Trinity parental Saturday 2017: how to commemorate the dead and what not to do
History and meaning
Trinity Ecumenical Parental Saturday is probably the oldest memorial day in Christianity. It originates from apostolic times - from the 1st century from the birth of Christ. It is always performed on the eve of the Holy Trinity - hence the name.
According to legend, on this day, still persecuted and not recognized by anyone, Christians gathered together to honor the memory of tortured and executed brothers and sisters in faith who did not receive a proper burial.
If the Day of the Holy Trinity is a kind of birthday of the Ecumenical Apostolic Church, then Trinity Saturday is, as it were, the last day of the Old Testament Church before the full disclosure of the Church of Christ. Therefore, the Orthodox Church considers it important to commemorate before the day of the Holy Trinity all those who have died from the age. The Church says that the Holy Spirit descended to earth on the day of Pentecost in order to teach, sanctify and lead people to eternal salvation. Therefore, the Church calls on all people on parental Saturday to make a commemoration in order to purify all souls with the saving grace of the Holy Spirit.
During the service, they recall the parable of the Last Judgment of the living and the dead, so that a person remembers that he will have to answer for the committed sinful deeds during the Judgment. Therefore, the Church has established intercession not only for its living members, but also for all those who have died from time immemorial, especially for those who died suddenly, and prays to the Lord for their mercy. Thus, the Church gives everyone a chance for the salvation of the soul.
What is Parental Saturday
These Saturdays at Orthodox churches a special commemoration of the dead Orthodox Christians is performed. The name "parental" most likely came from the tradition of calling the deceased "parents", that is, those who had gone to their fathers. And also because Christians prayerfully commemorated, first of all, their deceased parents. Among parental Saturdays, Ecumenical Saturdays are especially singled out, on which the Orthodox Church prayerfully commemorates all the dead in general.
Holy Trinity 2017: symbols and signs of the great holiday
There are two such Saturdays in a year: Myasopustnaya (a week before the start of Lent, which was celebrated on February 18 in 2017) and Trinity. On these days, special services are performed - ecumenical requiems. The remaining parental Saturdays are not ecumenical and are set aside specifically for the private commemoration of people dear to our hearts.
How they commemorate in the church
In Orthodox churches, on the eve of parental Saturday - on Friday evening, the Great Panikhida is served, which is also called the Greek word "parastas". The Divine Liturgy for the dead is served on Saturday morning, followed by a common memorial service. On this day, one should commemorate their deceased parents in the church - people submit notes with the names of loved ones of the dead and pray for the repose of their souls in the afterlife.
According to the old church tradition, the parishioners bring lenten products and wine to the temple for the celebration of the liturgy, which are consecrated during the service, and later distributed to those who wish.
What is customary to do
After visiting the temples, the Orthodox go to the cemetery, read prayers for the repose of the souls of deceased relatives, put the graves in order. The Church believes that on this day it is more important to defend the service in the temple than to go to the cemetery, since the deceased relatives and close people are much prayer is more important than visiting the grave.
But, if it is not possible these days to visit the temple and the cemetery, you can pray for the repose of the deceased at home. Another custom of Trinity Saturday is the obligatory distribution of alms to all those in need with a request to pray for the departed.
There is a belief that on the parental Saturday before the Trinity one cannot work, clean the apartment and even wash the dishes, although the church has a different opinion.
Priests say that work restrictions exist primarily so that household chores do not interfere with prayer and church attendance. Parental Sabbath should begin with a visit to church and prayer for the departed, and after returning home from the temple, you can do homework.
customs
Folk traditions of commemoration of the dead people were somewhat different from the church ones. Ordinary people went to the graves of relatives before big holidays - on the eve of Maslenitsa, Trinity, Intercession Holy Mother of God and Memorial Day of the Holy Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica.
The people most of all revered Dmitrievskaya parental Saturday. This is the last parental Saturday of the year, which in 2017 falls on October 28th. In 1903, Emperor Nicholas II even issued a decree on the performance of a special memorial service for the soldiers who fell for the Fatherland - "For the faith, the tsar and the Fatherland, who laid their lives on the battlefield." The days of special commemoration of the dead in Ukraine and Belarus were called "Grandfathers". There were up to six such "Grandfathers" a year. The people superstitiously believed that on these days all deceased relatives invisibly join the family memorial meal.
By ancient custom, on parental Saturdays, it was customary to eat kutya - an obligatory dish of the funeral meal. Sweet porridge was usually prepared from whole grains of wheat or other cereals with the addition of honey, as well as raisins or nuts. True, today few people follow him.
Prayer for the departed Rest, Lord, the souls of the departed Thy servants: my parents, relatives, benefactors (their names) and all Orthodox Christians, and forgive them all sins, free and involuntary, and grant them the Kingdom of Heaven. During the church service, Orthodox people commemorate many generations of their deceased ancestors by name.
Meaning of Trinity Saturday
The rector of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, Metropolitan of Vyshgorod and Chernobyl Bishop Pavel told about the traditions of this day.
He recalled that the tradition of commemorating the dead was founded in the time of the apostles. When the apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, they preached about Jesus Christ and called Him the Judge of the living and the dead. The descent on the Day of Pentecost of the Holy Spirit marked the redemption of the world and the gift of unspeakable grace, which acts savingly on the living and on the dead.
Trinity Saturday can be called the last day of the Old Testament Church and the beginning of the dispensation of the Church of Christ. Therefore, in one of the prayers there is such an appeal to the Lord: “Lord, rest the souls of Thy servants, the father and brothers of ours and other relatives according to the flesh, and all of our own in the faith, we are making memory of them now.”
“With a prayer for repose, we ask the Lord to forgive the sins committed by the deceased due to weakness, and those who have gone to another world sometimes without repentance. We ask that the soul of the deceased receive eternal rest in the Abodes of the Kingdom of Heaven, where there are no sorrows and sorrows, but there is eternal joy in being with the Lord. Try through alms and help to those in need to help the deceased, because any alms for the departed is another request for the mercy of the Lord. A person who has departed to another world can no longer repent of his sins, give alms, or change anything. He is waiting for our prayers, help and rewards,” the Metropolitan said.
At Reverend John Damascus, it is said how one of the God-bearing fathers had a disciple living in carelessness, and when he was overtaken by death, the Lord, after the prayers offered by the elder, showed him the boy, like a rich man (mentioned in the parable of Lazarus) burning in fire up to his neck. When the elder grieved a lot about this and tearfully prayed to God, the Lord showed him the lad standing in the fire up to his waist. And then, when the saint added new labors to his labors, God in a vision to the elder showed the lad free and completely removed from the fire.
“There are a great many such examples, but all of them again and again confirm to us that the prayer of those living on earth, sincere, coming from the heart, can change a lot for our departed. The Lord sees and hears each of us, and blessed is he who strives not only for himself, but also for his neighbor. The Lord every minute gives us His mercy and gives us mercy. Do not doubt, dear brothers and sisters, in the forgiveness of the Lord, but remember at the same time that everything that is offered to God with faith subsequently has a multiple reward, both to those who bring it and to those for whom it is offered,” the rector of the Lavra addressed the readers of Vesti.
He once again reminded that the Lord descended from heaven to earth, accepted torment and death on the cross for the salvation of the entire human race. He suffered and sacrificed Himself for each of us. Therefore, any person who has the smallest share of virtues will not be forgotten by the Lord and will be his close friend, by the grace of the Lord, and his relatives and friends will pray and give alms for the one who has departed to receive retribution in the Abodes of the Kingdom of Heaven.
And the one who lived viciously, not caring about the soul - the Lord will not look at him, and none of his relatives and friends will help. John Chrysostom says: “If in your life you did not manage to arrange well everything concerning your soul, then at least at death command your relatives so that after death they send your property to you and help you with good deeds, that is, alms and offerings. Thus, even here you will be reconciled with the Redeemer.”
The Lord will not leave without His Divine justice those who are lonely and who do not have relatives who would pray for them, or those who did not have a state that can be distributed after death as alms.
The Lord does not leave anyone or anything without His Divine attention, and only in the Lord is all truth, wisdom and grace. He will save every creation that He has made, with the exception of those who have apostatized from the faith and violated the commandments of the Lord.
It is necessary to commemorate the dead as often as possible, not only on those days that are designated as days of special commemoration of the departed.
Parent Saturday: what to do and what to bring to church
On the eve of the liturgy, it is necessary to submit notes - a registered magpie - with the names of relatives (only those baptized in Orthodox faith), and during the proskomedia, particles from the prosphora for repose will be taken out, lowered into the bowl and washed with the Blood of Christ.
“This is the greatest blessing we can do for our departed. The souls of people who have gone to another world without bearing the fruits of repentance endure torment and suffering, and the priest's prayer helps them get some relief. You can submit notes for the memorial service, which is served after the liturgy, in the designated place in the temple. Here you can also leave an offering in the form of bread, cereals, vegetable oil, everything is done as far as possible. You can put a candle in memory of the deceased, and this will be your small sacrifice. It is advisable to order magpies - this is when for 40 days there is an unceasing commemoration or reading of the Psalter for half a year or a year during the Liturgy,” Vladyka Pavel explained.
At the same time, he emphasized that, when giving repose in churches, one should not forget about prayer at home, since the soul of the deceased is in great need of it. “And since the Church does not commemorate suicides and those who are not baptized in the Orthodox faith, you can make a commemoration in your home prayer,” the metropolitan added.
A very popular custom is the memorial meal. “But you shouldn’t turn it into a feast to eat deliciously and discuss the latest news. At the memorial meal, a common prayer is needed for the repose of the deceased. And the first dish with which the meal begins is kutya (wheat grains with honey and raisins). It is also necessary to exclude all types of alcohol. Previously, there was such a pious custom when beggars, old women and children were the first to sit at the memorial table, they were also given the clothes of the deceased and alms,” said Vladyka Pavel.

Trinity Saturday: folk beliefs and prohibitions
Our ancestors believed that on the eve of the Trinity, mermaids come out of the reservoirs, arranging various pranks in the fields and in the forests and singing songs loudly. Hearing this noise, the merman begins to disturb the water in rivers and lakes. In order to calm the merman, on the night of the Trinity, young people burned fires near the water or ran through the forest with branches, chasing the mermaids who had played out. At the same time, swimming on the night of the Trinity was strictly forbidden, since the water one awakened by the mermaids could drag to the bottom.
Also on Trinity Saturday and on Trinity it was forbidden to work in the field and in the yard, and it was impossible to go into the forest alone - for fear of meeting mermaids. For the same reason, these days people also tried not to graze cattle near forests and water bodies.

What date does Trinity Ecumenical Parental Saturday fall on in 2019? What is the history and background of this event? Read about it in the article!
Trinity Ecumenical Parental Saturday in 2019 - June 15
According to the Charter of the Ecumenical Orthodox Church, on the eve of the feast of Holy Pentecost (Trinity), a funeral service is performed, as on the day of the first Ecumenical Parental Saturday, which happens on the Meat-Feast Week before the Week (Resurrection) of the Last Judgment. This parental Saturday was called Trinity and just like Myasopustnaya, it precedes the entry into the post, which begins in a week and is called Apostolic.
This commemoration of the departed dates back to the time of the apostles. Just as it is said about the establishment of the Meat-Safe Parental Sabbath that “the Divine Fathers received it from the Holy Apostles,” so it can be said about the origin of the Trinity Sabbath. In the words of St. app. Peter, uttered by him on the day of Pentecost, is an important indication of the beginning of the custom of commemorating the dead on the day of Pentecost. The apostle on this day, addressing the Jews, speaks of the Risen Savior: God raised him up by breaking the bonds of death(Acts 2:24). And the decrees of the Apostles tell us about how the apostles, filled with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, preached to Jews and Gentiles our Savior Jesus Christ, the Judge of the living and the dead. Therefore, the Holy Church from ancient times calls us to make before the day of the Most Holy Trinity the commemoration of all the pious forefathers, fathers, brothers and sisters who have departed from time immemorial, since on the day of Pentecost the redemption of the world was sealed by the sanctifying power of the Life-giving Holy Spirit which gracefully and savingly extends both to us, the living, and to the dead. Both on Meat-Feast Saturday, representing, as it were, the last day of the world, and on Trinity, representing the last day of the Old Testament Church before the revelation in all its power of the kingdom of Christ on the Day of Pentecost, the Orthodox Church prays for all the departed fathers and brothers. On the very feast day, in one of the prayers, he lifts up a sigh to the Lord about them: we are making memory now.”
On the Day of Pentecost, the redemption of the world was sealed by the sanctifying and perfecting power of the Life-Giving Holy Spirit, extending grace and salvation to the living and the dead. Therefore, the Holy Church, both on Meatfare Saturday, representing, as it were, the last day of the world, and on Trinity, representing the last day of the Old Testament Church before the opening in all the power of the Church of Christ on the Day of Pentecost, prays for all the departed fathers and brothers, and on the very The Day of Pentecost offers prayers to the Lord for them. One of these prayers says: “God give rest to the souls of Thy servants, our fathers and brothers who have fallen asleep before, and other relatives according to the flesh, and all of their own in the faith, we are making memory of them now.”

- This is a near-Earth object with a diameter of about 30 meters. It was discovered on August 29, 2006, when it was at a distance of 4.5 million km. from our planet. Scientists observed the celestial body for 10 days, after which the asteroid ceased to be visible in telescopes.Based on such a short observation period, it is impossible to accurately determine the distance at which the asteroid 2006 QV89 will approach the Earth on 09/09/2019, since the asteroid has not been observed since then (since 2006). Moreover, according to various estimates, the object may approach our planet not at all on the 9th, but on a different date in September 2019.
As for whether 2006 QV89 will hit Earth on September 9, 2019 or not - the chance of a collision is extremely low.
Thus, the Sentry System (developed by the JPL Center for NEO Studies) shows that the probability of a body colliding with the Earth is 1:9100 (those. about one ten thousandth of a percent).
The European Space Agency (ESA) estimates the chance of an asteroid orbit crossing our planet as 1 to 7300 (0,00014 % ). ESA ranked the 2006 QV89 4th among celestial bodies, representing a potential danger to the Earth. According to the agency, exact time"flight" of the body September 9, 2019 - 10:03 Moscow time.

For the Russian team, this will be the fourth game in this qualifying tournament. Recall that in the previous three meetings, Russia "at the start" lost to Belgium with a score of 1:3, and then won two dry victories - over Kazakhstan (4:0) and over San Marino (9:0). The last victory was the largest ever for the existence of the Russian national football team.
As for the upcoming meeting, according to the bookmakers, the Russian team is the favorite in it. The Cypriots are objectively weaker than the Russians, and nothing good can be expected from the upcoming match for the islanders. However, we must take into account that the teams have never met before, and therefore we can expect unpleasant surprises.
