How to read correctly
To read the akathist to the saints, you don’t have to go to church; you can do it at home. The main thing is that the request comes from a pure heart.
When reading, you should follow simple rules:
- It is best to read the akathist in front of an icon of saints. If she is not in the house, it is advisable to stand by the window.
- Read only while standing. Only those who cannot stand for long are allowed to sit.
- Since the text is written in complex language, it is permissible to listen to the akathist and follow the text to make it easier to read on your own later.
- An akathist requires more effort than a simple prayer. If a believer doubts his abilities, he should turn to his confessor for advice and blessing.
- Before the akathist, you need to read the opening prayer, ending with an appeal to the guardian angel.
There are no more restrictions. A believer can also convert in his own words if it seems right to him.
