Old Believer handwritten prayers. A separate notebook.
Laid paper with traces of stitching. Size 11 x 17.5 cm. Excellent preservation.
In the notebook there are prayers, including: "Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak ..." and "Behold, the Bridegroom comes in the midnight ..." in Church Slavonic [under titles]. 
["Behold, the Bridegroom comes in midnight ..." - this prayer sounds in the church in the first three days of Holy Week. It contains a call to spiritual vigilance. The earthly life of a person is a test, a preparation for meeting Christ and eternal life. But no one knows when, at what moment, his earthly path will end. “In what I find, in that I judge, ” says the Lord.] u
