It is an old Ukrainian tradition to have a Priest bless a new house or apartment upon moving in. Blessing a house is simply taking the authority over your home and belongings and dedicating them to God. It is inviting the Spirit of God to come in, and everything else to leave.
When we bless our homes we make room for God to take up residence in every room and over all our possessions. Blessing a house is very simple; start by making an appointment with your Priest. When he comes to your house, you will have to prepare a small table facing east, where the Priest puts two candles and a cross. A prayer will be followed by anointing your doors and windows East, North, West, South with oil (oil represents the Holy Spirit). Then the Priest blesses every room, attic and basement with Holy Water. Then he walks the outside perimeter of your house consecrating it and placing it under the lordship of Jesus Christ.
It is also wonderful to renew that blessing year after year for as long as you reside there. As you live in your house, fill it with praise and constant thanksgiving. You will love the atmosphere in your home and everyone who enters in will love it too.
