But in those days, travel was very long and very dangerous - wild animals, robbers, military enemies, bad weather - everything was against a person. Therefore, prayer has always been necessary for travelers.

Saint Nicholas never flew by plane, today before taking off you can briefly address him: “Saint Nicholas, pray to God for us!” - cross yourself, protect your child with the sign of the cross, and you can safely surrender into the hands of God. It is impossible to predict one's fate, but one can prepare for a meeting with the Creator. It is in our hands, if we work on ourselves daily, then fear will gradually disappear and only the joy of communion with God will remain.

A special prayer has already been compiled for those traveling by air, it can be found at the end of the material. Read it before take off. After a safe landing, be sure to express gratitude, at least briefly (“Glory to You, Lord!” - and cross yourself).

According to statistics, much more often people die in car accidents, alas. Therefore, every time parting with someone, you need to pray for a person, wish him well and peace. Prayer for those traveling by car should be especially intensified.
