HAPPY TO YOU AND YOUR LOVE!
So long-awaited and beloved by all is approaching easter holidaywhich falls on April 8 in 2018.
The Bright Resurrection of Christ is the greatest day for any Christian who is one step higher than even Christmas. This is a time of joy and love, as well as a tribute to the memory of Jesus himself, who gave his life for us.
There are many opinions about how to celebrate Easter properly... Someone arranges large feasts and does not deny themselves anything on this day, but someone first goes to church.
Popular superstitions that have survived since pagan times are closely intertwined with the true traditions of the Orthodox Church, so it can be very difficult to determine what is right and what is not. So what is the right way to celebrate this holiday, what can you do on Easter, and what not?
What not to do on Easter
On the Bright Resurrection of Christ, the most important thing to remember is that this is the time to rejoice, remembering the Resurrection of Christ. All other restrictions and prohibitions follow from this.
The celebration lasts all week (Bright Week), so the prohibitions are valid for the entire period of the celebration.
Easter bans
- You can not swear with someone or take offense at someone. If you still have old grudges, try to let them go and forgive them.
- On this day, you cannot be greedy and stingy. Since ancient times, it has been customary to share food with the poor and needy on Easter. And this applies not only to money or food - give your smile to everyone around you, give forgiveness to everyone who asks you for it. In short, try to give everything you can.
- You cannot swear, be sad and indulge in despondency. All seven days you need to be as kind as possible so as not to darken the bright holiday for others.
- You can not get drunk and indulge in excesses. Everything should be in moderation - food, alcohol. The priests say that it is better to drink only wine from alcohol during this period, leaving vodka for other periods.
- You cannot work to the detriment of the holiday. However, if you have scheduled working hours, then there is nothing to worry about. But if there is no great need, it is better to devote this time to communication with friends and family. The church does not prohibit work on this day, but the clergy recommend postponing household chores for another day.
- Cleaning is not allowed. But there are also nuances: you should not clean up in the full sense of the word, devoting half a day to cleaning the floors and wiping off the dust. Of course, this does not apply to small everyday issues. Although, as long as that doesn't stop you from being in a holiday mood, it's okay. In any case, this is more likely not a prohibition, but moral advice.
- You cannot go to the cemetery. The church forbids this week to hold memorial services and mourn for the dead. Since sorrow is contrary to the spirit of the holiday - joy on the occasion of the Resurrection from the dead of Christ.
- You also cannot lead an intimate life. Sexual life is prohibited throughout the week. Two spouses must give up intimate life. This happens by mutual agreement.
- It is also worth mentioning that it is forbidden to bless in the church. You can only sanctify those foods that were excluded from the diet during Lent. But alcohol is a complete taboo. Once it was customary to hallow only butter bread (kulich), eggs, meat, cheese and milk, and now they put everything in the basket.
You should not put in the Easter basket: alcohol, because there is no place for drunk people in church; money and other material values; blood sausage, it is generally not recognized by Orthodox ministers as fit for use. Salt and pepper should not be sanctified, since these foods were not banned during the fast.
Putting these products in the Easter basket is more a folk tradition than a church tradition. Also, do not bring fruits and vegetables to church.
- Don't throw away leftover Easter food. As a rule, after a festive feast, there are leftovers of food - cakes, Easter, eggs. Don't throw away everything that isn't eaten!
Don't even put eggshells in the trash bin! It is customary to give all food leftovers to birds or animals.
