Signs for Easter 2018
There are also a little creepy omens, for example, the people believed that on the night before the holy holiday you can see a deceased relative. To do this, you need to hide in the church at the time of the procession so that no one can see, and do not forget to take a passionate candle with you. It is believed that on Easter, the gates of paradise are always open, and therefore many elderly people would not mind wishing death on this day, no matter how strange it may sound, but it is so. Christians have always believed that all Easter food has miraculous and healing properties. So, people who loved to practice fortune-telling and witchcraft, always kept the shell from Easter eggs, so that later they could use it in fortune-telling. On the night before Easter, all the food was safely hidden so that the mice would not get to it. The people believed that if a mouse eats Easter food, then it will turn into a bat.
To make their skin color rosy, the girls washed themselves with water, in which they had previously painted eggs, and to be strong they stood on an ax. On Easter, it was customary not to pick up salt so that your hands would not sweat in the future. When Easter day came and everyone sat down at the table, the Easter egg, which was necessarily consecrated in the church, was peeled and divided by the number of family members. It was believed that this contributes to strengthening, well-being, and peace in the family. And finally, a little about the weather: on Easter day, a clear sky and a playful sun - to a good harvest; rain is good rye!
Easter 2018 - Great holiday
On Easter, believers go to church to glorify and thank God for the sacrifice on the cross of Calvary. Bells are ringing everywhere, crusades are held, lamps and candles are lit. Orthodox Christians go to church to consecrate Easter cakes and wish health to each other, greeting them with exclamations: "Christ is Risen!" Also, each housewife thinks in advance so as not to stand at the stove on these holidays, when it is impossible to work.
But what does the Easter holiday actually mean and where did the history of this holiday begin? Every believer believes that he is celebrating correctly, without even understanding where this Great Feast originates from.
Book of Exodus or the story of Easter
The Easter holiday is rooted in the depths of the Old Testament. In order to understand this, you need to refer to the Holy Scriptures, and specifically to the book called "Exodus". This book, written by the prophet Moses, tells about the Jewish people who were in bondage to the Egyptians.
The Jewish people endured great torment and oppression from the Egyptians. Despite this, they hoped for the mercy of God and always remembered the covenant given to them and the promised land. God chose Moses to fulfill His purpose. Moses was tongue-tied and the Lord sent Aaron, his brother, to help him. They came to Pharaoh and asked to let the people go in order to serve the Lord. But, Pharaoh's heart was hard-hearted, and he did not want to let the slaves go to serve God and go to their land.
The Lord showed great miracles and sent 10 different executions to the Egyptians. But the Egyptian pharaoh persisted and did not want to let the Israelites go.
Then God commanded the Israelites to slaughter one year-old male lamb for each family without blemish. They should anoint the door frames of houses with the blood of an animal. At night, an angel of God passed through Egypt and killed all the first-born, but did not touch the Jewish houses. Pharaoh was in great fear, expelled the Israelites from Egypt. But when the Jews approached the shores of the Red Sea, he chased after his slaves and wanted to take revenge on them.
But God is Almighty, for Him nothing is impossible. He opened the waters of the sea, and the Jews went over the sea as over land, and the Pharaoh with his army was sunk. In honor of this event, the Lord commanded the Jews as liberation from the Egyptian captivity.
Sacrifice of Christ or new story Easter
The origin and origin of the Easter holiday does not end there.
2,000 years ago, the baby Jesus, the Savior of mankind, was born in the land of Israel. Christ was born of the Virgin Mary and lived in the house of the carpenter Joseph. Until the age of 30, Jesus did not perform any miracle.
He was God and Man, since he was born from the woman Mary, who conceived by the Holy Spirit. When Jesus was fasting in the wilderness, the devil came to Him and began to tempt Him. Christ ordered the devil to depart from Him, and he departed for a time.
He taught the people, healed, cast out demons from possessed people and performed great miracles. After 3 years, he was betrayed by Judas and crucified on Mount Calvary on Friday. Christ celebrated the Last Supper with his disciples. When the disciples gathered, Jesus took the bread, blessed and said: eat this is my body.
Easter eggs, fragrant cakes, church services, all this awaits us on Easter 2017. Read more about the numbers, signs, rituals and history of this holiday later in the article.
On Easter, the whole baptized world celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is why the traditional Easter greeting "Christ is Risen!" The history of the holiday, according to historians, goes back to Ancient Egypt.
The name of the holiday comes from the Hebrew verb "Pesach", which means "to go over". This refers to the exodus of the Jews from Egypt under the leadership of Moses. To protect their children from the tenth execution, on the last night in all the houses where the children were, the crossbars of the doors were smeared with the blood of lambs. The lamb itself had to be eaten without breaking bones. This sacrifice has become a symbol of the Jewish Passover.
According to the Bible, the Last Supper was held on Easter. Instead of the lamb, which is described in "Exodus" Jesus sacrificed himself "Passover of the new Lamb, slain for the purification of people once and for all." Three days after the crucifixion, Jesus was resurrected and it is this event that is celebrated every year.
