Do's and Don'ts on Baptism
Basically, the bans on January 19 are associated with the energy or sanctity of the surrounding space. Humans should take care of it, respecting the unusual state of the universe. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to swear and quarrel. Yes, and bad thoughts from the head should be driven away with a "filthy broom." Any negativity kills the purity of the surrounding space, violates harmony. And this is a great sin.
It is still not recommended to dilute the water consecrated in the Temple. The clergy say that it is also bad to store baptismal water in large quantities. From popular beliefs it is known that before the holiday it is forbidden to take anything out of the house, to lend. This leads the family to poverty this year. And, of course, it is forbidden to wash on this day. After all, the water is holy. By contaminating it, a person commits sacrilege.
What can and should be done:
- swim in open water;
- observe fasting, to whom health allows;
- stock up on holy water (not much);
- to sprinkle it on the whole house in order to drive out evil spirits;
- hang crosses over the door and windows, this drives away evil forces;
- attend a service in the Temple.
Maidens and widows were recommended in the morning, as the heavens open, to wash themselves with the snow that fell that day. And the most impatient, not satisfied with this, rubbed the whole body with icy grains. People believed that such a ceremony pushed the female sex to marriage, gave beauty, health and fertility.
They also say that if the hostess begins to count the tablecloths, then she will have many kind guests this year. But, the last sign is fulfilled at will. Do not like to greet acquaintances, do not wind up tablecloths!
To avoid ailments all year round and to have health, you need to plunge into the ice hole three times on this day. Each time read "Our Father", then dive. But this is done not in a swimsuit, as is customary today, but in a shirt. After that, it should be dried (not washed) and stored. As soon as the state of health begins to fail, they put on that shirt. She returned a good state of mind and body.
There are also special rituals for well-being and money. The easiest one is to welcome people all day, smile, treat, say nice things. The more joy others get from you, the happier the year will be. And, of course, do not forget to pray to your Angel for prosperity.
