Sacred objects of Christianity. Sacred objects used in Orthodox worship. Relics associated with the Virgin

On this day and on the eve of the holiday, on Epiphany Christmas Eve, water is of particular importance - believers believe that the water consecrated on these days has healing properties that it retains for a whole year.

What to do on the Baptism of the Lord

• On Epiphany Christmas Eve, January 18, according to church rules, it is necessary to fast. This post is not difficult and most importantly, short - just one day. Before the evening liturgy (and according to other versions - before the first star), only fasting dishes are allowed, the main of which was and is kutya. It is on Epiphany that this traditional porridge made from grains, honey, poppy seeds and dried fruits is cooked for the last time during Christmas time.

• The traditional dinner on Epiphany Eve was called "hungry kutya", but, as usual, the whole family, including children, gathers at the table.
• On Epiphany, January 19, the hostess sets a festive table, on which there are always meat dishes - fasting is left behind. True, alcohol on this day is not only not welcome, but the church is prohibited.

• Since water at Epiphany is of particular importance, it is customary to consecrate it in the church and collect it in wells and springs that are consecrated during the holiday. Water from open reservoirs is also considered holy if it was consecrated by a priest during the procession. True, such water is still not worth drinking, but it is quite possible to sprinkle all the corners of an apartment or house, water the animals and water the flowers. It is believed that baptismal holy water helps to cleanse oneself of sins and even cure some diseases. This water is stored until the next year and, according to believers, it does not deteriorate and does not lose its properties.
• It is also important to meet the day of the Baptism of the Lord in cleanliness, because on the eve they arrange a general cleaning and go to the bathhouse.
• Bathing in ice water on January 19, the day of the Epiphany of the Lord, is also a long tradition, although the church does not consider this ritual to be obligatory. Moreover, not everyone will benefit from such a procedure, especially if you are not prepared for winter swimming. By the way, the baptism of young Jesus by John the Baptist took place in the waters of the Jordan River, and, as we know, they are always warm.
• If a child is baptized on the day of Theophany, his life will be long and happy - this is what our ancestors thought.

What not to do at the Baptism of the Lord

Surprisingly, there are not so many bans on Vodohreschi, and they all help to tune in to the positive.

• • Strange prohibitions, originally from paganism, include relations with scissors - it is believed that on January 18 and 19 they should be used with caution: you can not cut your nails, cut your hair, and generally remove nothing from the body. According to popular belief, this way you can “shear off your fate” and spoil the karma for the whole year.
  • On the day of the Epiphany of the Lord and the day before, on Epiphany Christmas Eve, one should not quarrel, scandalize, and even bad thoughts should be driven away from oneself. If you collect holy water in an angry state, it may lose its power.
  • On Epiphany Christmas Eve and the day of Vodorkhreschi, any alcohol is strictly prohibited - both the church and the doctors are united in this.
  • On the day of the Epiphany of the Lord, one cannot work, especially sewing, washing, knitting, and so on.
  • You should not borrow money from someone, or lend it yourself - according to popular belief, any debt for Epiphany will stretch for the whole year.
  • On Epiphany Christmas Eve it is customary to guess, and dreams on the night of January 19 are considered prophetic. However, after Baptism, all fortune-telling must be stopped. It is believed among the people that fortune-telling and a conspiracy after Vodohreschi can work in the opposite direction.

Having reached the age of 30, Jesus Christ was baptized in the Jordan River. At that moment, God's voice from heaven called Jesus his Son. The Holy Spirit descended on him in the form of a dove, hence another name for Baptism - Epiphany. According to Christian teachings, it was on this day that God appeared in three persons: God the Father - in the voice, the Son of God - in the flesh, the Holy Spirit - in the form of a dove.

Our ancestors also believed that on this day, from midnight to midnight, water acquires healing properties that persist throughout the year and treat both bodily and mental illnesses. It was believed that miracles happen at midnight: the wind subsides for a moment, full silence and the heavens open. At this time, you can find out your future, express your cherished desire, which will certainly come true. And you can also hear how the cattle speak human language. Water acquires special power in all reservoirs: the current stops, the water begins to worry, becomes healing, turns into wine. Our ancestors sincerely believed in this and sacredly adhered to traditions.

The Holy Theophany, the Baptism of Jesus Christ ends the cycle of winter holidays. On the eve of the feast of the Epiphany, on January 18, the last lenten kutya was made. From this come the popular names of the holiday - Hungry or weeping Kutia, as well as Jordan, Blessing of water, Baptism.

On January 19, churches sanctify water, which is considered a kind of salvation from all ailments. The big mystery is the inability of water to spoil.

There are signs: on Epiphany the day is clear - the bread remains clean, and if it is cloudy - there will be a lot of "smut" in the bread; fluffy snow is falling - for the harvest.

Before Epiphany, women tried not to rinse clothes in water, because "the devils sit there and can cling to." But the girls put viburnum or corals in the consecrated water and washed themselves so that their cheeks were ruddy and their faces beautiful. In general, before Epiphany, during all the holidays, women did not go for water, only men should do this.

Modern believers go to churches for Epiphany to bless the water, they start breakfast from it. Like their ancestors, they sincerely believe in the healing properties of holy water, so they store it and use it.

How to use baptismal water.

* Epiphany water can be drunk all day long. Consecrated, and even tap water, is suggested to be consumed every morning on an empty stomach.
* After any day, you can sprinkle precious water on your house, and if you wish, even an office or car.
* If it seemed to you that baptismal water was not enough, you can dilute it with plain water. They promise that it will be just as full of grace and will never spoil. That is why there is no need to pull a canister of Epiphany water from the temple or from the hole in the hole.
* Treat water at Baptism with respect. It is better not to store it in a plastic bottle and where necessary. And you need to drink it with prayer and sincere faith. Then she will definitely help.
* Some little believers claim that the water at Baptism receives its healing properties through a silver cross, which the priest immerses in the water. But in fact, priests can immerse a wooden or golden cross in water.

As the Orthodox celebrate Baptism.

In ancient times, preparations for the blessing of water began in the evening. Then in the river or lake they made a hole in the form of a cross or a circle. An altar was arranged at the hole, a cross was placed with a white dove - a symbol of the Holy Spirit.
In some places, the hole was covered with a lid. Orthodox fonts with water were placed in the middle of the temple. On the day of Epiphany, a procession was sent to the hole, accompanied by all the parishioners. The priests held a prayer service, during which a cross was lowered into the hole three times, inviting the blessing of God to the water.
Then all those present poured water on each other, and the bravest ones plunged into the water. It was believed that water at the same time has special properties.

Divination for Baptism.

Christmas divination in Russia has long become traditional, although the church does not support them, seeing in them echoes of pagan customs. Christmas time ends with the celebration of Baptism, when the Orthodox celebrate the baptism of Christ in the waters of the Jordan River. It is believed that it is on Epiphany evening that fortune-telling is the most correct and can accurately predict the future.

That evening, the girls usually guessed at the betrothed.

There were many baptismal divinations. In various localities, they gave preference to some of their own fortune-telling, established for centuries, but there were also those that were used everywhere. Perhaps the most common were divination by the mirror; divination by shoes, which were thrown over the threshold or out of the gate; divination by molten wax that was dropped into water; divination by the shadows from the flame of a candle, torch or stove; divination by overheard conversations; divination by a rooster pecking grain; divination on ice; divination by prophetic dreams that night, etc. But fortune-telling by playing cards was rarely used on Epiphany evening. Before divination, icons were usually hung and the pectoral cross was removed.

Naturally, guessing is not only for girls, but also for older people. But they were interested in other everyday problems - the future harvest and weather, prosperity in the family and the health of relatives, success in business and the fate of children.
Fortune telling continues with our practical times. True, now new ones, inspired by modern realities, have been added to them - fortune-telling by a line from a book, by the first phrase that sounded from the switched on TV or radio, even by New Year's fireworks.
If you are going to find out your future on Epiphany evening, it is worth considering that you need to specially prepare for fortune-telling. Tune in to the positive, to the fact that fortune-telling will predict you a lot of good and joyful things. In this case, you will interpret the results of divination accordingly.
May all the good things that you remind yourself on Epiphany evening come true!

The main character of this day is WATER!
What do we know about it and what should we know.

BEFORE you drink a glass of water, addressing it is a GOOD WORD - IT IS a “living substance”, ON WHICH HUMAN HEALTH AND YOUTH DEPEND.
Water is only at first glance an ordinary and ordinary substance. If you think about it, this is an extremely mysterious and far from known substance. Even the church uses water to perform its sacraments.

Scientists have proven that if you act on water with any physical fields - electric, sound, etc., it immediately reacts to this. Now a Russian-language translation of a book by Japanese scientists has appeared on sale, who experimentally proved that the shape of a snowflake depends on the water with which it is formed. They once again demonstrated that water really does not like bad, swear words. This means that if I poured myself a glass of water and looked at it “badly”, or even said bad words or thought, then it’s better not to drink it, but pour it out. Today we have absolutely no control over what we say. First we say, and then we think it was necessary. The thought is material. And the water feels it too. If I say good words to the water, it will increase its effectiveness. For it is a living structure. It may sound mystical, but in reality everything is confirmed by scientific research. Informationally polluted water and rock music and other excess sound noise and transmits this negative to those who consume it.

Better matches the internal structure of the water of the human body and melt water. It can be prepared at home. To do this, fill a kettle or pot with filtered water and bring it almost to a boil. But do not boil, otherwise its structure will be broken. After cooling and filling it with a 1.5-2-liter bottle (plastic can be used). Put it in the freezer. After one and a half to two days, when the contents of the bottle turn into ice of a uniform structure (without bubbles), it must be removed and left in a room to thaw overnight. In the morning you will have several glasses of clean, energetic, healing water for the body. From it you can make a "drink of youth":

In melted water, you need to place chopped vegetables or fruits and squeeze the juice out of them. I want to emphasize that the juice should not be squeezed separately, then mixed with melted water, but in it. Therefore, the juice cells of carrots, beets, apples or other fruits must burst in water. This drink, as well as melt water, cannot be heated, it loses its properties.
I have been researching Epiphany water for several years and even collaborated with priests during this work, having received permission for this from Patriarch Filaret. The Church claims that on this day God's grace descends to earth and the entire water surface comes to life.
I came to the conclusion that on January 19th a phenomenal phenomenon occurs. Therefore, on this day, water can be collected from any environmentally friendly reservoir and stocked with energy water for the whole year. I call it a cosmic phenomenon, the church a Divine phenomenon.

Water changes first structurally. Becomes similar to the bound water contained in the human body. Therefore, there is such a therapeutic and pomic for a person as energy doping.
Priests say that with the help of holy water you can remove bad energy from a person. It really is!

If a person feels the influence of someone else's negative energy on himself, which, as the people say, is “corruption”, you need to at least wash yourself with Epiphany water. And with its energy, it will even out the distorted energy of the body. Therefore, I advise you to have this water in every home. Anyone who, for whatever reason, was unable to collect baptismal water on January 19, can take holy water in the church. She also has very strong characteristics. The prayers and rituals by which the water is blessed do their job. Therefore, although it is slightly weaker than Kreshchensky, it is still very powerful.

Director of the Institute of Human Ecology, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Mikhail Kurik.

In commemoration of this bright event, a holiday was approved, which is otherwise called the Epiphany. The event is celebrated annually on the same date.

• Epiphany rites and traditions
• Make a wish for Baptism
• Folk omens for baptism

When does the blessing of water take place?

Church holidays, as a rule, begin from the second half of the previous day. Therefore, in churches and temples, the consecration of water begins after the morning service during Epiphany Christmas Eve, the procedure continues on the day of the feast - January 19 at the end of the liturgy.

The clergy say that the water consecrated on Christmas Eve is in no way inferior in its miraculous powers to the water consecrated on the very day of Epiphany. Holy water can heal a person from fatal diseases, fulfill his innermost dreams, and bestow good luck.

The water consecrated in Baptism is used in small doses throughout the current year until the next feast. Holy water is sprinkled on the corners of the apartment to cleanse it of negativity, this liquid is able to fill the home with powerful positive energy. The consecrated liquid should be drunk in small sips, but pouring it under your feet and washing dirty objects on this day is highly undesirable.

Epiphany rites and traditions

The main world Christian tradition on the Epiphany feast is the solemn procession of the cross to the Jordan River, where Christ was baptized. On this day, Christians from all over the world gather and march to holy places, having reached the river, people bathe in its waters, being cleansed of sins and sinful thoughts.

But far from always a person has the opportunity to join the world procession. Therefore, in all Russian cities and villages, bathing is carried out in local rivers. Immersion is carried out in three steps, with each dive it is required to pronounce the words of the sacred text: “I plunge in the name of the Father; I dip in the name of the Son, I dip in the name of the Holy Spirit.” Those who do not have the courage and health to plunge into the icy water sprinkle themselves with holy liquid while saying prayers.
A special hole for swimming is called Jordan.

It is worth noting that dipping into Jordan is a folk, not a church tradition. The ministers of the church claim that any water on this sacred day becomes holy. Therefore, you can even wash yourself with ordinary tap water, while reading a prayer and believing with all your heart in liberation from sins.

Those who regularly bathe in Jordan at Baptism should not bear in mind the following rules:

You can start swimming after the evening service on January 18;
for safety reasons, diving is carried out only in special places equipped for this purpose, after the consecration ceremony has been performed;
before starting the dive, you should say the Our Father prayer;
immersion is carried out completely, together with the head, after which you should cross yourself three times;
it is advisable to purchase special shirts for swimming, you should not perform this procedure in shorts and bathing suits;
On the eve of the dive, it is recommended to eat well, but not to overeat; after the procedure, it is advisable to drink a cup of hot tea.

Not everyone can take a dip in ice cold water. There are some diseases that are a contraindication to such a procedure. You can not dive into the hole in the presence of a cold, hypertension, chronic skin diseases.

It is noted that the water on the day of the Epiphany becomes different, it is softer and more palatable. This applies not only to holy water, but also to any other, even the one that flows from the tap. Throughout the holiday, you can draw water directly from the tap, noting the improvement in its properties. On this day, the water becomes tastier and cleaner.

What to do on Epiphany and Epiphany Christmas Eve

The celebration of the Epiphany is accompanied by several rituals and traditions. It is very important to observe a strict fast on the day before the festival. Epiphany Christmas Eve comes on January 18, in the people this date is called "Hungry Kutia". On Christmas Eve, the only dish is kutia, made from cereals. You can not add butter or milk to it, it must be lean. Eating kutya is allowed only after sunset. Even water should be consumed at this time in a limited amount.

But on Christmas Eve, you should prepare for the celebration, and by Epiphany itself, at least 12 types of dishes should be on the table. Baptism is celebrated at a chicly laid table, on which meat dishes must be present.
Holy water brought from the church is necessary for sprinkling all the corners in the room, this procedure will save a person's family from illness and trouble for the whole year. It is believed that people baptized on January 19 are of good health, they live happily ever after. Theophany is an ideal holiday for reconciliation, if a person is in a quarrel with someone, then on this day you need to forget about disagreements and reconcile.

What Not to Do on Epiphany Day

Baptism is a sacred holiday, on this bright day one cannot be discouraged, suffer and be sad, otherwise the whole year will be sad. On this day, such a quality as the forgiveness that Christ preached is highly valued, so it is very important to be able to forgive your offenders, you cannot be offended and quarrel on this great day.

On Epiphany you can not do dirty things related to water. Since any water on Epiphany is holy, there is no need to desecrate it, wash floors with it, and do laundry. For another three days after the celebration, water can retain its properties; it cannot be defiled at this time. It is better to postpone any work for this period.

You can guess on the eve of Epiphany, but it is not recommended to do this on the holy day itself. There is a belief that if you guess on Epiphany Day, you can guess fate not for the better. You should not read conspiracies on this day, the church is categorically against such actions, you should not go against its canons, especially on holy days.

You can not drink alcohol on a holy day, even if they are not strong. It is not recommended to use obscene words, any negativity should be driven away from oneself, especially before swimming in the hole.

Make a wish for Baptism

On the night of January 18-19, anyone can make a wish, if the plan is full of pure thoughts, then it will come true, because on this holy day heaven heeds the requests of sincerely believing people. In order for the Lord to hear the one who asks, his desires should not contain the desire to harm someone, you should not ask for material benefits, just as you should not demand undeserved honor from yourself.

Before making a wish, you need to read the Our Father prayer, standing in front of the icon, then you should make a request. If the request is pure and really necessary for the asker, it will be fulfilled.

Folk omens for baptism

There are several folk beliefs and baptismal signs that will help predict the weather and the future.

Our ancestors believed in the following signs:

On the night of Epiphany, you should look at the starry sky, bright stars indicate that the summer will be dry and spring will come early;
if Epiphany night falls on a new moon, there is a danger of spring floods, spring will come late, summer will be cool;
if severe frosts are observed on Epiphany, and they are stronger than Christmas ones, then the year will be fruitful;
Epiphany snow has healing properties;
if on the night of January 19, dogs bark loudly in the vicinity, this portends a successful financial year;
a lot of snow fell on the Epiphany holiday - the year will be bread.

In order to have a lot of happiness and love in personal life, from ancient times in Russia, weddings were played between Epiphany and Maslenitsa. A person born on Epiphany day will be healthy and happy.
All signs and beliefs have deep roots, the ancestors sacredly believed in them. But to believe in them or not is everyone's business. Epiphany is a holy holiday, which is better to meet with your friends and relatives.

On the night of January 18-19, the Orthodox celebrate the Baptism of the Lord (Holy Theophany). What should be done at Baptism? How to celebrate a holiday? What rites must be performed? What signs should you pay attention to? How to congratulate relatives and friends?

Epiphany is one of the main Christian holidays. The feast of the Epiphany ends with Christmas time, which lasts from January 7 to 19.

This holiday is established in memory of the Baptism of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Jordan River, when he was 30 years old. It is known from the Gospel that John the Baptist, calling the people to repentance, baptized people in the waters of the Jordan. The Savior, being sinless from the beginning, had no need for John's Baptism of repentance, but in His humility accepted Baptism with water, while sanctifying the watery nature with Himself.

The Feast of Baptism is also called the Feast of Theophany, because at the Baptism of the Lord the Most Holy Trinity appeared to the world: “God the Father spoke from heaven about the Son, the Son was baptized by the holy Forerunner of the Lord John, and the Holy Spirit descended on the Son in the form of a dove”.

Epiphany. Holy Epiphany

On the eve of Epiphany, January 18, believers fast- they don’t eat anything until the evening, and in the evening they celebrate the second Holy Evening or “Hungry Kutya”. Lenten dishes are served for dinner - fried fish, dumplings with cabbage, buckwheat pancakes in butter, kutya and uzvar.

The whole family, as before Christmas, gathers at the table, to which only lean meals are served, kutya (sochivo) is prepared from rice, honey and raisins.

That evening, returning from the church from a prayer service, people put crosses over all windows and doors with chalk or candle soot.

After dinner, all the spoons are collected in one bowl, and bread is placed on top - "so that the bread is born." The girls guessed with the same spoons: they went out on the threshold and knocked with them until a dog barks somewhere - the girl will marry in the same direction.

The main tradition of the feast of the Epiphany is the blessing of water.

On the morning of January 19, they sanctify the water - either in the church, or, where possible, near a lake, river or stream. It is believed that on Epiphany, from midnight to midnight, the water acquires healing properties and retains them throughout the year. It is given to drink to the seriously ill, churches, houses and animals are consecrated with it. It remains a mystery to science that Epiphany water does not deteriorate, has no smell and can be stored for a year or longer.

In the old days, on the eve of Jordan, a large cross ("Jordan") was cut out in the ice and placed vertically next to the hole. The ice cross was decorated with periwinkle and pine branches or doused with beet kvass, from which it turned red.

Water is consecrated in the springs, and where this is not possible - in the courtyard of the temple. Consecrating the water, the priest lowers the cross into a special baptismal hole called "Jordan", the consecrated water is called the "great hagiasma", that is, the great shrine.

It's believed that Epiphany water has the same miraculous power as the waters of the Jordan, which included Jesus Christ.

On the day of Epiphany, after a prayer service, the sick bathe in the hole - to be cured of the disease, and dressed up in masks for the New Year - to cleanse themselves of sin.

On the day of the holiday and on the day of Epiphany Christmas Eve, the Great Blessing of Water is performed. In the courtyards of the temples, long queues stretch for holy water.

If a person for some serious reason cannot go to the service, he can resort to the healing power of plain water taken from an ordinary reservoir on Epiphany night. It is believed that Epiphany water is gaining special strength and healing. Epiphany water heals wounds, sprinkles every corner of their home - there will be order and peace in the house.

Has survived to this day the tradition of dipping at Epiphany in the hole- the one who dared to do this believed that the healing baptismal water would give him health for a whole year. And today there are daredevils who, even in severe frost, jump into icy water. Everyone who wants to join them should remember that you need to plunge into the Epiphany hole, not trying to "perform a feat", but remembering the religious meaning of this action - it is best to take a blessing from the priest before doing this. You also need to know that washing in baptismal water does not “automatically” cleanse from all sins.

After the celebration of Epiphany, a new wedding season begins, which continues until Lent. In the old days it was a time of fun and leisure. Young people gathered for evening parties, families arranged clubbing and went to visit each other.

Epiphany holy water

On Epiphany, you can drink baptismal water all day long. But then it should be consumed on an empty stomach or when there is a special need (for example, in case of a sudden illness). In addition, on the day of the holiday, we sprinkle holy water on all dwellings, including latrines and those rooms where our pets live. You can sprinkle the office, the place of study, and the car.

And if you see that there is not as much water as you would like, you can dilute it with plain clean water, and all of it will be just as full of grace as before, and will not deteriorate either.

Therefore, it is not at all necessary to overstrain, taking away from the temple on this day a canister of a dozen or two liters. It is enough to take a small bottle - and there will be enough water for you and your loved ones until the next Baptism.

But the miraculous preservation of baptismal water is not guaranteed to a person who will not treat it reverently.

It is better to pour water from plastic dishes into glass ones and store it next to the icons. Also drink this water with prayer so that this gift of the Lord be to us for the health of soul and body.

Epiphany water can stand for years and not deteriorate.

Divination for Baptism

On Epiphany evening, the girl must leave the house and walk down the street. If she meets the first young and handsome man on her way, it is likely that she will get married this year. If the passerby is old, then marriage is not soon.

At Epiphany, in addition to traditional New Year and Christmas fortune-telling, from ancient times they practiced a special fortune-telling - with kutya.

The essence of it was that the fortune-tellers, having taken hot kutya in a cup and hiding it under an apron or scarf, ran out into the street and threw the kutya in the face of the first man who came across, asking his name.

Another type of special baptismal fortune-telling is even more original: on Christmas Eve, after sunset, the girls went out naked, “weeded” the snow, threw it over their shoulders and then listened - in which side they heard something, in that direction they would marry.
