[St. Nicholas' Cathedral, Idassa] Evlogitaria for the Dead

A small island off the Kildari coast. Once a remote holding of Kaikias-Overseas, now a remote holding of the Mango Throne. House Octavius calls this perpetually overcast land its new home.

[St. Nicholas' Cathedral, Idassa] Evlogitaria for the Dead

Post by Mira Octavius-Aryani »

To recognize the Day of the Dead in their own way, Christian residents of Kezan complete their regular evening service with prayers for the departed.


Blessed are Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes.

The choir of the saints have found the Fountain of Life and the Door of Paradise;
may I also find the way through repentance.
I am a lost sheep: call me, O Savior, and save me.

Blessed are Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes.

Ye holy martyrs who preached the Lamb of God and like unto lambs were slain,
and are translated into life unfading and everlasting:
fervently beseech ye Him, to grant us remission of our debts.

Blessed are Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes.

Ye who trod the narrow way of grief, all ye who in life have taken up on you the Cross as a yoke
And followed Me by faith: draw near, enjoy ye the honours and celestial crowns I have prepared for you.

Blessed are Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes.

I am the image of Thine ineffable glory, though I bear the brunt of transgressions.
Pity Thy creature, O Master, and purify me by Thy loving-kindness.
Grant unto me my desired fatherland, making me again a citizen of Paradise.

Blessed are Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes.

Of old Thou didst form me from nothingness and didst honour me with Thy divine image;
but the transgression of Thy commandments has returned me again unto the earth from which I was taken:
restore Thou me to Thy image, and to my former beauty.

Blessed are Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes.

Give rest, O Lord, to Thy servants and establish them in Paradise,
where the choirs of the saints and of the just, O Lord, shine like the stars of heaven.
Give rest to Thy servants who have fallen asleep, overlooking all their transgressions.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

Devoutly let us praise the threefold splendor of the one Godhead, crying out:
Holy art Thou, O Father who art from everlasting, O Son coeternal and Spirit Divine.
Illumine us who serve Thee with faith, and deliver us from the fire eternal.

Both now and forever and to the ages of ages.

Rejoice, O Pure One, who for the salvation of all didst bring forth God in the flesh.
Through thee mankind has found salvation:
through thee may we find Paradise, O pure most-blessed Mother of God.

Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia
Glory to Thee, O God.

Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia
Glory to Thee, O God.

Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia
Glory to Thee, O God!
