Before Easter, many believers have a question when, from what time there are painted eggs and cakes shine? From which hour, how many and how many can you come to the temple to do this?

By tradition, the church must come to the Great Saturday. This year it can be done on April 7, 2018.

When the churches are beginning to sanctify cakes

When, how much and to which the hours consecrate the cakes - depends on each church. But, as a rule, the rite of consecration of food is carried out throughout the entire Saturday day - in the morning and to night. Then the festive Easter service and the procession begins in the temple.

It is possible to consecrate the food at the beginning of a festive worship, and then the rite of sanctification is not carried out. The great consecration of Easter cakes begins at night, at the end of the Divine Liturgy - about 3 o'clock in the morning.

Put in the Easter food basket of food as much as you can eat - because the sanctified products can not be thrown away. Culich, painted eggs, some meat and cheese. It will not be superfluous to sanctify salt and spices. But wine and other alcoholic beverages are better left at home.

When the cakes are shine on Saturday - to which the hour

In addition to the great consecration, there is still consecration of kulichs and other Easter food on Saturday. The solemn rite begins after the liturgy of the Great Saturday.

In each temple, several of their traditions, which also change the year at the same time. Therefore, it will be appropriate to call the Temple on the Temple and politely ask the guard or at the minister, how much and to which Kulichi is sanctified on Saturday.

So, in the temple, where many employees of priests are sanctified almost constantly (in a passionate Saturday from 11-00 to 23-00 hours). And it happens, somewhere there is no such possibility, because the father and singers have to relax and prepare for the night festive service on Sunday and to a cross-head.

Does it be sure to sate a cake for Easter: the opinion of the Church

And it will not be superfluous to make mercy, as if you can allow it to afford, and treat the eggs and silences of all needy. Many may argue that cakes and eggs that shine in the holy place will ease the people are unclean.

However, it is not necessary to worry here - every person himself decides how to do. And if someone comes to the church for the sake of the curmonary, sin falls on his conscience.

The priests are confident that the consecration of food is a natural desire of a person, and even more so if it comes to the most important holiday of Christians - Easter. Here, for example, the opinion of the Archpriest Maxim is Promozvsky.

What can not be done in the Great Saturday before Easter

Well penetrate the atmosphere of the Great Saturday, learn a brief story, which lies in the traditions of this day, and what he means. Then it becomes clear what exactly should not be done in such a dramatic clock.

First of all, this is a day in which you need to try to restrain all the earthly passions. It is unacceptable to swear, all the more foul language and in general to annoy. So, all the clarification of the relationship is better to leave for later. After all, Easter is coming, and it's time to adjust on the bright waves of the holiday.

If possible, it is better not to devote time to fun parties, transfer the celebration of any dates. It is undesirable to do homework, hard work. It is better to plan your time so as to fulfill routine responsibilities before the sorrowful hour.

Of course, you do not need to laugh, you are unrestrained to have fun on Saturday before Easter. After all, we would probably not do this in the days of memory about our close. And if we are talking about the fact that a good half of humanity recalls the suffering and death of Jesus Christ, it is clear that it only increases our responsibility.

What can be done on Saturday after a passionate Friday

Because we are talking about the fact that on this day believers especially remember Christ, it is important to pay enough attention to their spiritual life. It will be correct to visit the church worship, which begins from early morning and continues throughout the day. And in the evening it moves to the vigil, and then the bright resurrection comes.

And the people of Saturday is also called beautiful (or red), since the hostesses are completing the latest preparations for light Easter. In the house there are eggs, baked cakes, bake bezhenin. Although traditionally it is customary to finish all the homework in a clean Thursday (to get out in the house, wash), the church does not prohibit business and on Saturday.

Of course, on such a day you can read the Bible, to create prayers, to make good deeds, help the needy. Here you can focus on your inner voice. Perhaps someone has long needed your attention - then you should visit a person and to help him.

Replies Archpriest Andrei Efanov:

Before Easter, it is impossible to ignore those great events that the church remembers these days: a secret evening, betrayal, court, crucifixion and burial of Jesus Christ.

According to the charter on Friday before Easter, it is impossible to eat at least before the removal of the shroud (usually the vein vessel is served at 14.00) or even all day. But the health and circumstances of life allow you to make such a lean exploits not all. Therefore, to enhance your post as possible, the main thing in Good Friday does not pass by those terrible events, which accomplished on this day two thousand years ago.

Before Easter, it is impossible to prefer prayer and reading the holy writing of entertainment, entertainment activities, empty pastime or excessive daily bustle. Of course, it is impossible to leave all things and worries, but you need to try to visit, if not all, then at least some worship of the passionate weeks who are committed only once a year.

Reader question:

At Easter there is no post and finally there are no restrictions, but there is something that can not be done for Easter? Some say that it is impossible to work for Easter. I know that it is impossible to swear on Easter with loved ones. What is still categorically impossible to do on Easter day and why?

And earlier, we had free buses from the Metro to the cemetery. And recently I heard that it turns out that it is impossible to walk on Easter on the cemetery? Why?

What can not be done for Easter and why?

The Apostle Paul says: "Everything is permissible to me, but not everything is useful." And the truth, Easter comes - the post ends, ends our long spiritual doing. But does this mean that we should immediately relax? Not. We must carry the lessons and purchase of the post in life. In the post, we learned to be more tolerant and less angry with loved ones, so really the most joyful Easter period we will darken with quarrels and swearing with them? In the post, we learned to be abstained in food and entertainment, so really you need to jeighten and get enough to bad well-being, and have fun - through the edge, until you fall?

For Easter, you can not know the measures. Otherwise, all our acquisitions and Easter joy will squander on the first day of the holiday. (However, you always need to know.)

As for the question, it is possible or can not work for Easter, then, of course, this day itself and the entire subsequent week is good to devote the joy about the Sunday Christ, to be in the temple, where these days there are special very beautiful worship services, congratulate friends and loved ones, but We all have daily concerns. It can not throw their affairs doctor ambulance or subway driver. At Easter, you can not forget about the great joy, which is filled with all around these days.

It is necessary to spend it in the temple, meeting the resurrected Christ, and for the commemoration of the dead closest church in the Easter period, a special day was installed - Radonitsa. Radonitsa falls on the second after Easter Tuesday.

At the Easter week, memories are not performed. If someone dies and the funeral comes to a light week, the funeral is made by special Easter rank. On the day of Easter Eggs does not happen.

Tradition to visit cemeteries at Easter arose in Soviet times when the temples were closed, and people had the need for some ritual action. But now, when you can stay freely to pray in the temple, you shouldn't go to the cemetery for Easter, because the Church of Mudro shares the time of joy and time of sadness, and it allows a person to feel more deeply Easter joy, and then with great attention and love to pray for his dried relatives.

Finishing the day before Easter, Saturday, the post end and the main holiday of Orthodox is approaching the resurrection of the Lord.
