Orthodox Caludians celebrate “autumn Easter”

So called the Resurrection of the Word in memory of the renewal of the Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Jerusalem. The word “word” comes from the ancient Russian “to hear”, “to count”. This means that people remember not the very event of the Resurrection, but the consecration of the temple erected on the site of this greatest event.

At the same time, the Easter service is performed in the temples, and believers again hear the familiar Easter hymns.

After the destruction of the city by the Roman emperor Titus, the place of the crucifixion and burial of Christ was filled up and turned into a pagan temple. In the IV century, on the instructions of the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great, Equal-to-the-Apostles Queen Helena, excavations were carried out, as a result of which the Holy Sepulcher, Golgotha and the Life-Creating Cross were discovered.

There began the construction of a new temple, which lasted about 10 years and ended on September 26, 335. The whole of Jerusalem was consecrated.

From the point of view of the Church Charter, there are no strict bans on this day. The peasants prepared for the winter and gathered their last vegetables.

They advise not to quarrel, not to guess, not to allow guests to wash dishes. You can not arrange noisy walks and look in the mirror for a long time.

As reported by “MK in Kaluga” earlier, Kaluga residents were told about strict bans on the Snake Day.
