On the second Tuesday after Easter, the Church celebrates a special holiday - Radonitsa - the day of remembrance of the dead. On this day, it is especially important to remember the loved ones who have left us and to pray for them. On the day of Radonitsa, the celebration of Easter is not yet over, and a separate day allocated by the Church for the commemoration of the dead, as it were, calls on us all not to immerse ourselves in sorrowful experiences over the death of loved ones, but, on the contrary, to rejoice at their birth into another life - eternal life.
Prayer is an appeal to God, the Mother of God, Angels, and saints. Prayer is our conversation with them, and first of all with God - as with the Creator of everything, including man. When we pray, our spirituality, namely our soul and spirit, enter into an incomprehensible, but nevertheless direct contact with God and all the otherworldly mysterious world. The two thousand year experience of the Church testifies that the fate of a person before the Last Judgment is not a foregone conclusion, and the prayer of the living, a prayer filled with fervent and sincere love, is capable of changing this fate.
On the other hand, precisely because a spiritual connection between the living and the dead is possible, we also receive prayer help from there, from the saints. Our departed are also spiritually capable of giving us signals, saving us.
