Fulfillment of wishes for Christmas. How the gates of heaven open
On the night of January 18-19, Orthodox Christians celebrate Epiphany Eve. One of the main and symbolic Orthodox holidays is associated with the main sacrament of the Church - initiation into the faith.
January 18 is Epiphany Eve - the day when Orthodox Christians, in memory of the baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River, bring home blessed water and perform baptismal ablutions. According to the canons of the Orthodox Church, this day is called Navecherie or Epiphany Christmas Eve: the word eve means the eve of the church celebration, and the second name - Christmas Eve (or Sochevnik) is associated with the tradition on this day to cook a special concoction with honey and raisins - sochivo, RIA Novosti reports. Sochivo (or kutya) was cooked from wheat, peas, rice, peeled barley, seasoned with honey, poppy, hemp, sunflower or other vegetable oil. The grain was a symbol of resurrecting life, and honey or sweet seasoning meant the sweetness of a future blessed life. The Church established a fast on this day.
On Christmas Eve, after the liturgy, a great consecration of water is performed in churches. It is called great because of the special solemnity of the rite, imbued with the memory of the gospel event, which became not only the prototype of the mysterious washing away of sins, but also the actual consecration of water through the immersion of God in it. This water is called Agiasma, or simply Epiphany water. It is believed that consecrated water is a church shrine that requires a reverent attitude. Then it does not deteriorate for many years. Traditionally, it is kept next to the home iconostasis. Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy II urged Christians to treat baptismal water as a great shrine - with reverence. On Epiphany Christmas Eve on Thursday, he performed a great consecration of water in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, asking in prayer that all who touch it receive "cleansing, health and blessing, enlightenment by the Holy Spirit." “On Epiphany Christmas Eve, as well as on the feast of Epiphany itself, we bless the water, remembering how the Lord blessed the waters of the Jordan with his baptism,” Alexy II reminded of the meaning of the great holiday that ends Christmas time. He noted that "during this event, God appeared to mankind in three persons - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, so the holiday is called the Epiphany," reports Strana.Ru. He urged believers to remember personal baptism more often - "this sacred moment in our life, when we are cleansed from sins and begin the path of Christian life." Alexy II warned that the Epiphany water should be treated as a great shrine: "The grace that we receive through holy water, we must accept with reverence." There is a belief that Epiphany water has miraculous properties: it heals ailments, restores youth. Consecrated water does not deteriorate under the influence of time. Believers have a custom: every year, having collected baptismal water, they sprinkle their homes with it, asking God's blessings for their home, helping themselves in a pious and God-pleasing life. It is also believed that consecrated water cleanses the dwelling from demonic forces.
On the eve of the Feast of Epiphany (January 19), it is customary to observe a strict fast. The day of Baptism is also called Theophany, because, according to the Gospel, at the time of Jesus' baptism in the waters of the Jordan, God was revealed in His three hypostases: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. On the eve of Epiphany, they fast until the first star, as on Christmas Eve, but the subsequent meal should be much more modest. It is no coincidence that she was called "hungry kutya." In addition, before the meal, it was necessary to carry out a general cleaning at home and sweep the dirt even from the farthest corners. It was believed that the night of Epiphany is a turning point, Novye Izvestia writes.
Many folk signs and beliefs are associated with Epiphany Christmas Eve. This same day is the last day of Christmas divination. Although the church does not welcome this tradition, however, people believe that Christmas time is the best time for divination. On Epiphany Christmas Eve they put chalk crosses, and in order to see the Lord's baptism they put a bowl of water, they said: "At night, the bowl of water will sway by itself." If at midnight the water in the bowl swayed, they ran to look at the "open skies." If lightning was visible in the sky, it was allowed to ask for anything and it was believed that it would come true, writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta. The snow collected on the Epiphany evening was considered healing, they were treated for various ailments: numbness in the legs, dizziness, convulsions.
There is a tradition to swim in the hole on this night. This tradition was established in Russia with the adoption of Christianity. People believed that it was possible to heal from any ailments in this way, and therefore those who wished to plunge into the Jordan were not stopped even by Epiphany frosts. However, this year the weather turned out to be favorable for lovers of winter swims: due to the warm winter, there is no ice on most reservoirs. And at the Jordan River, where, according to legend, Jesus was baptized, thousands of believers gather on this day. Many also came from Russia, Vesti.Ru informs. A religious procession led by Patriarch Theophilus of Jerusalem is going to the place of Christ's baptism. By tradition, on this day, the ban on access to the border is lifted so that all pilgrims can plunge into the sacred water of the Jordan.
Among the signs for Baptism were the following: “If on this day there is a blizzard, snow or drifting snow - there will be a harvest”, “If the snow bends the branches on the trees, there will be a good harvest, the bees will swarm well”, “There is little snow on the branches of trees - in summer there will be no don’t look for mushrooms, don’t look for berries, ”and therefore the national gratitude“ Thank you, the frost that caused the snow. If on Epiphany evening the stars shine and burn, then the old people predicted the fertility of the lambs, then they said: "Bright stars will give birth to white brights," Rosbalt reports.

The Christmas holiday is one of the most important of the year. It symbolizes the birth of a new life and the unification of the world into a single whole.
It was believed that on this day the gates between heaven and earth open, and everything that happens has its own meaning and special meaning: new thoughts come, people whom I forgot about meet or call back, and on the night of January 6 to 7 prophetic dreams.
CHRISTMAS WISH RITUALS
The most cherished wishes come true on Christmas.
Many people know that on the night of the Nativity of Christ Angels fly over the earth, but not everyone knows that they fulfill even the most cherished desires, you just have to ask them. But these very desires must be sincere, coming from a pure and spiritually rich heart.
From January 7, waking up in the morning, say out loud your cherished desire. It can be not only pronounced, but also visualized. Repeat the ritual daily for 40 days called PEACE. On the 40th day, feed the birds bread crumbs.
WISH FULFILLMENT - ACTIVE RITUAL
On Christmas Day (January 7th), at 3:00 a.m. when the sky opens, go outside, look up into the sky, and ask Heaven for help and for the fulfillment of a wish. Each person can ask only for himself, while requests and desires should not harm other people.
“The Savior was born, light was shed on the earth.
I will also be saved (name) through Jesus Christ.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen".
This ritual helps to gain mental and physical strength, as well as to recover from various kinds of diseases.
So that money flows all year
This plot is read on the evening of the first day of Christmas, when the first Christmas star appears in the sky.
Write a plot on paper, go to the window that faces east, look at the evening sky and the stars and read this plot:
“Glory to God, glory to Christ! Angels, praise, you yourself know: Christ was born, Herod was indignant, Judas strangled himself, the world rejoiced. The glory of the Lord stands forever, does not break, and silver money is added to me. Lord, I praise Your Christmas! hour, at the same time my Lord Jesus Christ was born for me, endured crucifixion and suffered death.O Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, at the hour of my death, receive Thy servant, in the wandering of being, by the prayers of Your Most Pure Mother and all Your saints, as if blessed Thou art forever and ever. Amen."
After that, burn the paper with the written plot and put 3 five-ruble coins in the ashes. In the morning, you need to take them out of the ashes and rub the remaining ashes into the coins thoroughly. Put them in your wallet and wear them throughout the year.
Christmas conspiracy for wealth
"In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit!
As a son of God, he is merciful and patient with everyone.
How He forgives everyone on earth,
He loves everyone, pities, blesses,
So fate would have been merciful and supportive to me.
Key, lock, tongue. Amen."
For people, Christ is first of all a man who was able to pass the great trials of fate and at the same time always remained cheerful and good-natured towards others.
The Baptism of the Lord is a rite that helped Jesus merge with the "sacred heaven" and opened for people the other, bright side of the world. Since then, it has become a whole tradition, and to this day, people turn to God precisely through
icon images
When Heaven opens for Baptism, all believers turn not only to but also to the scriptures and blessed pictures. After all, God's light from heaven is shed only on those people who honor the memory of Jesus, referring to his image on the icons.
Of the earlier images that were presented in the holy temples, is the image of Christ on the Rabbinical mosaics. The Savior is presented here naked, with long hair, a beard, and hands down. He is immersed to the waist in water, and the sky opens from above, through which the Holy Spirit descends.
In the eleventh century, frescoes also depicted Christ in the nude. The icon shows that when Heaven opens for the Baptism of the Savior, divine radiance pours from above, and angels descend.
Also on many images are the apostles, who were the faithful helpers of Jesus.
In our time, the priests note that these icons are endowed with extraordinary power and can help in difficult times if prayers are read in front of them. This applies to all days of the year, not just holy holidays.
Modern rites
In Russia, on Epiphany, it is customary to swim in the "Jordanian hole" or in ordinary fresh water. Mostly during this period it is very cold, but this does not stop people, and they plunge into the source for at least a few seconds, where the holy, open Sky reigns over them. Fathers from different churches come to Epiphany and pre-bless the ice hole for the best healing effect.
In ancient times, "open" sinners, those who resorted to divination or witchcraft, participated in such rites. It was believed that with such a purification, all the evil spirits that freely walked the Earth would leave.
Prohibited actions
As previously stated, fortune-telling on such a holiday is prohibited by the church, since the periods on holy days are considered borderline. At these turning points, evil spirits are quite actively trying to break into the Earth, and the open Heaven at Baptism helps her in this. She can take the form of an angel and infiltrate the lives of ordinary people. Therefore, if you still want to tell fortunes, then during the period of strict holy holidays this should not be done.
