What does Good Friday before the Great Day mean for us: say, perform rituals, add prayers. Friday is special, prayers on this day are especially significant.
PRAYERS FOR GOOD FRIDAY. Holy Friday is the most dramatic day of Lent. According to the biblical account, as presented in the Gospel, the day was spent on the cross of Jesus Christ, after which it was buried in the oven. The dramatic story that has been going on for so many years is due to the fact that in order to solve the riddle about it, Christians on this day during Lent impose on themselves a burden of restraint, so that they will suffer from their same behavior. On Good Friday, it is punishable to follow various traditions and perform singing rituals. On Good Friday, it is recommended to take full precautions against hedgehogs, as there are no common medical contraindications. Also, due to the possibility, it is not possible to withdraw respect to the robot. Spend the whole day in prayer and devote every free hour to thinking about the great feat of Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for the forgiveness of all people. On Good Friday you can read prayers in different directions. It is not at all obligatory to take these texts from the Bible. It is important that the stench comes out from the depths of the soul and remains wide. PRAYER FOR THE PURPOSE OF SOULS. The prayer for the salvation of the soul is short and should be read most often on Good Friday. It sounds like this: “Oh, Jesus Christ, our God, save and have mercy on our souls through the Holy Church, pray for us, do not let us burn in hell fire. Oh, Jesus Christ, our God, have mercy on us poor sinners. About Jesus Christ, our God, bless my father, my mother, my relatives, for whom I deeply pray. About Jesus Christ, our God, and all that I can pray, help us pass through purgatory and bring our souls to heavenly peace. Amen" PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS OF SINS. The prayer for forgiveness of sins on Good Friday is especially powerful. It allows you to pay for all the sins that have occurred through ignorance, but for which it is important to pray with broad faith in your soul. As an option, you can quickly find out the following prayer text: “Lord Almighty, feel me, the servant of God (in His power) forgive me my sins, for I deeply repent of them. Let me practice diligently and lead a righteous life in accordance with Your commandments. Grant me the ability to offer You prayers, be kind in word and deed towards others. Teach me how to get rid of the bullshit, so as not to harm anything or harm anyone. I ask you to give vibration for the sake of it. Amen" PRAYER ABOUT THE PROTECTION OF VOROGIV. Insanely, skinned people on earth raise enemies. On Good Friday, read the next prayer for protection from unkind people: “In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Behind the orders, Tsar Herod fights mercilessly, fights mercilessly, sheds blood in vain, harms no one, forgives no one. But I, the servant of God, know one thing, that against unkind people there is a strong and reliable, great sagittarius - the almighty God the Father! Our son Jesus Christ, who gave his life for the happiness of people, has a bow in the bright Sun, an arrow in a clear month. If I should shoot at him, the just Lord will not allow anyone to imitate me. I know that my great God will always be on my path ahead, Holy Mother of God behind. Because of the strong heavenly protection, I am not afraid of anyone and I am not afraid of anyone. And to my enemies, to the evil spirits, the spokes of evil are in the tongues of evil; Amen” PRAYER TO AVOID sorrow for your sins. At the preferences of P'yatyatnitsky Obov'yazkovo, read a prayer, in Yaki vihi the sorceress for prospecting power Grihi: I can be scorched by the prayer for the prayer text: “I am at a heart disease, God miy, the father of God (power omens) forgiveness of all my sins.

I will pray until I understand and show my love for this broad prayer, from the depths of my soul, which comes out. I ask You, Lord, for the sake of my Son Jesus Christ, who died and rose again for the sake of a happy life for all people, to make me aware of all my sins, knowledge of the unknown, I will punish the cows in the kingdom or through the unknown. Almighty Father, I know that through my sins I have given the image to all the Great Powers, and also created a wealth of good people on earth.

It is very important for him to read a prayer about unity on Good Friday. It sounds like this: “Great and Almighty Heavenly Father, hear the prayer of the servant of God (in power) on this holy day. I ask You, Lord, to send the Holy Spirit to earth so that all people can be united. Help us in every way, Almighty, to forget all past inconveniences, to eliminate all debts and, regardless of religious matters, to understand and study one another. Teach us, Lord, to work together for the benefit of a prosperous marriage. Let us not get into trouble with our nationality and race. Allow us to transform our light into a light one. The One, Almighty Lord, especially all of us Christians. Do this so that we become one, like those companions of Jesus Christ who gathered together with him at the Lord’s Supper. I ask just one thing, so that we can work diligently, pray broadly, and live happily at the same time with love and light. Amen"
As the Gospel confirms, on the Friday before the Jewish High Day, Jesus Christ was put on trial and baptized on the cross. For believers this is an hour of intense fasting and sorrow.
In 2020, Good Friday falls on the 17th week. Due to tradition, no work can be completed at this time. Spend the whole day in prayer and thought about the great feat of Christ.

“On the Cross of sacrifice for us, Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten of God the Father Sin, mercy, love and generosity are incomparable to the abyss! Because of my sins, for the sake of my incredible love of mankind, Thy Blood was shed on the Holy Cross, even though I am unworthy and worthless, I have trampled upon my filthy deeds and have nothing to do with me. Tim, from the depths of lawlessness and impurity, my intelligent eyes looked at the Redeemer Crucified to You on the Cross, looking with humility and faith into the depths of the expressions of Your mercy, I throw to myself, forgiveness of sins and the correction of a filthy life. Be merciful to me, Lord and Judge of mine, do not throw me away from Thy face, but by Thy all-powerful hand Thyself are beasts before You and instruct me on the paths of true repentance, let me not now leave the beginning of my salvation. By Your divine sufferings, take away my bodily passions; By shedding Your Blood, cleanse my spiritual filth; Receive thy tributes from light and greed; With Your Cross, protect me from invisible enemies that would trap my soul. With Thy pierced hands, wipe away all that is displeasing to Thy. Filling my body, infusing my body with Thy fear, let me not shrink from evil, I do good before You. Having buried Your head on the Cross, my pride sank to the ground in humility; With the crown of your thorns, my garden has a little bit of cinnamon; the zhovch is delicious with its leaves, the luggage is preserved by my unclean mouth; Make a hole in your heart with a copy, create a pure heart in me; With all Your expressions, I am so sweet in Your love, I love You, my Lord, with all my soul, with all my heart, with all my strength and with all my heart. Let me be wondrous and impossible, and let my head soften; grant me all the goodness that relieves my soul in death; give me the All-Sweetheart, who will comfort me in sorrows and misfortunes with Your love, and His first hatreds, rots, persecutions and nails to the Cross, which I will love, joyfully accept and the licorice of His Cross until the end of my life . Do not let me, O all-merciful Savior, act upon my sole will, no evil is necessary, so that I do not fall into the grievous task of the sin that reigns among me; Alas, Your will is good, I want to tell you, let it appear in me forever, which I entrust to You, my Crucified Lord, with the reasonable eye of my heart I manifest goodness from the depths of my soul, and from my separation from the grave body, you alone on Thy Cross I pray, in my hands I accept His deception, and in the face of the rising spirits of malice I take care, dwelling with sinners who have pleased You in their repentance. Amen."

I cannot bear it any more, I will cry out to my tongues, and they will glorify Me with the Father and the Spirit: and I will grant to them eternal life.”
Translation:
Why should the Lord say to the Jews: “My people, what have I done to you, and why have I annoyed you? I have made your blind ones sighted; having cleansed the lepers; the person who was lying on the bed, having woken up. My people, what I have earned from you and paid Me with: for the manna, for the water; In vengeance of love you beat me to the bone.

The day has dawned on You, the Immaculate Virgin on the cross, Words, presented, giving birth to the mother's womb, attacked by the heart of the mountain, and painfully groaning from the depths of the soul, denouncing the tormenting power; At the same time, my heart was beating, howling pitifully: sorry for Me, the Divine Child, sorry for Me, the Light of the World; What did You see before My eyes, Lamb of God?

Great Good Friday is in the afternoon, if it is necessary to remember about Jesus Christ and His torment, because on the very day of the Rose of the Cross. Good Friday itself is considered a day of sorrow. Good Friday in 2018 falls on the 6th quarter. To find out the answer to that tragic story, people are trying to figure out their own behavior.

On Good Friday, it is strictly forbidden to have fun and spend an hour in gallant company, because all believers behave modestly. In a different situation, life may become such that you will have to argue throughout the coming period.

Prayer for Holy Friday: prayers that need to be read
On Good Friday, at the church service, read 12 parts of the Gospel dedicated to the torment of Christ. The words of these prayers also show the torment and suffering of Christ.

About Jesus, bless my father, my mother, my brothers and sisters, and everything that I can pray for. O Jesus, have mercy on the souls in purgatory and bring them to your heavenly peace.

Father, not only did I bring you to justice for my sins, but I also brought to your mercy here on earth. I promise to show the great love before susida, so that my sins can be forgiven.

Advice of Holy Week. What is the most important thing for a Christian today? How to conduct them so that you can stay well? With these foods we are dying for our shepherds.
– During Holy Week, you need to try to attend all services in order to feel and remember all those that are read and sung at the church.
, Rector of the Russian Orthodox University:
– And the Bright Week, when we reunite, reveals a unique spiritual potential, which, being removed from a small world, can be changed by any human being. Divine services, the traditions of spiritual life on these special days of the church calendar bring the Christian to the most important thing in his life - the secret chambers of Salvation and Eternal Life.
Those who have not fasted, and now, the rest of the year, having decided to prepare for the Holy Great Day, we are flying with joy. The Lord has prepared a rich meal and looks upon each one with love. If the people did not fast, or fasted badly, they did not dare to prepare for the Holy Resurrection of Christ during Holy Week and take communion on the bright day of the Great Day.
It is unfortunate that some of those who have not fasted during Great Lent or fasted, in my opinion, are not trying hard enough, think about what they can expect from sitting on the water and bread during Holy Week - then the entire fast will be “read out.” Chi tse is correct. You can’t go to fasting before going to bed or going to the gym, if the rich people have to go out at night and study everything and write down a good grade. Spiritual life has different rules and laws; there is no need to “punish” anyone. Open your heart to the Lord and join the Christians in fasting. As with the continuation of this Great Lent, so in the Holy Week, fasting is obliged to be respectful and gentle for the skin.
If anyone has not been able to make peaceable preparations with the Church before the Great Day, then do not be disappointed by our deep joy about the Resurrection of the Lord. Christ waits and receives from his body the skin who requires Him.
– great and holy days – have the power to take us away from the everyday chaos and completely immerse us in the environment of the Great Purity. It is not at all easy to prepare to live with the Church these days at the same time. It’s not easy, although it’s easy and obvious. They cried out to all the Holy Ones to their souls, awakening them. We cleansed ourselves internally with prayer. Varto, having completed the walks of Great Lent, it is even better to take a look at yourself, gather, concentrate and turn God-mindedness to your companion for this hour. Here we are preparing to deal with all sorts of problems, which, as a rule, are urgently addressed in the Divine Life, and we need all the strength and reason, and soul, so as not to feel bitterness at the wrong time. On Holy Days, impartiality will help us. Don't give in to unnecessary worries. We can’t save ourselves from spooks. Whose life is no big deal for living through life Holy Letter, the signs of our salvation - the Last Supper, the judgment, the crucifixion, the Cross of Christ. But the tears in our eyes are not a sign of a wealthy soul, but a sign of deep love, compassion and broad Christian sentiment. Having lived through the Holy Day to the end, without wasting time, we are focused on the Great Day of the Lord in spiritual triumph, and not in hysterical pranks, as one might say from time to time. It is not our rich discord that ultimately ends, but the joy of Sunday and our victory over death and sin.
– I remember that when Mel Gibson’s film “The Passion of the Christ” was on the screen, rich people, especially non-church people, fought a great battle. One of my acquaintances marveled at this picture in the cinema, and then realized that the young people, who had previously prepared popcorn and carnage before the show, so that they could spend an hour pleasantly, until the very end of the film they could not stop crying . All the hooked little girls sat for the entire session. Apparently I’m coming to faith, the baptism of people after watching this film. There were a lot of outbursts when people, who had committed a lot of crimes and faced punishment, repented and came to surrender to the hands of justice. This is how they were attacked in the spirit of the Horrible Cruelty described in the picture. The stench informed us: what a terrible sacrifice was made for us and how great was the suffering of Christ. Ale Gibson, as a Catholic, obviously put a major emphasis on the human suffering of the Savior. This caused the peculiarity of the Catholic doctrine of “compassio” to fade away. Experiences in the place with Christ This is the torment of the People. And this is why the church’s mysticism is more naturalistic and realistic. Sweat, blood, the tormented flesh of the Lord in the film is presented in a very real way. We Orthodox Christians have been given much more. If you are a believer who prays at the services of the Holy Day, you will know a much greater shock and experience even after watching “The Passion of the Christ.” And the experience will be of a completely different spiritual nature. It has been given to us to reveal and enhance the greatness of the Sacrifice. It’s not just a feeling of beaten and crucified people that appears in our hearts, but a sacred awe of the Creator of the world, Who hangs from love before us on the cross. And, first of all, love and thanks to God who rose for us. “Here hang on a tree, Who hung the earth on the waters...” And in our Orthodox service, in our songs, the Sacrifice of Christ stands in all its majesty. And therefore, when on Good Friday after the sermon the paraphion comes to the shroud, the rich will have tears in their eyes.
Great value for the soul can be gained by performing divine services. The prayer for the sake of Judas, the Last Supper, the reading of the 12 Gospels, the lifting of the Shroud and the rite of burial - all these services fill the soul with special feelings, and praying for the divine services of a special life, with the special joy of the soul Yesh and the Great Day of Christ. Indeed, the entire holy period prepares us until the Divine Passion of Christ, but the Holy Day prepares us until the Holy Day, until the Great Day. At the hour of the Six Psalm, which is the sign of the night before Christmas, the lamps are extinguished, so that in the evening, silence and contemplative prayer will allow the Savior to come to the light: “God the Lord and appear to us!” So, before the Resurrection of Christ, the Church especially prays and prepares for the holy day.
On the day of the Holy Day, you need to practice more often, attend services more often, and also strengthen your special song feat.
Having repeatedly respected that Holy Day is a time of special peace, you should be especially respectful of your soul, so as not to harm the entire fast. The one who fasts is obliged to be respectful and drunk like a wart on post, So that the spirits of medicine, evil, anger and welding are not allowed into the fire. I wish everyone strength, God’s help and strength to overcome this difficult life. May God grant you to live until the Great Day!
- The Great Lent will end, and the Holy Church will descend upon us, saying: “You have celebrated the Lent of Lent with goodness, and we ask for the holy day of Your passion, O Lover of People.” And this call is for us the result of guessing about those that our special song feat was, first of all, the preparation of our soul and heart for the hidden imprisonment in the midst of a terrible life, if for our sake and for our salvation there are great secret The peace of the human race in the face of the power of death and the terrible slavery of the devil.
Today, before our eyes, the spiritual field of Christianity is rapidly resounding, and we are all aware of our neighbors and the wiser of the same hunger and the tightness of the Lord’s teachers, who have completely dissatisfied with their hopeless self. There are in the midst of darkness and sin that the world was in a panic after the godless death of the Savior. Those who happened 2000 years ago in Jerusalem are not history, but forever today. The Church has the power to work both visible and obvious.
And therefore, being with the Apostles in the Shrine of Zion, and in Gethsemane, and at the guardianship of Kajafi, and on Golgotha is not an easy fate for the divine services - it is our “passover” at the Great Day. For the Christian on the skin, this is the experience – “ yesterday I was buried in You, Christ” -є related participation in other fields – “I celebrate Your resurrection today,” entering with the mind into the joy of the Resurrection of Christ. On the Holy Day, all our life, our sense and our guilty heart will be here, without the Savior, in order with the harlot, in order with the disciples, or they have brought before Judas and that greedy ark. And we urge you not to let yourself feel the urge on this holy day and night with the inevitable pre-Easter prayers, preparing speeches, tidying up the house - with speeches that are so necessary, they rob the table and soul. Let us fence our house against the marsal tree, against the symbol of whose light - the TV tower, draw the curtains, open the eyes of our souls, and embrace them with tears. I care about you.”
The old generation of church people, who especially zealously valued all the everyday details of the Holy Days, invariably spent their time in such a manner as to settle all the headaches of household troubles in the first days of the Holy Day. Having completed the inevitable earthly turmoil, starting from the evening of the Great Midsummer, they began to approach the most important thing - the silent and sorrowful presence of the Cross of the Lord. What else can a Christian do, bachachi God, who is crucified. nothing on earth in itself… And I want this to be painful for my loving heart, but this is the torment of love, believe and hope, without which there is no Christian life... And so that we cannot bear love and holy pain from this day - we are filled with warm prayer and repentance Reading the Word of God, even though it’s cold our heart did not overcome the fire and light of the Eternal Magnificence of Christ.
– On the day of the end of Great Lent and on the eve of the special days of the Holy Day, it is important to ask: what can I learn from what the Church of Christ preaches for my peace and harmony?
It is important for the current Orthodox Christian to prepare himself for a special experience of all that will be dedicated to each day of this coming year. For the stripped fig tree, you need not to waste your time on Holy Monday to guess about the share of the barren fig tree, which fell near the fire, having nourished yourself about the fruits of your spiritual life. In the Great Second, we listen to the parables, through which the Savior defeated the scribes and Pharisees, in order to know for ourselves the correct path of spiritual life. In Great Sereda, together with his team, who washed the Savior’s feet with tears and precious light, we know the resolve of the disappointed heart and the words of Yudi, who, through an obvious turbot about marriages, revealed his love of money. Let us prepare with special reverence until the Day of the Last Supper - the Great To the Pure Four remembering that we take part in this Last Evening Supper in the Holy Sepulchre. The terrible Rite of Washing the Feet, when the bishop, becoming like the Savior, washes the feet of the priests, may we become infatuated with Christ’s love and kindness. At the evening, having lit the candles, we read aloud the words of the Passionary Readings of the Gospels, which describe the whole tragedy of the crucifixion of the Son of God. Turning home with your luscious candle, you can guess that Christians are calling out to the bright light that brightens the dark night. On Great Friday we sank before the Holy Shroud, and offer our prayers at the hour of Lamentation to the Mother of God, who gives the white trunion of her Divine Son. The Divine Service of Holy Saturday may not become for us the daily remembrance of the Resurrection of the Savior, which is now in the inferno.
I’ll say it again: it’s very important to understand for yourself, where am I in this story, what do I experience throughout my life? How ready am I to give up untruth and sin and become respectful before the triumph of the Risen Savior? If all of us are aware of having lived through these great and tragic days, then there will be a valid reason for spiritual joy: even Christ has truly risen! Having survived the situation with powerful sinful beginnings and aspirations, let us calm down the joy of liberation from sin and honor until the great and glorious Resurrection of Christ!
- the Church helps us to get closer to God, to get to the very essence of Christianity, to the secret places of life.
The essence of Christianity lies in this Week. The Passion of the Lord is the secret place of our salvation.
The dark place is for the one whose Cross and humility change the world the most. Cross - tse despite the world, it is impossible to overcome Peremoga.
The prison is for the one whose self-denial, our suffering for the sake of Christ is not deprived of suffering, but bears fruit.
Since we will be in the Church this day, we will be at the Cross of the Lord, then our soul will experience great sorrow. Look out for the suffering of the Savior. You will become different. Tsomu has the meta of the Holy Day.
It would be good for you to inform yourself at this time, do not go on the Internet, go to Orthodox sites, and try to live these days completely differently, no matter what the fate of today is, because the days of this year are absolutely special . Each of them is called Great by the Church: Great Monday, Great Tuesday... Great Saturday. All these days, beginning with the Sabbath of Lazarus, represent the remaining days of the Savior’s earthly life. The Church has no more days like this. It would be best to spend the entire day at the church, attending all services, or else go to the monastery for an hour. You won’t do anything better these days.
Therefore, even before the onset of Lent, it would be good to think about how best to organize your life during this great ritual hour of “general tidying up” of our soul. It is not for nothing that the Church prepares for the season before Lent, when the weekly Gospel readings are read, then the hymnal readings of the Holy Trinity begin, and then the Masnitsa with the Gospel readings of Holy Week, and then we enter into Lent. Best of all, after praying, try to take leave for the first and most difficult day - let's say, the last one (where it's browner, it's easier to lie on the beach: there the body is darkened, here the soul is enlightened). If you don’t see the chergovy, ask for a dirty kosht.
While there is a lot of fuss about pasok, pasok, prepared eggs, gifts for the holy day, pre-holy cleaning, church cleaning, then all this trouble will most likely end during the sixth week of fasting, so that people can go to services on Holy Day.
When near Moscow, on the Great Ordinza, at the temple where there is a miraculous icon of the Mother of God “The Joy of All Sorrows”, the honorary rector was Archbishop Cyprian (Zernov: 1911-1978; Kingdom of Heaven!) As the parishioners said am:
“If you want to miss one service of the Holy Week, the Lord will not accept your flocks.”
Services at churches will be held every Sunday and evening, and on Good Friday there will be three days a day.
During the first three days, several Gospels are read once at the river at the temples (the first three – all the time).
On Holy Fourth - the day of the Last Supper of the Savior with the teachings - all Orthodox Christians partake of communion (the same day of the Holy Day, if it is allowed to Oliya).
On Good Friday, the most sacred day of fate, the only day of the Holy Day, if the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts is not celebrated, we worship the Great Savior of the Lord, we dwell at His Cross with the Mother of God. and the Apostle John the Theologian. Lobising the Holy Shroud.
Great Saturday - this Great Day, when in Jerusalem there is a miracle of the descent of the Holy Fire onto the Holy Sepulcher - is not just a day of preparation before the Great Day, but a unique day of liturgical services, of rejoicings of great spiritual joy, even though the holy feast is still being consumed. As on Holy Thursday, on this day - the last time on the river - the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the Great is served. At the temples everything is stripped of black and transformed into white. During the Liturgy, the Gospel about the Resurrection of the Savior is read, although for our bodily view it still lies, body asleep, for dead. Ale Victory over the heat, over death has already overcome!
- “It is acceptable to the Holy Spirit” (Acts 15, 28), so that the soul, cleansed by repentance during the hour of Great Lent, will experience the Holy Spirit. Without whom it is impossible to reach the top of the spirit.
The feat of the God-man Jesus Christ extends to eternity. The mind and heart are once again amazed at the ability that the Church gives to not only guess about everything that happened during the remaining days of the Savior’s earthly life, but also become a participant. All church services, spanning the space and hour, take us to the place where everything happened.
Nothing is so beneficial to the soul as standing at the foot of the Lord’s Cross. Only people here truly understand with their minds and feel with their hearts the endless love of God. Here pure vows of devotion to the Lord are opened.
For today's people, who are burdened with a sad holiday, it is important to attend all church services of the Holy Day, otherwise you would need to attend one of them immediately. Without whom it is impossible to appreciate all the beauty and greatness of the Holy Majesty of Christ. It would be good at home at this hour to read the Passionate Gospel and Akathist to the Holy Divine Passion of Christ. And, of course, to complete the fast in that world of severity, which can be suffered by a person.
- Singing to Christ, His fate in sorrow and death is necessary in the mind of our great joy. It is true that as with all life, so it is with the future and the upcoming Bright Sunday. How can we become participants in Christ’s suffering and death? The Holy Church calls on us to spend every day in intense fasting and prayer, and this is the very thing that allows us to reach Christ.
Mortality thins the flesh and hardens the spiritual senses. On the first three days of Holy Week, the Church calls us to the final fast, however, on the fourth, for the sake of the Dark Supper, a short repose is allowed, but on Friday the morning is revealed to the riddle of the torment and the death of the Savior.
It is possible to have a sense of humility not only about the hedgehogs, but about everything that our carnal, old people want to live. We have heard so many speeches that we cannot imagine our life without them. We are not guarded by our inner lives, even as the Holy Fathers commanded an spontaneous struggle against sinful messages and feelings, based on prayer. We are not in control of our emotions, we say a lot of arrogant, we judge, we fight, or, on the contrary, we have fun without fading. We began to joke about all sorts of problems from TV to the Internet. All this brings us to another, spiritual reality, and from this we can and need to get rid of it if we want to celebrate Holy Week. And then in the silence that has settled, we can feel the voice of eternity that brings the soul, the voice of Christ.
During these days, the Church performs especially destructive, penetrating services: On the first three days, the Liturgy of the Consecrated Gifts is celebrated, on the fourth, on the riddle of the Last Supper and the institution of the Sacrament of Communion - to serve the Liturgy of St. Basil the Great, And 12 Gospel texts are read, dedicated. On Friday, on Friday, the taking of the Shroud takes place, and in the evening there is the rite of the Holy Worship. On Saturday - the day before Holy Sunday, the day when “let us not destroy all human flesh” - serve the Liturgy of Basil the Great. All these services help to focus on the stages of the Passionate Life, to experience them with the Lord.
But not everyone is able to go to church on this day. In any case, it is necessary to remember the events of these holy days and practice proper behavior. And in this there can be no work, no family obligations, because our meta is not about any ritual, but about honoring Christ.
If a loved one is suffering, we don’t need to be told about the need to fast, because things are in our throats, we don’t need to be told about the need to get rid of anger, because nothing can calm us down, we don’t need to be called to Ibranosti, because it’s the same thing, sorrow for a common people makes us alienated from this world.
In fact, we need just one thing - to be the Savior, and especially on this day, and for this we need to listen to our hearts, remember Christ, joke with Him, and pray to Him in prayer.
And the simplest of them: “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me!” - You can stay with us forever. This prayer can be said in the Duma regardless of the situation at the time. Golovne, so that the words of the prayer are joined with our deep, repentant prayers to God, and bear witness to our devotion to being with Christ. And on this occasion, the Lord gave a powerful message, giving us at least a part of His sorrow, so that we could then know the fullness of Easter joy.
– For a Christian, the firebrand is Christ. For any Christian, for any day, for any situation.
Ale our Rukh to New Year is different for different days, for different circumstances, and especially for different people. It is really unreasonable and downright unsafe to impose on people those recipes of practical behavior that are not prescribed for them: the same things happen when illness and uncertainty are shared with each other.
That’s why I rely on your food with just one everyday picture: you can easily recognize it. I myself, if I fit into such a picture, would be happy if they gave me such joy: scratch and wash.
Try to keep the flow and communication of your contacts with your contacts to a minimum. Necessary household chores - as a rule, it means tidying up the house - do everything at once, but without extreme scrupulousness. Show your special spirit on the culinary front... Be one with one, people and friends, fathers and children, if you don’t need any kind words. Let your prayer grow from your prayers and your love rises to God, who is Risen.
- The one for which the Great Lent has prepared us for the holy feast day. These are the clues and experiences of the remaining days of the earthly life of the Savior to the light of our Lord Jesus Christ. All days are called great. On Monday there is a judgment on the fig tree, its curse, it’s a wonder that it foretells about the coming Last Judgment, when the righteous will be vindicated and the damned souls will not bear spiritual fruit. Second - the Pharisees' criticism of hypocrisy. Seredovishche is Yudi’s zrada. Four - the date of the Last Supper, when the Sacrament of the Eucharist - Communion - was established; evening reading at the Church of the Passionate Gospels. Friday - the death of the God-man on the Cross, the taking of the Shroud and the rite of burial of the Savior. Saturday is a riddle about the descent into hell and Christ’s victory over him. The character of this day is expressed in the words: “Don’t bother every human body and don’t think of anything vain in yourself.”
During Holy Week, it is important to attend all the services in the middle and spend this hour as reverently as possible. Listening to Christ with heartfelt faith and love in church services, we will be with Him!
- We first need to try to understand what Bright Week means especially for each of us. To earn money, you need to evaluate the practical significance of these days. Most often, we are not aware of those that in fasting with the saint, the most important for us is either the gastronomic aspect (collection of fresh products), or the ritual-domestic one (baking paskas, preparing eggs, cleaning, applying crosses to iptyavu candle) . And the powerful, ascetic and liturgical place is most often deprived of our respect. Ale tse i є nagolovnіshe. In fact, you can sometimes allow yourself to forget about gastronomic and ritual meals and concentrate on the main thing. How can you earn money?
The Resurrection of Christ is deprived of holiness. With our sins, coming up to the Holy Great Day, it is impossible to think about the anniversary. You can experience your worthlessness and worthlessness even more deeply. Most of my experience and the least amount of repentance has passed since the Feast Day. Otherwise, we prayed: “Lord, grant me to see my sins...” and “Repentance leave my door...”? Here, in the depths of the experienced misery, great joy is born. And without our awareness of the powerful worthlessness, we can reveal to us the meaning of the Passionate Life. For the Holy Week bears witness to the Church about the most voluntary self-destruction of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, with whom we are to blame in prison in this day. Humble and humble ourselves, behind the image of our Savior, lies our destiny.
The holy and bright day is the entire liturgical icon of our salvation. The most practical thing for every person today is to display this icon in your heart and save it there, making it the main paradigm of your life. To what extent does the Church itself cry out for this day of the skin of the baptized people! Let us remember the words of the Apostle Paul:
“...all of us who were baptized by Christ Jesus were baptized for His death. Father, we boasted with Him of those who were baptized to death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too should walk in a new life. Since we are united with Him by the likeness of Yogo’s death, then we may be [connected] and [likewise] by the resurrection, knowing that our old people are in love with Him, so that the body of the sinner is cut off, so that we will not be again slaves of sin..." (Rom. 6:3-6).
The prayer of Christ's death and baptism with Him does not end with the sacrament of baptism. This is troubling in everyday life and especially in the wake of experiencing the Holy and Light Life. That is why, long ago, it was woven into the liturgy of Holy Week. So, as the saying goes, as a person is baptized in childhood, she still does not lose the ability to prayerfully experience the Sacrament of entry into the Church.
Now we have the opportunity to turn around, rethink our entire spiritual life and live the Passion Day and Great Day the way we would have wanted to spend the days of our Lordship.
And what rituals and signs accompany this day, read our article.

Our son Jesus Christ, who gave his life for the happiness of people, has a bow in the bright Sun, an arrow in a clear month. If I should shoot at him, the just Lord will not allow anyone to imitate me. I know that in all my faith, my broad God will always be on my path in front, the Most Holy Theotokos behind.

I ask for the help and encouragement of the Holy Spirit to show me the right way of life to serve others. Amen"

Another sign on Good Friday - on this day, after the church service, 12 candles were brought to the house, and they tried to carry them so that the fire would not go out.
