Consecration of a room is a prayer service for communicating God's grace to a certain place, so that it serves its owner with spiritual and material benefits. This is a request to the Lord to direct things in such a way that the very premises, through the blessing that has descended upon it, helps the Christian to benefit the Church, his neighbors, his Fatherland and himself.

- - Holy water;

Instructions
Step 1
You can consecrate the premises any day, at any time convenient for you and the priest. To agree on it, go to the temple and explain your desire to the minister in the icon shop. She will tell you when it is more convenient to talk to the priest. You can leave your phone number to be given to the priest.
Step 2
After the time has been set, talk to your family or co-workers and explain what is happening. Set them up for reverent behavior.
Step 3
Give the room a proper look. If there are amulets, masks or talismans with images of demons on the walls, remove them. Prepare holy water, oil (common, unsanctified vegetable oil), candles, and the Gospel. You can also buy stickers with a cross in the icon store. Four such stickers are needed for the priest to stick one on each side of the consecrated room. Prepare a table on which the priest can put the holy objects. To do this, it must be completely freed and covered with a clean tablecloth.
Step 4
When the priest comes, ask for his blessing. The rite of blessing the premises itself lasts from 30 to 60 minutes. Father will read prayers containing requests for peace for the home, salvation and enlightenment of all who live in it. When the priest says: "Let us pray to the Lord," one should answer: "Lord, have mercy." After the words of the prayer: "Our God, we give glory to You, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now, and ever, and forever and ever," all those present should say: "Amen."
Step 5
The rite of consecration ends with a litany with the usual petitions, and petitions for the blessing of the house. In this part of the rite, ask the Lord that a Guardian Angel be sent to the new house to help everyone who lives here. If we are talking about an office, production or any other space, then ask that things are done for the benefit of everyone who works here or visits it. After the rite of blessing, all those present must venerate the cross.
