Holy Week

This week is called Passion Week in honor of the sufferings of Christ. Every day of this week is called Great. Fasting these days should be especially strict. It should be remembered that the main thing in fasting is not abstaining from food and sweets, but repentance, prayers and awareness of one's sinfulness.

What do you need to know about Easter?

The last week before Easter obliges to observe a particularly strict fast. The Thursday before Easter is considered Maundy Thursday. On this day, all the money should be counted three times, so that the money is “carried” all year. Everyone in the family should take a handful of salt and pour it into one bag. This salt is removed and stored, and it is called "Thursday salt", that is, the salt of Great Thursday. With it you can treat yourself, as well as your family and friends. This salt is used to make amulets for the family, livestock, garden, home, etc.

On Maundy Thursday they clean and wash. Starting from Thursday, nothing is returned from home until Easter. For good luck in business, they make harmless stealing, that is, they hide a thing taken without permission until Palm Day in their things. But they do not take sharp things: a needle, a pin, a razor. On Friday they sweep the corners with a rag, this rag will help get rid of lower back pain if you tie yourself with it. The same rag is used to wipe the feet in the bath after washing, so that the feet do not hurt. Ash, taken on Friday before Easter, will help to recover from alcoholism, black shaking, from the evil eye and from mortal anguish.

On Friday, they look out the window, noting who they will see first of all: if a man, then to well-being for three months. If a person falls ill at this time, he will quickly recover. Any problem can be easily solved.

If you see an old woman, then there will be a series of three months of failure and illness, and a young woman - you will live these three months without problems. Family, you will see - to peace in the family, to the reconciliation of those who are in a quarrel. A dog - to longing, a cat - to profit, birds - to a new acquaintance and good news, a disabled person - to the death of a loved one.

Of course, all prepared work: cooking, painting eggs must be completed before Bright Sunday. On Easter morning, they wash themselves with water left from Maundy Thursday. It is good to put a silver little thing or a spoon in it, you can use a coin. Wash for beauty and wealth.

Everyone, without exception, begins Easter in the family with the words “Christ is risen” and answers “Truly he is risen.”

My dear parents, show patience and perseverance, you need to explain to everyone in the family that this is necessary. You can't be embarrassed or laugh at it. The Lord will turn away.

If a girl cannot get married, you need to give the towel with which she wiped herself on Maundy Thursday to people for Easter, those who beg for alms, along with krashenka and Easter cake. After that, they soon get married.

If you don’t buy Easter cakes, but cook yourself, then they usually make a guess for every Easter that they put in the oven, and for each family member; the sign is this: for whom Easter failed - to a serious illness, and even to death. If the Easter is neat, not burnt - to well-being and health.

This week good time for rituals will be. Don't miss out. Who can remove the heavy curse. To whom - money for the family. To whom - to add health. Be careful.

On Holy Week, you can speak a child from seizures. To do this, take holy water in the church, read the conspiracy words over it and sprinkle the child with it.

Childish body, angelic soul,

Innocent before the Savior

And innocent in suffering

Cleanse and strengthen. Amen.

Palm Sunday- this is the beginning of the last, most strict week of fasting - passionate. This week reminds us of the sufferings of Christ, of his crucifixion, death on the cross, burial. It ends with the feast of the bright Easter - the day of the Resurrection of Christ.
Fast or not?
Many people think that fasting is tantamount to some kind of diet. Almost 50 days you can not eat hot food cooked on sunflower oil, meat, fish and much more. However, fasting exists so that Christians do not forget about all the suffering that Jesus Christ endured for us in the desert, tempted by the devil.
Therefore, during Great Lent, you can not only eat fast food, but also you can not have parties, quarrel or be offended by someone.
Fasting will not, of course, be harmful to the body - BUT ONLY FOR A HEALTHY ORGANISM! If during the fast you notice any discomfort in the body, consult a doctor - you may not be able to fast.
The Church does not advise fasting for children, people who have disorders in the gastrointestinal tract, gastritis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, diabetes, people who are recovering from surgery, as well as pregnant and lactating women.
Many prefer to fast only on the last week, as it is the strictest. But the church, again, allows such indulgences only for those people who are sick. For the rest, believing Christians, observance of all the canons of fasting is mandatory.

Great Monday in churches they read the gospel parable about the roadside fig tree cursed by the Lord. The symbolism and spiritual meaning of the image of the barren fig tree is revealed in detail:

• the roadside fig tree personifies the perishing in repentance, whose soul does not bring faith, prayer and good deeds

Great Saturday the laity dedicate reading about the burial of the Savior and how his body was in the tomb. The Holy Fire, which is taken out on this day from the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, is a symbol of the Resurrection of the Lord.

Holy Week believers dedicate preparations for Easter: cleaning is carried out, Easter cakes are baked, Easter eggs are painted.

For His crown of thorns
I ask and beg (name) to forgive me
And my living soul
Let go of the sin.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Now and ever
And forever and ever. Amen."

Clean Thursday in 2019 is celebrated on April 25, so it’s already useful to get acquainted with interesting folk customs and signs, as well as conspiracies and prayers for wealth, happiness and love.

They can only be used once a year, since this particular time is special: Christ celebrated the supper with the disciples, washed their feet, and was crucified the next day. Sorrowful feelings and bright hope, joyful expectation of Easter - that's the atmosphere that fills this unusual day.

Of course, the most important thing to do on Maundy Thursday is to thoroughly bathe before sunrise: such a folk sign is rooted in the deep past, or rather, to the time of Christ. It is believed that on the last day of his earthly life (and the Savior was crucified on Friday already), he made the Last Supper with 12 disciples and personally washed the feet of each of them. It was a sign of special disposition, love and service to people.

Of course, since then, the people have managed to create their own little rituals: for example, it is believed that it is better to wash yourself from silver dishes. Or at least put a silver item overnight in a vessel with water, from which to wash in the morning. This procedure will help preserve youth and beauty for the whole year.

And what else you need to do on Maundy Thursday is to carefully clean up the house. After all, it is not only ancient folk custom but also a sign of good luck. It is believed that if the house full order, then the year will be successful, because all households will feel a wave of freshness, cleanliness and order.

And there was also such a sign: after Maundy Thursday, the houses were not cleaned and the floors were not swept until Easter itself, so as not to “clog the eyes of Christ lying in the tomb.”

On Maundy Thursday evening, the whole family can organize little holiday: start dyeing eggs and baking Easter cakes. True, you can eat them only on Bright Sunday.

Signs and rituals for money

As this day sets in positive emotions renewal, good changes, it is useful to know what to do to attract material well-being. Simple folk rituals help tune in to the wave of luck and mentally bring your well-being closer:

1. First of all, the sign says that on Maundy Thursday you need to count all the money that is in the house three times: at dawn, at lunchtime and at sunset.
2. Even on Wednesday evening, you can put a silver coin in a vessel with water. The next morning, they wash their faces with this water, and keep the coin in their wallet - it will bring good luck throughout the year.
3. And you can also take any 12 coins, throw them into a bucket of clean water and mentally wish yourself wealth, imagining how the dream has already come true.
