Akathists

Akathists are hymn-prayers of praise and intercession. They may be read privately or in church, and are especially fitting for feasts and times of particular need.

We will gradually add complete texts of beloved Akathists here. For now, these are among the most commonly prayed:

• Akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos
• Akathist to Our Sweetest Lord Jesus Christ
• Akathist to the Spiritual Ladder of the Entrance of the Theotokos
• Akathist to the Precious and Life-Giving Cross
• Akathist to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker

More texts will be added over time so that this page can become a helpful resource for personal prayer.
