The long-awaited summer is in the yard, but only schoolchildren of elementary and middle grades are happy about this. The fact is that with the arrival of the hot season in graduation classes and for students, it is time for exams. This means a sea of worries, tantrums, hassle and bitter tears.
Of course, to be sure, and passing the Unified State Exam in the Russian language and mathematics completely without preparation is almost unrealistic. However, even excellent students during the exam can get nervous so that they not only forget common truths, but also confuse elementary concepts and rules.
And the student's habit - not to sleep the night before passing, but to teach to the last - leads to the fact that the speed of thought processes slows down, the student falls into a stupor and responds even worse than in the classroom.
Okay, let's forget about sleep deprivation and nerves. Let's say the preparation was more or less, but there is no calm and is not expected. What to do in this case? That's right - to pray! So, what saints do you need to pray before exams, be it the Unified State Exam in Russian or mathematics, or just a session.
What saints do they pray before passing exams
In the Orthodox Church there are several patron saints who are asked for prayer help before difficult trials.
- Icon of the Mother of God "Adding Mind". They turn to her in order to successfully pass any exams and perform various actions with wisdom.
- Venerable Sergius of Radonezh. Before monasticism, his name was Bartholomew, and he was not given education in any way. How many tears and disappointments the boy experienced - everyone managed to read and write, but he could not understand how the letters were formed. And one day he met a monk, from whom he asked for prayers to the Lord about success in teaching. The sincere request was heard by God, and since then the youth Bartholomew comprehended science easily.
- Saints Equal to the Apostles Cyril and Methodius, Slovenian teachers. Thanks to these saints, an ordered Slavic alphabet appeared and many books were translated from Greek for the Slavs. It is good for the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius to pray before passing the exam in the Russian language and other humanitarian subjects.
- Blessed Matrona of Moscow. This saint, who lived in the last century, became famous for quick help in various needs. Among other things, they pray to her for the successful passing of the exams.
- Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, one of the most beloved saints not only in Russia, but throughout the world. A quick helper and a warm intercessor, who is also addressed with a prayer request for the successful passing of exams.
- Patron saint or patroness of a person. For example, the disciple Alexei can ask his holy heavenly patron Alexei the Man of God for help in difficult trials. And exams during the study period are difficult tests. You can also ask for support from any saint whose life and deeds are of interest to you.
All these saints can and should pray before exams in order to get rid of unnecessary stress and fear. Whether you go to church for this or not is up to you. Take with you a small icon of the saint and hide it in the inner pocket of your clothes. Happy passing tests!
