Here we are again nearly at house blessing time, and although we had our house blessed last year I think it was very abbreviated service (for several reasons it would be uncharitable to discuss). So I'm still just as much in the dark about the service as I was, and our new pastor does sing the blessings and I am wondering could someone point me to where to find the order of the service so we don't appear to be complete and utter dolts when Father arrives at our door? I have the icon corner, candles, cross etc. but as for the responses and such I am clueless. Help!

Sieglinde Dear Sieglinde, The Theophany House Blessing is a brief service. It often takes longer to sprinkle each room of the house with Theophany Water than to do the rest of the service proper. Here is a link for a pretty full version of the Theophany House Blessing: http://networks-now.net/litresswraoc/Documents/TheophanyHouseBlessing.PDFHave a blessed Feast! Fr David Straut Who can only think about Christmas now - Theophany is too far away!

Fr David Straut
Who can only think about Christmas now - Theophany is too far away! Father David: Father bless!! And may the Lord Who is coming enter your heart and so fill you with His love and the joy of knowing that you are part of Him that you radiate it to everyone you meet this coming year. Counting on your continued holy prayers, In Christ, BOB
