depicted on it - the Lord Jesus Christ, the Most Holy Theotokos, Angels and Saints. An icon is a kind of “window” into the spiritual world, invisible to simple eyes. And turning to the image imprinted on the icon, we thereby turn to the Prototype, which was once revealed to the icon painter in the form of the deepest spiritual insight, we partake of Divine grace, the conductor of which is the icon.

What does the Seven-shooter icon protect from?

There are icons from the evil eye and damage that have strong protective properties. First of all, this is the icon of the Seven Arrows. The original image, which is painted on canvas and pasted on a wooden base, is very ancient. The icon depicts the Mother of God, pierced by seven arrows.

Then say the following prayer words several times:

“Holy Wonderworker Nicholas, take away the damage sent to me and my loved ones, protect me in the future from the evil eye and word. Amen".

Then you need to stand and diligently cross yourself. After that, you need to buy an icon and consecrate it. You can also purchase a small image that you can carry with you. Additionally, you should buy 12 candles and collect holy water.

Late at night, when all the household members fall asleep, you need to retire in a separate room or in the kitchen, where you should light 12 candles and put the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker on the table, and next to it, holy water in a glass vessel. Then you need to stand in front of the icon and start praying, discarding all negativity from your soul. There is no need to wish evil on people who tried to harm you.

Prayer words may sound like this:

“Holy Wonderworker Nicholas, Just Defender and Savior, I turn to you, I am the Servant (s) of God (s) (proper name). I do not blame anyone living in my soul and I certainly forgive them. I ask and pray only you alone. Help me and all my relatives, and if someone tried to harm us, then remove the damage. May all illnesses and quarrels be washed away with holy water forever. But let the sorcerer not suffer from this damage and the sorcerer not die. And peace will reign in my soul, and harmony in the family. I beg you and ask only this. Amen".

After that, you need to take a sip of holy water, put out the candles and throw away the cinders. The icon must be preserved. The next day, you need to pour holy water into drinks for your loved ones. In this way, you can not only get rid of damage, but also protect yourself from negativity.

If the evil eye or damage manifests itself in a specific ailment, then icons will help to recover and protect yourself from a repeated energy attack. For each specific case:

traditional medicine

nervous disorders

You should know that in any case, if you suspect that you have been damaged, you need to visit the temple and ask for help and protection near the image of Christ. Icons can be accessed at any time. This can be done through prayer or in simple terms. And yet, it is important to understand that the icon can protect against damage or the evil eye, if you sincerely believe in it. You should also know that all icons have a light effect. They cleanse the space around a person, charge him with positive and give strength to a person to resist evil.
