Small Compline + Akathist to the Russian Royal Martyrs | Orthodox Prayer in English

Join us tonight for Small Compline and the Akathist to the Holy Royal Passion-Bearers, prayed in English from Sts Cyprian & Justina Orthodox Parish in Auckland, New Zealand. Tonight, according to the Julian (Old) Calendar, we commemorate the Holy Royal Martyrs of Russia: Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra, Tsarevich Alexei, and the Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia. The Royal Family bore suffering, humiliation, and death with Christian faith, patience, and forgiveness, becoming examples of steadfast trust in Christ amid persecution and trial. As we gather for Small Compline, we ask their holy intercessions for our families, our children, our rulers, and all who suffer for the sake of righteousness.
