After these words, take the change out of the bucket and leave it in a secret corner of your house. Such a money plot on Maundy Thursday will definitely increase your level of well-being. And with the water that remains in the bucket you need to wash the windows of the liquid; with this ritual you will attract money into the house and clean the windows.

Here is another ritual that can contribute to wealth. If on this day you keep track of all your money at home exactly three times, then soon there will be at least twice as much. You need to count money, and thus attract wealth, at dawn, exactly at noon or at dawn.

Only such rituals and customs must be done in secret from everyone else. Therefore, choose a time when your family will not be at home.

To get married

Unmarried girls will be interested in how to use this day to get married successfully next year. For this purpose, there are spells on Maundy Thursday for a successful marriage.

This ritual for marriage begins with the fact that an unmarried girl needs to take a bath or shower, then wipe herself dry with a new towel. During this entire procedure, you need to think about your personal happiness; you can even mentally order a husband for yourself.

Then you need to go to the store, buy sweets and distribute them on the way home to those in need or just to children. By the way, good people just say:

“God give you a good husband, daughter.”

Hearing such kind words on this day is very useful; of course, this means a happy marriage soon.

For Easter, the girl will also need to buy a separate Easter cake, color the eggs and distribute them to the poor. Such rituals will help a single girl attract her lover and get married.

And this conspiracy will help an already middle-aged girl find family happiness. To do this, a woman should wash her face with milk in the morning and say the following words:

“Everyone is stroking the cat, everyone is clinging to it, and the men won’t let me pass. I’m not looking for you in an idol, I want a real husband. And it will be as I want. Amen".

Milk from the same pack should then be offered to cats outside. You can see how many cats will flock to this milk; these signs will determine how many grooms you will choose from for your husband. The color of the cats will also be a sign.

Such love spells or prayers must be pronounced with special passion and inspiration.

Bathing ritual on Maundy Thursday

If you want to properly get rid of negativity, then arrange a real bathing day for yourself on this day. Customs involve cleansing not only the apartment, but also oneself.

It’s ideal to take a steam bath at dawn on a Thursday like this. Such bathing is beneficial for both the soul and the body.

After that, after you have steamed, take a tub of cool water or just a bucket, say a magic text on it, and then pour it all over yourself, perform a cleanliness bathing ritual:

“On Maundy Thursday we glorify Easter, all the people glorify it, let people honor me like that, both older and younger. And so that the boss respects me, so that my affairs go well, everything good sticks to me, Gold, health, prosperity, my pockets are full. Key. Lock. Language. Amen".

Spell to become more beautiful

A girl can ask the sky for more beauty on this magical day. The ritual begins with the girl getting up early at dawn, before the sun has yet risen, washing herself, going out into the street, bowing low to each of the four sides, and after that she pronounces the spell:

“I rose, the servant of God (my name), at dawn, and I bow to the first star of the morning. I wash myself with the transparent dew, and wipe myself with my maiden braid. My face will be whiter than the white light itself, my cheeks will burn with a red flame. Your eyes will shine like a clear moon. My eyebrows will be as black as tar. So that all the suitors shy away from me, so that they cannot take their eyes off me. So that I would be the sweetest for them. My word is easy, my deed is precise. Amen".

After such a ritual, beauty will certainly increase, as will the grooms.

From the evil eye and damage

On the night of Wednesday to Thursday, you can perform rituals and customs that will help protect you from damage from the evil eye. The ritual is performed using salt. Place a bundle of salt in the stove and read the prayers several times. If you don’t have a stove at home, you can fry the salt in a frying pan in the evening. And at dawn, the remaining salt is taken out of the stove and taken to a spring or other source of water. The bundle of salt is untied, thrown into the water and at the same time they say:

“You can’t weave little shoes out of salt, you can’t weave a path out of salt, salt is no one’s enemy, no one wants bad things from salt, arrows and bullets don’t fly at it, they don’t beat it with sticks. People don’t condemn salt, they don’t want to kill. Salt is also not afraid of spoilage and death. May I too, God’s servant (my name), be like Thursday’s salt, just as invulnerable. I am neither animal nor human invincible. My words are easy, my deeds are precise. Amen".

Conspiracy to get a job

For unemployed people, on the eve of Thursday, you can perform a ritual to find a good money job this year. To perform the ritual you will need a white candle and a gold coin.

On the night from Wednesday to Thursday, stay alone in the room. Extinguish all sources of electric light. Sit down at the table and light a white candle. Take out a gold-colored coin and hold it in your right hand.

Look at the candle flame and say these words:

“Thursday cleansing fire, cleanse me too, my life, my thoughts and body. Help me find a nice job, so that I like it, so that I am held in high esteem there, so that they pay me more gold coins. And I will celebrate the Easter holiday with glory! Amen".

Leave the candle to burn out completely. Carry the coin with you as a talisman for all interviews, do not change it to small pennies, do not waste it. This ritual is similar to the Stepanov ritual, where you also need to carry a gold-plated coin with you. To strengthen the rituals and customs of finding a job, visualize a new workplace.

Rituals for health

For those who suffer greatly from illnesses, and for the rest, for prevention, you can carry out a health spell to increase energy in this area.

To do this, on Holy Wednesday, take a cup and go to any body of water, scoop up some water from there. When you come home, place the cup on the table, cross it three times, cover it with a clean towel, and immediately go to bed.

You need to get up at two in the morning, go to the cup and cross yourself three times. Then take the cup with you to the bathroom, stand in the bathtub, undress completely and pour water from this mug over yourself. Leave just a little water at the bottom of the cup. After such ablution, do not dry yourself. The remaining water at the bottom should be poured into some well-growing plant. It is believed that at this moment the plant conveys health and youth to you.

If you have problem skin or some skin diseases, you can perform a ritual to cleanse it. To do this, you simply get up early in the morning on Maundy Thursday, take a mug of cool water, and go outside, namely to the intersection. First, turn in one direction, wash with water, then in the other, so you need to wash and use water on all four sides. When washing, you need to use water completely.

After that, say this spell:

“Gather from all four sides of the snake, spread my scars to each of the four sides, take them for yourself, dear ones, you are no stranger to shedding your skin, so shed it with my scars. And give me new skin, don’t be sorry, give it to me, I will be grateful forever. Amen".

After this you can go home.

A simple way to improve human health is if on Maundy Thursday every time you drink water you say:

“I don’t drink water, I drink health.”

These prayer spells can be used every day.

Pregnancy plot

For women who want to get pregnant, Holy Week is a wonderful period when you can ask God for the opportunity of motherhood. To do this, you need to carry out such a ritual yourself. Prepare yourself two meals. One of them will be sweet, and the second will be salty, even slightly salty.

A woman who performs a pregnancy ritual sits down at the table, tastes a sweet dish and says the following words:

“Sweet, sweet to me, the Lord will send me the same sweet daughter. Come, soul of my daughter, come into me. I will love you, take care of your soul, and not give offense to anyone.”

Then you need to taste the salty dish and say:

“It’s too salty, so much so that you want to cry, but my son, he won’t cry, he will come into this world as a hero. Come, darling, to me, I will be the best mother for you, come, I will love and care for your soul, I will not offend you to anyone.”

These dishes must be eaten throughout the day; under no circumstances should you throw away the leftovers.

Such a conspiracy to attract pregnancy can be carried out throughout Holy Week. Signs say that based on which dish a woman liked best, one can judge the future sex of the child. The best pregnancy rituals are good to perform on this day, they will be more effective.

Rituals for home protection

On this divine day, you can make amulets for your home to put magical protection on your home. Traditional amulets during this period are spring plants. If you didn’t have time to dedicate the willow tree in the church, you can do it on Thursday.

After this, return home, place the willow branches in the most visible place and recite the following plot:

“I am leaving my sins, which were with the Lord himself, I ask for Maundy Thursday, I am protecting my soul and my house from bad things, I am inviting prosperity to my abode. May our entire family be blessed. Amen"

Let these branches stand for a whole year until the next Great Holiday. Natalya Korystyleva also advises willow conspiracies against evil spirits.

To keep your home protected all year round, you can make Thursday salt. Salt, which was prepared in a special way on Maundy Thursday, will be your helper and protector all year. It will protect you from diseases and maintain well-being in your home. It's not that difficult to prepare:

  1. On the night of Wednesday to Thursday, when everyone in your household has already gone to bed, take out a large cast-iron frying pan and put it on the fire.
  2. Pour a packet of new table salt into the frying pan.
  3. Add dried herbs to salt, so it turns into a real tasty seasoning.
  4. Fry the salt over low heat for 6-7 minutes.
  5. At the same time, read the “Our Father” prayer all this time.
  6. After this, pour the salt into a linen bag, put it in a corner and do not touch it until Holy Sunday.

Already at Easter and throughout the year, salt can be used. But always use it like regular salt. Use it in cooking, when you feel that there is no harmony in your home, then cook food with it.

If someone in the house is sick, then he should also be offered food that is prepared with this salt. Even if there is no appetite at all, offer the patient a small crust of bread with this salt. If there is an open quarrel in the house, then such salt can be scattered between those quarreling, unlike ordinary salt, this will promote reconciliation. If you have a baby at home, you can bathe him in a bathtub to which this salt has been added. It will bring moral and physical health to the baby. A little bit of salt can be scattered in the corners of the house, it protects the room from negativity.

Palm Sunday is the beginning of the last, strictest week of fasting - passionate. This week reminds us of the suffering of Christ, of his crucifixion, death on the cross, burial. It ends with the holiday of Easter - the day of the Resurrection of Christ.
To fast or not?
Many people believe that fasting is the same as going on a diet. For almost 50 days you cannot eat hot food cooked in 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 Lent, you can not only eat fast food, but you also cannot have parties, quarrel or be offended by someone.
Observing fasting will not, of course, be harmful to the body - BUT ONLY FOR A HEALTHY BODY! If during fasting you notice any discomfort in your body, consult a doctor - you may not be able to fast.
The Church does not advise fasting for children, people who have problems with the gastrointestinal tract, gastritis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, diabetes, people recovering from surgery, as well as pregnant and lactating women.
Many people prefer to fast only in the last week, since it is the strictest. But the church again allows such concessions only for those people who are sick. For the rest, Christian believers, compliance with all the canons of fasting is mandatory.
Traditions of Holy Week
Great Monday. It is customary to begin a major cleaning of the house on this day.
Great Tuesday. Housewives prepare “juiced milk” (hemp and flaxseed crushed in a mortar and poured with water, which they feed the cattle so that they do not get sick.

At two o'clock in the morning, take off the towel, cross yourself three times and pour this water over yourself. You should leave some water in the mug. Without drying yourself, put on the clothes you are going to sleep in. The remaining water in the mug should be poured under a bush or flowers on the street before three o’clock in the morning.
Maundy (Clean) Thursday. Last day of big house cleaning. After Maundy Thursday and until Easter itself, you cannot clean up, “so that not even a speck gets into the eye of Christ.”

In order to wash away all sins from yourself and get rid of the possible evil eye, you need to get up on Maundy Thursday before dawn, wash your face, and say: “I wash away what they put on me, what toils my soul and body, everything is removed on Maundy Thursday.”
For girls who want to attract the attention of members of the opposite sex, such a plot will be useful. Also, get up before dawn, wash your face, and say: “As Maundy Thursday is bright and red, so will slave (name) be beautiful to everyone. Amen".

Since 1390, in Jerusalem on the evening of Good Friday, the Shroud is taken out - the fabric in which Christ was wrapped when he was taken from the cross; a full-length imprint of his body remained on it. This is a great shrine; just touching it is enough to gain health.
Signs and rituals on Good Friday

2. After the service, you should try to bring 12 lit candles from the temple and let them burn out. This will bring health, luck, and financial well-being to the house.
3. Take a new cloth and wipe all corners of the house. Place this cloth away from prying eyes. If one of your household members has a back or leg pain, it will be enough to apply this cloth to the sore spot and the pain will go away.
4. On Good Friday morning, look out the window and pay attention to what you see first. This is a kind of fortune telling for the next three months.
So, if you saw:
- a young woman or a young man - to well-being and peace in the home;
- family - to good relationships with relatives;
- an elderly woman - to illness;
- disabled person - to the possible death of someone close to you;
- cat - to profit;

If this is done in such a way that none of the household members see or hear anything, then there will be peace and harmony in the family throughout the next year.

Rituals and conspiracies

During Holy Week, many performed various rituals that could guarantee wealth, health, and happiness.

So Holy Wednesday was remembered for the fact that on this day they collected snow from the ravines, made melt water from it, and added Thursday salt left over from last year. It was customary to sprinkle livestock with this special water to protect them from damage and disease. Wednesday was also a good day to read the water spell. Then they poured on her from head to toe. This could protect against diseases and misfortunes, and protect against damage.

“Lord, Almighty God, Who created everything out of nothing! Bless and cleanse my body, Strengthen and protect me from enemies. Bless, Lord, my amulet. Forever and ever. Now, forever and forever. Amen".

On Holy Saturday we tried to stay awake all night. Many believed that this would bring health and good luck. Also, staying awake on Saturday promised girls a happy marriage, and men success at work. Customs prohibited working, fishing, and hunting on Holy Saturday. Fasting on Saturday is as strict as on Good Friday - only water and bread are allowed.

Fasting is required throughout Good Friday.

There were also rituals associated with Good Friday, despite the fact that this day was considered a day of mourning. As on other days of this magical week, conspiracies were read.

Ritual for happiness and prosperity

The whole Holy Week seems to be closely connected with Christianity. However, pagan traditions still remain, and some rituals originate from there. Previously, fires were burned on the hills to appease Perun, the god of fire. It is with these customs that some rituals that are still performed today are associated.

It was necessary to bring 12 candles into the house, with which they had previously stood at the service. The important point is that they had to be constantly burning. Having brought them home, you need to leave them there until they burn out completely. Then there will be prosperity and happiness in the house for all 12 months.

How to detect a spoken item in the house

Very often conspiracies are read to harm a person, and then this spoken thing is left in the house. Sometimes the owner of the apartment may not realize what exactly is harming his well-being. But on Good Friday you can find this thing. To do this, you had to take the stub of a candle, which you had previously held in your hands during the service. Arriving home, they set it on fire again and walked around the house. In the place where it cracks is what you were looking for.

To cure leg and lower back diseases

On this day, you need to take a new cloth and wipe all the corners in the house with it. After that, it needs to be hidden. If your lower back suddenly hurts, you need to tie it around your waist. She can heal and relieve pain. If your feet hurt, you need to wash them thoroughly and dry them with this rag.

Conspiracies against drunkenness

There are conspiracies that can save a person from the addiction of alcoholism. One of them is performed using ash collected in the oven on Good Friday. It also helps with mortal melancholy.

You need to take some ash and go to the pedestrian intersection that day. You need to throw it backhand, and then say the words of the conspiracy three times. This ritual will have to be done three times. The first time was on Good Friday, then the same thing on the next two Fridays. All the ash cannot be used; it must be left for cases of binges and breakdowns.

“Just as this ash will not sprout, and the sprouts will not produce petals, and the petals will not produce fruit, so the slave (name) will not take wine into his mouth: neither on Sunday, nor on Saturday, nor on Friday, nor on Thursday, nor on Wednesday, nor on Tuesday , and not on Monday. Amen. Just as this ash does not fill with a spring, does not sing like a nightingale, so the slave (name) will not drink green wine. Amen. Just as this ash will not farrow or whelp, so the slave (name) will say goodbye to wine forever. He will not drink: neither on Sunday, nor on Saturday, nor on Friday, nor on Thursday, nor on Wednesday, nor on Tuesday, nor on Monday, nor on weekdays, nor on Holy Days. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen".

Conspiracy for depression

Depression has become a disease of the 21st century. More and more often you can hear that it ruins all plans, prevents you from working and enjoying life. You can go to the doctor and take antidepressants. Or you can heal yourself using spells.

This ritual is performed only on Good Friday. For this you will need three consecrated paints. They need to be lowered into the water while reciting the plot. Then the patient needs to wash his face with this water.

“Strengthen my faithful words, Lord,

Strengthen, Christ, the servant of God (name).

How people rejoice at Easter,

So let the servant of God (name) be glad of life.

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen".

Conspiracy from enemies

If a person is successful, wealthy, and healthy, there will be many envious people and enemies. There are conspiracies that can protect against them. One of them is read on Good Friday in the morning. It will work throughout the year.

“In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. King Herod fights, fights, sheds blood, does not spare anyone, does not let anyone down. Against an evil person there is the Great Sagittarius - God the Father! Our Lord Jesus Christ has the Sun as a bow, the month as an arrow: There is something to shoot with. The Lord will not allow anyone to offend Me. The Lord God is ahead of me, the Mother of God is behind me, With Them I am not afraid of anyone, With Them I am not afraid of anyone. And you, my villainous enemies, have a knitting needle in your tongues, red-hot pincers in your fangs, and sand in your filthy eyes. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen".

Conspiracy for peace in the family

Some people bake Easter cakes on Good Friday. If you want everyone in your family to live together together, you need to make a tiny bun along with the Easter cakes. It needs to be divided into two halves. One must be eaten. And the other is hidden behind the icons, where he is supposed to lie all year. When you put the baked goods there, you should say:

“Lord, save, preserve, defend. Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen".

Acne conspiracy

Acne can ruin your mood, because everyone wants to have beautiful, clear skin. A conspiracy can help get rid of this scourge. For it you need to take a candle from Good Friday and measure it using a harsh thread.

It must be cut off by pronouncing the words of the conspiracy. After which both the thread and the candle are burned.

How to pray on Easter to be healed?

There is a special prayer that helps even the hopelessly ill. It is called “From Three Deaths” and should be read on the eve of Easter.

I am posting a miracle, an effective prayer. Whoever reads it at Easter, it saves him from three deaths. They read it with respect and faith.

This prayer helps even the hopelessly ill. They read it on the eve of Easter, until the bells ring, at home, on their knees.

“In the name of the Father, the eternal Creator, in the name of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now and forever and endlessly. Amen. Under Tsar Manuel Komnenos. At his golden laurel, Luke the Holy One served the Lord Bot. On the eve of Easter, the saint, in the golden monastery. Hodegetria, the Mother of God, appeared to two blind men. She brought them to the Blachernae Temple. Angels, cherubim, seraphim sang, the blind before mother Hodegetria received their sight. This is the prayer of the holy Rutsy Pisa VVli. All 40 saints blessed her. Truly! The Lord Himself said: “Whoever reads this prayer before Easter will, with the help of it, escape from three deaths.” In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen".

Prayer-amulet against illnesses:

If an adult or child is constantly and severely ill, do the following for Easter. Pour holy water brought from church into a small bottle. Place the pectoral cross (consecrated) of the person you want to heal into it and read the prayer 3 times:

“In the kingdom of heaven there is a wonderful spring. Whoever touches the water, whoever washes his face with water, his illnesses will be washed away. I collected that water and gave it to God’s servant (name). In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen".

Take out the cross, put it on the owner, and sprinkle water three times on his forehead. Sprinkle the frequently ill person with enchanted water 3 times a day throughout Easter week. And keep the bottle near any icon.

HEALING BY RINGING BELLS.

Bell ringing has very strong cleansing energy. This is confirmed even by scientists who conducted special studies.

Since ancient times, it has been believed that all evil spirits are afraid to death of the ringing of bells. Therefore, during the Easter gospel, it is good to remove all negative programs from yourself, including damage.

This is quite simple to do, since you do not need to perform any special rituals. When you hear that the bells are ringing in the temple, you just need to read the plot 3 times:

“As these bells ring, they talk about the good news, how firmly the temple wall stands, so firmly the ringing of the bell destroys corruption, returns it to the dark abyss. The bell rings, the evil and dashing word destroys the ringing. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen".

After this, cross yourself three times and read the “Our Father” prayer to yourself 3 times.

In addition, ringing bells helps alleviate the suffering of sick people. Having heard the sounds of the bell, you need to go into the church, light a candle for the health of the patient and, crossing yourself, read the plot 3 times:

“Lord, deliver God’s servant from diseases of body and soul. With the ringing of a bell, glorifying You, remove filth, blackness, lameness and aches. Amen".

Conspiracies for health.

If, at the first strike of the church bell, you cross yourself and say:

“Christ is risen, and the servant (name) is in good health,” even a seriously ill person recovers. Girls of marriageable age and widows say: “Christ is risen, and the suitors come to me. Amen".

A towel (towel) consecrated on Easter is used in the treatment of various diseases - it is used to wipe a sick person. Take a new, white towel for this.

Conspiracy against diseases.

Collect thin white skin from a birch tree, brew it at three o’clock in the morning and add three pinches of wood ash, salt and shells from eggs boiled for Easter. Over all this, read the spell, and then give the patient a drink.

From all the joints my pain,

There's a grip on my body.
Key, lock, tongue.
Amen. Amen. Amen."

On the waning moon, melt the incense bought on the third day after Easter in a cup. When it bubbles, put twelve candles in it and read the following plot:

The bell-ringer's three daughters are coming,
Three sons of a sexton.
The bell ringer's daughter of the servant of God (name)
The vertebrae are counting
The sexton's sons will reprimand him for his hernia,
And the Mother of God let them
He blesses us for this work. Amen.

After this, pour the incense and wax onto a rag, tie it on your lower back (on a sore spot) and go to bed.

Created everything from nothing!
Bless and cleanse my body,
May your work be holy and strong.

Doesn’t whine, doesn’t tingle and doesn’t burn with fire,
So my bones wouldn’t hurt,
They didn’t whine, they didn’t ache, they didn’t burn.
The water of God comes down from heaven,
My body is being cleared of illness.

Her fins are tin,
The head is golden, and her soul is bast.
She doesn’t hear her own or anyone else’s pain,

For good luck, for success, against misfortune, on the night from Wednesday to Maundy Thursday, a bundle of salt is placed in the oven. Even before sunrise, they take him and carry him to any water (river, well, lake), throw salt into the water and say:

"They don't weave sandals from salt,
They don't weave a path out of salt,
No one considers salt an enemy
Nobody wishes any harm.
They don't shoot her, they don't flog her,
They don't beat her with sticks or whips.
No one judges salt, no one kills,
No one wishes death or damage to her.
So would it be for me, God’s servant,
To be, like Thursday salt, invulnerable,
Invincible neither by beast nor by man.
And be my words molded, And be my deeds strong.
Alatyr is as strong as a stone.
Like a bath leaf to the bare bottom of the sculptures.
Key, lock, tongue. Amen.
Amen Amen."

On Easter, you can read a talisman that, like an invisible shield, will protect you from all life’s adversities. To do this, stand next to the temple and count those who will come out of the gate. When exactly forty people come out of the gate, cross yourself and say:

“In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Mother Mary carried Christ,
She gave birth, baptized, fed, gave water,
She taught prayers, saved, protected,
And then at the Cross she sobbed, shed tears, wailed,
She suffered together with her dear Son.
Jesus Christ rose on Sunday
From now on His glory will be from earth to heaven.
Now he himself, his slaves, takes care of us,
He graciously accepts our prayers.
Lord, hear me, save me, protect me
From all troubles now and forever.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Now and ever and unto ages of ages.
Amen".

Our Lord Jesus Christ.

We bow down, Lord,
And we glorify Your Holy Resurrection.
Save me, a sinner, your servant (name),
Always and now
And ever and ever. Amen. Your Rod.
The Blessed Virgin Mary fell asleep
In Bethlehem city,
Wonderful month of March
In God's church, behind the throne.
And the Lord came to her and said:
“My Mother Mary, Most Holy Theotokos, are you sleeping or not sleeping?
Do you hear or don’t you hear?
What do you see in your dream?
Awaken from sleep to supreme glory,
And invincible here
In the next century, grant
And even endless joy.
No sorrow, no sighing, but eternal life.
We glorify the Holy Trinity and Mother.
We magnify the Lord my God Jesus Christ,
Always and now
And ever and ever. Amen."

Every hole, every crack,
With doors, with windows,
with side logs,
There is a stone fence around our mansion
With green tint.
Who built this fence - the Angels of the Lord.
They will speak to the servant of God (name) from corruption.
From great trouble, from the gravestone,
from the burial ground.
Neither the first man nor the last will spoil it,
Not on the church, not on its fence, not on the icon.
Not on a candle, not on a needle, not near the cemetery.
Amen"

and "May God rise again."

After reading the prayers, immediately ask for forgiveness. In the old days they said that the dead on this day hear every word addressed to them.

Church name: Maundy Monday

Meaning: Monday of Holy Week, the last week of Lent

Traditions: Reading the Gospel; general cleaning of the house; Singing and dancing are prohibited; strict fast

The national holiday Great Monday is celebrated on the Monday before Easter. In 2017 it is April 10.

Features of the holiday

Maundy Monday is a church holiday dedicated to the memory of Joseph the Beautiful. He was a patriarch who lived during the Old Testament. Joseph was pure and righteous in his early childhood, but his treacherous and envious brothers decided to sell him to the Egyptians. On his way, he experienced a lot of torment and grief, becoming a kind of prototype of the great Savior Jesus Christ. Also in temples and churches on the day of Holy Monday, a biblical story is remembered, telling about the expulsion of shopkeepers from the sacred temple by Jesus Christ. However, almost all prayers and services throughout the day are held in memory of the barren fig tree. The history of the holiday, as well as its meaning, is based on this tree.

Traditions and rituals of Holy Monday 2017

The most important, Great week in the life of every Christian is coming. On Holy Monday, as well as on the next two days, it is customary to remember the last conversations of the Savior with His disciples and those who came to listen to Him.

The Church recommends putting aside all matters, solving pressing problems and immersing yourself in the world of memories from two thousand years ago. Reading the Gospel is suitable for this (what exactly needs to be read is indicated in the Orthodox calendar). It is best to do this at home, without fuss, with your family. An integral part of such a process is reflection on the suffering of the Son of Man.

People devote the day to preparations for the main Christian holiday - Easter. In the old days, stoves and houses were whitewashed, and livestock was cleaned. Hence the name “Clean Monday”. Now, in continuation of ancient traditions, it is customary to do a general cleaning of the house, which also includes minor repairs.

According to church rules, on Holy Monday 2017 all discord, foul language and unclean thoughts are prohibited. Bread, vegetables and fruits are allowed from food. But according to an unspoken rule, many Orthodox Christians spend this day in strict fasting, without food or water.

You can't sing and dance on Maundy Monday - it's a sin.

Good Monday Prayers

Troparion for Holy Monday

voice 8

Behold, the Bridegroom comes at midnight, / and blessed is the servant who will be found when he is vigilant, / but unworthy is he who is found when he is despondent. / Take care, my soul, / not to be burdened with sleep, / so that you are not given over to death, / and the Kingdom is shut up outside, / but arise, calling: / Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, O God, / Through the Mother of God have mercy on us.

Kontakion on Holy Monday

voice 8

Jacob wept through Joseph’s hardships, / and sat valiantly on a chariot, like a king to be revered: / for the Egyptians then did not work with sweets, / glorified by the One who Leads the human heart, / and the One who Sends an imperishable crown.

Signs for Good Monday in 2017

The Russian people had many traditions of celebration, rituals and ceremonies dedicated to Great Monday with the advent of Christianity. So the housewives swept the corners of the house with a damp cloth that day. It was believed that in the future this rag could relieve joint pain, treat the lower back and other problems. All you had to do was bandage the sore spot with a rag. They also used this rag in the bathhouse, wiping their feet with it to avoid pain and various diseases of the feet.

The healers were collecting ash that day. She helped them treat alcoholism, the evil eye, and many magical effects. The girls wondered, looking out the window. If, after a long gaze into the distance, the image of a man appeared, they expected well-being over the next three months. At this time, sick people are quickly cured, and problems are quite easily solved. However, the old woman who appears in the window promises nothing but failure for three months. The young woman in the window foreshadowed a three-month life without problems and illnesses, and several people or a family appearing in the window on Good Monday was a sign of reconciliation and forgiveness of old grievances. If you saw a dog, you prepared for sadness and melancholy, and a cat - for wealth and profit. A bird flying up to the window promised good news and acquaintances, while a lame or cross-eyed person meant the death of close relatives.

If the sky is clear in the morning and the sun “plays” on it, then all marriages in the year will be happy.

Health spell on Holy Monday
