New Akathist: The Raising of Lazarus
Before Holy Week and Lazarus Saturday, the Church reminds us of one of the greatest miracles of Christ: raising Lazarus from the dead after four days in the tomb. A beautiful new Akathist of the Raising of Lazarus has been published. It is deeply prayerful, rich in theology, and perfect for personal devotion during Great Lent or throughout the year. In this Akathist we cry out to Christ, the Conqueror of death:
“Jesus, You who raised Lazarus from the dead before Your Passion, show us Your Resurrection!”
This is a powerful prayer for anyone seeking resurrection in their own life — from the tombs of sin, despair, addiction, or hopelessness. Read and pray it here:

Highly recommended for Orthodox Christians, catechumens, and inquirers alike. Save it, pray it, and share it with those preparing for Pascha.“Christ is the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in Him, though he may die, he shall live.”
