The Russian Orthodox Church revealed who to pray to for the health of a cat.
Hieromonk Theodorite (Senchukov) stated that one should pray to Saint Gertrude of Nivelles for the health of a sick cat, as well as to the holy martyrs Flora and Lavra. Saint Gertrude of Nivelles has been venerated as the patroness of animals since the early Middle Ages, writes "KP-Ekaterinburg." Help can be requested both through prayers and in one's own words, Hieromonk Theodorite informed in a conversation with the publication "Abzac."
— There is nothing reprehensible in this, as caring for pets is an expression of human compassion, he explained.
What should not be done, according to the Russian Orthodox Church, is to give pets human names, as each of the names of people has its own heavenly patron.
