The psalter and prayers are the deceased. Comp. Tatiana (Antanovich), nun

Reading Psalter for the deceased Christians is the help and comfort from the soul of the deceased, which will be before God, awaiting His righteous judgment. The soul of the deceased is like a helpless baby who is waiting for our prayer. If, during earthly life, we need prayer assistance, then it is difficult to overestimate its meaning at the moment when the fate of the soul in eternity is decided! In addition to Psalter, the most fully collected prayers and the followings of the Orthodox Church for the deceased, committed by Orthodox Christians at home. The rumor of the panachids, which is served by a priest in the church, at the cemetery and at home, is also given.
