Prayers for successful fishing are served in the temples of Kamchatkatranslated

July 16, 2026 · 1 min read

With the blessing of Archbishop Theodore of Petropavlovsk and Kamchatka, prayers are served in the churches of the diocese for successful fishing during the fishing season in Kamchatka. At the Divine Liturgy, a prayer is offered to the Lord for the blessing of the fishermen, asking for the help of the holy apostles Peter and Paul. The Holy Scriptures closely connect the apostles with fishing. Therefore, a fisherman’s prayer for a good catch is often addressed specifically to them.

Сергій ШевченкоIt is good that such prayers are served. Our fishermen in Vinnytsia also often mention the apostle Peter, because he himself was a fisherman. And in Kamchatka, probably, this catch really depends more than here in Southern Buza.

Петро ШевчукYes, Serhiy, Apostle Peter is like his brother to fishermen. In Vinnytsia, too, many people put a candle to him before going to the Bug. And tell me, do you often have a better catch in Southern Buz after prayer, or does it depend more on the weather?
