Sealing ritual prayer. Funeral
Life and death are two inseparable components of the earthly existence of the human soul. Different peoples have developed certain burial rules that are carefully passed down from generation to generation. According to Christian customs, the deceased are buried; on the day of burial, a wooden eight-pointed cross is placed on the grave, and flowers are laid. When are wreaths removed from a grave after a funeral and is it necessary to do so? Let's try to answer these questions based on church canons and folk traditions.
The cross as a symbol of the incorruptibility of the soul
According to Christian customs, the cross should be placed at the feet of the deceased so that the face of the deceased is turned towards the crucifix. This rule is often neglected, placing a cross in our heads. Another church canon is often violated - screwing a photograph of a deceased relative to a cross. There is no need to do this, just hang up a sign with the name and dates of birth/death.
For the Orthodox, the cross is the traditional form of a tombstone; the top of the head, rising upward, points to heaven - the place of residence of the soul freed from the mortal body. According to established traditions, flowers are laid on the grave and funeral wreaths are placed as a tribute to memory and respect for the deceased.
Which flowers are better, fresh or artificial?
Maintaining order in a cemetery is not so much a spiritual aspect as a social one. Agree that the deceased does not care at all what his grave looks like. The living need this - so that they have somewhere to come in moments of sorrow or joy, to ask for advice or receive a blessing. The question of when wreaths are removed from a grave after a funeral according to church canons should not have existed in principle. In any case, until the middle of the last century such a problem did not arise.
The thing is that, according to Christian customs, graves were decorated with fresh flowers, the lifespan of which is short. So they were removed within the first few days. It is possible and necessary to clean the burial site of unnecessary parts and bring it into proper shape at any time. This is what most clergy think. Moreover, according to the canons of the church, artificial flowers, which have replaced real ones today, are a symbol of lies and hypocrisy.
Link to the fortieth memorial day
In Soviet times, when special observances were not observed, a tradition arose of laying flowers made of light fabric or paper on graves. Today, funeral wreaths are made of plastic, which significantly extends their service life. These funeral attributes can be left in the open air without damaging their appearance for several months and even years.
People who are deeply religious, when asked when they remove wreaths from a grave after a funeral according to church canons, usually answer: by the fortieth day after burial. In fact, there are no strict church rules on this matter.
The validity of this statement can be explained by the established custom in Orthodoxy, after 40 days after the funeral, to invite a priest to the grave of the deceased to perform a funeral service. It is highly desirable that the place be beautifully and cleanly tidied up before the priest arrives. But let us repeat: there are no prohibitions on restoring order in burial places before this date.
How to care for a grave
Caring for graves, according to the clergy, should be carried out regularly, as needed. Removing wilted flowers, replacing wreaths that have become unusable, correcting crumbled soil - this can be done at any time. In this way, the living pay tribute to the dead, show others and, first of all, themselves that the memory and love for the departed do not fade in their hearts.
When wreaths are removed from a grave after a funeral, if the soil settles, it is corrected with a shovel, giving the mound the correct shape. The surface can be covered with green turf and perennial flowers can be planted around. Chrysanthemums, zinnias, marigolds, daffodils, and lilies of the valley take root well and do not require constant care. In this case, there is no need to use artificial attributes.
What to do with wreaths that have become unusable
Each cemetery has specially designated areas for storing such items, which are ultimately household waste that must be disposed of. Many countries are gradually abandoning the use of artificial wreaths, since recycling plastic requires additional costs and is harmful to the environment.
Imagine a huge city cemetery where hundreds of burials take place every day. Naturally, when wreaths are removed from a grave after a funeral, whole piles of unnecessary funeral paraphernalia are formed, which are then taken to a landfill. In rural areas, wreaths that have served their purpose are simply burned somewhere nearby. The acrid smell of plastic released not only pollutes the environment, but also disrupts the blissful atmosphere inside the village churchyard.
On what days should you not clean the cemetery?
According to church regulations, it is forbidden to clean, paint fences, plant flowers and trees on graves on all Sundays, and even more so on Orthodox holidays. Such actions are considered a sin and a sign of disrespect for the church.
In addition, there are certain periods when you should not go to the cemetery at all. These include:
- Holidays (from 7 to 20 January).
- Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday.
- Easter and the following Bright Week.
- Days of the twelve holidays.
- Any Sundays.
Visiting the deceased usually begins on Radonitsa (parents' day), which falls on Tuesday, sixteen days after Easter.
Is a monument needed?
The Orthodox Church condemns any excesses in the arrangement of burial sites. But since many of us do not consider ourselves deeply religious, over the past few decades the custom has developed of installing monuments on graves. As a rule, such monuments are made of marble or granite and cast from various types of metal. You can often hear in response to the question of when to erect a monument after a funeral, the statement: no earlier than twelve months. Why is that?
Some explain this by the need to maintain a period of 1 year, after which any manipulations on the grave of the deceased will not be able to disturb him. According to popular beliefs, after 12 months the soul of the deceased finally leaves our world. It is quite possible that there is some rational grain in such reasoning. No one has ever been able to look beyond the edges of eternal darkness.
Interestingly, workshops that make heavy tombstones will tell you the same thing. Only the basis will be more mundane, without reference to afterlife mythology. So, when to erect a monument after a funeral? Only when the soil on the grave is completely compacted will it give final shrinkage. This process in most cases requires at least one year. Otherwise, the metal or stone structure may become uneven, warp, fall, or become deformed due to the movement of soil layers.
The cross is not a hindrance to the monument
Now we know where and when wreaths are removed from the grave after the funeral. But according to Orthodox customs, crosses installed during burial should be handled with care. Even if you decide to perpetuate the memory of a deceased relative in marble or bronze, the cross must be left in place. In this case, the monument is installed either next to the cross or on the opposite side from it.
In some cases, the cross can be placed next to the grave or, in agreement with the clergyman, burned in a church oven. It seems that in any case, external manifestations of respect for the deceased are not so important. The main thing is spiritual kinship and memory living in our heart.
Guns_and_Roses, come on. If you think about it, half of the land in Europe is a complete cemetery, and not only parks, houses are being built, and people are living like crazy.
By the way, over the grave of the monarch of England Richard III (http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A0%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B4_III) there was a public toilet , and then they built a parking lot, and nothing
By the way, about that cemetery from my childhood, which is still intact. I was in that area the other day, and noticed that nearby there is a fairly large wasteland where, apart from old trees and a couple of electrical poles, there is nothing else, but crows roam there in flocks. Nearby, on all sides of the cemetery, there are private houses (the distance from the border of the cemetery to people’s fences is a narrow country road), and here the seemingly fertile place lies idle. I became interested in what was going on, and I found out that “glory to the CPSU” once this part of the cemetery was leveled by bulldozers and pillars were placed there, of which 2 remain at the moment.

In our time, the wrong funeral ritual has become very widespread, and therefore black magic makes full use of this ritual to cause severe damage.
When a person dies, as is known, his soul leaves the body, that is, the astral body separates from the physical body. But for 40 days the soul is next to the body - it sees and hears everything. People with clairvoyance can observe her.
According to Orthodox canons, a dying person must confess, receive communion and receive the Unction of Oil. Otherwise, all the sins that a person committed during his lifetime go to his heirs. Therefore, it is very important to adhere to the basic rules of burial:
Firstly: the water that was used to wash the body must be poured into a place where people do not go - dig a hole and, having poured out the water, cross this place. If this is not done, then you can cause damage to death, skin diseases, serious illnesses, and destruction of the family, both for yourself and for others. Under no circumstances should you...

I've never seen anything like it. You are engaged in Gaponism.
Not true.
In my topic or question, I wanted to hear the explanations of the priests, or those who speak here on their behalf, on behalf of the Church. I saw one case when a priest asked relatives to bring earth so that he could read a prayer and then the relatives would take it to the cemetery to the grave of the deceased. Case 2, I saw when the priest poured somehow “charmed” earth into a coffin before burial, covered the body with a shroud and poured it on top of the shroud.
In any version, there is a ritual of “sealing the grave.” What does this mean for the deceased or for others? I wanted to hear the direct text of the priests. And the second question was, is this practiced in Catholic churches during burial?
I'm an agnostic... and unlike the "wacked" ones, I'm able to separate the flies from the cutlets.
If you see money in everything, this is not a sin in principle. Every work should have gratitude, so to speak. The topic is not about...

Do we have such a ritual? Probably not, because burning is preferable for us, but in that case, what could be the essence?
The Slavs had both. Preferable - it depends on the tribe. Of course, cremation is the most rational option in terms of finances and custom. Cremation on logs according to the old teaching will raise a number of questions among caring employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Could this somehow influence the future fate of the soul, reincarnation, etc. Isn't this an attempt to leave the soul in the grave forever?
Almost all orthodox rites of Christians are borrowed from the outright black magic of the Sumerians, Babylonians and Jews, especially the cult of the dead (relics of murdered saints, murder weapons and body parts, portraits of the tortured and murdered - all in the cults), so it is likely that under quite peaceful intentions to observe the custom of funeral services according to the canons of the church may hide the background of the roots of Christianity in the sects of the first followers of “Judaism for...

“This happened many years ago. I was 20 years old when my father, who was still very young, unexpectedly died. I want to make a small disclaimer. At the age of 20, I was a Soviet Komsomol member who did not believe in God or the devil, did not know how to be baptized, and did not know a single prayer. Now let's get back to the story. Exactly 15 days have passed since the funeral. My father's grave was "unsealed" (a special stone had to be placed on it). Nobody told us that this should be done, and we ourselves did not know anything about it, and even if we knew, we would consider it superstition. On the 16th day I was left alone in the apartment. I watched TV calmly, but the closer it got to midnight, the more anxiety took hold of me. Finally, deciding that it was time to sleep, I turned off the TV. Looking at the clock, I saw that it was already five minutes to midnight.
Suddenly I heard a rather strong knock on the door. I got out of bed and went to open it. Oddly enough, I didn’t even ask who was knocking.
My dead man crossed the threshold...

The quality of the soil directly affects the health and growth of indoor plants, so its choice should be taken seriously. http://iplants.ru/pochv.htm
The finished mixture must be sifted through a mesh. Ready-made mixtures can be frozen; in this case, the number of pests and weeds is reduced.
You should not use garden soil for replanting plants - mineral fertilizers are added to it from year to year, so most often it contains an excessive concentration of salts. Therefore, it is better to cut off the top layer of turf in the forest or take soil from molehills: it is loose, nutritious and practically does not contain insects. However, self-collected soil should in any case be sterilized before use, as it may be infected with pests or pathogens.
Method one: place a small amount of earth in a pan no more than 15 cm thick, steam in a water bath for 10 minutes at a temperature of 85 degrees.
Method two:...

Funeral superstitions. Is it possible to take soil from a grave?
The Funeral Home magazine and the Funeral Portal have repeatedly addressed the topic of funeral superstitions. Despite the explanations of ritualists and priests, these superstitions continue to exist, and sometimes people who profess these rituals themselves sincerely believe and try to convince others that these are the most correct religious rituals.
One of the most common superstitions is the belief that it is necessary to take soil from a grave, take it to church, and then pour it back onto the grave.

How do adherents of this ritual explain their actions?
Explanation one. If for some reason you were unable to perform the funeral service for a deceased Christian, then with the help of this ritual you perform an absentee funeral service.

“The death of the physical body is the rewriting of all information accumulated during a given incarnation cycle and the transition to the next birth.”
V.Yu. Rogozhkin. "ENIOLOGY"
People's fear of the fatal line separating existence from non-existence gave rise to a magical funeral ritual. At different times and among different peoples, this ritual often had the exact opposite character. In some cases - complete disregard for the flesh. In a number of Arab and African countries, the dead are simply thrown into the desert or savannah to be devoured by vultures. The spirit is eternal, and let the mortal body finally serve the nature from which we all came.
In contrast to eastern cremation, on European territory the rite of oriented burial of the bodies of the dead is generally accepted, which has come down to us from the Neanderthals, who, in addition, painted the skeleton with ocher after the decomposition of soft tissues. In Ancient Rus', however, cremation of corpses was carried out for warriors and nobility.
After the death of a person's physical body,...

“The sacred rite, colloquially referred to as the “sealing” or “sealing” of the deceased, is a necessary part of the burial.
After singing “Eternal Memory” and reading the prayer “Lord Jesus Christ our God...” in “The Mortal Succession of Worldly Bodies” it is said: “And the relics are placed in the coffin: the bishop, or priest, takes up dust with a shovel, places a cross on top of the relics, saying: “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulfillment thereof, the world, and all who live on it.” And so he pours oil from the kandil (lamp) on top of the relics, or sprinkles ashes from the censer, and they cover it like they usually do a coffin.
There are two types of "sealing". One, when it is performed in a cemetery and the other (not mentioned in the breviary, but due to various circumstances, sometimes forced into practice), when the sealing of the body of the deceased is performed with sand or earth at the funeral service: in a temple or other place.
There are cases when a memorial service is performed for the deceased, and the “sealing” is performed later. Apparently the author...

Those who could go to “normal” grandmothers could hear: “you, her, him were sealed.” What does it mean?
Sealing is a church ceremony during which the priest reads a prayer over a handful of earth in the church, so that this earth can then be poured crosswise onto the grave or onto the coffin in the cemetery. There is a church rule that this “seals” a person in the grave so that his spirit does not walk on earth, the soul does not return to earth, but goes to God’s judgment and there is no return to earth until the Last Judgment.
This is done upon presentation of a certificate or death certificate. But how long can you do it skillfully? A fake certificate or an extra 300 rubles and you can seal a living person.
And this is damage to death. A person, depending on his strength, begins slowly or quickly approaches death. If a person is strong, he will continue to live, but he still develops problems with health, with work, and in relationships. He begins to lose strength, interest in life, and willpower.

How to sterilize the substrate
Oh, I liked steaming the soil, no matter how much they write that it’s dead soil, but for some reason the flowers like it in my opinion. After steaming, I plant it as soon as it cools down, but is still warm, I add phytosporin, the main thing here is not to overdo it. I remembered a friend of mine about 20 years ago, who always steamed the soil; at that time, hydrangeas and violets and many of her plants were shiny with health. In nature, all areas are different in terms of microbial content; there is no guarantee that a piece of land will not be infected with pathogens. And in nature there are a lot of microorganisms that move to this pathogen and natural survival and healing of the earth occurs. This is not the case in the apartment, they brought soil with a large amount of pathogens and even...

When replanting a plant indoors or planting a new one, it is recommended to disinfect the soil mixture before putting it in a pot. You may have come across this information from all experienced gardeners - they often casually mention the need to disinfect the soil or its individual components. Let's take a closer look at what the process of disinfecting soil for indoor plants involves and what products can be used for this.
How to disinfect soil for indoor flowers?
Considering the types of soil mixtures, we can safely divide them into store-bought and homemade, prepared with our own hands. Purchased soil mixtures are often sold fully prepared for planting, so the grower does not need to disinfect them, although there are known cases of plants becoming infected with purchased soil, so it is still worth being on the safe side.
In the case of homemade earthen mixture, which was collected by hand, disinfection is necessary...

Soil mixtures (substrates) for indoor plants should not contain pathogenic bacteria, plant pests and weed seeds. To ensure this condition, it is necessary to treat or sterilize the soil.
Special soil mixtures for planting seedlings and houseplants can currently be purchased in stores, as well as made independently at home. Depending on the purposes for which the soil mixture is prepared, its composition may be different. It is necessary to prepare all the components for the manufacture of a nutritional mixture of the required composition. The main component of the soil mixture is soil, which includes clay, fine sand, humus and nutrients.
Composition of soil mixture
The best soil for growing indoor plants is garden soil, because it is well processed, fertilized and fed. First you need to prepare it accordingly: select the roots of weeds, rain...

It would seem that potting soil is much easier to improve and disinfect than in a garden bed - the volume is small, you can control literally every centimeter of the soil. You just have to get a little wrong with the proportions and that’s it, goodbye to the harvest. In open ground, you can sow green manure, add stinking manure, pour boiling water on it, and potassium permanganate - even if you screw it up a little, the soil will be restored. There is no room for error with potting soil...
Soil disinfection is not for the lazy. But if you don’t take at least basic measures, you can ruin all your work. Where does the soil in bags come from? Often, this is waste soil from greenhouses, sifted and enriched with peat, mineral fertilizer and ballast fillers. Often unidentifiable herbs sprout from it, but this can be survived... And this soil is also “enriched” with pathogenic bacteria, mold spores, aphid larvae and other bugs.
Potting soil can be disinfected in a number of ways, which will be discussed...

In our time, the wrong funeral ritual has become very widespread, and therefore black magic makes full use of this ritual to cause severe damage.
When a person dies, as is known, his soul leaves the body, that is, the astral body separates from the physical body. But for 40 days the soul is next to the body - it sees and hears everything. People with clairvoyance can observe her.
According to Orthodox canons, a dying person must confess, receive communion and receive the Unction of Oil. Otherwise, all the sins that a person committed during his lifetime go to his heirs. Therefore, it is very important to adhere to the basic rules of burial:
Firstly: the water that was used to wash the body must be poured into a place where people do not go - dig a hole and, having poured out the water, cross this place. If this is not done, then you can cause damage to death, skin diseases, serious illnesses, and destruction of the family, both for yourself and for others. Under no circumstances should you pour water into the toilet, as this can lead to diseases of the genitourinary system. Any dubious “grandmothers” should not be allowed to wash the body of the deceased; they then use this water, adding it to the food of the future victim.
The water with which the body of the deceased was washed, the so-called “wetting”, is very often used to induce death, damage to erysipelas, destruction of the family, etc. After ablution, it is better to take the water outside the house or yard and pour it into a hole, crossing that place. You can’t even pour it down the toilet, as this can lead to fibroids, cysts and other diseases.
All belongings of the deceased, including bed linen and blankets (especially if the person has been ill for a long time) must be burned. It is impossible to clean such things!!! You can buy any thing, but you can’t buy new health!
All flowers that were brought to the deceased should be left at the cemetery, but under no circumstances should they be scattered along the road!!! You cannot pick these flowers, step on them, or even bring them into the house.
Do not allow strangers to the coffin. Many sorcerers, witches, magicians (conductors of dark forces) specifically go and look for crowded funerals in order to put a photograph or personal item of the next victim in the coffin. This will cause the unfortunate victim to become very sick and eventually die. You cannot eat bread from the lid of a coffin. It needs to be crumbled on a buried grave for the birds, as the soul goes up.
Nothing can be placed in the coffin, except for a special set purchased from the church. You need to pour 3 handfuls of earth into the hole with the coffin, but you need to do this carefully, without throwing it over people’s heads, as this can harm them. There is a misconception that if you sprinkle such earth on a person’s collar, he will stop being afraid of the dead. So, you absolutely cannot do this. Upon returning from the cemetery, you must wash your hands. There is no need to throw your handkerchief into the hole, this automatically harms the nervous system.
You only need to kiss the deceased on the forehead through the “gateway”
Pregnant women and children should not be allowed to attend funerals as they are the most vulnerable. You should visit the cemetery as rarely as possible, and when you get home, thoroughly wash your shoes, wash your clothes and take a bath.
If you have been told that ties from the legs and arms of the deceased can help, this is a huge misconception; under no circumstances should you even pick them up, and if someone asks for them, do not give them to them. Ties are the strongest connection to the world of the dead; in fact, they are the strongest damage to the whole family. Scarves given at funerals cannot be taken home either - they must be left at the cemetery.
According to ancient canons (laws), the funeral service was performed by a priest while the deceased was still in the house. Sorcerers take earth from the cemetery to activate envoltation programs for death (damage), pouring it on the threshold, in their pockets, behind the collar, etc. victims. Everyone knows that soil taken from the cemetery after a funeral for sealing cannot be brought into the house and left in the entrance, otherwise the person is considered sealed. And the entrance too. This will lead to illnesses for the people living in this entrance.
In order not to harm yourself, it is better not to drink or eat anything at the cemetery, and even more so not to take anything from the graves; on the memorial day, when you come to the cemetery, it is better to put a candle on the grave, pray for the repose of the soul of the deceased, and then order a memorial service from the monastery lunch, or just remember at home, but without alcohol.
Also, you cannot grieve deeply and for a long time, this will harm the soul of a loved one, and in return, sand and stones in the kidneys and gall bladder materialize in the grieving person. In a way, these are gravestones with which we block the departure of the dead into subsequent births. The dead begin to appear in dreams and call at night. Anyone who greatly regrets the deceased takes upon himself the obligation to work for him what was not worked. Without understanding this, such a person transfers the karma of the deceased onto himself. Doctors call these hereditary diseases.
Wheat from glasses that were used as candlesticks must be poured out in a place where people do not go, or on a grave. If you sprinkle this grain on a person, you can damage him. No knots should be tied when carrying out a dead body. If anyone has the idea of burying a person in their clothes, don’t allow it. In this case, you are doomed - this is damage to death.
If one of your loved ones was not “sealed”, then you need to take the earth from his grave and take it to the church - seal it and take it back on the same day (light) - this earth CANNOT be brought home.
When making a coffin, measurements are always taken. It should not be placed on the bed or anywhere else in the house. It is best to take it out of the house and put it in a coffin during the funeral. Whatever is intended for the deceased at the funeral must all go with the deceased.
You must not step on the spread towel, and the towels on which the body was lowered must be thrown into the grave.
According to Orthodox laws, nothing can be written on wreaths, nor can fresh flowers be brought.
There should be no music at a funeral, only prayer!
It is advisable to invite the priest to the funeral service directly at the cemetery - he himself knows what needs to be done. You cannot cross the path of a funeral procession.
The water and bread that had stood for 40 days were poured out and crumbled on the grave. There is another “tradition” - eating bread from the lid of a coffin - the person who ate it will definitely get problems with the gastrointestinal tract.
There is a custom - put a glass of vodka and cover it with a piece of bread - for the deceased. Anyone who drinks this shot will receive damage to the vodka, because it is programmed for the deceased. And in general, the deceased does not need vodka - he needs prayer. The holy elders say that it burns the soul of the deceased. In general, commemorating a dead person with vodka is a great sin. You are dooming his soul to a bitter path. If you still want to remember the deceased, then pour vodka on the grave, at the feet. These stacks can no longer be used. If in the future someone drinks this vodka or another vodka from this glass, you can be sure that the person will be severely damaged by alcohol. And you will also hear from him: “I don’t want to drink, but something forces me.”
A person who has been damaged by vodka, like a carrier of the “virus,” infects his drinking buddies with this damage, turning the person into an aggressive, weak-willed and glass-dependent “zombie.” Therefore, the sooner loved ones start sounding the alarm and seek help, the easier it will be to get rid of such addiction.
If your mother or grandmother brewed and brews moonshine, then she “works” for the alcoholic demon, thereby causing a lot of evil to people (families break up, children suffer, cripples are born, many die). Other people's tears are not shed in vain. It’s not for nothing that people call moonshine the “green serpent.”
But God is merciful, and in every family a clan’s prayer book is born who is able to pray for his entire clan, often this understanding comes through troubles and illnesses, but if everything is done correctly, then the clan can be prayed for and our children and grandchildren will live in peace.
Sometimes at an appointment you can hear the question from patients: “Why did I, and not someone else from my family, fall under karma?” The answer is simple: someone in the family must be born as a man of prayer, he must atone for all the sins of the family. Such people often have troubles, frequent illnesses, and problems with children. As people say, life will force you, life will teach you.

Sealing is a church ceremony during which the priest reads a prayer over a handful of earth in the church, so that this earth can then be poured crosswise onto the grave or onto the coffin in the cemetery. There is a church rule that this “seals” a person in the grave so that his spirit does not walk the earth, the soul does not return to earth, but goes to God’s judgment and will not be returned to the ground until the Last Judgment.
This is done upon presentation of a certificate or death certificate. But how long can you do it skillfully? A fake certificate or an extra 300 rubles and you can seal a living person.
And this is damage to death. A person, depending on his strength, begins slowly or quickly approaches death. If a person is strong, he will continue to live, but he still develops problems with health, with work, and in relationships. He begins to lose strength, interest in life, and willpower. The classic damage to death also gives the same effect.
“Well-wishers”, like simple earth from a cemetery, can bring this same land to the doorstep of their victim, and at the same time, “sealed” earth is much more dangerous.
That’s why my godmother, when removing the damage, often says: “I unsealed it.”
What is printing? This is the work of unsealing. Sometimes the pests themselves tell their victims: “I sealed you (family, child).”
Here, the participation of the church in the process itself is important - they did it there, and there we go to finish it.”
A person not only needs, he is obliged to visit a temple, order a magpie for health, and receive communion.
And my job in this case is much more difficult. A “sealed” or inveterate person is deprived of his Guardian Angel. Why does the dead need a Guardian Angel? Logical. The Church is a mechanism, sometimes blind. Light a candle for a person's repose - he will get sick. During the wedding, say the name of the deceased instead of the name of the bride or groom - this will be a “wedding with the deceased.” This is how you drink a person or “seal” him and the egregor of the church will consider him dead.
Therefore, the patient or I need to pray that God will give a Guardian Angel to the person. I need to mentally, over and over again in my mind, visualize the image of this person rising from the grave, that the fire of God enters my soul.
An inveterate or “sealed” person develops a necrotic connection. It is this connection with the world of the dead that pumps strength out of a person. It is very important to remove this connection. I see and feel it - such people give off a chill. Non-psychics feel this too.
As an extreme case, a person needs to cross himself, that is, go through the rite of baptism again.
Overall, the work of unsealing is a difficult process and difficult work, but it can be done.
Strengthen your faith, your energy, and then little will hurt you. There are people for whom nothing works, I’ve met it myself – this is an innate feature of such people.
A funeral is a place where the spirit of the deceased is present, where the living and the afterlife come into contact. At a funeral you should be extremely careful and careful.

Funeral.
According to Christian rules, the deceased should be buried in a coffin. In it he will rest (keep) until the future resurrection. The grave of the deceased must be kept clean, respectful and orderly. After all, even the Mother of God was placed in a coffin, and the coffin was left in the grave until the day when the Lord called His Mother to Himself.
The clothes in which a person died should not be given to either one’s own or strangers. Mostly it is burned. If relatives are against this and want to wash their clothes and put them away, then that is their right. But it should be remembered that under no circumstances should these clothes be worn for 40 days.
The deceased is washed the same hour after death, until it has completely cooled down. Soap is usually left behind. It helps in many matters and from troubles. But you have to be careful, because using this soap can also cause harm to other people.
They usually dress in new clothes that are appropriate, neither too big nor too small. If there is no new clothing, then only clean ones are worn.
You should not wear clothes that have sweat and blood on them. This could lead to another death.
If a person, while still alive, asked him to wear what he wanted, then his wish must be fulfilled.
Military personnel are usually dressed in military uniform. Front-line soldiers ask to have orders put on them, because anyway they will lose them or be thrown out many years later, but they deserve them and are proud of them. In general, this is a purely personal family issue.
There must be a white blanket with which the deceased is covered. A crown with the image of Jesus Christ, the Mother of God, and John the Baptist is placed on the forehead. On the crown are words in the old style, this is the writing of the Trisagion Song. A cross or icon should be placed in your hands.
If it is not possible to invite a minister from the church, then take care in advance to invite older people to read psalms and serve a memorial service. Psalms are usually read without interruption. They are interrupted only during the funeral service.
Such prayers are a consolation for those who grieve for the dead. In addition, you should read this prayer:
Remember, Lord God, in faith and hope, the eternal life of Your servant, our brother (name), and as Goodness and love for mankind, forgive sins and consume untruths, weaken, forgive and forgive all his voluntary and involuntary sins, deliver him from eternal torment and fire Gehenna and grant him the communion and enjoyment of Your eternal good things, prepared for those who love You, even if they have sinned, but have not departed from You, and undoubtedly in the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, God glorified by You in the Trinity, faith and Unity in the Trinity and the Trinity in Unity , gloriously, even to his last sigh of confession.
Be merciful to him in the same way, and I believe in You. Instead of works of imputation, and with Thy saints, as generous, rest: for there is no man who will live and not sin. But You are the only God, besides One God of mercies and generosity, and love for mankind, and to You we send up glory, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now, ever and ever. Amen.
At the end of three days, it is necessary to take the deceased to church for a funeral service. But gradually they did not adhere to this, and the deceased spent the night at home not for three days, but for one night. Four candles are placed on the coffin in the corners, changing them as they burn.
All the time since the day of death there has been a glass of water and a piece of bread, millet is poured into a saucer. You need to be careful during a funeral. Usually relatives have no time for this. But you can stipulate who will keep order, since it is no secret that a lot is done at a funeral: they remove damage, put photos of enemies in the coffin, try to take hair, nails, strings from hands and feet, etc.
Under the pretext of “touching their feet”, so as not to be afraid, they do the necessary things. They ask for the stool on which the coffin stood, flowers from the wreath, and water. It's up to you to decide whether to give it all or not. Blood relatives should not wash the floor in the house where the deceased lay.
Relatives are not allowed to walk in front of the coffin, carry wreaths, or drink wine. It is allowed to lament and eat kutya or pancake after the burial.
At the cemetery they give the last kiss to the crown on the forehead and hands. Fresh flowers and an icon are taken from the coffin. Make sure that the icon is not buried.
People often ask whether it is possible to wear watches and gold. If you have already put on your watch, do not take it off for anything. There is no harm in the fact that a dead person has a watch on his wrist. But if you remove the watch from a dead hand, turn the hands back, and cast a spell on some person, then it won’t be that long of a wait until that person dies. Regarding jewelry: if you don’t mind, then there’s nothing wrong with wearing it on a deceased person.
When saying goodbye, the face is covered. The lid is hammered in and the coffin is lowered. Usually on towels. Towels are distributed to people. But it’s better not to take them, you might get sick.
The coffin is lowered so that the deceased lies facing east. They throw money into the grave, a payoff for the deceased: the relatives throw it first. Then they throw the earth. Not only a funeral service is necessary, but also commemorations, which are done upon returning from the cemetery and which are repeated on the third, ninth and fortieth day and every year.
If you realize you made a mistake during the funeral, be sure to tell her off!
My words are repeated, you are church domes, you are silver bells. An Tyn, Khaba, Uru, Cha, Chabash, you are dead spirits. Do not call to my world, but to your own world, do not look, do not seek. I will gird myself with the light of God. I will baptize myself with the Holy Cross. My Lord is Great. Now, forever. Forever and ever. Amen.
How to ask forgiveness from a deceased person during burial.
Sometimes it becomes necessary to rebury a deceased person. But it is unlikely that the one who conceived and executed it understands what act he is committing. People are accustomed to thinking of a dead person as some kind of object that does not see, hear or feel, and therefore, you can do whatever you want with him, without incurring any responsibility, and that any actions with the dead body will remain unpunished. But that's not true. The body is a vessel where, by the grace of Jesus Christ, the immortal soul of a deceased person resided for a long time. When the body of the deceased is buried, it finds its home, or, as they used to say, a home.
They also say that it is difficult for the deceased to get used to his new home. And only after forty days after the death of a person, when his soul leaves the earth forever, the body it left behind goes into the kingdom of spirits. The abandoned, motionless body is preparing to pass into decay. For it is said: from dust he came and to dust he will go.
A sacred place where, until the Day of Judgment, the flesh that carried blood, mind and soul is kept, the sacred peace that was earned by the one who left this world in which he loved, suffered, worked, endured pain, raised children .
You can talk an insane amount about each dead person and still say absolutely nothing.
Arriving at the cemetery and peering at the monuments, seeing the faces of living people, you want to scream: My God! After all, each of them is a whole world. And in each of them this world died...
So think about whether you should disturb the peace of the deceased by digging up his ashes touched by decay in order to transport them to another, from your point of view, better place. Better than?
You cannot make your soul cry again over a body that has been disturbed by people. May it rest in peace. In addition, if the spirit of the dead is disturbed and does not accept a new place, there will be trouble. The spirit of the dead will punish those who came up with the idea of burying the coffin in an elite cemetery.
If this does happen, you need to protect yourself from possible disaster.
At the new burial site, read this plot forty times. You have to read it while standing at the foot of the grave.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Keep, O Lord, the soul of Your deceased servant (name) in Your kingdom. Don’t let this dead soul walk on earth, don’t let this dead soul harm living souls. Saint Lazarus, did you walk on earth after death? And he walked the earth after death and never harmed living people. So that the soul of the deceased slave (name) no longer walks the earth and does not harm living people forever and ever. Key, lock, tongue. Amen.
You should leave the grave without looking back. At home, eat kutya and drink jelly.
Mark yourself with a cross and say a prayer to the Honorable Cross:
May God rise again, and may His enemies be scattered, and may those who hate Him flee from His presence. As smoke disappears, let them disappear; just as wax melts in the face of fire, so let demons perish from the face of those who love God and are marked by the sign of the cross, and in joy say: Rejoice, Most Honorable and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, drive away demons by the power of our drunken Lord Jesus Christ, who descended into hell and who trampled down the power of the devil, and who gave us His Honest Cross to drive away every adversary.
Oh, Most Honorable and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord! Help me with the Holy Virgin Mary and with all the saints forever. Amen.
From longing for the deceased.
Get up at night, go to the mirror and, looking into your pupils, say:
Don’t be sad, don’t grieve, don’t shed tears! Night Mother, take the melancholy away from me. As the dawn takes you away, so take away my melancholy. Now and ever and unto ages of ages.
After this, wash your face and go to bed. The next day you will feel better. Do this three times, and the melancholy will go away.
How to remove damage done at a funeral.
At night, burn incense on the coals, saying:
How this incense burns and melts so that it burns, and the grave illness disappears from the servant of God (name). Amen.
If a person turns his kutya over on himself.
From the letter: “For some time now I began to believe in omens, and how could I not believe them if I myself became an eyewitness to the fact that they come true. This is why I decided to write to you: a grandfather in our family died, and my aunt accidentally spilled the funeral kutya on herself, all the food they had prepared for the entire memorial! Kutya had to be cooked again, and my aunt died forty days after the funeral, day after day!”
Indeed, if during a funeral someone’s candle falls or a piece of bread and a glass of water placed for the deceased falls directly onto the lap of a sitting person, then this person will soon die.
If this, God forbid, happens, I advise, just in case, to reprimand the person out of trouble with a special spell that I give in this book.
Read the plot before sunrise:
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Soul, body, spirit and all five senses. I protect the soul, I protect the body, I release the Spirit, I protect the feeling. The Lord God gave the commandment, the Lord God protected him and said: “Evil will not come to you, the wound will not come close to your body.” My angels will sing about you, both on earth and in heaven. The true Lord spoke the truth. He sent a savior and guardian angel. Angel of God, throughout my life, hour by hour, day by day, save, preserve and have mercy on me. I believe in One Father and Son and Holy Spirit. Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
If the deceased was buried not at lunchtime, but after sunset, then exactly seven years later there will be a new coffin.
Children under one year of age are not taken to funerals and are not fed from the funeral table.
If at a funeral they give you part of the towel on which the coffin was lowered into the grave, do not take it. The towel should be left in the grave and not given to people. Whoever uses it will get sick.
Sometimes at a memorial service someone suggests singing the deceased person’s favorite song and everyone sings without hesitation. But it has long been noticed that those who sing at the funeral table soon begin to get sick, and those who have a weak guardian angel generally die early.
Do not borrow anything from a family where the deceased person has not been remembered for forty days. Otherwise, you will have a coffin in the same year.
According to custom, people sit around the coffin all night. Make sure that none of those sitting at the coffin sleeps or dozes. Otherwise, you will “sleep” another dead person. If something like this does happen, then it should be dismissed.
After the funeral, the bathhouse is not heated. On this day you should not wash yourself completely, just wash your face and hands. You should especially be wary of requests from strangers to wash themselves after a funeral in your bathhouse or bathtub.
Questions are often asked about commemorations that coincide with Lent. You need to know that commemorations in the first, fourth and seventh weeks of Lent are done only during fasting and strangers are never invited to the commemoration at this time.
It is a very bad omen when the first person carrying the coffin leaves the apartment with his back turned. You need to take care of this in advance and warn those who will carry the coffin so that they leave the apartment facing the exit, and not with their backs.
They don’t move the coffin in the house, they don’t find a convenient place for it. Think in advance about where to put it so you don’t have to move it from place to place.
ABOUT THE DECEASED AND FUNERALS.
How to see off a loved one on their last journey without harming yourself and your loved ones? Usually this sad event takes us by surprise, and we get lost listening to everyone and following their advice. But, as it turns out, not everything is so simple. Sometimes people use this sad event to harm you. Therefore, remember how to properly escort a person on his final journey.
At the moment of death, a person experiences a painful feeling of fear as the soul leaves the body. When leaving the body, the soul meets the Guardian Angel given to it during Holy Baptism, and demons. Relatives and friends of the dying person should try to ease his mental suffering by prayer, but under no circumstances should they scream or cry loudly.
At the moment of separation of the soul from the body, it is necessary to read the Canon of Prayer to the Mother of God. When reading the Canon, a dying Christian holds a lighted candle or a holy cross in his hand. If he does not have the strength to make the sign of the cross, one of his relatives does this, leaning towards the dying person and clearly saying: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me. In your hands, Lord Jesus, I commend my spirit, Lord Jesus, my spirit.”
You can sprinkle holy water on a dying person with the words: “Grace of the Holy Spirit, who has sanctified this water, deliver your soul from all evil.”
According to church custom, the dying person asks for forgiveness from those present and forgives them himself.
Not often, but it still happens that a person prepares his own coffin in advance. It is usually stored in the attic. In this case, pay attention to the following: the coffin is empty, and since it is made according to a person’s standards, he begins to “pull” it into himself. And a person, as a rule, dies faster. Previously, to prevent this from happening, sawdust, shavings, and grain were poured into the empty coffin. After the death of a person, sawdust, shavings and grain were also buried in the hole. After all, if you feed a bird with such grain, it will become sick.
When a person has died and measurements are taken from him to make a coffin, under no circumstances should this measurement be placed on the bed. It is best to take it out of the house and put it in a coffin during the funeral.
Be sure to remove all silver objects from the deceased: after all, this is precisely the metal that is used to fight the “evil ones.” Therefore, the latter can “disturb” the body of the deceased.
The body of the deceased is washed immediately after death. Washing occurs as a sign of the spiritual purity and integrity of the life of the deceased, as well as so that he appears in purity before the face of God after the resurrection. Ablution should cover all parts of the body.
You need to wash your body with warm, not hot water, so as not to steam it. When they wash the body, they read: “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us” or “Lord, have mercy.”
To make it more convenient to wash the deceased, an oilcloth is laid on the floor or bench and covered with a sheet. The body of a deceased person is placed on top. Take one bowl with clean water and the other with soap. Using a sponge dipped in soapy water, wash the entire body, starting from the face and ending with the feet, then wash with clean water and dry with a towel. Lastly, they wash the head and comb the deceased’s hair.
After washing, the deceased is dressed in new, light, clean clothes. They must put a cross on the deceased if he did not have one.
It is advisable that ablution takes place during daylight hours - from sunrise to sunset. Water after ablution must be handled very carefully. It is necessary to dig a hole far from the yard, vegetable garden and living quarters, where people do not walk, and pour everything, to the last drop, there and cover it with earth.
The fact is that very strong damage is done in the water in which the deceased was washed. In particular, this water can give a person cancer. Therefore, do not give this water to anyone, no matter who approaches you with such a request.
Try not to spill this water throughout the apartment so that those living in it do not get sick.
Pregnant women should not wash the deceased to avoid illness in the unborn child, as well as women who are menstruating.
As a rule, only elderly women prepare the deceased for his last journey.
Relatives and friends should not make a coffin.
It is best to bury the shavings formed during the manufacture of the coffin in the ground or, in extreme cases, throw them into water, but do not burn them.
The bed on which a person died does not need to be thrown away, as many do. Just take her out to the chicken coop and let her lie there for three nights so that, as the legend goes, the rooster will sing her song three times.
When a deceased person is placed in a coffin, the coffin must be sprinkled with holy water both inside and out, and you can also sprinkle it with incense.
A whisk is placed on the forehead of the deceased. It is given in the church at the funeral service.
A pillow, usually made of cotton wool, is placed under the feet and head of the deceased. The body is covered with a sheet.
The coffin is placed in the middle of the room in front of the icons, turning the face of the deceased with his head towards the icons.
When you see a dead person in a coffin, do not automatically touch your body with your hands. Otherwise, in the place where you touched, various skin growths in the form of a tumor may grow.
If there is a dead person in the house, then when you meet your friend or relatives there, you should greet with a bow of the head, and not with your voice.
While there is a dead person in the house, you should not sweep the floor, as this will bring trouble to your family (illness or worse).
If there is a dead person in the house, do not do any laundry.
Do not place two needles crosswise on the lips of the deceased, supposedly to preserve the body from decomposition. This will not save the body of the deceased, but the needles that were on his lips will definitely disappear; they are used to cause damage.
To prevent a heavy smell from coming from the deceased, you can put a bunch of dry sage at his head, popularly called “cornflowers”. It also serves another purpose - it drives away “evil spirits.”
For the same purposes, you can use willow branches, which are blessed on Palm Sunday and kept behind the images. These branches can be placed under the deceased,
It happens that a deceased person has already been placed in a coffin, but the bed on which he died has not yet been taken out. Acquaintances or strangers may come up to you and ask permission to lie on the bed of the deceased so that their back and bones do not hurt. Don't allow this, don't harm yourself.
Do not put fresh flowers in the coffin so that the deceased does not have a strong smell. For this purpose, use artificial or, as a last resort, dried flowers.
A candle is lit near the coffin as a sign that the deceased has moved to the realm of light - a better afterlife.
For three days, the Psalter is read over the deceased.
The Psalter is read continuously over the Christian’s tomb until the deceased remains unburied.
A lamp or candle is lit in the house, which burns as long as the deceased is in the house.
It happens that glasses with wheat are used instead of a candlestick. This wheat is often used to cause damage; it is also not allowed to bark poultry or livestock.
The hands and feet of the deceased are tied. The hands are folded so that the right one is on top. An icon or cross is placed in the left hand of the deceased; for men - the image of the savior, for women - the image of the Mother of God. Or you can do this: in the left hand - a cross, and on the chest of the deceased - a Holy image.
Make sure that someone else's things are not placed under the deceased. If you notice this, then you need to pull them out of the coffin and burn them somewhere far away.
Sometimes, out of ignorance, some heartbroken mothers put photographs of their children in the coffin of their grandparents. After this, the child begins to get sick, and if help is not provided promptly, death may occur.
It happens that there is a dead person in the house, but there are no suitable clothes for him, and then one of the family members gives his things. The deceased is buried, and the one who gave away his things begins to get sick.
The coffin is taken out of the house, turning the face of the deceased towards the exit. When the body is carried out, the mourners sing a song in honor of the Holy Trinity: “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.”
It happens that when a coffin with a deceased person is taken out of the house, someone stands near the door and begins to tie knots in rags, explaining that he is tying the knots so that no more coffins are taken out of this house. Although such a person has something completely different on his mind. Try to take these rags away from him.
If a pregnant woman goes to a funeral, she will do harm to herself. It's possible that a sick child will be born. Therefore, try to stay at home during this time, and it is necessary to say goodbye to someone close to you in advance - before the funeral.
When a dead person is being carried to a cemetery, do not cross his path under any circumstances, as various tumors may form on your body. If this happens, then you should take the hand of the deceased, always the right one, and move all your fingers over the tumor and read “Our Father.” This needs to be done three times, after each time spitting over your left shoulder.
When they carry a dead man in a coffin down the street, try not to look out of the window of your apartment. By doing this you will save yourself from troubles and will not get sick.
In the church, the coffin with the body of the deceased is placed in the middle of the church facing the altar and candles are lit on four sides of the coffin.
Relatives and friends of the deceased walk around the coffin with the body, bowing and asking for forgiveness for involuntary offenses, kissing the deceased for the last time (the corolla on his forehead or the icon on his chest). After this, the entire body is covered with a sheet and the priest sprinkles it with earth in a cross shape.
When the body and coffin are taken out of the temple, the face of the deceased is turned towards the exit.
It happens that the church is located far from the house of the deceased, then a funeral service is held for him in absentia. After the funeral service, the relatives are given a chaplet, a prayer of permission and land from the funeral table.
At home, relatives place a prayer of permission in the right hand of the deceased, a paper whisk on his forehead, and after saying goodbye to him, in the cemetery, his body, covered with a sheet from head to toe, as in a church, is sprinkled with earth in a cross shape (from head to feet, from the right shoulder to the left - to form a cross of the correct shape).
The deceased is buried facing east. The cross on the grave is placed at the feet of the buried person so that the crucifix is facing the face of the deceased.
According to Christian custom, when a person is buried, his body must be interred or “sealed.” Priests do this.
The ties that bind the hands and feet of the deceased must be untied and placed in the coffin with the deceased before lowering the coffin into the grave. Otherwise, they are usually used to cause damage.
When saying goodbye to the deceased, try not to step on the towel that is placed in the cemetery near the coffin, so as not to incur damage to yourself.
If you are afraid of a dead person, hold on to his legs.
Sometimes they may throw earth from a grave into your bosom or collar, proving that this way you can avoid the fear of the dead. Don't believe it - they do it to cause damage.
When the coffin with the body of the deceased is lowered into the grave on towels, these towels must be left in the grave, and not used for various household needs or given to anyone.
When lowering the coffin with the body into the grave, all those accompanying the deceased on his last journey throw a lump of earth into it.
After the ritual of committing the body to the earth, this earth must be taken to the grave and poured out in a cross shape. And if you are lazy, don’t go to the cemetery and take the soil for this ritual from your yard, then you will do very bad things to yourself.
It is not Christian to bury a dead person with music; it should be buried with a priest.
It happens that a person was buried, but the body was not buried. You must definitely go to the grave and take a handful of earth from there, with which you can then go to church.
It is advisable, in order to avoid any troubles, to sprinkle the house or apartment where the deceased lived with blessed water. This must be done immediately after the funeral. It is also necessary to sprinkle such water on the people who participated in the funeral procession.
The funeral is over, and according to the old Christian custom, water and something from food are placed in a glass on the table to treat the soul of the deceased. Make sure that small children or adults do not inadvertently drink from this glass or eat anything. After such a treat, both adults and children begin to get sick.
During the wake, according to tradition, a glass of vodka is poured for the deceased. Don't drink it if anyone advises you to. It would be better if you poured vodka on the grave.
Returning from a funeral, it is imperative to dust off your shoes before entering the house, and also hold your hands over the fire of a lit candle. This is done in order to prevent damage to the home.
There is also this type of damage: a dead person lies in a coffin, wires are tied to his arms and legs, which are lowered into a bucket of water located under the coffin. This is how they supposedly ground the deceased. Actually this is not true. This water is subsequently used to cause damage.
Here is another type of damage in which incompatible things are present - death and flowers.
One person gives another a bouquet of flowers. Only these flowers do not bring joy, but grief, since the bouquet, before being given, lay on the grave all night.
If one of you has lost a loved one or loved one and you often cry for him, then I advise you to get thistle grass in your house.
In order to miss the deceased less, you need to take the headdress (scarf or hat) that the deceased wore, light it in front of the front door and walk around all the rooms with it one by one, reading the “Our Father” aloud. After this, take out the remains of the burnt headdress from the apartment, burn it completely and bury the ashes in the ground.
It also happens: you come to the grave of a loved one to pull out the grass, paint the fence or plant something. You start digging and unearth things that shouldn't be there. Someone outsider buried them there. In this case, take everything you find outside the cemetery and burn it, trying not to get exposed to the smoke, otherwise you may get sick yourself.
Some believe that after death, forgiveness of sins is impossible, and if a sinful person has died, nothing can be done to help him. However, the Lord himself said: “And all sin and blasphemy will be forgiven to men, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven to men, neither in this age nor in the next.” This means that in the future life only blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. Consequently, through our prayers we can have mercy on our deceased bodies, but our loved ones who are alive in soul and who did not blaspheme the Holy Spirit during their earthly life.
A memorial service and home prayer for the good deeds of the deceased, performed in his memory (alms and donations to the church), are all useful for the dead. But commemoration at the Divine Liturgy is especially useful for them.
If you encounter a funeral procession on your way, you should stop, take off your headdress and cross yourself.
When they carry a dead person to a cemetery, do not throw fresh flowers on the road after him - by doing this you damage not only yourself, but also many people who step on these flowers.
After the funeral, do not visit any of your friends or relatives.
If they take the earth to “seal” the dead body, under no circumstances allow this earth to be taken from under your feet.
When someone dies, try to have only women present.
If the patient is dying seriously, then for an easier death, remove the feather pillow from under his head. In villages, the dying person is laid on straw.
Make sure that the deceased's eyes are tightly closed.
Do not leave a deceased person alone in the house; as a rule, elderly women should sit next to him.
When there is a dead person in the house, you cannot drink water in the neighboring houses in the morning, which was in buckets or pans. It must be poured out and freshly poured in.
When a coffin is made, a cross is made on its lid with an ax.
In the place where the deceased lay in the house, it is necessary to place an ax so that no more people die in this house for a long time.
For up to 40 days, do not distribute the deceased’s belongings to relatives, friends or acquaintances.
Under no circumstances should you put your pectoral cross on the deceased.
Before burial, do not forget to remove the wedding ring from the deceased. This way the widow (widower) will save herself from illness.
During the death of your loved ones or acquaintances, you must close the mirrors and not look into them after death for 40 days.
You can't let tears fall on your peace. This is a heavy burden for the deceased.
After the funeral, do not allow your loved ones, acquaintances or relatives to lie on your bed under any pretext.
When a deceased person is taken out of the house, make sure that none of those accompanying him on his final journey leave with his back turned.
After removing the deceased from the house, the old broom should also be removed from the house.
Before the last farewell to the deceased in the cemetery, when they lift the lid of the coffin, under no circumstances put your head under it.
The coffin with the deceased, as a rule, is placed in the middle of the room in front of household icons, facing the exit.
As soon as a person has died, relatives and friends must order the sorokoust in the church, that is, daily commemoration during the Divine Liturgy.
Under no circumstances listen to those people who advise you to wipe your body with the water in which the deceased was washed to get rid of pain.
If the wake (third, ninth, fortieth day, anniversary) falls during Lent, then in the first, fourth and seventh weeks of Lent the relatives of the deceased do not invite anyone to the funeral.
