The birth of a child on Palm Sunday. About the birth of children

Holy Week begins six days before Easter. It is considered the most difficult and responsible time of Lent, so many are interested in the question of how this affects the fate of children born during this period.

Palm Sunday

Although this day does not belong to Holy Week, Palm Sunday is celebrated exactly seven days before the Bright Holiday. Children born on this day will be happy and lucky. Fortune favors them all their lives. They will never have financial problems, as well as in relationships with the opposite sex. Quite often, such children become leaders in the company. Their opinion is always listened to and appreciated. The ability to lead will help to achieve great heights in society, in adulthood they usually occupy high-ranking positions, connect their lives with politics. However, they should remember that all this grace came from God, so you need to honor him: visit temples, pray and give alms to those in need.

Great Monday

On this day, women usually did the cleaning, put the house clean and tidy, so the baby was born a neat and respectable person. Faced with evil or deceit, he feels offended and even humiliated if the negative comes from close and dear people. It is difficult for him to accept the hypocrisy and rudeness that often surrounds us. But those born on Good Monday always have many friends who sincerely love his purity and naivety, although some often use his trust. The Great Monday kid should always carry the image of a guardian angel with him, which will protect him from enemies and enemies.

Clean Tuesday

On the Tuesday before Easter, healthy and strong babies are born. They are well developed physically, rarely get sick. It is about them that they say that they have Siberian health. However, the children of Pure Tuesday have a drawback - low intelligence, so the guys do not study well and even additional activities will not help them reach heights. They have many friends who feel like behind a stone wall. As adults, these people connect their lives with risky professions, so they should always have a pectoral cross with them, consecrated on Clean Tuesday.

Passion Wednesday

If a woman felt attempts that day, then she was sent to a bathhouse, where she could wash herself and give birth to a strong man with a beautiful soul and a kind heart. This person will never betray, he will always stand up for the weak and the disadvantaged. The children of Holy Wednesday always bring kittens and puppies into the house to feed and warm, and as adults, they choose a profession related to helping others - doctors, volunteers, etc. If they are wealthy people, then they will definitely engage in patronage. They need to confess and take communion, then life will pass in happiness and peace.

Pure Thursday

On this day, everyone swam before dawn, so if the baby appeared at night, then he was sure to be moistened with plenty of water. These kids are like the sun - they always have a smile on their faces, and happiness in their eyes. They never lose heart, it is light and warm with them, so many are drawn to them. They have many friends who are used to not only taking, but also giving. Such a child has no enemies, he is adored by educators and teachers, parents and children. When he becomes an adult, he tries to keep in touch with all the friends who love him and are always ready to help. The people of Maundy Thursday need to drink three sips of holy water every morning, then all troubles and hardships will pass by.

Good Friday

Quite a difficult day when people of difficult character are born. It is not easy to build relationships with them, as they are touchy and vindictive. However, rarely anyone pays attention to their behavior, so children born on Good Friday begin to adapt to society in order to lead a calm lifestyle. Over time, they make friends, good relations with classmates, and then with colleagues. It is only difficult for them to find a soul mate, few can endure the difficult nature of those born on Good Friday, so they often remain lonely. They need to arrange pilgrimages - life will become brighter and more fun.

Holy Saturday

On this day, resourceful children are born, they will never get confused. All troubles quickly move away from them, as the approaching Great Bright Holiday has a great influence. They never get into a mess, they will get out of any situation dry from the water. This quality will be useful to them in adult life - they will be able to achieve any goal, finding inputs and outputs for the sake of its implementation. Such people need to read "Our Father" daily - an excellent defense against envious people, of whom they have a lot.

Palm Sunday is one of the most joyful and bright Orthodox holidays. The Orthodox holiday Palm Sunday is always celebrated a week before Easter, so there is no fixed date.

In 2018, Palm Sunday is celebrated on April 1, the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem (date, date). It marks the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. It is from this moment that his entry on his "cross" path begins.

Jesus went to this voluntarily, with love for people and with faith in his almighty father.

Beliefs on Palm Sunday

This holiday is called in different ways: Vay Week, Palm Sunday, Palm Sunday and anticipates Holy Week, the sixth week of Great Lent, the week before Easter.

In Russian theological books, this week is also called Flower-bearing. But all Orthodox have long been accustomed to the name Palm Sunday.

What kind of holiday is this, and why is the Lord's entry into Jerusalem so important? Jerusalem at that time was under the rule of the Romans. The Jews believed that the Messiah would appear at Easter and free them from slavery. Before coming to Jerusalem, Jesus revived Lazarus, the brother of Martha and Mary, who had died two days ago and was already buried in the rock. For this, Jesus did not engage in any rituals, only looked at the sky and said:

“Father! Thank you for listening to me. I knew that You would always hear Me, but I said this for the people standing here, so that they would believe that You sent Me ”(John, ch. 11)

The news of this miraculous return from the realm of the dead quickly spread among people, and when Jesus entered Jerusalem, people met him as a messenger of God and firmly believed that he was the Messiah.

Once upon a time there was a custom - if the winner enters the city on a donkey, then with peace, and if on a horse, then with bad intentions, with war. Knowing this, Jesus decided to keep the tradition and show everyone that he only wants peace.

Not far from Jerusalem was the village of Bethphage. Having reached it, Jesus asked his disciples to get him a young donkey. The disciples soon brought him both a donkey and a donkey. They put their clothes on the donkey, Jesus sat on the donkey, picked up a palm branch - a symbol of peace and went to the city.

All the people came out to meet him. People spread their clothes under his feet, threw palm branches and flowers. Therefore, Palm Sunday is also called Palm Sunday or Blooming Week.

In Jerusalem, Jesus drove the money changers and merchants out of the temple of God, throwing their tables. He said that the temple was created for prayer, not for making deals, not for deceit and not for evil. After that, he told people about the almighty God, and about what awaits him.

A lot of sick, blind, lame and wretched reached out to Jesus, and he healed all of them, strengthening the faith among the people that he is the Messiah. Having finished all the affairs in this city, Jesus left it. But not everyone praised him and recognized him as a messenger of God.
The high priests of Jerusalem hated Jesus for the love of the people for him and planned to destroy him.

Jesus knew about this, but did not want to change anything, since he voluntarily fulfilled the will of God for the benefit of all of us, all future generations.

In Rus', the day of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem has been celebrated since the 10th century. Palm trees do not grow here, and the willow is one of the first plants to come to life after winter.

Therefore, we call this Sunday Palm Sunday.

The willow must be cut in advance and consecrated in the church on Saturday before Palm Sunday. Earlier in Rus', solemn processions were organized imitating the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. In the absence of a donkey, a horse was dressed up in it. The priest rode on her. Under the bridle it was led by the mayor, governor, and in the capital the king himself. These marches were later cancelled.

Palm Sunday is a movable church holiday, which depends on the date of Easter. The last Holy Week of Lent preceding Easter begins on Palm Sunday. Since Easter falls on April 8 this year, Palm Sunday in 2018 falls on April 1.

Previously, there was an interesting ritual associated with willow. On Sunday morning, it was necessary to lightly hit all the inhabitants of the house with a willow. They especially tried to touch the children and young people in the house with the consecrated branches. It was believed that after this, evil spirits could not touch the children, and young girls would give birth easily and the babies would be healthy.

Such an attitude towards willow is easily explained, since in Rus' it was rightfully considered the strongest, strongest and most tenacious tree that could grow in any soil.

To prevent evil forces from entering the house, it is customary to take branches only from healthy and young trees without damage. You can not cut branches from a willow that stands near the cemetery, or which has a hollow. You should also avoid those trees whose branches bend over the water. Signs say that mermaids and mermen could swing on them at night.

To improve health, it is customary to swallow 3 buds from a willow. The ritual also helps to attract good luck. In the sowing season, before going out into the field, stick a few willow branches into the ground for a future rich harvest.

For wealth, any indoor plant with fleshy and large leaves was planted on a holiday. But not everyone decides on such an experiment: if the flower fades, the whole life will pass in poverty and deprivation. Not everyone is ready to know a negative prophecy in advance, so this sign is gradually becoming a thing of the past.

Signs suggest how to recover faster. You need to bake a pie with willow buds or add them to tea - and the disease will recede. If you suffer from a migraine, comb your hair with the words: "Go away, water, into the ground, take the pain with you." Then put the comb into the water and water the willow tree with it.

In Rus', working on Palm Sunday was considered a sin. It was also believed that the violation of this prohibition could bring all sorts of misfortunes to the "disobedient" and his family.

Women were strictly forbidden to clean the house, do laundry, and too active chores in the kitchen were not welcomed. Also on this day, women's needlework was banned: sewing, embroidery, knitting, spinning. It was believed that needles and knitting needles bring special misfortune to those who pick them up on a holiday.

Our grandmothers also believed that a few branches of willow would have a miraculous effect on livestock and crops. They tried to make the first pasture of cattle on the field after a long winter with willow branches. And yet, perhaps, such a custom is still alive today: they drove lightning away from the house with a willow, decorating window sills with it.

To do this, believers ate three buds of the plant, washed them down with consecrated water and thought about their business, wishing it to be resolved as soon as possible. It was possible to read prayers at this moment.

True, it was not encouraged to do this often and for nothing: there is no point in abusing Divine help on such an important day. It is not known whether Divine power really helps people on this day or is it just proof of the materiality of thought, but wishes made on Palm Sunday come true more often.

It is also believed that willow buds help overcome infertility, so many desperate women who dream of a child eat them and pray to the Most Holy Theotokos.

Palm Sunday is a holiday rich in signs, customs and traditions. A huge stream of believers on this day rushes to the church.

The holiday falls on Great Lent. However, on this day, believers can indulge themselves in a strict fasting diet: you can even eat fish and drink some wine.

In the old days in Rus', to celebrate Palm Sunday, they baked buckwheat pancakes, boiled mash and prepared fish pies.

In addition, there was an interesting custom to bake holiday bread - as many pieces as there are people in the family. A coin was hidden in one of the loaves, and the one who got this treat with a surprise was literally doomed to happiness, health and good luck for 12 months.

But the lighting of the willow in the church remained. When people stand with willow branches and lit candles in their hands, they imagine that they, too, meet Jesus entering Jerusalem.

It is possible at this moment to ask the Lord for healing yourself and your loved ones, for help during childbirth, for the opportunity to conceive a child for those who cannot do this. Those who truly believe in Jesus can feel the signs sent to him from above and will certainly receive the fulfillment of their requests.

Miraculous properties have long been attributed to consecrated willow. It is believed that it helps to heal from ailments. To do this, you need to eat 9 fluffy buds. The same must be done for those who wish to conceive a child.

With willow buds they bake cakes, which they themselves eat, and they give to cattle so that they do not get sick. There was also a custom to whip (not painfully) children, cattle and each other with a consecrated willow, so that health would be added, and ailments could not cling.

Palm Sunday is so significant that on this day it is allowed to eat fish dishes and drink wine, despite the fact that Great Lent continues.

There is a belief that a woman who dreams of having a child, but cannot get pregnant, after eating willow buds consecrated in the church, will definitely give birth.

And with these consecrated bouquets they “whipped” livestock - for health. And children! Slightly, but with great benefit. It is unlikely that anyone will condemn parents for this even today. The main thing is to say: "Willow whip, beat to tears." Well, in fact, of course, it’s not necessary to tears, but older children, who understand that this is a rite, can pretend that they are crying and hurting. This ceremony was carried out as a protective against diseases.

Various actions are now unfolding on social networks, calling for not throwing away willow branches after Palm Sunday, holding them in water until roots appear and planting them in the ground. On the one hand - a wonderful action, on the other - superstitious people have concerns.

It is said that the one who plants a willow dies when a shovel can be made from it. That is, there is nothing special to be afraid of, since the willow grows slowly, and it turns out that the omen, rather, is for longevity than for something bad.

But at the same time, it is believed that young willow branches are a source of vitality, like the tree itself, but an old tree, on the contrary, pumps out forces, attracts negativity. A young tree heals, it is a donor of positive energy, and an old one is a vampire. Here is the dilemma - to plant or not to plant, for example, on your site?

It turns out what to plant, let it grow for some time, and then cut it down? But how to determine this limit? And how to determine from which tree we bought branches in the city and brought them into the house. From old or young?

However, many Russians do not believe in omens and do not ask these questions. For those who feel sorry for the branches with the roots that have appeared, they plant them in the yard or in the country. Planting a tree is always good. Well, if you are not sure of yourself, do not put the branches in the water, there will be no roots. Each nation has its own signs and traditions.

There is one. Like, after the consecration of the willow, all the evil spirits that warmed up on it in winter and spring fall under the willow and go into the water. And you can’t drink such water for a whole week before Easter. It is clear that no one intends to sip from the vessel where the branches stand, but if a tree was consecrated above the river or next to the well, people were afraid. This is in Belarus.

And it is customary for Catholics to burn holiday twigs after Easter and leave the ashes for a special ceremony on Ash Wednesday. Sprinkling the head with such ashes was considered a symbol of humility and repentance.

It is on this day that Lent begins for Catholics. And for the Orthodox, this happens on Monday, Pure Monday.

Here we often, without hesitation, mention the expression “no need to sprinkle ashes on your head” when we urge someone not to despair, but we don’t always think about where it came from.

Be that as it may, willow is considered a magical tree and must be treated with respect.

By tradition, the branches can be consecrated on Saturday after the evening service or after the Sunday morning. But often the priests, going to meet the parishioners, bless the willow throughout the day. After reading the prayers, the branches are irrigated with special holy water.

Often, parishioners needlessly get upset because, in their opinion, not enough water got on their branches or not at all. These worries in vain willow tufts are sanctified not by water, but by the grace of the Holy Spirit. All the branches that are brought from the temple after the service become your amulet for the whole year.

In no case should you throw away a bunch of willow with garbage when it dries.

Willow should be left in the house for a year. After this time, you can let it into a stream or river, or dig it in the four corners of the land. The consecrated twigs will protect from the violence of the elements and thunderstorms. They must be placed in front of the holy image.

Previously, the branches were decorated with ribbons, but now this is not at all necessary. Beekeepers sometimes stick twigs around the perimeter of the apiary to collect a lot of honey and make the bees swarm better.

If you knock on the body with a willow branch - there will be health for a whole year.

Perhaps this is the only sign that people know about today. First, a willow twig is consecrated on this day in the church, and after that they tap on the body with a twig and say:

"Be as strong as the willow, as healthy as its roots, and as rich as the earth." This preference is given to willow because it is perhaps the most tenacious tree that exists in nature.

It is believed that even if a willow stick is stuck into the ground upside down, it will still be accepted and will grow. It is for this reason that willow will be able to give health to a person, because she herself is very strong.

Eat a willow bud - an important matter will be decided.

It was customary to keep consecrated willow branches for a whole year near the icon. If you have to go to important negotiations, or you are going to start a very important business for you, and you are not sure of the result, then the willow will help you here too. But only the willow that was consecrated in the church on Palm Sunday will help.

Going on an important matter, you need to tear off three buds from a branch and eat them, drinking holy water, while thinking about your business. True, you can use this property of a twig only in the most extreme case. Constantly, it is not necessary, it is better not to disturb the willow, it can go sideways.

On Palm Sunday, think about your loved one, he will come.

Superstition? More likely. But before, a young girl, if she liked some guy, but he did not pay any attention to her, she was waiting for this particular day. Starting in the morning, she began to think about who is dear to her heart. Her thoughts in some incomprehensible way were transmitted to this guy.

And in the evening he came to her to invite her for a walk. In principle, it has long been proven that human thought is material. Everything that we think about, sooner or later necessarily happens in real life. Perhaps Palm Sunday has such an energy that allows us to bring our thoughts to life much faster than on any other day.

Plant a houseplant on Palm Sunday - you will be rich.

It used to be that if you plant an indoor flower on this particular day, it will attract money into your life. In the cities, of course, houseplants were kept, but in the villages it was not up to that. But those who knew about this sign, and planted indoor plants, very quickly got to their feet.

But this sign has several features that few people know about. Firstly, if the flower wilts within a month, then you have to live your whole life in poverty.

And secondly, you need to plant only plants with large and fleshy leaves. By the way, one of these plants is now called the money tree. In order for it not to wither and grow well, you need to know the special rules for planting and caring for it.

By the way, it has been noticed that in the house where the money tree grows well, there is always prosperity and there is no lack of money.

Poultry is not allowed outside - the witch will spoil it.

Perhaps, earlier in this sign they were sure, but not now. It was believed that a week before Easter, the witches began to run amok. After all, starting from Easter and all holidays, their strength temporarily decreased. So they tried to play a dirty trick, so to speak, for future use. It was believed that it was on the poultry that the witches recouped.

That's just to believe this sign or not, it is not known. But in the villages, to this day, those who keep the bird on Palm Sunday try not to let it out into the street.

There are holidays that we have heard about, we know, but we do not know about the signs associated with this day. We do not worry much because we do not know what customs to observe. But when troubles happen in our life, problems appear, then we begin to think where all this comes from, and why all this is on our heads.

On Palm Sunday, headaches speak. To do this, after combing your hair, remove the hairs from the comb and put them in water. Pour this water on the willow on Palm Sunday and say: "Water, go into the ground with a headache."

On Palm Sunday, they make a love spell on a willow. To do this, break a branch and say: “As long as the willow lies behind the icon, Until then, my husband will not stop loving me, will not forget. Amen". Put the willow behind the icon.

Just do not throw away the charmed branch!

Remember that branches from Palm Sunday must be preserved. They help in the treatment of many diseases!

It is customary, according to legend, on Palm Sunday to lash with a willow on the back of the one to whom you wish health.

But know that the one who lashed you on the back wishes you bad.

Since, having whipped with a willow on this great holiday, they may wish you evil, and it will come true.

Holy willow. And then they keep it in the house all year in a vase or behind icons. An old willow that has stood for a year is swept over all corners, windows, thresholds, thanked for its service and burned.

It is necessary to whip with a new sacred willow on the back of all domestic and animal animals, say out loud: “Willow whip, beat to tears,” this adds health.

Kidneys, pussies from holy willow help with female infertility and enuresis.

Today you can bake fluffy willows in bread and give sick pets - they will be healed. Anyone who helps their loved ones with castings or other methods to remove damage or heal, this amulet from interception will come in handy: today on an empty stomach you need to eat 3 willow buds and drink holy water. Then say: “St. Paul waved the willow, he drove away other people’s diseases from me.

Just as it is true that Palm Sunday is honored, it is true that other people's illnesses do not bother me. Amen". If you are an Orthodox person, then before that you need to take communion.

Many sayings are associated with willow and will accept: “On the eve of Palm Sunday, Saint Lazarus climbed for willow”, “Cattle are driven out into the field for the first time with willow from Palm Sunday”, “If Palm week is bucketful, with matinees, then yari will be good”, “ On the willow frost - spring bread will be good”, “Willow leads the thaw, drives the last ice from the river”, “It is not the willow that beats, but the old sin.”

According to Scripture, it was a week before his resurrection that Jesus Christ solemnly entered Jerusalem. He was greeted as the Son of God, since the day before he performed a miracle, resurrecting his recently deceased friend Lazarus. This holiday is of great importance for all believers, because on that day Jesus voluntarily, knowing that he would soon have a tragic death, came to the city. It was this moment that served as the beginning of his suffering for human sins. It was also important that Christ entered Jerusalem on a donkey, since it was on these animals that victors and rulers entered the city at that time, and the jubilant people greeted them with shouts and waving palm branches. But the Son of God was not a conqueror or king of the earth, he rode into the city on a donkey, claiming to be the King of Heaven. Only seven days separated him from death on the cross.

In our country, this holiday is called Palm Sunday, because willow (as well as willow and willow) became its main attributes, symbolizing palm branches, with the wave of which the inhabitants of Jerusalem greeted Christ.
