It is time to schedule house blessings. Each year after Theophany, we make it a priority to bless our homes. Just as our churches are blessed with Holy Water each year at Theophany, so it is with our homes.
How often are homes blessed? There is no straight answer to this question. Typically, homes are blessed annually following Theophany (Epiphany), but they can be blessed at any time. For example, when you move into a new home, after new construction or renovations, or during a distressing time, you are encouraged to invite your priest to bless your home.
What do we need to prepare? Please schedule a time with your priest and family members. The items needed for the blessing include a bowl of water, a candle, an icon, the names of all household members, and a censer if you have one.
To schedule a house blessing, please call Fr. Aleksandar Vlajković at 781-771-2030 or email fatheraco@stsavaboston.org.
