Entrance of the Lord in Jerusalem

A week before the celebration of the Sunday's Light Christ, in memory of the solemn entrance of the Lord Jesus Christ in Jerusalem - the main city of Holy Land - in front of his criticism, the entrance of the Lord in Jerusalem is celebrated.

Holiday of the entrance of the Lord in Jerusalem (Week Wairy, colorful week, Palm Sunday) - one of the 12 main holidays Orthodox church. The divine service is remembered by the gospel events of the solemn entrance of the Lord of our Jesus Christ in Jerusalem on the eve of the glory suffering. Residents of the Holy City met Christ as a Messiah - with palm branches in her hands, hence the original name of the holiday - "Palm Sunday".

At that day, Christ hung in Jerusalem in young fox. On the eve, he made a miracle of the resurrection of the Holy Righteous Lazarus who lived along with his sisters Martha and Maria in the village of Viph near Jerusalem and died four days before the arrival of Jesus in Viph.

The news of the resurrection of Lazarus was shielded by Jerusalem. People learned that Jesus, having resurrected Lazarus, goes to the city. Many people came to meet him. People twisted their clothes on his way. Others carried palm branches in their hands - the victory symbol, solemnly exclaiming: "Osanna (salvation) to the son of Davidov!" - So the Jews were made to celebrate the kings and winners. Only Christ alone knew that the path was deemed by palm branches, leads to the cross and Calp.

Entering the temple, Jesus kicked out merchants from him and began to heal the blind and chrome. People, seeing the wonders of Christ, even more began to glorify him. On the following days, Jesus preached in the temple, and the night spent at the city.

The people followed Jesus relentlessly, and the high priests, the elders of the people, the scribes were looking for a chance to destroy him.

Palm Sunday

Holiday entrance of the Lord in Jerusalem christian church He introduced in the 4th century, and he came to Russia in the X century and became known as Verbal Sunday, as the willow played the same role here as palm trees, palm branches. Verba was sanctified and consecrated now in the Church of Holy Water.

According to the church tradition on the holiday of the Lord's entrance in Jerusalem, believers stand in worship wrens in their hands. Therefore, the holiday is called Palm Sunday. Willows are replaced by Viai - palm branches that kept the residents of Jerusalem in the hands of Christ. Believers seeming invisibly the coming Lord.

On the eve of Palm Sunday, on the All-Night Division on Saturday, the willow is sanctified by the sprinkling of holy water after reading the special prayer. However, on Sunday, in the morning service, people stand with Willow twigs and lit candles, and after liturgy there is a sprinkling.

Widder is consecrated by the grace of the Spirit of the Holy Spirit, so you should not worry about how much water got a sprig. The droplet of the holy water or liter is not important, the willow is consecrated.

In contact with this shrine, a person gets sanctification. Christians on this day come to the temple to pray, remember the solemn meeting of Jesus in Jerusalem and a part of this holiday to bring themselves home.

Before the holiday, the old branches burn, and the new ones put next to the icons.

Why consecrate the twigs of the Willow?

At the willower before other trees there are kidneys.

The Verba sincecore was attributed to the magical strength to promote fertility and future harvest. It was also believed that the willow had the ability to endow health and sexual energy of people and cattle, to protect against diseases and purify from unclean power.

In addition, the Verba is attributed to the power to guard the houses from the fire, the Niva from the hail, stop the storm, recognize the sorcerers and witches, to detect the treasures. "Earrings" will swallow in order to protect themselves from the disease and drive any rhir. This shrine is distinguished by the demons. During thunderstorms saves from lightning, so the twigs put on the windowsill.

In antiquity in Russia, the preparation of Verba branches was a kind of rite. On the eve of the Palm Sunday, the Russians went to break the willow on the shores near the flowing rivers.

Having come from the church with a sanctified Verba, it was customary to steer her children, while saying: "Verba - His, beats to tears, Verba Krasnos, beats not in vain."

We must whine and yourself to replenish the health, while it should be said: "I'm not Bew, the willow beats."

Sincerely and newlyweds or young girls are also consecrated and young girls - so that they have healthy kids.

It is believed that the sanctified willow, thrown against the wind, drives a storm, thrown into the flame stops the action of the fire, and the crumpled stuck in the field.

Cowardly people who wish to get rid of their lack, needed to bepper sunday, at the arrival of the cauldron, to drive the peg of consecrated willow in the wall of their house.

On the weather at the request was judged by the future crop. Good weather on these days foreshadows rich harvest.

After the Passing Sunday, a passionate saddemic begins. Each day, step by step gradually indicates the last days of the Savior's earthly life. The church in these days recalls gospel events, and in the first three days all four Gospels are read on the clock: Matvey and Mark - on Monday, Luke and John - on Tuesday and Wednesday.

For our sake themselves these days we must collect all your thoughts and feelings and clean them. How to do it, you can read on the site.

Willow Branch symbolizes the victory of life over death - Resurrection of the Lord. On weekends, usually go to the forest to block the wind branches.

In ancient times, the sacred branches were kept behind the images for a whole year, that is, until the next Palm Sunday. It is considered consecrated Willow twigs guard the house and its inhabitants from all the troubles, misfortunes and unclean strength, bring grace.

About what the church says about the willow you can.

The old vessels, spuning the year, spend all the corners, windows, thresholds, thank it for the service and burn.

Pious tradition of sanctification of the Verb is performed on the festive Veligid Division. After reading the Gospel, the priest makes each Verb, reads a prayer and sprinkles the branches of holy water. Under the sanctification of the willow, the prayer is read: "Ceiling will be consecled, the grave of all the spirit of the Spirit and the sprinkling of the water of this is sacred, in the name of the Father and Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen!" (So \u200b\u200byou can sanctify the willow yourself if you can't go to church for some good reasons - only to women during the critical days cannot be done - it is better to ask for a prayer and sprinkle the willow of someone from households).

Sanctified willow has a special healing force.

For example, a sick person can take the ward branch consecrated in the church and led it on those points of the body, which are particularly worried, saying: "The Holy Spirit, through the willer, go away. Verba will come - the disease will take away. "

Be careful, nor in the church, nor after do not give any blesses from your already consecrated bouquet - very many knowledgeable people are so "stealing" happiness and health.

But, if, let's say, someone asked you to sanctify the will - there is no nothing is wrong, just immediately make a separate bouquet. I often saw how sanctifying whole yellows ... This is nothing - here the amount does not go to quality. Moreover, as I have already mentioned - it is impossible to distribute a consecrated version from his bouquet (it does not apply to your household).

The consecration of the willow, the owner returned to the house and lightly hit all the households, saying:

"Verba Ksti, God forgive," or "Verba - His, beats to tears, Verba Krasnos, beats not in vain."

By hitting a lightweight Verva, you can say such words:

"Verba Hleust

Beats to tears.

Verba Sinia

Beats rustle

Verba Krasnaya

Hits in vain

Verba Bela.

Beats the case

Verba Hest -

Beats to tears! "

Or such words: "Be the same strong as the willow,as healthy as her roots and the same rich as the earth "

But know that the desired desires wishes you badly. Since, stepping with the Verba in this great holiday, you may wish for evil, and it will come true.

Most of all from the willow was delivered to children - in order to grow healthy, the parents were listened and they studied well, sentenced: "I'm not Bew, the willow beats!"

Residents of the village hit the Verba and domestic cattle - so as not to sick and the range he brought healthy, sentenced: "As a dressing grows, so you grow."

It is curious that the willer was often put in the feeders.

According to the beliefs of the peasants themselves, nine verbal sersions could save from fever.

Folk characteristics advised to be fruitless women there are kidneys of consecrated willow.

Set of books and workshops "Magic of important days"

The kit includes books and workshops with traditions, rites and rituals to the Orthodox holidays: Palm Resurrection, Clean Thursday, Easter. As well as books: "dreams of the Blessed Virgin" and "Icon in the house"

I look again: be attentive, do not let any branches from your already consecrated bouquet - very many knowledgeable people so "steal" happiness and health.

An example of such negligence (from the letter to the healer)

"Sorry to distract you from affairs, but I really need your advice. In Palm Sunday, I went to the church to sanctify the willow, I had three bouquets with me. In the church, a woman approached me and asked for one twig of the Willow, and I gave! And I know that it is impossible to give anything to people in the church, but for some reason, I could not refuse that woman.

The same evening I became bad, and I collapsed on the bed. I slept for a long time, but the dream was very heavy. The next morning I grabbed my heart, then my head was sick all day and getting worse and worse. Natalia Ivanovna, I do not understand how much it could happen to me! I wear a cross all the time, and there is a defense on me, and here such an attack! "

In order to reduce the damage induced in the church, take a handful of gray poppy into the right hand and spend it into your left hand. The poppy will fall with the hands to the ground, and in the meantime you say:

How this poppy does not hold on his hand, so that the damage does not hold on me from this hour, with God's damn.

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now and are confessed and forever and the ages, Amen.

Here are some rites associated with the Verbid Resurrection.

Protective conspiracy on the flowering willow

On the eve of the Verbal Resurrection, I wake the Willow twigs read a special conspiracy over them and give your favorite person. The conspiracy is:

As a Palm Sunday in the joy of all of the world Orthodox, so I would be the joy of my lovely, the slave of God (name). How the christian kel bell tower is waiting for a festive lunch, so there would be a slave of God (the name) waited for me, I was waiting for me, I looked for me in the human crowd, I looked out in the window, I would look out everywhere, and I would have rushed, and I would have rushed on the oncoming trail My hands are white.

There is a saying: we will put the willow near my house - the century itself is shortened. Naturally, it is possible to plant trees and even need.

A good admission is considered to make an amulet from the kidney, such a talisman will protect and heal its owner.

The Holiday of the Lord in Jerusalem, the Christian Church introduced in the IV century, and in Russia he appeared in the X century and became known as Verbal Sunday, since the willow had the same meaning as the palm branches. According to the traditions of the holiday on the eve of the Palm Sunday, Russian people went to the shores of the river to break the willow, and it was a real rite. The will always be sanctified in the Church of Holy Water, however, this tradition remained to our time.

In warm countries, this day is met with palm branches, in our country at that time of the year the leaves on the trees are not yet blown. The branches of evergreen coniferous plants were traditionally used in burial rigging, so it is impossible to use them.

According to the signs and beliefs it was believed that the consecrated willow possesses healing propertiesTherefore, the branches touched people, wishing them to health, set the head of the patients, applied to patients with places, stealing children so that they did not hurt during the year and grew up healthy. Excaped dried wind buds were added to various healing chambers, which were used to treat wounds and skin diseases. Sometimes the kidneys were added to bread and other baking, and some baked bread in the form of a verbal twig. From the drop-down kidneys did a verbal porridge. But the willow not only heals, it gives physical strength, courage and courage, so many young men made themselves chambers and talismans from the Kidney Willow.

It was believed that if before a long expensive or some serious business to eat several verbal kidneys, then a person on his way and in the case will only be successful. The branches were decorated with icons, they were hung in the corners of the rooms that many do to this day. Also, the amulets from verbal kidneys wore women who had no children. By accepting, it was necessary to eat ten kidney five days after the end of the monthly, it should have helped in conceiving a child. And so that the offspring was healthy, then the Willow Spread was put under the fence, and the newlyweds began to showered the kidneys.

Our ancestors believed that the Verba could give the sexual force of not only a person, but also livestock. That is why domestic animals were stealed with a consecrated verbal branch, hang branches in the beauties, and before the first pasture in the field, these branches were fed to animals, so that they were not poisoned to poisonous herbs, did not become a victim of diseases, thieves and predatory animals. No one day without adversely related to the weather. And Palm Sunday is no exception.

If it rains on Palm Sunday - wait good harvest. This sign is based on perennial observations of our ancestors. They noticed that if it was raining in this day, then the harvest would be just wonderful. If, on the contrary, it is dry weather, then the crop can not wait. And, if in the sky clouds, overcast, but there is no rain, then the crop will be quite good, but not the way I would like. It was also believed that the willb could protect the house from the natural elements. In the house in which there is a consecrated twig of the Willow, lightning will not fall. If you have a fire with a fire in the fire, it will go out faster, and the flame will not turn to another structure. And the twigs thrown during the ice drift in the water will help to avoid large floods.

If unused branches remained for the next holiday of the Verbo Sunday, they could not be thrown into them. They must be burned and throw in the stream or river, and the water should not be standing. Choosing new branches, preferred with young trees growing from rivers. It was impossible to take branches from trees growing near the cemetery, as well as on which there are sockets and a hollow.

Many people, believers and not very, and on our days the day before the Verbal Sunday, decorate their home by sprigs of willow, because this plant gives joy and awakens in the heart of the spring.

Signs for Palm Resurrection

Wrong by the body of the Willow Spark - Will Health whole year. Perhaps this is the only sign that people know about today. At first, the Willow Spray is sanctified on this day in the church, and then they tap the branch over the body and sentenced: "Be as strong as the willow, as healthy as her roots and the same rich as the Earth." Such preference is given to the Verba because it is perhaps the most lively tree, which is only in nature.

The willow at this time is a significant plant in the national Orthodox culture of Russians. It gave the name "Palm Sunday" Church of the two-month holiday of the entrance of the Lord in Jerusalem, celebrated on the last Sunday before Easter. According to the Gospel, Jesus, Xursa, headed with students from Viph, where he raised Lazarus, in Jerusalem to celebrate Easter there. On the approach to the city, Xlestos saw the donkey tied to the tree, on which he entered the city. Residents of Jerusalem, who learned about the resurrection miracle of Lazarus, enthusiastically welcomed the Savior with palm branches, called "Vaia", and a laudatory song. On the road, on which Jesus was driving, people threw palm branches and drove their clothes. In memory of this event in christian temples On the day of the holiday, it is customary to consecrate the decorated branches of the trees. The Russians, the Palm Branch was taken by the Verba, and a week before the holiday began to call "Verbnaya", "Verbnitsa".

The ideas about the unusual properties of the Willow, however, are rooted in pre-Christian, pagan times. This plant, like birch, was associated with the idea of \u200b\u200brapid growth, health, vitality, fertility. These ideas are based on the fact that the willow before other plants dissolves its kidneys. The bloomed tree symbolized the upcoming spring and, according to mythological consciousness, could pass the health, strength and beauty to man and pets.

The willow was quite widely used in the calendar rites of Russian peasants. Despite the fact that Palmous Sunday was a church holiday, on this day there were numerous rites with the Verba, which are based on the archaic beliefs. It was customary to go to the forest to the forest before sunrise in Lazarev Saturday, on the eve of Palm Sunday. Brought twigs often immediately decorated with paper flowers and ribbons, but sometimes they did only after their sanctification or on the eve of Easter. Sitting the willow went to church on the same day for the evening service or in the morning on Sunday. Sanctified branches put in the front corner on the divine or put for the icons, where they were kept to Egoryev of the day or the whole year. In Siberia for willow, they did from the straw "Teremok", decorated with rags, ribbons and hung before the icon.

At the coming home after the consecration of the Willow, and sometimes right near the church it hit each of the households, and most often the children were considered "for health." At the same time, they sentenced: "Verba Krasnova, Bay to tears, be healthy!", - Or: "I'm not going - the willow beats, the Verba Hest beats to tears." In many locations, with the same purpose they were whipped with a cattle by the roller or gave to eat a branch or kidney of the plant.

In the Central Russian strip, so that the sheep "were found", they fed them with a special punishment or loaves, in which the kidney of the Willow baked. In some places, the shape of the kidneys was given to a ritual liver, which in Lazarev Saturday brought to the church to consecrate together with the Verba Cookies. In the Kostroma province, it was called "lamb", in Moscow - "lamb", "Babashiki" or "Akatushki", in Ryazan - "nuts", "Kytytka". Cookies baked in the number of cattle and birds, and in some local traditions - and for all households. On Ryazanchin, the feed of the sheep in the Palm Sunday biscuits, they believed that they would bring a pair of the lambs each, and the holiday himself was called "Yagnyychim".

Consecrated branches everywhere in Russians put and still put in a red corner next to icons. Previously, the willow stored before Egorov Day or all year. Throwing it after whipping the cattle was considered a sin. Usually these branches stuck in the roof in the roof, "so that the cattle is not wandering," or threw in the river, "Punching water"; Sometimes - burned in the oven. Belorus Veda was kept all year after icons to the new passionate Monday. On the same day, it was burned and the images set a new consecrated willow. When moving B. new house Part of the Verba branches left in the old house, and half were transferred to the new one.

In Egoryev, the day in many localities, the Verba hit every cattle during the ceremony of the first pasture on Palau, and after being missed it, considering it that these actions would provide a good selection and secure from wild animals throughout the season of Padiba. Similarly, in the day of the Nikola of Excellen, on this day and especially when the horses were pastured in the night, first in the season, they were stealing with recruit branches.

On Ivan Ivanovka on Volyn and in a podol, the village or the Verba branch was used as a festive attribute: girls decorated the plant with flowers and drove around him a dance, and after a while the guys rushed into the girl's virgin, captured the willow and ruptured her. This rite in its value is close to numerous agricultural rituals of the East Slavonic tradition using stuffed from plant material, and its goal is to affect the forces of nature, in order to be a crop.

As you can understand from the above examples, the magic functions were attributed to the Verba in the folk consciousness. Special force ended with verbal branches, consecrated in Palm Sunday. The production properties of the plant are apparent from the magic importance of sentences that have pronounced with the tange of children: "grow like a willow!", "As a dressing grows, so you grow!" In some areas, fruitless women ate the kidney of the sanctified willow in the hope that it will help them give birth to a child. Books stuck the verb branches around the apiary so that the bees would be good to swallow, there would be more bee families, and they would bring the owner of honey and wax in abundance.

In the Penza province, there was a rite of appealing of violence, in which the appointment of a positive value is obvious. At midnight, the on the eve of the Palm Resurrection, young people went around at home where newlyweds lived, and near the gate shouted:
"From, on-site, young, the guy beat, the health is more former to endure." The young spiral gate, and the crowd came from the song: "There would be a crop of bread, livestock multiplication." All sleeping in the hut slightly hit the Verba, saying: "Bey, to be healthy," and also: "Get up early, Bay Baran." The latter was stalled by the young when she bowed, accomplishing the singing youth for the gate.

The producing willow force was used directly in agricultural rites. So, after the first breakback of livestock, the twigs could break and scatter them along the field, and the kidneys to open in grain, intended for sowing. On the Smolenc region, a part of the willow brought after the pasting of livestock was sticking to the ground on the Breadfield - "So that the Earth quickly came to life", "so that rye is well humbled and growing fluffy like the willow"; The other part was hidden for the icon - "So that the cattle was returned home." Here the hostess of the rod who traveled the cattle, threw in the shower in the manure; At the same time, she jumped as usual as possible, "to yields Len." In some places, the Willow branches stuck at the four corners of the field for the Oberega of Sowing.
