Leaving the church, people certainly tried to take a few bunches of grass to mix with hay, boil and drink, like a healing decoction in case of illness.

admin, 04.06.2017Trinity holiday in 2017: in the Orthodox world, the feast of the Trinity has a special meaning
The celebration of the Trinity depends on the date of Easter and falls exactly on the fiftieth day after the Bright Resurrection of Christ. In 2017, this event is celebrated on June 4th. The Feast of the Trinity completes the spring Christian celebrations and ends with Lent, after which the cycle of summer celebrations begins.
Why We Celebrate Trinity
Trinity is one of the greatest celebrations in Orthodoxy, which is celebrated by the people and recognized in the church. This is the second most important holiday after Easter, and it is appointed on the fiftieth day after Happy Sunday. The Bible says that on this day the Holy Spirit descended from heaven as the Father and the Son at the same time to the twelve apostles and proved the unity of God. It was then that God gave blessing to the apostles to build a church. This day is considered the founding day of the church.
There is also a legend that on the fiftieth day after leaving Egypt (Old Testament Easter), Moses on Mount Sinai told Israel God's law, which everyone must fulfill. This was the starting point in the development of the Old Testament church. Since then, every year the Jews celebrate the so-called Shavuot, that is, Pentecost. Also on this day, Israel celebrates the feast of the first harvest and fruits. However, Shavuot is considered more important and significant, and is one of the three holiest Jewish holidays.
Pentecost always falls at the time when the trees and flowers are in bloom. Therefore, for the holiday, temples and houses are decorated with branches with leaves that smell and remind of the holiday. Before the Trinity, Saturday is held in the churches when they commemorate people who have died of their own free will and those who have drowned and disappeared. On the feast, the clergy wear festive attire. Grass is taken from the temple, dried, and then used for a year as a talisman from the evil eye and ill-wishers.
Trinity among the Slavs
As you know, the Slavic people did not always profess Christianity, and for many centuries their official religion was paganism. That is why, even today, customs and traditions have been preserved that are more likely to belong to the Slavic culture.
Even before the church began to celebrate the Trinity, this day was considered the border between spring and summer. On this day, it was customary to sing songs, dance, have fun, dance round dances. Houses were decorated with greenery, which was then used as medicinal herbs and tinctures. It was believed that it was on this holiday that devilry in the form of mermaids and mawks.
Before the baptism of Russia, there was a holiday of Semik or Triglav, that is, the Slavic Trinity. According to pagan teachings, there are three Deities that control humanity - Svarog, Perun, Svyatovit or Svyatozhich. The first, in their opinion, created the Universe, the second is the defender of truth, moreover, it was Perun that all the warriors revered in a special way and considered him their patron. The third, Svyatozhich, is the keeper of light and heaven, it is he who fills humanity with the energy of life.
As we have already mentioned, another name for the Slavic Trinity is Semik, which means Green Week. This, one might say, is the beginning of summer Christmas time, which, as always in Russia, was accompanied by loud festivities, peculiar rituals, and, of course, girlish fortune-telling.
What is the essence of the Trinity
According to the teachings of the church, God is one in his three manifestations and is an eternal, living, omnipresent and incorporeal spirit. Dogma about Holy Trinity, which is the basis of Christian doctrine, says: God the Father is not born from anyone and does not come from anyone. The Son is eternally born from God the Father, and the Holy Spirit eternally proceeds from God the Father. All three hypostases of the Trinity exist in complete unity, which creates the world and sanctifies it.
Traditions and customs of the Trinity in Russia
Like many holidays, this one started with cleaning. Mistresses a day or two before Trinity began general cleaning in the house and in the yard. After that, the women decorated the hut and the yard with everything that summer had awarded the earth, namely, green plants. According to our ancestors, young plants symbolize prosperity, wealth and the continuation of life.
And on the day of the Trinity, from the very morning the whole family hurried to the temple. After all, in the churches on this day they held a festive service. After the temple, everyone went home and had a festive dinner. As usual, our ancestors went to each other to congratulate, give gifts and chat together.
Swimming in rivers and lakes was forbidden all week. After all, our ancestors believed that during this period you can meet a mermaid who beckons to her, and not return, because mermaids can tickle to death.
Toward evening in the villages, all the people gathered for festivities. They arranged round dances, sang songs, danced, performed rituals. Also, fairs were often held for the whole week, where you could also find a lot of entertainment. Of course, at this time, the young looked at each other and got to know each other.
Rites and rituals for the Trinity
The celebration of the Trinity lasts three days. On the first day of the Trinity, which is also called Green Sunday, people should be very careful and careful. They are considered to be walking mythical creatures, such as mermaids, mavki and other evil spirits. Therefore, it is customary to decorate their homes with fragrant herbs, and icons with birch branches. A young birch is a symbol of blossoming nature in all its glory. BUT green color associated with cleansing, renewal and life-giving force. No wonder nature “puts on” a beautiful green dress for this day.
Trinity was celebrated in forests, fields, gardens. They sang songs and played funny games. On this day, unmarried girls divined on their own woven wreaths, into which they woven flowers fragrant with a delicate aroma and striking in their beauty. Wreaths were thrown into the water and amazingly heartfelt songs were sung, if the wreaths converged, then this year to be a young betrothed.
Old-timers say that on a festive night to shoot prophetic dreams, which are considered to be of particular importance. They also visited cemeteries and commemorated the dead, leaving treats. Toward evening, a real festivity began, where buffoons entertained people.
On the second day of Trinity, which is called Klechalny Monday, people attended church. After the service, the clergy walked through the fields and prayed, asking the Lord to protect the harvest.
The third day of the Trinity is called the Spiritual Day. They chose the most beautiful girl, dressed up beyond recognition - with multi-colored ribbons and incomparable wreaths, dressed in festive clothes. After that, they took her around the yards, and the owners generously presented her with treats. They also consecrated the water in the wells in order to purify it from the unclean spirit.
Each Slavic holiday literally saturated with various rites and rituals. Well, let's take a closer look at a few of them:
As we have already mentioned, on this day there was a belief that mermaids wake up on Trinity. Therefore, in order to protect themselves from it, several rituals were performed in the villages. In some villages, at nightfall, women ran all over the village with a broomstick. And in other villages, they dressed the girl in a mermaid, and then drove her out into the field and threw her into a zhito, after which they ran away home.
Another ritual associated with the expulsion of the mermaid was carried out as follows. In advance, the whole village created a stuffed mermaid, and in the evening, during the festivities, they danced around it. Then everyone was divided into two teams, one of which is trying to take the mermaid from the enemy. After that, the stuffed animal was taken to the field, torn into small pieces and scattered across the field.
In addition to the mermaids, according to the Slavs, the water one also woke up on this day, which also had to be scared away. To do this, the whole village along the coast kindled fires, danced round dances and sang songs loudly. In the morning, it was believed that all the unclean forces were driven away, so the people with a clear conscience fled to the river in the morning to swim.
Women who had young children kept a piece of the Trinity Pie for their wedding. When someone got married, the mother handed this biscuit to the newlyweds, in the hope that it would be their talisman and bring peace, happiness, wealth and joy to the house, as well as save them from illness and adversity.
Particular attention should be paid to decorating the house, as ordinary branches and bouquets did not fit. It is believed that on this day in the house there must be branches of maple, birch, oak and mountain ash - after all, they are able to protect against evil people, and also bestow strength, health and energy to overcome obstacles. A week later, all plants were burned at the stake.
It was also customary to collect various herbs on the Trinity, because according to our ancestors, they had a special power. All this was dried and left in case someone in the house got sick. An obligatory ritual for the Trinity was the casting of wreaths along the river. It was a kind of divination for the Trinity - in this way the girls tried to find out their fate for the next year.
To save themselves from drought and crop failure, it was customary on this day to irrigate the flowers and branches with which they stood in the temple with their tears. The girls deliberately tried to burst into tears so that the drops fell on the flowers, after which they were kept for a whole year.
Signs on the Trinity
On this day, they tried not to schedule a wedding, it was believed that nothing good awaited such a family, it became known w. But the matchmaking and acquaintance on this day is a good sign. Such a marriage will be strong and happy.
They also tried not to think about the bad on the feast of the Trinity, to envy and be angry with someone - this is a bad sign and it will not lead to anything good.
Many of us have heard that if it rains that day, it means tears for the dead. However, in addition to this sign, there was another one that said that if it rained that day, then the whole year there would be a lot of mushrooms, a good harvest and wonderful weather.
Also, women tried to redo all their affairs until the day of the Trinity, since it was believed that on this day it was impossible to sew, spin, bleach, bake pies and work in the garden. If, after three days, the birch branches with which the house was decorated were fresh and did not wither, then everyone was waiting for a wet hayfield.
Many believed that in order to scare away evil spirits and bring wealth and prosperity to the village, it is necessary to go to the cemetery and clean the graves. It was a very bad sign if it was hot on Trinity. This means the whole summer will be dry and, accordingly, a poor harvest. And the collected dew on the Trinity, according to Slavic women, has a special power that can heal and give strength.
Trinity, also called Pentecost, is the most important holiday for Orthodox Christians. Since ancient times, it has been celebrated on a large scale, because it is considered one of the greatest events in the life of Jesus Christ.
It should be clearly understood that the celebration falls on different dates every year. Thus, the interest of Russians in the Trinity begins to appear a few days before it begins. Every year this holiday is celebrated on the 50th day after the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In 2017, this day falls on June 4th.
