Prayer for the Departed
Prayer for the souls of the departed is an essential element of Orthodox Church tradition and service.
The panikhida is the traditional memorial service for the souls of departed Orthodox loved ones. It may be offered at any time after physical death but is most often offered at the time of passing as well as the 3rd, 9th, and 40th days after passing and the yearly anniversary of the date.
Please Note: Panikhida services are only offered once on the third Saturday of the month, before Great Vespers, at 4:50pm for Orthodox who reposed in that month.
