Kupriyan and Ustinya prayer service. Prayer to Cyprian and Ustinya: who needs it, and who were these people? Cyprian's homeland is believed to have been Antioch, in northern Syria

  • 02.08.2019

The first centuries of Christianity are full of amazing stories of conversion and martyrdom - at the time the latter was often a consequence of the former. But people died joyfully, with the name of Christ on their lips. For them, this was a transition to the kingdom of God. The martyrs Cyprian and Ustinya, who are often depicted together on icons, also gave their lives for the faith.


How does the icon of Cyprian and Ustinya help?

Cyprian was initiated into the priesthood from childhood and studied magic in different cities. He wore a special ring on his finger that gave him power over unclean spirits. The sorcerer was very strong in his craft - he cast spells on people and summoned the dead. Today, near the icon of Cyprian and Ustinya, those who seek protection read prayers:

  • from magic;
  • from witchcraft;
  • from love spells;
  • ill-wishers;
  • diseases.

Having learned the lives of these saints, one can more deeply understand why such a turn occurred with the sorcerer. The story of Cyprian sounds very instructive in our time, when every TV channel advertises the services of magicians, psychics, and “healers.” He lived in Antioch at the end of the 3rd - beginning of the 4th century, at that time paganism still flourished there.

A certain young rich man Aglaid fell in love with a girl. But she did not reciprocate, because she decided to devote herself to Christ, maintaining her virginity. Then Aglaid turned to the priest for help. This is how fate first brought together Cyprian and Ustinya (in Greek - Justina), who stand side by side on the icons. At first they were enemies: in any case, the sorcerer’s intentions could not be called good - he sent demons to the maiden in order to seduce her and lead her astray.

However, the fragile young Justina defeated the demons with the help of prayer and fasting. This made the priest very angry, because the devil himself promised him help and so far any wishes of his clients have been fulfilled. But the unclean is powerless against those who with sincere faith call on Christ for help. Then Cyprian decided to take revenge - he sent a pestilence to the entire city, and said that it was all the fault of the stubborn girl.


Conversion of the Magus

But even here the Christian did not retreat - through her prayers the Lord stopped the epidemic. Then many saw the power of Christ and began to glorify Him as true God. Even the pagan sorcerer saw that he was doing terrible things. He immediately repented and came to the bishop to have him burn all his witchcraft books. The hagiographic icon of the martyr Cyprian shows this moment. Ustinya herself was very happy about the change that had occurred: repentance meant that the soul of the former sorcerer was now free.

There are many episodes in the Holy Scriptures when the wise men compete with the righteous. Those who confess the Lord have always won. But the wicked did not always convert to the true faith after this. Cyprian did the right thing by admitting his errors and receiving baptism. This requires wisdom and courage. The Lord blessed him for this with the gift of healing diseases. I accepted Christ and Aglaid into my heart.


What happened next?

Very soon the former sorcerer was awarded the rank of deacon, then priest. Therefore, on the icons Cyprian is called a holy martyr (this means that the saint bore the holy rank during his lifetime), and Ustinya is called a martyr. Years passed, the virgin went to a monastery, and Cyprian became a bishop. But the main tests were ahead.

By order of Emperor Diocletian, the saints were captured and sentenced to torture. Seeing that they were not producing results, it was decided to behead the martyrs with a sword. The warrior who witnessed what was happening announced that he also accepted Christ. For this he was also executed. The veneration of Cyprian and Justinia began immediately after their death, as evidenced by written documents of that era.

The relics of the saints rest in Italy, as well as in Cyprus. In 2005 they were brought to Moscow. The Ark was available for worship in the Conception Monastery. If you want to address the saints at home, you can purchase an icon. Where to hang the image of Cyprian and Ustinha is not of fundamental importance. It is important that the shrine is located in an appropriate place, away from digital technology, entertainment posters, and photographs.

Special prayers have been written to address the saints; you should not deviate from them. You can ask in your own words for strengthening of faith and protection from enemies. But the main hope must be placed in the Lord Jesus Christ, pray to him more often, confess sins, wear a cross - this protection is quite enough, as the history of the saints demonstrates.

Prayer to the Hieromartyr Cyprian and the Martyr Justina

Oh, holy martyr Cyprian and martyr Justino! Hear our humble prayer. Even though you naturally died as a martyr for Christ during your temporary life, you do not depart from us in spirit, always following the commandments of the Lord, teaching us and patiently bearing your cross with us. Behold, boldness towards Christ God and His Most Pure Mother was acquired by nature. Even now, be prayer books and intercessors for us unworthy (names). Be our intercessors of the fortress, so that through your intercession we may remain unharmed from demons, wise men and evil men, glorifying the Holy Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Complete collection and description: a strong prayer to Cyprian and a remedy for witchcraft for the spiritual life of a believer.

Hieromartyr Cyprian

I want to give you the most powerful prayer against witchcraft and corruption that I have. I have never seen this prayer printed anywhere. I have been cherishing these leaves like the apple of my eye for more than ten years.

Whenever you know that a spell is being cast on you and your family, read this prayer every day, naming the names of those for whom you are asking. You can read over his head for a child. Adults read on their own. If the climate in the family or health has changed dramatically, then it will not be superfluous to read this prayer.

What is important. This is not just a prayer, but a prayer-reading from demons. Such prayer, like any similar cleansing, is important to carry out well prepared. Namely: physical fasting, spiritual fasting. Follow all rules. If you do not follow the rules, then the demons will not give you or the person you are reporting rest. Therefore, either don’t take it on or follow the rules. Such prayers are not read without fasting.

You can recite this prayer over water and give it to the “spoiled.”

We begin to say the prayer of the Holy Martyr Cyprian: in the days or in the nights, or at whatever hour you exercise, all the powers of resistance will fall away from the glory of the Living God.

This Hieromartyr, praying to God with all his soul, said: “Lord God, Mighty and Holy, King of kings, now hear the prayer of Thy servant Cyprian.”

Thousands upon thousands and darkness upon darkness stand before You, Angel and Archangel. You weigh the secret of the hearts of Your servant (name), appear to him, Lord, as Paul in chains and Thecla in fire. So, let me know You, for I am the first to create all my iniquities.

You, holding the cloud and the sky, have not rained on the garden tree, and that is the fruit of the uncreated. Idle wives wait out, and others do not conceive. They only looked at the fence of the city, and did not create anything. The rose will not bloom and the class will not vegetate; The grapes do not bear fruit, and the beasts do not bear fruit. The fish of the sea are not allowed to swim and the birds of the sky are forbidden to fly. So, You showed Your power with the prophet Elijah.

I pray to Thee, O Lord my God; All sorcery, and all evil demons tend towards the sin of man and commit sin on him, You, by Your power, forbid! Now, O Lord my God, the Strong and Great One, who has favored the unworthy, worthy of me to be, and partaker of Thy Holy flock, I pray to Thee, O Lord my God, whoever has this prayer in the house or with himself, do for him what he asks for with it.

Your Most Holy Majesty, who was merciful to me and did not want to destroy me with my iniquities; Thus, do not destroy anyone who prays to You with this prayer.

Strengthen the weak in faith! Strengthen the weak in spirit! Give reason to the desperate one and do not turn away everyone who resorts to Your Holy Name.

Even as I fall before You, Lord, I pray and ask for the holy your name: in every house and in every place, especially on Orthodox Christian Even if there is some sorcery from evil people or from demons, may this prayer be read over the head of a person or in the house and may one be freed from being bound by evil spirits in envy, flattery, jealousy, hatred, torment, intimidation, effective poisoning, from pagan eating and from any spells and oaths.

Let whoever, having acquired this prayer in his home, be kept from every trick of the devil, indulgence, poison by evil and crafty people, from spells and all witchcraft and sorcery, and may demons flee from him and may evil spirits recede. Lord my God, having power in heaven and on earth, for the sake of Thy Holy Name and for the sake of the unspeakable goodness of Thy Son, our God Jesus Christ, hear at this hour Thy unworthy servant (name), who honors this prayer and through it may all the devil be resolved intrigues.

Just as wax melts in the face of fire, so let all sorcery and evil spells perish from the face of a person who honors this prayer. Like the name, the Life-Giving Trinity, is enlightenment for us, and don’t we know another god than You? We believe in You, we worship You and we pray to You; protect, intercede and save us, O God, from every evil action and sorcery of evil people.

Just as You brought out sweet water from the stone to the sons of Moses, so, Lord God of Hosts, lay Your hand on Your servant (name), full of Your goodness and protect from all deeds.

Bless the house in it, may this prayer abide and everyone who honors my memory, send your mercy to him, Lord, and protect him from all sorcery. Be his helper and protector, O Lord.

Four rivers: Pison, Geon, Euphrates and Tigris: the Edenic man cannot hold back, so no sorcerer can manifest the affairs or dreams of demons before reading this prayer, I conjure by the Living God! May the demon be crushed and all the nasty and evil force, launched from evil people against the servant of God (name).

As he multiplied the years of Hezekiah the king, so multiply the years of him who has this prayer: by the service of the Angel, by the singing of the Seraphim, by the annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary from the Archangel Gabriel and the incorporeal for the sake of Her conception, our Lord Jesus Christ, by His glorious Nativity in Bethlehem, by the slaughter of Herod the king four times ten thousand infants and His Holy Baptism received in the Jordan River, fasting and temptation from the devil, His terrible victory and His most terrible judgment, His most terrible miracles in the world: He granted healing and cleansing. Give life to the dead, cast out demons, and fulfill His entry into Jerusalem as a King: - “Ossain to the Son of David - from the child crying to Thee, hear” the Holy Passion, the Crucifixion and Burial, enduring, and on the third day the Resurrection came, as it is written, and into heaven ascent. There are numerous Angels and Archangels singing, glorifying His rise, who sits at the right hand of the Father until His second coming to judge the living and the dead.

You gave authority to Your holy disciples and Apostles, saying to them: “Hold and hold on - decide and they will be resolved,” so through this prayer, allow every devilish sorcery over Your servant (name).

For the sake of Your Holy Great Name, I conjure and drive away all evil and evil souls and the combing of evil people and their sorceries, slander, witchcraft, eye damage, sorcery and every trick of the devil. I pray to You, O most merciful Lord, take me away from Your servant (name), and from his house, and from all his acquisitions.

For the sake of their prayers, I pray and ask You, Lord, drive away and overcome all malice and wickedness from Your servant (name), and let it flee to Tartarus.

I offer this prayer to the One and Invincible God, for may salvation befit all Orthodox people in that house, in which there is this prayer, written in seventy-two languages, and may all wickedness be resolved through it; either in the sea, or along the way, or in the source, or in the vault; either in the upper pose or in the lower one; either behind or in front; either in the wall, or in the roof, let it be resolved everywhere!

Cherubim and Seraphim; Authorities and Pristoli; Dominance and Power.

In one hour the thief entered heaven through prayer. Joshua, the sun and the moon, prayed a prayer. The prophet Daniel prayed and stopped the mouths of the lions. Three youths: Ananias, Azariah and Misail extinguish the flame of the cave with fiery prayer. I also pray to You, Lord, grant this prayer to everyone who prays to it.

I pray and ask the holy council of the prophets: Zechariah, Hosea, Jesse, Joel, Micah, Isaiah, Daniel, Jeremiah, Amos, Samuel, Elijah, Elisha, Nahum and the Prophet John the Forerunner and Baptist of the Lord: - I pray and ask the four Evangelists, Matthias, Mark , Luke and John the Theologian, and the holy Chief Apostles Peter and Paul, and the holy and righteous Godfather Joachim and Anna, and Joseph the betrothed, and James the Lord's brother according to the flesh, Simeon the God-Receiver, and Simeon the relative of the Lord, and Andrew Christ for the sake of the fool, and John the Merciful, and Ignatius the God-Bearer, and the Hieromartyr Ananias, and Roman the singer of the kontakion, and Mark the Greek, and Cyril the Patriarch of Jerusalem and the Venerable Ephraim the Syrian, and Mark the grave-digger, and the three Great Saints, Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and John Chrysostom, and others like them saints father of our saints Nicholas Archbishop of Mir Lycian miracle worker, and the holy metropolitans: Peter, Alexy, Jonah, Philip, Hermogenes, Innocent and Cyril, Moscow wonderworkers: Venerable Anthony, Theodosius and Athanasius, Kiev-Pechersk wonderworkers: St. Sergius and Nikon, Radonezh wonderworkers; Venerables Zosima and Savatius, Solovetsky Wonderworkers; Saints Guria and Barsanuphius, Kazan miracle workers; Like our holy fathers: Pachomius, Anthony, Theotosiya, Pimen the Great, and like our holy father Seraphim of Sarov; Samson and Daniel the Stylites; Maximus the Greek, monk Miletius Mount Athos; Nikon, Patriarch of Antioch, Great Martyr Kyriakos and his mother Iulita; Alexy, the man of God, and the holy venerable myrrh-bearing women: Mary, Magdalene, Euphrosyne, Xenia, Evdokia, Anastasia; The Holy Great Martyrs Paraskeva, Catherine, Fevronia, Marina, who shed their blood for You, Christ our God, and all the saints of the Father who pleased You, Lord, have mercy and save Your servant (name), may no evil and wickedness touch him or his house neither in the evening, nor in the morning, nor in the days, nor in the night, let him not touch.

Save him, Lord, from air, tartar, water, forest, yard and all kinds of other demons and spirits of evil.

I pray to You, Lord, even as this holy prayer of the Hieromartyr Cyprian was written, it was confirmed and marked by the Holy Trinity for the destruction and driving away of all evil, the enemy and adversary of demonic nets, catching people everywhere with the witchcraft and sorcery of Zadok and Naphael, called Ephil, and the daughters of Samuel, skilled in sorcery.

By the Word of the Lord, heaven and earth and everything under heaven were established; by the power of this prayer, all enemy obsession and indulgence were driven out. I call upon all the powers of heaven and Your ranks for help; Archangels: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Salafail, Yehudil, Barahail and my Guardian Angel: The power of Your Honest and Life-giving Cross and all the powers and spirits of heaven, and may Your servant, Lord (name), be observed, and may the wickedness of the devil be put to shame by all means By Heavenly Power to the glory of You, Lord, my Creator and to the glory of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, always now and ever and unto the ages of ages.

All saints and righteous ones, pray to the Merciful God for the servant (name), that he will preserve and have mercy on me from every enemy and adversary. (Say this three times and bow three times.)

Yes, prayer is very big, but its benefits are also enormous.

How to recognize damage and the evil eye

People who are fading before their eyes are often unaware of witchcraft and turn to different doctors who, unfortunately, cannot help. In order to save yourself or a loved one from the effects of black magic in time, you need to learn to recognize the presence of damage and the evil eye.

Over time, magicians learned to inflict such damage that leads to quick death. It would seem that everything is in order, there is no reason to worry, but in an instant the person leaves life.

That's why It’s worth checking yourself and your loved ones at least once a month for the presence of the black mantle of witchcraft.

To do this, place a clean glass on your head. cold water. Carefully break a fresh egg and pour it into the water, being careful not to damage the yolk. Sit quietly for 2 minutes.

Take the glass in your hands and carefully examine the contents. If the water remains clear and the yolk has not separated from the white, you are clean. When the water is cloudy, and the yolk has separated from the white, and you see strings in the glass, there is a problem. One thin thread is the evil eye.

Threads with small bubbles at the ends indicate serious damage. When the threads sink to the bottom, the damage was caused intentionally, most likely by an acquaintance who wants to hide his crime.

Don't panic, forewarned is forearmed. The presence of witchcraft is not a reason to give up, but on the contrary, you need to act. Begin to say a prayer to the Hieromartyr Cyprian. If you are afraid, contact a specialist. When a white magician begins a healing session, you must listen carefully to every word.

Great Martyr Cyprian and Holy Martyr Justina: Life Path

Cyprian was born into a family of dishonest parents who dedicated the baby to the service of Apollo. When the boy was 7 years old, he was given to be raised by sorcerers, who taught him demonic wisdom. At the age of 10, he went to Mount Olympus to prepare to serve the priests.

There he learned all sorts of devilish tricks:
  • He rewarded people with fatal diseases;
  • Damaged gardens, vineyards, fields;
  • Destroyed the harvest;
  • I experienced demonic transformations;
  • He brought strong winds that swept away everything in their path;
  • Produced frightening thunderstorms.

On the mountain he saw armies consisting of devils, led by a black prince. Knew pagan gods, ghosts. When Cyprian was learning to summon all evil spirits, he fasted for 40 days. After sunset he ate only acorns.

At the age of fifteen, he attended lessons taught by priests. From them he learned terrible demonic secrets.

This was not the end of Cyprian’s knowledge of the black world. He was in the service of Hera and Artemis. He learned seduction, calling the dead from their graves, extracting from them the secrets of the other world.

The last step was the study of stargazing.

At 30 years old, Cyprian was perfect in his activities. He was known as a terrible sorcerer, murderer, friend of the prince of hell, with whom he talked and saw.

Cyprian ruined many people, sacrificing them to demons and the prince of darkness. He helped to commit evil, taught those who wanted his skills. Some flew, others walked on water, and others swam in the clouds.

The Lord watched over the sinner and did not want him to die. The Almighty wanted to show people His mercy and prove that no sin can defeat His love for mankind. And the Almighty saved Cyprian.

There lived in that city a beautiful young girl Justina. She was born into a pagan family. But she served the Lord, converting her parents too.

The girl was as pure as a tear, went to church, observed church canons. The young man Aglaid, the son of rich parents, was once flattered by Justina. He swore his love for her, wanting to turn her into a slave for carnal pleasures. But she did not reciprocate his feelings, calling herself the bride of Christ.

Then he went to ask the sorcerer for help, promising to reward the magician with gold and silver. He promised to help. Cyprian sent both demons and the devil to Justina, but nothing worked. Justina frantically prayed to the Lord for help, and the Almighty protected his bride.

The demonic powerlessness infuriated Cyprian. He exposed Justina and her relatives to terrible dangers and suffering. But the girl did not renounce the Lord. Then Cyprian broke ties with the owner of hell and came to the house of the Lord, where he received a blessing by giving his books of magic to be burned.

Throughout their lives, Justina and Cyprian experienced severe torment for not worshiping the idol. They were beaten, thrown into a vat of boiling oil, flogged, and kept in prison. But nothing could break faith in God and fiery love for him.

The Great Martyr Cyprian and Justina were executed, and their bodies were thrown into the street. The wanderers secretly took them to Rome and handed them over to a woman named Rufina. She buried the martyrs. And wonderful healings and miracles still occur at the graves.

For hundreds of thousands of people, the prayer of Saint Cyprian is a life-giving source that resists devilish attacks.

Really strong prayer.

Hello. Many thanks for these prayers! Please tell me, is the ritual, which should be carried out for two weeks to protect against evil spells, read seven times, looking at the sunrise, if I can’t see the sunrise from my apartment, then is it possible to read a prayer on the street or not? And the fact that on the street I can only be well dressed in shoes and a headscarf, will this not be an obstacle to the ritual? Sorry for these questions, I want to do it right so that the result is good. Thanks in advance.

December 17, 2017 30th lunar day – New Moon. It's time to bring good things into life.
Icon - Holy Martyr Cyprian and Martyr Justina.
Commemoration - October 2-October 15

The legend about the holy martyrs Cyprian and Justinia has existed since ancient times. They lived at the end of the 3rd - beginning of the 4th century. Cyprian's homeland is supposed to have been Antioch, in northern Syria. It is known that Cyprian studied philosophy and magic in pagan Greece and in Egypt and surprised everyone with his knowledge of secret sciences while traveling around different countries and performing all kinds of “miracles” before the people. Arriving at your hometown Antioch, he amazed everyone with his abilities. At that time, the daughter of a pagan priest, Justinia, lived here. She was already enlightened by the Christian faith, the first idea of ​​which she received by chance, having heard words about Christ from the lips of a deacon who passed by her parents’ house while she was sitting by the window. The young pagan woman tried to learn more about Christ, the first news about Whom sank so deeply into her soul. Justinia fell in love with going to the Christian church, listening to the word of God, and finally accepted holy baptism. Soon she convinced her parents of the truth Christian faith. The pagan priest, having received Baptism, was ordained to the rank of presbyter, and his house became a pious Christian dwelling.

Meanwhile, Justinia, who had remarkable beauty, attracted the attention of a rich pagan youth named Aglaid. He asked her to become his wife, but Justinia, having devoted herself to Christ, refused to marry a pagan and carefully avoided even meeting him. He, however, persistently pursued her. Seeing the failure of all his efforts, Aglaid turned to the famous sorcerer Cyprian, thinking that everything was accessible to his mysterious knowledge, and asked the sorcerer to act with his art on the heart of Justinia.

Cyprian, hoping to receive a rich reward, actually used all the means that he could glean from the science of sorcery, and, calling on demons for help, tried to persuade Justinia to marry the young man who fell in love with her. Protected by the power of her complete devotion to the one Christ, Justinia did not succumb to any tricks or temptations, remaining adamant.

Meanwhile, a pestilence appeared in the city. A rumor was spread that the powerful sorcerer Cyprian, who failed in his sorcery, was taking revenge on the whole city for opposing Justinia, bringing a fatal illness to everyone. The frightened people approached Justinia as the culprit of the public disaster and convinced her to satisfy the sorcerer - to marry Aglaid. Justinia calmed the people and, with firm hope in God’s help, promised speedy liberation from the destructive disease. And indeed, as soon as she prayed to God, her pure and strong prayer, the disease stopped.

This victory and the triumph of the Christian woman were at the same time a complete disgrace to Cyprian, who considered himself a powerful sorcerer and boasted of his knowledge of the secrets of nature. But this also served to save a person gifted with a strong mind, which, mainly through error, was wasted on unworthy use. Cyprian realized that there was something higher than his knowledge and mysterious art, than that dark force, on whose help he counted, trying to amaze the unenlightened crowd. He realized that all this was nothing compared to the knowledge of the God whom Justinia confesses.

Seeing that all his means were powerless against a weak creature - a young girl armed only with prayer and the sign of the cross, Cyprian comprehended the meaning of these two truly omnipotent weapons. He came to the Christian bishop Anthimus († 302; commemorated September 3/16), told him about his errors and asked him to teach him the truths of the Christian faith in order to prepare for the one true path, revealed by the Son of God, and then received holy Baptism. A year later he was made a priest, and then a bishop, while Justinia was ordained a deaconesses and made head of the community of Christian virgins.

Inspired by a fiery love for God, Cyprian and Justinia did much to spread and establish Christian teaching. This brought upon them the wrath of the opponents and persecutors of Christianity. Having received a denunciation that Cyprian and Justinia were turning the people away from the gods, the governor of that region, Eutolmius, seized them and ordered them to be tortured for their faith in Christ, which they unshakably confessed. Then he sent them to the Roman emperor, who was at that time in Nicomedia, by whose order they were beheaded with the sword.

Turning from magical art, O God-Wise One, to the knowledge of the Divine, you appeared to the world as the wisest physician, granting healing to those who honor you, Cyprian and Justina: with this we pray to the Lover of Mankind, the Lady, to save our souls.

Prayer
Hieromartyr Cyprian
Read in case of emergency, in case of illness and trouble.

We begin to say the prayer of the Holy Martyr Cyprian: in the days or in the nights, or at whatever hour you exercise, all the powers of resistance will fall away from the glory of the Living God.
This Hieromartyr, praying to God with all his soul, said: “Lord God, Mighty and Holy, King of kings, now hear the prayer of Thy servant Cyprian.”
Thousands upon thousands and darkness upon darkness stand before You, Angel and Archangel. You weigh the secret of the hearts of Your servant (name), appear to him, Lord, as Paul in chains and Thecla in fire. So, let me know You, for I am the first to create all my iniquities.
You, holding the cloud and the sky, have not rained on the garden tree, and that is the fruit of the uncreated. Idle wives wait out, and others do not conceive. They only looked at the fence of the city, and did not create anything. The rose will not bloom and the class will not vegetate; The grapes do not bear fruit, and the beasts do not bear fruit. The fish of the sea are not allowed to swim and the birds of the sky are forbidden to fly. So, You showed Your power with the prophet Elijah.
I pray to Thee, O Lord my God; All sorcery, and all evil demons tend towards the sin of man and commit sin on him, You, by Your power, forbid! Now, O Lord my God, the Strong and Great One, who has favored the unworthy, worthy of me to be, and partaker of Thy Holy flock, I pray to Thee, O Lord my God, whoever has this prayer in the house or with himself, do for him what he asks for with it.
Your Most Holy Majesty, who was merciful to me and did not want to destroy me with my iniquities; Thus, do not destroy anyone who prays to You with this prayer.
Strengthen the weak in faith! Strengthen the weak in spirit! Give reason to the desperate one and do not turn away everyone who resorts to Your Holy Name.
Even as I fall before You, Lord, I pray and ask holy name Yours: in every house and in every place, especially on an Orthodox Christian, there is some kind of sorcery from evil people or from demons, may this prayer be read over the head of a person or in the house and may he be freed from being bound by evil spirits in envy, flattery, jealousy, hatred, malice, intimidation, effective poisoning, from pagan poisoning and from any spell and oath.
Let whoever, having acquired this prayer in his home, be kept from every trick of the devil, indulgence, poison by evil and crafty people, from spells and all witchcraft and sorcery, and may demons flee from him and may evil spirits recede. Lord my God, having power in heaven and on earth, for the sake of Thy Holy Name and for the sake of the unspeakable goodness of Thy Son, our God Jesus Christ, hear at this hour Thy unworthy servant (name), who honors this prayer and through it may all the devil be resolved intrigues.
Just as wax melts in the face of fire, so let all sorcery and evil spells perish from the face of a person who honors this prayer. Like the name, the Life-Giving Trinity, is enlightenment for us, and don’t we know another god than You? We believe in You, we worship You and we pray to You; protect, intercede and save us, O God, from every evil action and sorcery of evil people.
Just as You brought out sweet water from the stone to the sons of Moses, so, Lord God of Hosts, lay Your hand on Your servant (name), full of Your goodness and protect from all deeds.
Bless the house in it, may this prayer abide and everyone who honors my memory, send your mercy to him, Lord, and protect him from all sorcery. Be his helper and protector, O Lord.

May the demon be crushed and all the nasty and evil force unleashed by evil people on the servant of God (name) be driven away.

There are numerous Angels and Archangels singing, glorifying His rise, who sits at the right hand of the Father until His second coming to judge the living and the dead.

Description of life path

The philosopher Cyprian lived in Antioch. From an early age, he was given by his parents to serve the pagan deity Apollo. Upon reaching the age of 7, his mother gave him to sorcerers so that they could teach the boy witchcraft wisdom. At the age of 10, he was sent to Mount Olympus, where he prepared for priestly service. There was a huge number of idols in which the demonic army lived. Here the boy learned to cause bad weather, turn back the wind, harm orchards, send illnesses and sorrows to humanity, summon ghosts, raise the dead from their graves and talk to them. By the age of 15, he comprehended many demonic secrets and went to Argos, and by the age of 30, he perfectly mastered various methods of crime, learned astronomy, murder, and became a faithful slave of the prince of hell. The King of Darkness gave Cyprian a regiment of demons to help him. Cyprian destroyed the souls of many people by teaching disastrous sorcery: they soared through the air, walked on water, soared into the clouds on snow-white boats. People turned to him for help in enmity, revenge, and envy.

The Almighty did not want the death of Cyprian’s soul and deigned to save the great sinner. And it was like this...

There lived a girl named Justina in Antioch; her ancestors were also pagans. One day a girl accidentally overheard a conversation between a deacon and one of the parishioners about the salvation of the soul, the incarnation of Christ, about His birth from of the Blessed Virgin and ascension to heaven after terrible suffering for the salvation of the human race. Justina’s heart sank, her soul gradually began to see clearly. The girl wanted to learn faith. She secretly came to God's abode and over time believed in Christ. Soon she convinced her parents of this, who begged the Christian bishop to baptize them in Orthodoxy. Justina's father was appointed to the rank of presbyter. Edesei lived in virtue for a year and a half, after which he peacefully completed his earthly journey. Justina loved Christ, the Heavenly Bridegroom, with all her soul, and served him through virginity, fervent prayer, fasting and strict abstinence. But the forces of darkness, seeing the girl’s virtues, caused her great troubles.

In the same city the young man Aglaid lived in luxury and worldly bustle. Having met Justina, he was struck by her beauty, and immediately lustful intentions leapt into his soul. He tried to seduce the girl, persuaded her to become his wife, spoke flattering speeches, and pursued her absolutely everywhere she went. Chaste Justina answered only one thing: “My Groom is Christ.” Aglaid decided to forcibly abduct the girl with the help of reckless friends, and one day he waylaid her on the street and forcibly dragged her into his home. People came running to the desperate cries of the girl and freed the virgin from the wicked man. Aglaid conceived a new crime: he came to Cyprian for help, promised in return large sums gold and silver. He promised to help and summoned to himself a spirit capable of inflaming passion for the guy in Justin’s heart. The demon calmly entered the house and tried to bite the girl’s flesh.

Justina, as usual, was praying at night and suddenly felt a storm of carnal lust in her body. Immediately, sinful thoughts arose in her and she remembered her admirer Aglaida. But she stopped short, realizing that lust had come from a demon in her chaste body. She prayed to Christ for help. The Lord helped and the girl’s heart calmed down, and the devil returned to Cyprian with bad news.

Then the sorcerer decided to send a stronger and more evil demon to the girl. He furiously attacked Justina, but she again prayed to the Almighty, abstained, fasted most strictly and again defeated the devil.

For the third time, Cyprian sent a skilled demonic prince, who accepted female image. He put on ladies' clothes and went in to Justina. He tried to seduce the girl with cunning speeches, but she recognized the evil seducer and immediately crossed herself with the Cross, prayed to the Savior and the devil immediately disappeared.

The saddened Cyprian decided to take revenge on the maiden and sent troubles to her home, to her relatives and friends, neighbors and acquaintances, killed cattle, and struck bodies with ailments and ulcers. The whole city was engulfed in disaster, people knew the reason for the great execution. They persuaded Justina to marry Aglaid and save the people. But the girl calmed them down, prayed to God, and immediately the people recovered, but they greatly mocked Cyprian’s magic. In a fit of anger, he attacked the demon, then the devil rushed at Cyprian and tried to kill him. The man remembered that demons are terribly afraid of the Sign of the Cross; he, barely alive, made the sign of the Cross over himself. The devil roared like a lion and left.

Then the sorcerer went to the bishop and begged him to perform the Sacrament of Baptism on him. Cyprian confessed his own atrocities to him and gave him the sorcery Talmuds to be burned. Bishop Anfim taught him the Orthodox faith and, seeing his heartfelt devotion to Christ, immediately baptized him.

Read more about the saints:

Cyprian soon became a reader and was then ordained to the minor priesthood. He later became a bishop and spent the rest of his life in holiness, caring for the believers. He made Justina a deaconess, and soon entrusted her with being the abbess of the monastery. Many pagans, thanks to Cyprian, accepted Orthodox faith, thereby serving idols began to cease.

During the persecution of Christians, Cyprian and Justina were slandered and imprisoned. The man was ordered to be hanged and his body flogged, and the girl was ordered to be beaten in the face and eyes. After hellish torment, they were thrown into a bubbling cauldron of boiling water, which, surprisingly, did not harm the people. Then they were handed over to be beheaded by the sword. The bodies of the martyrs were taken to Rome and buried with honor, and in the 13th century they were transported to Cyprus. At the tombs of the holy martyrs, many healings occurred among people who flocked to them with faith.

With their prayers may the Lord heal our illnesses, both physical and mental! Amen.

Prayer to Saints Cyprian and Ustina

Cyprian, the famous sorcerer and philosopher, came from Carthage and lived in Antioch during the reign of Decius. Coming from wicked parents, he was dedicated by them as a child to serve the pagan god Apollo. For seven years he was given to sorcerers to learn sorcery and demonic wisdom.

Upon reaching the age of ten, he was sent by his parents to prepare for priestly service on Mount Olympus, which the pagans called the home of the gods; there were countless idols in which demons lived. On this mountain, Cyprian comprehended various demonic transformations, learned to change the properties of the air, induce winds, produce thunder and rain, disturb the waves of the sea, harm gardens, vineyards and fields, send diseases and ulcers to people. He saw there countless hordes of demons with the prince of darkness at their head, whom some stood before, others served, others exclaimed, praising their prince, and others were sent into the world to seduce people. There he also saw pagan gods and goddesses in many images, as well as various ghosts and apparitions, which he learned to summon during a strict forty-day fast; After sunset he ate, and not bread or any other food, but oak acorns.

When he was fifteen years old, he began to listen to the lessons of the seven great priests, from whom he learned many demonic secrets. Then he went to the city of Argos, where, after serving the goddess Hera for some time, he learned many seductions from her priest. He also lived in Tavropol, serving Artemis, and from there he went to Lacedaemon, where he learned to use various sorceries and induction to call the dead from their graves and make them speak. At the age of twenty, Cyprian came to Egypt and in the city of Memphis he studied even greater sorcery and sorcery. In his thirtieth year he went to the Chaldeans and, having learned stargazing there, completed his studies, after which he returned to Antioch, being committed in every crime.

Fact 2. Cyprian was loved and honored by the prince of darkness himself

A sorcerer, sorcerer and murderer, Cyprian became a great friend and faithful slave of the infernal prince, with whom he talked face to face, receiving great honor from him, as he himself openly testified.

“Believe me,” he said, “that I saw the prince of darkness himself, for I appeased him with sacrifices; I greeted him and spoke to him and his elders; he loved me, praised my intelligence and said in front of everyone: “Here is the new Zamri, always ready for obedience and worthy of communicating with us!” And he promised to make me a prince upon my departure from the body, and during my earthly life to help me in everything; At the same time, he gave me a regiment of demons to serve. When I left him, he turned to me with the words: “Take courage, zealous Cyprian, get up and accompany me: let all the demonic elders marvel at you.” As a result of this, all his princes were attentive to me, seeing the honor shown to me.

His appearance was like a flower; his head was crowned with a crown made (not in reality, but ghostly) of gold and shiny stones, as a result of which the whole space was illuminated, and his clothes were amazing. When he turned in one direction or another, the whole place shook; many evil spirits of various degrees obediently stood at his throne. Then I gave all of myself to his service, obeying his every command.”

This is how Cyprian himself spoke about himself after his conversion.

Fact 3. Cyprian was revered by the people as the chief priest

While living in Antioch, Cyprian seduced many people to all sorts of iniquities, killed many with poison and sorcery, and sacrificed young men and maidens to demons. He taught many his disastrous sorcery: some to fly through the air, others to swim in boats on the clouds, and others to walk on water. He was revered and glorified by all pagans as the chief priest and wisest servant of their vile gods. Many turned to him in their needs, and he helped them with the demonic power with which he was filled: he helped some in fornication, others in anger, enmity, revenge, envy.

Fact 4. Justina herself converted from paganism and brought her family to Christianity

At that time, there lived in the same place, in Antioch, a certain girl named Justina. She came from pagan parents: her father was an idol priest named Edesius, and her mother was called Cleodonia. One day, sitting at the window in her house, this girl, then already of age, accidentally heard words of salvation from the lips of a deacon named Prailia passing by. Justina wanted to learn the faith better and more completely from the deacon, but did not dare to look for him, restrained by girlish modesty. However, she secretly went to the Church of Christ and, often listening to the word of God, with the influence of the Holy Spirit on her heart, she believed in Christ.

Soon she convinced her mother of this, and then led her elderly father to faith. When her father Edesius strengthened himself in Christ's faith, then the bishop, seeing his piety, made him a presbyter. After this, having lived virtuously and in the fear of God for a year and six months, Edesius ended his life in holy faith.

Fact 5. To destroy Justina, the enemy inflamed the passion of a rich pagan youth for her.

Justina labored valiantly in keeping the commandments of the Lord and, having loved her Bridegroom Christ, served Him with diligent prayers, virginity and chastity, fasting and great abstinence.

But the enemy, the hater of the human race, seeing her life like this, envied her virtues and began to harm her, causing various disasters and sorrows.

At that time, there lived in Antioch a certain young man named Aglaid, the son of rich and noble parents. He lived luxuriously, surrendering to the vanity of this world. One day he saw Justina when she was going to church and was struck by her beauty. The devil instilled evil intentions in his heart. Inflamed with lust, Aglaid began to try by all means to gain the favor and love of Justina and, through seduction, to lead the pure lamb of Christ to the defilement he had planned. He watched all the paths along which the girl had to go, and, meeting her, spoke flattering speeches to her, praising her beauty and glorifying her; showing his love for her, he tried to entice her into fornication with a cunningly woven network of seduction.

The girl turned away and avoided him, abhorring him and not even wanting to listen to his flattering and crafty speeches. Not cooling in his lust for her beauty, the young man sent to her with a request that she agree to become his wife. She answered him: “My groom is Christ; I serve Him and for His sake I maintain my purity. He protects both my soul and body from all defilement.”

Hearing such an answer from the chaste maiden, Aglaid, incited by the devil, became even more inflamed with passion. He decided to kidnap her, but his attempt failed.

Not knowing what to do next, he, with an increase in unclean lust in him, decided on a new evil deed: he went to the great sorcerer and sorcerer - Cyprian, the priest of idols, and, telling him his grief, asked him for help, promising to give him a lot of gold and silver. After listening to Aglaidas, Cyprian consoled him, promising to fulfill his desire.

Then taking books on his secret art, he called on one of the wicked spirits, in whom he was sure that he could soon inflame Justina’s heart with passion for this young man. The demon handed him a vessel filled with something. Cyprian called Aglaidas and sent him to secretly sprinkle Justina's house from the devil's vessel. When this was done, the prodigal demon entered there with kindled arrows of carnal lust, in order to wound the girl’s heart with fornication, and inflame her flesh with unclean lust.

Fact 6. Fornication overtook Justina when she began to pray at night

Justina had the custom of offering prayers to the Lord every night. And when, according to custom, she got up at three o'clock in the morning and prayed to God, she suddenly felt excitement in her body, a storm of bodily lust and the flame of hell fire. She remained in such excitement and internal struggle for quite a long time: the young man Aglaid came to her memory, and bad thoughts were born to her.

The girl was surprised and ashamed of herself, feeling that her blood was boiling like in a cauldron; She was now thinking about what she had always abhorred as filth. But in her prudence, Justina realized that this struggle arose in her from the devil; She immediately turned to the weapon of the sign of the cross, ran to God with warm prayer and from the depths of her heart cried out to Christ, her Bridegroom: “Lord my God, Jesus Christ! Behold, my enemies rose up against me, prepared a net to ensnare me, and exhausted my soul. But in the night I remembered Your name and rejoiced, and now, when they oppress me, I run to You and hope that my enemy will not triumph over me. For You know, Lord my God, that I, Your servant, have preserved the purity of my body for You and entrusted my soul to You. Save Your sheep, good Shepherd, and do not give them over to be devoured by the beast that seeks to devour me; grant me victory over the evil lust of my flesh.”

Having prayed long and earnestly, the holy virgin put the enemy to shame. Defeated by her prayer, he fled from her in shame, and calm again came in Justina’s body and heart; the flame of lust went out, the struggle ceased, the boiling blood calmed down. Justina glorified God and sang a song of victory. The demon returned to Cyprian with the sad news that he had achieved nothing.

Fact 7. The demons could not even stand the name of the righteous Justina and fled from him

Cyprian summoned a more evil demon and sent him to seduce Justina. He went and did much more than the first, attacking the girl with greater fury. But she armed herself with warm prayer and took upon herself an even stronger feat: she put on a hair shirt and mortified her flesh with abstinence and fasting, eating only bread and water. Having thus tamed the passions of her flesh, Justina defeated the devil and drove him away in shame.

He, like the first, having accomplished nothing, returned to Cyprian.

Then Cyprian called one of the demonic princes, told him about the weakness of the sent demons, who could not defeat one girl, and asked him for help. Having reassured Cyprian and promised to seduce the girl in other ways, the demonic prince took on the appearance of a woman and entered Justina. Justina recognized the cunning seducer-devil and defeated him more skillfully than Eve. She immediately resorted to the protection of the Cross of the Lord and placed its honorable sign on her face, and turned her heart to Christ, her Bridegroom. And the devil immediately disappeared with even greater shame than the first two demons.

In great confusion, the proud prince of demons returned to Cyprian. Cyprian was indignant at the devil for disgracing him, and, blaspheming the demon, said: “Such is your strength that even a weak maiden defeats you!”

Then the devil, wanting to console Cyprian, made another attempt: he took on the image of Justina and went to Aglaid in the hope that, having accepted him for the real Justina, the young man would satisfy his desire, and thus neither his demonic weakness would be revealed, nor Cyprian will not be put to shame. And so, when the demon came to Aglaid in the form of Justina, he jumped up in unspeakable joy, ran up to the imaginary virgin, hugged her and began to kiss her, saying: “It’s good that you came to me, beautiful Justina!”

But as soon as the young man uttered the name of the virgin, the demon immediately disappeared, not being able to bear even the name of Justina.

Fact 8. Honorary citizens of the city asked Justina not to grieve Cyprian and marry Aglaid

Cyprian began to take revenge for his shame and with his sorcery brought various disasters on the house of Justina and on the house of all her relatives, neighbors and acquaintances, just as the devil once did on the righteous Job. He killed their cattle, struck their slaves with plagues, and thus plunged them into excessive sorrow. Finally, he struck Justina with the disease, so that she lay in bed, and her mother cried for her. Justina consoled her mother with the words of the prophet David: “I will not die, but I will live and tell the works of the Lord” (Ps. 117:17).

Cyprian brought disaster not only on Justina and her relatives, but also on the entire city, by God’s permission, as a result of his indomitable rage and great shame. Ulcers appeared on animals and various diseases among people; and, through demonic action, a rumor spread that the great priest Cyprian would execute the city for Justina’s resistance to him. Then the most honorable citizens came to Justina and angrily urged her not to grieve Cyprian any more and to marry Aglaidas, in order to avoid even greater disasters because of her for the whole city. She calmed everyone down, saying that soon all the disasters caused by Cyprian with the help of demons would stop. And so it happened. When Saint Justina prayed fervently to God, immediately all demonic obsession ceased; all were healed of ulcers and recovered from diseases. When such a change took place, people glorified Christ, and they mocked Cyprian and his magical cunning, so that out of shame he could no longer appear among people and avoided meeting even his acquaintances.

Fact 9. Struggling with the devil, Cyprian prayed: “God of Justin, help me!”

Convinced that nothing could defeat the power of the sign of the cross and the Name of Christ, Cyprian came to his senses and said to the devil: “Oh, destroyer and seducer of all, the source of all uncleanness and defilement! Now I have recognized your weakness. For if you fear even the shadow of the cross and tremble at the Name of Christ, then what will you do when Christ Himself comes upon you? If you cannot defeat those who cross themselves, then whom will you tear out of the hands of Christ? Now I have realized what a nonentity you are; You can’t even take revenge! Having listened to you, I, the unfortunate one, was seduced and believed your cunning. Get away from me, you damned one, get away, for I should beg the Christians to have mercy on me. Should I contact pious people so that they would save me from death and take care of my salvation. Depart, depart from me, lawless one, enemy of truth, adversary and hater of all good.”

Hearing this, the devil rushed at Cyprian to kill him, and, attacking, began to beat and crush him. Finding no protection anywhere and not knowing how to help himself and get rid of the fierce demonic hands, Cyprian, already barely alive, remembered the sign of the holy cross, by the power of which Justina resisted all demonic power, and exclaimed: “God of Justina, help me!” Then, raising his hand, he crossed himself, and the devil immediately jumped away from him, like an arrow shot from a bow. Having gathered his courage, Cyprian became bolder and, calling on the name of Christ, made the sign of the cross and stubbornly resisted the demon, cursing and reproaching him. The devil, standing far from him and not daring to approach, for fear of the sign of the cross and the Name of Christ, threatened Cyprian in every possible way, saying: “Christ will not deliver you from my hands!” Then, after long and furious attacks on Cyprian, the demon roared like a lion and left.

Further events in the life of Saints Cyprian and Justina are briefly outlined in the akathist. Cyprian asked the Christian bishop Anfis to baptize him, but he, knowing that Cyprian was a great and terrible sorcerer for everyone, did not believe. Then Cyprian, in the middle of the city, burned all his books of magic, repented greatly, and remained in fasting and prayer. Seeing his zeal and devotion to the faith of Christ, the bishop baptized him, then made him a reader, on the twentieth day he was made a subdeacon, on the 30th day he was made a deacon, and a year later he was ordained a priest. Cyprian changed his life, increasing his exploits every day, constantly mourning his previous ones. evil deeds. He was soon installed as a bishop. He appointed the holy maiden Justina a deaconess, and then entrusted her with a nunnery, making her abbess over other Christian maidens. With his behavior and instruction, he converted many pagans and won them for the Church of Christ. Thus, idolatry began to cease in that country, and the glory of Christ increased.

Fact 10. Before his martyrdom, Cyprian asked that Justina be executed first - he was afraid that she would be frightened at the sight of his death and would renounce Christ

Seeing the strict life of Saint Cyprian, his concern for the faith of Christ and the salvation of human souls, the devil gnashed his teeth at him and prompted the pagans to slander him before the ruler eastern country in that he disgraced the gods, turned many people away from them, and glorified Christ, who was hostile to their gods. The governor ordered Cyprian and Justina to be seized and put in prison. The torturer ordered the saint to be hanged and his body to be planed, and Saint Justina to be beaten on the lips and eyes. Throughout their long torment, they unceasingly confessed Christ and endured everything with thanksgiving. Then the tormentor imprisoned them and tried with gentle admonition to return them to idolatry. When he was unable to convince them, he ordered them to be thrown into the cauldron; but the boiling cauldron did not cause them any harm, and they, as if in a cool place, glorified God.

Seeing this, one idol priest named Athanasius said: “In the name of the god Asclepius, I will also throw myself into this fire and shame those wizards.” But as soon as the fire touched him, he died immediately.

Seeing this, the tormentor was frightened and, not wanting to judge them any longer, sent the martyrs to the ruler Claudius in Nicomedia, describing everything that happened to him. This ruler condemned them to be beheaded by the sword.

When they were brought to the place of execution, Cyprian asked himself some time to pray so that Justina would be executed first: he was afraid that Justina would not be frightened at the sight of his death. She joyfully bowed her head under the sword and reposed before her Bridegroom, Christ.

Seeing the innocent death of these martyrs, a certain Theoktistus, who was present there, greatly regretted them and, having inflamed his heart towards God, fell to Saint Cyprian and, kissing him, declared himself a Christian. Together with Cyprian, he was immediately condemned to beheading. So they gave their souls into the hands of God; their bodies lay unburied for six days. Some of the strangers who were there secretly took them and took them to Rome, where they gave them to a virtuous and holy woman named Rufina, a relative of Claudius Caesar. She buried the bodies of saints with honor Martyrs of Christ: Cyprian, Justina and Theoctistus. At their graves many healings took place among those who came to them with faith.
