House Blessing at Theophany


Priest: Blessed is our God, always, now and ever, and unto ages of ages.



Deacond: Let us pray to the Lord.



Priest: Our God our Saviour, the True Light, who wast baptized by John in the Jordan to renew all men by the water of regeneration, and who condescended to enter under the roof of Zacchaeus, and thereby brought salvation to him and all his household: Do now also, the same Lord, keep safe from harm all those who dwell herein. Vouchsafe them sanctification, purification and health of body, and grant their petitions which are unto salvation and life everlasting: For blessed are You, O Christ our God, and to You we give glory, together with Your Father, without beginning, and Your All Holy, Good, and Life-Creating Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages.



Troparion is sung continuously while water is used to bless all parts of the home


Tone 1


At Your Baptism * in the Jordan, O Lord,
the worship of the Trinity was made manifest.
For the Voice of the Father bore witness to You
and called You His Beloved Son.
The Spirit in the form of a dove confirmed the truth of His word.
O Christ our God who have revealed Yourself //
and enlightened the world, glory to You.


Ἐν Ἰορδάνῃ βαπτιζομένου σου Κύριε,
ἡ τῆς Τριάδος ἐφανερώθη προσκύνησις·
τοῦ γὰρ Γεννήτορος ἡ φωνὴ προσεμαρτύρει σοι,
ἀγαπητόν σε Υἱὸν ὀνομάζουσα·
καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα ἐν εἴδει περιστερᾶς,
ἐβεβαίου τοῦ λόγου τὸ ἀσφαλές.
Ὁ ἐπιφανεὶς Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός,
καὶ τὸν κόσμον φωτίσας,
δόξα σοι.


Коли в Йордані хрестився Ти, Господи,
відкрилось поклоніння Святій Тройці,
бо голос Отця про Тебе свідчив,
називаючи Тебе улюбленим Сином,
і Дух у вигляді голубиному ці слова стверджував.
Слава Тобі, Христе Боже, // що з’явився і світ просвітив.






Priest: Glory to You, O Christ our God and our Hope. Glory to You.


Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen. Lord have mercy. (3 times) Father (Master), bless.


Priest: May Christ our True God, who deigned to be baptized by John in the Jordan for the sake of our salvation, through the prayers of His Most-Pure Mother, of the Holy, Glorious and All-Praised Apostles; of the Holy Forebears of Christ, Joachim and Anna, and of all the Saints, have mercy on us and save us for He is Good and the Lover of Mankind.
