IF YOU WANT TO HAVE GOOD LUCK IN YOUR BUSINESS
HAVE A PRIEST BLESS THE BUILDING WHEN IT IS
FIRST BUILT OR BEFORE YOU MOVE IN.
REPEAT IT FOR EACH YEAR FOR CONTINUED SUCCESS.

Submitter comment: INFORMANT HAS HER HOME AS WELL
AS FAMILY BUSINESSES BLESSED AT LEAST ONCE A
YEAR AND USUALLY ON A MAJOR HOLIDAY SUCH
AS CHRISTMAS . OTHER ORTHODOX, INFORMANT RELATED,
ALSO DO THE SAME.
