May Christ our true God, risen from the dead, place the souls of His departed servants, the victims of the Holodomor genocide, in the abode of the Saints, grant them rest in the bosom of Abraham, and number them among the righteous, through the prayers of His most pure Mother, of the holy, glorious, and praiseworthy Apostles, of our venerable and God‐bearing Fathers, and of all the Saints; may He have mercy on us and save us, for He is good and loves mankind.
