Jesus Christ can be depicted standing in full growth, half-length images of the Savior are also common (most often found on small icons used in everyday life).
On all icons of this type, the Son of God is depicted with right hand raised for blessing, and with a closed or open gospel in the left hand.
Savior on the throne
This icon has many common features with the image of the Almighty Savior (closed or opened Gospel, blessing hand). But the Lord Jesus Christ is always depicted seated on a throne, in full growth. According to the Gospel of Matthew: “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory…”. The throne symbolizes power over the entire visible and invisible world.
Savior in the Force
In the central part of the iconostasis of any Orthodox church, an image of Christ with a book and a throne is placed. The background in the form of a red square is a symbol of the earth lying under the authority of the Almighty, an angel, a lion, a calf and an eagle at the corners of the square are symbolic images of the evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, John. The blue oval in the upper part of the image is the personification of the spiritual world, filled with angels - Heavenly Forces. The red rhombus is the embodiment of the higher, invisible world.

The face of the Savior correlates with the gospel text: "And when He was twelve years old, they also came, according to custom, to Jerusalem for a feast." Isaiah, the eldest of four Old Testament prophets Israel, we read: “Therefore, the Lord Himself will give you a sign: “Behold, a virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son, and they will call his name Immanuel” (Is. 7.14). The youth-Christ is depicted in a tunic and a himation and with a scroll in his hands.

This prayer is a brief and precise teaching on the foundations of the Orthodox faith.
I always studied well at school, entered the university without difficulty, but in the first year my studies didn’t work out - no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t read all the necessary literature in time, draw up all the notes, complete all the tasks, I didn’t have enough time all the time , I didn’t get enough sleep, I didn’t start to doze off during lectures, but I thought about the upcoming session with horror.
When I complained about my troubles to my grandmother, she just shrugged her shoulders and repeated what she always says in such cases: “Without God's grace nothing will work." I myself have already begun to understand this, but only - how to get it, this grace? Grandma's "recipe" - the daily reading of a long list of prayers according to the "Prayer Book" - scared me. And so I don’t have enough time for anything, what kind of prayer readings are there ... But, apparently, I touched my grandmother with my lamentations, and she offered me, in her words, “an option for the lazy and busy” - a short rule compiled by Seraphim of Sarov.
A few days later, I learned these few prayers by heart and began to notice that in those moments when I read them, I feel very calm, the anxiety that has not let me go for the last months seems to be dissolving ... Yes, and after reading something in me changed - the head became clear-clear, drowsiness - as if it had not happened, I felt such a surge of strength that I was ready to practice day and night. Both memory and attention became better, and the most mysterious thing is that now I had enough time for everything, I managed to do everything.
In general, I passed the session with only five, and now I can’t imagine life without prayers - I am gradually mastering that Rule from the “Prayer Book”, which scared me so much, and now it is perceived in a completely different way ...

If you have anxiety for loved ones, say the following prayer until peace comes:
"Lord, save, save, have mercy on (names of relatives). Everything will be fine with them!"
Lord, God the Almighty, I have sinned against heaven and before You, and already I am not worthy to be called Your son, below to call Your glorious name with my sinful lips, because I have made myself unworthy of heaven and earth, having angered You, the good Lord! I am not worthy to ask for forgiveness for myself, Lord, for many times I gave a promise to repent - and became a liar who did not fulfill the promise, many times already You raised me up, but again I fell of my own free will. I pronounce judgment on myself and confess that I am worthy of all punishment and torment.
I beseech Thee, Lord, do not cast me away from Thy presence, and depart not from me, lest I perish. Now I fall down to You, imploring: help me, who has strayed from the path of truth. Pour out Your mercies upon me as upon the prodigal son, for I have put my life to shame by squandering the riches of Your goodness. Have mercy on me and do not despise me because of my indecent life. Have mercy on me as a publican, as a robber: he was rejected by everyone on earth, but You accepted him and made him a dweller of sweetness in paradise.
Graciously accept my prayer for reconciliation with Thee and, according to Thy goodness, grant me life at Thy coming; and let the evil one be put to shame when he sees that Thy righteousness has had mercy on me. Granting forgiveness, Lord, send strength; convert me so that I may live according to Thy holy will.
How many times have You visited my darkened mind, but I return again to the worst! I am all in awe, thinking about this, and again the sinful sweetness overcomes me. How can I enumerate all the gifts of Thy grace, O Lord, which I received, a pitiful one, but I turned and turn into nothing with my negligence! You filled me with thousands of gifts, and I, poor, repay You with that which is contrary to You.
But You, Lord, since You have a sea of long-suffering and an abyss of goodness in You, do not allow me to be cut down like a barren fig tree. Do not delight me, unprepared, do not take a lamp that has not yet been kindled, do not take from here one who does not have a wedding garment, but, as a good Lover of mankind, have mercy on me, give me time to repent and do not set my soul naked before Your terrible, incorruptible throne, like a miserable disgrace of infamy.
You, Lord, my Savior, the Son of the true God, as You know and as You want, according to Your only goodness, turn me from the sin that is in me and save me from destruction.
How many times, O Master Lord Jesus, have You renewed my nature carelessly corrupted by my sins! There is no number and measure! How many times have You rescued me from the cave that burns within me, from the cave of many different passions, from the abyss of despondency and despair! How many times by Thy name alone, invoked by me with faith, did Thou renew my corruption of the heart! How many times has he done this through the life-giving Mysteries. Oh Lord! Your mercy to me, a sinner, truly has no number and measure. What will I bring to You, or what will I repay You for Your immeasurable good deeds to me, Jesus, my Life and my lightness! May I be prudent in my ways, according to Thy grace, for all prudent ones on the way are pleasing to You, as Thou didst declare through Your Spirit through the mouth of our father, David; I will try to be faithful to You, humble, meek, not irritable, not malice, long-suffering, industrious, merciful, generous, not covetous, obedient. Lord, Almighty Power! Establish my feeble soul in every virtue! On the immovable stone of Your commandments, establish my heart, weak for all good! God! And I daily experience by experience that without You I am nothing; that without You I can do no good; without You, there is only evil in me in its various forms; without You I am a son of destruction. Oh, unspeakable Blessing! Fill my heart with Your goodness! Above all, I pray: Grant me to love You with all my heart and my neighbor as to myself. May I not be malicious, proud, contemptuous, restless, but may I be gentle, humble, respectful with tenderness and obedient.
In Thee, O Lord, I put my trust, that I may not be put to shame forever: in Thy righteousness deliver me and deliver me. Incline Your ear to me, hasten to take me away, be in God the Protector, and in the house of refuge, to save me. For Thou art my power and my refuge, and for Thy name's sake instruct me, and nourish me. Lead me out of this net, hiding me to the south, as You are my Protector, Lord. In your hands I will offer my spirit: Thou hast delivered me, O Lord God of truth. Thou hast hated the guardians of vanity in vain: but I trusted in the Lord. I will rejoice and rejoice in Your mercy, as if you looked at my humility, you saved my soul from the needs, and carry me shut in the hands of the enemy, you put me on my wide nose. Have mercy on me, O Lord, as I grieve: my eye, my soul and my womb are troubled by rage. As if my belly disappeared in sickness and my years in sighs, my strength was exhausted by poverty and my bones were shattered. From all my enemies there was reproach, and my neighbor is green, and the fear of my people: whoever sees me, run away from me. Forgotten would be as if dead from the heart, as if a vessel was destroyed, As if I heard the curse of many living around, when they gather together for me, take my soul to confer. But I hoped for You, O Lord, rech: You are my God. Into Your hand are my lots: deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who persecute me. Enlighten Your face on Your servant, save me by Your mercy. Lord, let me not be ashamed, as if I had called Thee: let the wicked be ashamed and descend into hell. Let the flattering ones be dumb, speaking of the righteous iniquity, pride and humiliation. Since the multitude of Thy goodness, O Lord, hast thou hid to those who fear Thee, Thou hast made those who trust in Thee before the sons of men. Hiding them in the secret of Your face from human rebellion, cover them in blood from bickering. Blessed be the Lord, for surprise Thy mercy in the city of protection. But I rech in my exclamation: I am rejected from Your face: for this reason, thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, I have always cried out to You. Love the Lord, all reverend ones, for the Lord seeks the truth, and rewards those who create pride in excess. Be of good cheer, and let your heart be strong, all who trust in the Lord.
Psalm 37
Lord, do not rebuke me with Your wrath, but punish me with Your anger. Like Your arrows unzosha in me, and Thou hast established Your hand on me. There is no healing in my flesh from the face of Your wrath; there is no peace in my bones from the face of my sins. As if my iniquity exceeded my head, as if a heavy burden was burdened on me. Resurrect and bend my wounds from the face of my madness. Suffered and slushy to the end, all day complaining about walking. As if my body was filled with reproach, and there is no healing in my flesh. I was embittered and resigned to the ground, roaring from the sighing of my heart. Lord, before You all my desire and my sighing is not hidden from You. My heart is troubled, leave me my strength, and the light of my eyes, and that one is not with me. My friends and my sincere ones approach me directly and stare. And my neighbors are far away from me; and those who seek my soul are in need, and those who seek evil to me, vain words, and I will learn from flatterers all day long. But I, as if deaf, did not hear, and as if dumb, do not open your mouth. And byh, like a person is not heard, and is not in the mouth of his denunciations. As if in Thee, Lord, I hope, You will hear, Lord, my God! Like reh, but not when my enemies will rejoice, and always move my feet, you shouted at me. For I am ready for wounds, and my illness is before me. For I will proclaim my iniquity, and I will take care of my sin. But my enemies live, and they are stronger than me, and those who hate me without the truth multiply. Those who reward me with evil, I will slander me, chasing goodness. Do not leave me, Lord my God, do not depart from me. Come to my help, O Lord of my salvation!
One of the first steps on the path to faith is the Jesus Prayer, the essence of which is an appeal to the Lord for mercy and forgiveness. However, to achieve the goal, it is not enough just to read the text, serious preparation is necessary.
Preparation
The Jesus Prayer implies a complete concentration of physical and spiritual forces, its text is aimed at love, worship of the Lord, without distracting thoughts to alien objects.
The Jesus Prayer is read under any circumstances: when a person is moving or working. However, it is recommended to perform the sacrament in a quiet place, preferably sitting. This remark applies, first of all, to novice ascetics. When the mind learns to penetrate deep into the heart, without even briefly touching on external topics, then they already pray, simultaneously performing some kind of physical action.
Remember! Mechanical memorization of the text without proper reverence, humility, fear of God's wrath will not bring any benefit. The Jesus Prayer is transmitted to the Almighty - by the heart (an emotional call).
Varieties of treatment
The Jesus Prayer is pronounced in different ways, having both a long and short form. But in essence it is an appeal to God through his son Jesus Christ. Contains a prayer for health, salvation and mercy on one's own or the soul of one's neighbor.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son and Word of God, prayers for the sake of Your most pure Mother, have mercy on me, a sinner
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.
Lord have mercy.
Prayer is spoken mentally or in a quiet voice, no more than a certain number of times (for which a rosary is used). Often they begin or end liturgies or other lengthy prayers with it.
From evil spells
In addition to the traditional formula, there is a prayer to Jesus Christ for deliverance from corruption. They do it early in the morning complete silence, whisper. The action takes place within a month.
“Son of God, Lord Jesus Christ! Protect me with holy angels, holy helpers, prayers of the Virgin, Mother of all, Life-Giving Cross. Protect me with the power of St. Michael and the Holy Prophets, John the Theologian, Cyprian, St. Nikon and Sergius.
This method helps baptized people faster and more effectively than everyone else. However, a person who is not baptized, but sincerely believes in the Lord, will be rewarded according to his merits, just like the Orthodox, only it will take a little more time.
In the second method of the purification rite, consecrated water is used, creating the following words over it (repeat 7 times):
“On a distant island, on a green island, in the middle of the sea, across the ocean, A huge oak grows, a strong tree grows, and under this tree there is a Spring with holy water. In the spring, the water-voditsa is pure and healing, It heals from all diseases and ailments. Jesus Christ himself collects it for us mortals, to help us. He charges that water with His strength, accompanies it with goodness and all good things. I, the servant of God (name), will collect that pure water, To cleanse my body, my soul, Yes, all of me from damage and the evil eye, To protect myself from envious people, from eyeful eyes, From black witchcraft, from bad hands. As I wash myself with that water, so everything unclean will leave me, It will sink into a black hole, it will return to those who wished. And in my intentions, the Lord God Himself will help me, He will be my Defender, assistant and mentor. Amen!"
After the consecrated water has been spoken, they wash themselves with it, saying the following:
“As it is said, so it shall be done!”
The most unprotected from damage are children. Moreover, damage may come not necessarily from the envious, but also from loving person. The strength of the message plays a significant role, so it does not matter if it is positive or negative, the result is important. 
To remove damage, and at the same time ask for health, we recommend the following method.
Take the child in your arms, saying the following formula three times:
“I send my word to Jesus Christ, Protect my dear child from the eyes of the bad, From strong praise and envy, Save the child from strangers, Give him peace and quiet. Amen!"
Spitting over your left shoulder, finish with:
“I spit out spoiled damage, I remove the evil eye. Amen!"
About the health of the body
Many wonderful things have been said about the Jesus Prayer. It helps to embark on the path of faith, saves from the unclean, pacifies a violent temper, enlightens the soul, and strengthens the physical body.
Jesus' strong prayer for the health of the sick:
“Oh Lord, our Creator, I ask for your help, grant full recovery to God's servant (name), wash her blood with your rays. Only with Your help will healing come to her. By the miraculous power, touch her and bless all her roads to the long-awaited salvation, healing, recovery. Give her body health, her soul - blessed lightness, her heart - your divine balm. The pain will recede forever and strength will return to it, the wounds will all heal and help will come your holy. Your rays from the blue Heavens will reach her, give her strong protection, bless her to get rid of her illnesses, strengthen her faith. May the Lord hear my words. Glory to Thee. Amen"
They work with her both in the temple and at home. Words to the Lord through his son Jesus Christ ascend for themselves or any person who needs help from above. There is, however, one important condition : the one for whom they pray must be baptized by the priest in the temple. The same goes for the formula below.
A terrible burden falls on the shoulders of the parents of the illness of their child. Prayer for the health of the baby will be a great relief and help.
“Lord Almighty, may Your mercy be on my child (name) (if there are 2 or more children, then you need to say “on my children”), save and protect him under your cover, protect my child from all evil, give away from him of all enemies, open his eyes and ears, give humility and tenderness to a little heart. Lord God, we are all Your creations, have pity on my child (name) and direct him to repentance. Save, God Most High, and have mercy on my child (name) and shine through his mind with the bright light of the mind of Your Gospel, and guide him on the path of Your commandments, and teach him, Lord, to do Your holy will. Amen"
For the fulfillment of a wish
Prayer to St. Martha is considered one of the most powerful tools we turn to fulfill our desire. If the desire of the asker is pleasing to the Lord, it will be fulfilled much earlier than the expected time. They do it every Tuesday for 9 weeks, without interrupting the cycle. Skip at least once, start over; fulfilled earlier - still continue what you started.
“Oh Holy Martha, You are Miraculous! I turn to you for help! And completely in my needs, and you will be my helper in my trials! I promise you with gratitude that I will spread this prayer everywhere! I humbly, tearfully ask, comfort me in my worries and hardships! Submissively, for the great joy that filled your heart I tearfully ask you to take care of me and my family so that we save our God in our hearts and thereby deserve the Saved Almighty Mediation, especially with the care that is now burdening me .... (further desire, for example, help me find a well-paid job; help me meet my beloved and create a happy family; etc.) ... ... I tearfully ask you, Helper in every need, conquer hardships the way you defeated the snake, until I lay at your feet!”
The order of the ritual:
- On the right side of the table, place and then light a small candle bought in the temple;
- It can be smeared with bergamot oil from the base to the filter;
- A desirable attribute is the presence of fresh flowers on the table;
- The ritual of turning to St. Martha is performed in bright clothes, put on a clean body immediately after taking a shower;
- There should be no one in the room except the questioner;
- Write down your desire on paper so that there is full compliance with the text of the prayer;
- For one cycle (9 weeks), Saint Martha is asked to fulfill only one wish;
- Let the church candle burn out to the end, if the candle is not consecrated, then it should burn for no more than 20 minutes;
- The ceremony is performed at your discretion in the morning or in the evening.
Saint Martha from us offers a wish to Jesus Christ, and he then passes it on to the Almighty.
People who have practiced the Jesus Prayer for Health and other prayers, as well as the appeal to St. Martha and the prayer to the son of God Jesus, are amazed at their speed and effectiveness. However, they all say that they spoke the sacred words from the heart, sincerely and with complete humility.
