A man lighting a candle among many lit candles in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre
Orthodox

A candle lit, a prayer carried

Cannot make the pilgrimage yet? Our Jerusalem team will carry your prayer to Golgotha, Deir es Sultan and the holy places, light a candle for you, and remember your living and your departed at the Divine Liturgy

This is not a product we sell

Our gift to those who cannot come

For nineteen years we have carried prayers and lit candles for families who could not travel, quietly, as a kindness. We still do. What you pay covers only the real costs, the journey into the Old City and the candle itself. Our team's time is carried by AJET, not by you. We keep nothing from it. This is not a product we sell. It is our way of standing in for you at the holy places, until the day you can stand there yourself

Candle lighting place at Golgotha

ጎልጎታ ላይ ጌታችን በተሰቀለበት በስተቀኝ በኩል በሁለት የተከፈለ የሻማ ማብሪያና መጸለያ ቦታ ይገኛል። ይህ የሻማ ማብሪያ ለሁለት የተከፈለውም እንደኛው በህይወት ሳለን ለማንኛውም መሻታችን የምናበራበት ሲሆን ሁለተኛው ደግሞ ከዚህ ዓለም ለተለዩን መታሰቢያ ጸሎት በማቅረብ ሻማ የምናበራበት ነው

How it works

Three quiet steps

የጸሎት መልክትዎን የምናደርስበት ሶስቱ ደርጃዎች

  1. I

    Choose a place and write your prayer

    Choose the holy place, then write your prayer or the names you carry in your heart. It stays private, and it is sent to our team only once your payment is complete.

  2. II

    We carry it for you

    A member of our Jerusalem team goes to the holy place, carries your prayer by hand, and lights your candle.

  3. III

    You receive the keepsake

    We send you a photograph, a short film and a printable keepsake with your prayer and a verse.

  1. ፩

    ቅዱሳዊ ቦታዎችን መምረጥ

    በመጀመሪያ ሻማዎትና ፀሎትዎ በየትኛው ቅዱሳዊ ቦታዎች እንደሚቀርብልዎት ይመርጣሉ። በመቀጠል ለማቅረብ የፈለጉትን ፀሎት በሚፈልጉት ቋንቋ ይጽፋሉ። የሚጽፉት ፀሎት በሚስጥር የሚያዝና እርሶ በመረጡት መንገድ የሚቀርብ ይሆናል

  2. ፪

    ትእዛዝዎትን ማድረስ

    ለዚህ የተመደቡት የድርጅታችን ሰራተኞች እርስዎ በመረጡት ቅዱሳዊ ቦታ ላይ የጻፉትን ፀሎት በመውሰድ ሻማዎትን ያበሩሎታል

  3. ፫

    መታሰቢያዎችን ይቀበላሉ

    በመጨረሻም የላኩት ፀሎትና የሻማውን መለኮስ ስርዓት የሚያሳይ የመታሰቢያ ፎቶግራፍና የቪዲዮ ምስል ይላክልዎታል

Choose a place

Where shall we carry your prayer?

Each prayer is carried by hand to the place you choose. Places in Jerusalem can be ordered here and now. Places further afield are by request, and we confirm the price and the timing with you first

የቅዱሳዊ ቦታ መምረጫ

የጸሎት መልክትዎት በየትኛው ቅዱሳዊ ቦታ ይድረስልዎት?

ትእዛዝዎት እርስዎ ወደመረጡት ቦታ ላይ ይደረጋል። በኢየሩሳሌም ውስጥ በሚገኙ ቅዱሳዊ ቦታዎች ላይ ከመረጡ አሁኑኑ ማዘዝ ይቻላል፤ ከኢየሩሳሌም ውጭ ለሚደረጉ ትእዛዞች ግን በጥያቄ መሰረት የሚከናወኑ ሲሆን፣ የመጓጓዣው ወጭ ስለሚለያይ ጊዜውንና ዋጋውን አስቀድመን ከእርስዎ ጋር እናረጋግጣለን።

Good to know

Questions we are often asked

Who reads my prayer?

Only the member of our Jerusalem team who carries it. It is stored securely and is never published, shared or sold.

What does my payment cover?

Our prayer service is free. Your payment covers only the real costs: the travel of our team member to the holy place you choose, and each candle lit. Nothing else is added.

When is my prayer carried?

Your prayer is carried once your payment is complete, and we will let you know when it has been carried. For Bethlehem, Nazareth, Galilee and places further afield, we confirm the travel cost and the timing with you first.

What do I receive?

A photo and a short film from the holy place, and a printable keepsake with your prayer and a verse. All three are included.

How is a commemoration made?

Add a commemoration to your order and write the names of your living and your departed in the prayer box. The names are remembered at the Divine Liturgy. We confirm any cost with you before any payment.

Can I ask for a prayer for someone who has died?

Yes. Write their name and anything you wish to say. Our team treats every memorial request with particular care and respect.

Why is travel to places outside Jerusalem more?

Bethlehem, Nazareth, Galilee, the Jordan and Mount Tabor mean a longer journey for our team, so the travel cost is higher. We confirm the cost and the timing with you before any payment, so there are no surprises.

Do you promise an answer to prayer?

No. We make no claim about spiritual outcomes. We carry your prayer faithfully and leave the rest with God.
