Rocket Troops and Artillery Day: prayers and congratulations to the defenders of the Fatherland

On November 19, Russia celebrates Missile Forces and Artillery Day, a holiday dedicated to those who ensure the country's defense capability, ensuring its security on various fronts. For more information, see the Izvestia article.

The history of the holiday

The Day of Rocket Troops and Artillery was established in 1964 in memory of the creation of artillery troops in Russia.

In modern years, this unit remains an integral part of the Russian armed forces. Military gunners and rocket scientists carry out operations related to precision strikes, which is important in the modern world.

Prayers to the defenders of the Fatherland

Prayers for the protection of soldiers are heard in temples and in military units where festive events are held. These prayers can be said both during church services and in personal prayers to ask for God's protection for all those who protect the peace and security of our country.

This is an abbreviated version of one of the many prayers: "Lord, bless their service in the army, on land, in the air and at sea, on the road, flying and sailing, and in every place of Your dominion. O Lord, preserve them by the power of Your Precious and Life-giving Cross under Your holy roof from flying bullets, arrows, swords, fire, deadly wounds, drowning and futile death. Lord, protect them from all visible and invisible enemies, from all misfortunes, evils, misfortunes, betrayal and captivity. Amen to that."

Congratulations to the defenders

It is necessary to congratulate the fighters on this important day, emphasizing not only professionalism and perseverance, but also expressing gratitude for self-sacrifice and loyalty to the Motherland.

Congratulations from the leadership may sound like this: "Dear defenders of the Motherland! On this day, I want to express my deepest respect and gratitude to you for your invaluable service. Your dedication and high professionalism ensure protection from any threats. I wish you good health, good luck in your service and a peaceful sky over your head. Thank you for your loyalty to duty!"

Congratulations for colleagues can be as follows: "I cordially congratulate you on the Day of the Rocket Forces and Artillery! Your strength and steadfastness are the foundation of our country's defense. We wish you good health, loyal comrades in arms and bright victories on all fronts. Happy holidays!"

Congratulations with an emphasis on prayer can be as follows: "On this day, when we celebrate the holiday of rocket troops and artillery, we remember that your service is not only strength and professionalism, but also a deep faith in the defense of the Fatherland. May the Lord protect you and grant you perseverance in any trials. Prayer for you is gratitude for your service. We wish you a peaceful sky and a successful service!"
