Orthodox Prayer for Blessing Grapes on the 6th August
Let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, this new fruit of the vine, which through favourable weather, showers of rain and temperate seasons you have been well pleased to reach this state of perfect ripeness, that it may be for us, who partake of this fruit of the vine, a source of joy, and for those who have offered a gift a source of pardon of sins through the sacred and holy Body and Blood of your Christ, with whom you are blessed together with your all-holy, good and life-giving Spirit, now and for ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
