...a Russian Orthodox tradition of the "Moleben" is a supplication prayer service in honor of either our Lord Jesus Christ, the Mother of God, or a particular saint or martyr, and only an ordained priest can celebrate a "Molieben"). In order to celebrate a Molieben service the particular saint must already be canonized.

Thank you, John and Alice. Our closest parallel would be an augementation of Suffrages (the briefest of all prayer services) in which Psalms and Lessons are added and a longer Litany is used.
