The Christmas of Jesus Christ was like this: it happened on the hub of the predicted mother of his, the Mary's Mary Mary with Joseph, her husband and Already older (for he was eighty years old). The preching Virgin was given to him, according to the testimony of St. Gregory of the Nis and Holy Epiphany of the Cyprus under the guise of the marriage, so that he kept her virginity and cared for her. Even before they began to live together, it turned out that she had in the womb of the Holy Spirit. Joseph was an imaginary husband Mary, and in reality the keeper dedicated to the God of virgin purity and an eyewitness of her immaculate life. For the Lord was walked from the devil the secret of his incarnation from the Maiden Virgin, and for this, he covered the Mother's virginity with his marriage, so that the enemy did not know that this was the Virgin, about which Isaiah predicted: "CE, Virgo in the womb will accept" (). This is evidenced by St. Athanasius, the Archbishop of Alexandria, in the following words "Joseph was to serve as a sacrament, so that the Virgo, as if having a husband, was famous for, and that the most truth of things remained hidden from the devil, so that he did not know having to accomplish how God would be fraud stay with people "(word for christmas Christo). And Saint Vasily Great says: "The engagement with Joseph was accomplished in order to drag from the prince of this century (i.e. diazol) the embodiment of the Son of God" (the word for the Christmas of Christ). Saint John Damaskin: "Joseph is engaged by Mary as a husband, so that the devil does not know about the non-Merry Christmas from the Virgin, I stopped to excite Herod and incite the Jews to envy. For a devil from the very time when Isaiah predirence that "CE, Virgo in the womb will take and give birth" (), vigorously watched all the girls, as if who did not hurt them without her husband and did not give birth, remaining the virgin. God's watch arranged to engage the Virgin Mary with Joseph, so that the virgin of the Mother of Virgin, and the incarnation of God's words, was drawn in order for the prince of Darkness, and the marriage of marriage, the Maiden Virgin Mary turned out to be hazard from the Holy Spirit, and the holy womb increases Her pregnancy is especially discovered, when, after his three-month stay at Elizabeth, she returned to her house (), and the divine fruit was increased inside her every day, and the birthday of the baby Christ was more and more approaching. Seeing this, Joseph was in great perplexity and sadness, for he thought she broke the vow of the news. In the great embarrassment, the righteous elder said: "How could this happen? I did not know her and even thoughts did not sin against her, but she was pregnant. Alas, how did it happen? Who prevented her? And what should I do, I do not know. Do I replace her like a lawmaker, or silend for shame, which then falls at her and on me? If I'm hipged, then, of course, she will be broken by stones according to the law of Moiseev, and I will fall as if the tormentover who betrayed her to the loud death. If I am not subjected to it, I will be part with adulterers. What should I do? Perplexed. I will let go of her secretly, let her go, where he wants. Or I will leave it from her in the distant country, so that my eyes do not see such a thing. "Wondering how the righteous Joseph approached the Virgin Mary and told her how he was evidenced by Holy, Patriarch Jerusalem:" Maria, that Zrawal to you; For the honor, improving: For fun, sorrow: instead of a very praise, urcorizni brought ESI: from the Ieria from the church, it is impellenged with the arrivals, and what is the visible ". And the Saint Athanasius Alexandria tells about the same thing:" Joseph, seeing that Virgo Maria has in the womb, but not leading, what a great treasure inside it, in embarrassment so stuck it: "What happened to you, Maria? Isn't you a clean virgin, brought up in the sacred pieces of the temple? Not you Maria, I do not want to dress up On the face of husbands? Isn't you Maria, who the priests could not persuade to marry? Isn't you Mary who promised to save the Rosa of Our Nursing? Where is your chastity? Where is the hill, guarding your virgin purity? Where is your going face? I'm ashamed, And you feel coughing, I pull out your sin. " When Joseph spoke all this to her, then, as I was ashamed of a unwair, imperceptive blueberries, chaste Virgo, blushing in his face from such words Iosific! She did not bother to open him about the evangelism, who brought her the archangel and about the prophecy that Elizaveta said about her, - she didn't dare to do this because he was afraid to seem vague and loving praise. The aforementioned Holy Athanasius testifies to the aforementioned Saint Athanasius, which is moored in the mouth of her words to Joseph: "If I tell you about myself, I will show you vanity. Be patient a little, Joseph, and the shepherd will open you about me." The Virgin of Maria Joseph said only in response to his perplexity: "Lord alive, keeping me by Donyn in immaculate news, for I did not know sin, no one touched me, and the fact that in me, from the Woman's want and in God's action" . Joseph, as a person, thought humanly and suspected that her conception was happening from sin. But, being righteous, he did not want to replace her, and wanted to go secret secretly, or (as written in the Sirskiy translation) he conceived secretly to leave her, that is, to get away from her somewhere far away. When he thought it was, here the angel of the Lord in a dream came to him, saying "Joseph, the son of Davids, do not be afraid to take Mary, your wife." Angel because he calls the virgin Joseph's wife to disprove the thought of his adultery (for Joseph thought Mary was conceived from adultery). Angel, as it were, told Joseph: "Wife's engaged to you, and not belonging to a different husband." About the blessed Feofilakt says so: "Angel calls Mary's wife Joseph, showing it that he did not defile himself with another. And also because together with the news and the legitimate marriage" so argues and Saint Vasily Great: "Angel called Maria and the Devoy, and a handicraft husband, to honor, and marriage not to crocate. The news was elected as necessary for Holy Birth, and the engagement that is the beginning of marriage was committed by law in order not to think anyone that birth happened From lawlessness, as well as for Joseph to be the always witness to Maryan purity, so that she was not subjected to complaints for the fact that they would define the lament. She had (in the face of Joseph) a hoop, who witnessed and the keeper of her life "( Word for christmas Christo). Angel says Joseph: "Do not be afraid to take your marriage wife." These words mean "admission to his wife to enshrove, and the masses of her vow, given to God (so explain the St. Gregory Nissky and Blessed Jerome), for it is the first in the Israeli people of Virgo, who promised God to keep their virginity to the most opposite. But Fear, because the born in it is from the Holy Spirit. The son will give birth, and give the name to him, - you will not be named as a father, although you did not participate in his birth, because the fathers usually give names to their children, like Abraham called the Son of His Isaac () So you, although you are not Natural, but only an imaginary father of the baby, will serve as a name for him, blinded by him. "Blessed Feofilakt says Joseph, on behalf of the angel:" Although you didn't have any participation in the birth of a baby, but I want to give you this San (Otchechnaya ) So that you make him a name and name, you will call him a name, although he is not your birth, through it you will make him what is characteristic of Father. What is the name? Jesus, what does the Savior mean, for he will save their people from their sins. "Joseph, getting out of his sleep, did the same as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and accepted his wife, who was engaged to him, who was a defiantly devote, dedicate to the Lord through Vinda Nam and Mother Lord, conceiving the Savior of the world from the Holy Spirit. He accepted her as his wrap, with love, giving her a great honor as the Lord's Verine, and she serves her with reverence and fear as the Savior's mother. (), i.e ( The withdrawal of the Feofilact) never found her as his wife for how he could, being righteous, know her who was given to him from the temple of the Lord not for marriage, but for the storage of her virgin under the guise of marriage? How could he touch the girl of the Lord, which I promised God Eternal Normal? How could he touch his forepathers of his Lord and the Creator? And the fact that the Gospel says: docona Rodila- this is the usual expression of the Scripture that consumes the word "Dockey" In the sense of the endless time. For David says: said to my Lord to Lord: "SENDING FOREST ME, DONE TO PUBLIC ENEGES OF YOU IN THE FOOD OF HOUSE" (). There is no idea that the Lord - the Son only Dotole will sit ones the sides of the Lord - Father, did not put his enemies to the foot of his legs; But the one that after the enemies will be conquered under his feet, the Lord - the Son will still sit and see the winner, as a winner, in the infinite century. Similarly, she is written about the Holy Joseph: "And did not know her, the current gave birth" () - not in the sense, as if he should have learned it, as some heretics thought, what the teaching is alien to the Orthodox Church; But in the sense that at the birth of such a son, which was God embodied, and after such a great miracles who were committed during the Christmas of him, whom Joseph was Self-Father, pious this elder not only did not bother to touch her, but also deeply read her like Slave Mrs. His, serving her like Mother of God with fear and trepidation. About the word "doconst" Saint Feofilak talks like this: "Scripture usually says, as well as about the flood, it says: "Will will not return to the ark, the water will not disappear from the earth" (), And the raven and then did not return. And Christ says: "I am with you all the days before the protrusion of the century" (). But doesn't it be with us on the protrusion of the century? On the contrary, then even more, in endless eyelids, he will be with us. So here it says: Docona Rodila. That Joseph did not know the Most Holy Nem before birth, nor after the birth of Christ, just like the Lord and in the continuation of the century, and in the condance of the century there will be relentlessly with us. And how could Iosif touch the Muslim Virgin, after he learned about the ineracted birth from her the Savior? "

The immaculate virginity of the Maternal Virgin and in Christmas, the Savior clearly opens and from the fact that when Joseph began to doubt the pregnant maiden's pregnant girl and even thought whether she was not devastating for the Nasility, - then the angel came to him and called Maria his wife: do not be afraid, he said, accept Maria, my wifeAnd this denied his opinion about adultery (as it was also said above). When the same angel was Joseph already after the Nativity of Christ in Bethlehem and in Egypt, when this righteous elder has already received a revelation of the purity of Maryan and Bogomladden, who is born from the Holy Spirit, - then the angel does not already call him the Mary Maria his wife, but only matter Born, for so written in the Gospel: when the Magheli moved away, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream Joseph and says: "Stand up, take the baby and his mother (and not my wife) And run to Egypt " (). And again in Egypt, Angel Joseph: "Get up, take a baby and my mother and go to the land of Israel" (), explicitly showing it that he was not married by Joseph, but for the ministry of the baby and his mother. So Joseph not only did not know Mary as his wife as long as she gave birth to the son of her firstborn, but after the birth of the Bogomladse, she remained nonsense, as all the great church teachers testify.

After this, the impermanent parent and an unusual minister of his newborn baby, a ripeful child of his linen, white, clean, thin shoes, cooked in advance for this and from Nazareth brought, and, putting him in the manger, who were in the same cave, bowed to him as God and the creator of his own, what the Blessed Joseph is remembered, the Cabin Canon, when he addresses the final virgin with such words: "Announced Schrookovitsa, and the Human Loves, Hands, Hands and Plugging and Lyobovy Matnis: Choo, Glagolala, the Sweet, Tako Tao Sita I hold all the creature trembling the hand. It is reliable that Bogotrokovitsa bowed to the Earth born from her, lying in the manger, and they were surprised to surprise invisible Angelic ranks. And the ox and donkey were tied to the nursery, the Scripture was fulfilled in order: will knows his own master, and Donkey Nurserie Mr. His (). And these ox and donkey were given by Joseph of Nazareth. Donkey was given to the sake of a pregnant Virgin to carry her on himself during the way, and the will led Joseph to sell him and give proper tribute to the command of Caesar, as well as to buy everything necessary for himself. Both of these wonderful animals, standing in the manle, was warmed by their breath, on the occasion of the then winter time, and thus served her lord and the Creator. Joseph also bowed and born, and gave birth, for he then knew that he was born from her - from the Holy Spirit, as he was talking to St. Athanasius: "Trulya did not know her Joseph, until she born her son of her firstborn, until she gave birth While Virgo was conceived by her, did not know her Joseph, he did not lead that in her, he did not know what she was committed. When she gave birth, then he knew him; then I was knowing Joseph about the Virgin, what was her power, and Who she thought of becoming. Then he knew, seeing the virgin, the nipples nourishing and at the same time storing the rapid color of the lady. Then he learned when Virgo gave birth, but did not experience what it was characteristic of herds. Then he learned that the stone did not know the nipples Spiritual stone. Then ISAIA wrote about her: "CE, Virgo in the womb will accept". These words of St. Athanasius certify that at that time I was knowing the Joseph's power of the sacrament and, disaveted, bowed with fear and joy, thanks to the embodied God, who prevented him to be selflessness and the minister of this secret. - Regarding the time of the Nativity of Christ, many reliable writers say that this was midnight, following Saturday and preceding the day of the weekly week, and this news is consistent with the VI Ecumenical Cathedral, which explains the celebration of the week of weekly (Sunday): "For that day, God created Light, on the same day, the Lord fagged to be born; on the same day he accepted baptism in Jordan from John, on the same day the premiest Redeemer of the human race, our for the sake of salvation, from the dead was resurrected, on the same day he had a breath of Holy Spirit for students His ". For, how, according to the reliable news, he was conceived in the virgin womb during the Annunciation on Friday and on Friday, he suffered, so on the day weekly he was born and the next day. And it was decently to be born a day weekly, in which God said: "Yes, there will be light" (); and in which "There was light" () On the same day she liked that he himself, the light is appropriating, the world. And the fact that Christ had to be born at night and in his known hour, the prophetic prophetically was predetermined in the book of Wisdom Solomonova, where it says: "For, when everything was surrounded by a quiet silence, and the night reached the middle, went out of heaven from the royal thrones on Most of the deceased land is an all-fat word yours like a formidable warrior "(). Great miracles were accomplished in the Universe during the Nativity of Christ. So, at that age, in which our Lord went through the virgin gates, imprinted by purity, suddenly in that cave expired from the stone the source of water, and in Rome, the source of \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\UOUT EXTERNAL IN ROME. The temple Idolsky, nameable for eternal, collapsed; Idolas crushed, and in the sky was there three suns. And in Spain, the cloud of the lighter sun was on the same night, in the Jewish country vineyards, the Vineyards were blooming, despite the winter time. Especially wonderful was what was described in the Gospel when the angels came down from heaven with a chant and clearly appeared before people. It happened so. Against the cave in which Christ was born, according to the testimony of the blissful Jerome, there was a very high tower, called the Aer, in which the shepherds of herds lived. There, that night, three of them accidentally walked and erased their herd, and here the supreme among the forces of the Heavenly Angel (which, according to St. Cyprian, was holy Blagovetand, Gabriel) appeared to them in the great radiance, the blistering of heavenly Gleovoy, who he was talked; Seeing him, they were very frightened. But the appeared angel, who had led them to leave fear and not be afraid, gave them about the joy that came for the whole world through the Christmas Savior. At the same time, he pointed to them and the sign of the truth of his evangelism: "Rebel", he said, "Baby in pellets lying in the manger. While the angel spoke it to them, suddenly heard the singing of many heavenly worms, glorified God and chanting themselves: "Glory to the Welcome to God, on Earth the world, in humans in goodies" (); After this angelic phenomenon and singing of the forces of heaven, shepherds, consulting with each other, went hastily in Bethlehem to see if the words of the angel were true, and they went and saw the Mary Mary Mary Mary and St. Joseph, her wrap, as well as a sneeled babe, lying in nursery. And having believed that this is Christ, the Lord, the expected Messiah, who came to save the human race, they bowed to him and told everything that they saw and heard, and what was said to them from Angel about Sez Baby. And all the hears (Joseph, Salomia and those who at that time came there) were divided by the words of shepherds, especially the preching Mother Material, who had a painlessly born, complied with all these words, who was in his heart in his heart. And the shepherds have grown up, the famous praise of God. So the Christmas of Jesus Christ was accomplished, our Lord, who and the sinners, will be honored and glory, worship, thanksgiving, with the original father and with a preparing spirit, now and are confused, and forever. Amen.

Near the sole of the mountain happens to Joseph, and next to it - a human figure, whose value is explained in different ways: a) this is a person who came to congratulate Joseph with the birth of a child; b) This is a demon either a person driven by the demon, the silent Joseph, they say, born child - not from the Spirit, and from the unplanful Socytia Mary with a sinner.

To the right of Joseph (sometimes on the contrary, to the left) - the ablution scene of the Bogoblast (Christ is represented on the icon twice), testifying that the baby is truly the briefly embodied the Son of God. This iconographic certificate is directed against the heresie of the doctors, according to which the Son of God was not true, but ghostly, and hence he was not a perfect person (but only wore a man's larva, seemed man).

On the right slope of the mountain (if you look from the outside observer, the Bogomolets), the shepherds, who came to bow the baby, as an angel () appeared to the word.

On the left slope of the mountain - Magi. They are presented in the form of riders.

At the top of the icon, and sometimes near the cave itself - the angels of God

In the upper part, the celestial sphere from which the beam is pouring into a small sphere, inside which is a star, and then consigned by sidier. Beam is a symbol of divine action. The unity of the beam is a symbol of what God is one and its action is one (stems from his father through his son and manifests itself in the Holy Spirit). Star inside a small sphere - the image of the Bethlehem star. The discrepancy between the beam is symbolizes that God is threefold in faces.

The abundance of light on the icon is a symbol of abundant outpouring.

Liturgical (liturgical) features

Performed holiday service (software).

In some Orthodox churches, a festive worship is performed at night (after 23:00), in others - in the morning. Therefore, it is recommended to call the temple in advance and clarify the schedule, to find out whether the confession will be performed in your temple on the holiday. Do not forget about the Eucharist post if you are going to communion.

The whirlpool consists of a great vortex with lithium, uterine and 1st hour. For the utensils, two canona: Holy Cosma of Mauman and St. John Damascina.

The festival itself serves Liturgy John Zlatoust. If he falls on Sunday or Monday, - Vasily of the Great, as the Liturgy of John Zlatoust has already been done on the eve. Instead of ordinary pictorial psalms, solemn festive antifons are singing; Instead of the triswy - "Elitsa in Christ is baptized ..."; Instead, "worthy there is" - "Muchy, my soul, a honest and sorry ... Love us ..." (IRMOS 9th songs of the 2nd canon).

In accordance with the decree of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill (2014), "Given the special missionary importance of festive worship, on the day of the Nativity of Christ in all the temples of the Russian Orthodox Church, it is blessed annually to commit Divine Liturgy with the holes of the royal gates on our own ...".

By tradition, in many temples on the release of liturgy in the middle of the church in front of the holiday icon, the tropari of the holiday, "Glory, and now" - the Kondak of the holiday and the grade of the holiday.

Casual test

photo of the day

Christmas is Christo - the favorite holiday, washed with light and joy. It concluded so much warmth, kindness and love that I want to reconcile these feelings along with gifts to friends and loved ones. But sometimes it turns out that they celebrate this event at all on another day. How is this possible? When Christmas needs to be celebrated, and what are the diverting? We will try to figure out.

history of the holiday

The Gospel says: Jesus was born in Bethlehem, where his mother Maria with Joseph was set off to take part in the declared census of the population. Because of the influx of visitors, all hotels were busy, so they had to sit in the cave, which served as a hlevar for livestock. It was there that the son of God was born. The news of his birth Angel brought the shepherds who hurried to him on the bow. Another banner of the Messiah was delightful that he lit in the sky and pointed out the way to the wipe. They brought the baby's gifts - incense, Smyrna and Gold - and honored him as the king of Juda.

First celebration

Surprisingly, but nowhere have exact evidence about when Christmas has come on a calendar, that is, the exact date is not specified. For this reason, the first Christians did not even celebrate this holiday. The appearance of the date itself - from January 6 to January 7 - Copda, Egyptian Christians contributed, they have faith in God who is born, dying and resurrected, existed since ancient times. It is from them, from Alexandria, the Center for Knowledge and Sciences, a tradition to celebrate this event on these days has spread to the entire Christian world, and initially all followers of Jesus celebrated the Christmas and Epiphany at the same time. But in the 4th century, the Roman Empire suffered a celebration on the occasion of the occurrence of the Messiah on December 25. Not all were followed by this example, for example, it remains the faithful ancient tradition to celebrate two holidays at the same time.

Calendar Peripetia

Further events have developed in such a way that in the XVI century Gregory VIII, who was at the time on the papal throne, introduced his summer, which was called the "New Style". Before that, in the go, he was introduced by Julia Caesar, the definition of the "old style" was fixed behind it. Now the difference between them has 13 days.

Europe after his spiritual shepherd went to a new calendar, and Russia did it only after the victory of the revolution in 1917. But the church such innovation did not approve and remained at his own pressure.

There was another interesting event: in 1923, the Cathedral of Orthodox Churches initiated by Constantinople Patriarch, corrections were made to the Julian calendar: there was a "Novoyulian" calendar, which is still completely coincided with the Gregorian. Representatives of Russia because of the political situation at the meeting were not present, the attempts of the then Patriarch Tikhon would lead to the decision of the majority were not crowned with success, therefore, the Yulian Sauchivenis is still in the strength.

When celebrating Christmas different groups of Christians?

The result of the spread of various systems of the summer has become confusion with dates. As a result, adherents of the Vatican and Protestants are celebrated when the 25th is replaced on December 24. With them, these dates of 11 local Orthodox churches are honored with them, but they are checked with their, Novyulian, calendar.

From January 6 to January 7, Christmas comes for the Russian, Georgian, Ukrainian, Jerusalem, Serbian Orthodox churches, Afonov monasteries, recognizing only the old style, many Catholics of the Eastern Rite and part of Russian Protestants.

It turns out that everyone celebrates the emergence of the son of God's Son on December 25, but everyone does it in its calendar.

Christmas Eve: Orthodox Traditions

January 6 is a special day, Christmas Eve. He is customary to call the Christmas tree. In the evening of this day, the christmas whipping, lasting for about three hours begins. Typically, the whole family is going to church. It is after completion of the service comes the moment when it starts officially. Believers congratulate each other and hurry home for a festive table.

Traditionally, the Christmas Eve was not accepted before the appearance of the first star or church service. But after that, at least festive, but lean dishes were put on the table. Among the other edible range, it was specially a special place, or Kusta, - wheat porridge or rice with honey, nuts and poppy. She was prepared only on this Christmas night.

The Christmas Eve was decorated, dressed up and put gifts under it, to touch which could be only after a festive dinner. The family was then gathered at the Green Beauty, and someone from the children distributed to all souvenirs intended for them. The received gift unfolded and showed it to everyone, thanked.

The evening was made to devote close, family, but it was possible to invite single people together to meet the holiday and divide the meal.

Folk beliefs

Evening Eve was considered a favorable time for all sorts of forecasts for the future. Before dinner, it was customary to go out and "watch stars", which, thanks to various signs, could tell about the upcoming crop, and therefore about the well-being of the family. So, the blizzard foreshadowed that the bees would swar well. And the Starry Night promised a good rack of livestock and the abundance of forest berries. Ons on the trees was a harbingers of a successful crop of grain.

Before the meadow, the owner was supposed to get around the pot of the buns around the house three times and then throw away several porridge spoons for the threshold - a treat for perfume. To draw "Frost", the doors opened for him and invited to the table.

I did not eat up to the end, they left spoons in it, which was a symbolic tribute to the poor.

First day of the holiday

On January 7, the Christmas of Christ began to celebrate with all the latitude of the soul. After the morning Liturgy, Orthodox sent each other to visit. The festive rapid table was broken from the spreadsheet, he was not cleaned, because familiar who came out to congratulate the owners, constantly changed. It was considered a good tradition to visit all relatives, especially those who old and alone.

Catholic customs

According to Western Christians, no one in the Christmas night should remain without a gift. The main donor was Saint Nikolai (Santa Claus). He distributed gifts a very remarkable way: she laid out them in socks and hanging out over the fireplace, and then disappeared into the pipe itself.

Preserved the custom of bonds when children and young people went from home to home with songs. At the same time, the acts participants snapped into various costumes and masks. In gratitude for congratulations and good wishes, adults gave them sweets.

Another holiday attribute is "Christmas Bread" - these are special freshwater clouds covered during Advent. They were knocked out when Christmas was celebrated at the festive table or during congratulations to each other.

Not only spruce, but also other species of trees could be performed as a festive decoration. In addition, the house was decorated with special wreaths from twigs and colors, which were a symbol of the sun.

Christmas is Christo - a wonderful holiday warmed by the warmth of loved ones and the love of God, who allowed to make this miracle. Maybe so I want to deliver a pleasant to those who are near. After all, it is not so important when Christmas comes for certain people, the main thing is that it comes and updates the human soul.

January 7 marked the new life of all mankind. Now the worship of pagan idols remained in the past. No more human sacrifices in favor of these gods. To date, the only "sacrifice", who, who, applied by the Orthodox Christian, is a candle and sincere prayer.

The history of the holiday is covered with riddles, as he is one of the oldest on earth. Meanwhile, there are facts that are accurately installed in modern science and are practically not subject to doubt. Agree: imagine that this day was ever not honored - difficult. But, meanwhile, there were such times. To understand how it was, you need to plunge into an exciting and mysterious world of history.

5. The first who decided to congratulate Christ, and all the people, were simple shepherds who came an angel, who onceed them about the greatest joy: the Savior came to Earth, and everyone who tries to him, and will stick to his commandments, will receive a chance to save His soul and blissful paradise life for all centuries. Shepherds presented the baby's gifts, and they hurried and wise men (Magi. It was on them that they were entrusted to notify people about the birth of the child of God.

And in order to emphasize the entire idleness of this moment, they were taken for such a long-awaited festive meal. But she, necessarily, was lean. The table was incredibly rich. And it should have been standing, certainly 12 dishes.

It is believed that the table should be made of dishes from all fruits, vegetables existing in the farm, so that next year they richer are even richer.

How to cook the christmas kun.

In ancient times, to prepare this unique dish, the whole family was taken. Each her dick, from Mala to Great, a few evenings in a row, moved wheat to use only the best grains in the cooking process. A little more than wheat used barley.
Modern Cage is usually preparing from rice, but recipes in which wheat and barley are used - return to us gradually. The dish is supplied to the table, filled with poppy and bees honey. Sometimes it was filled and full. This is also honey, only divorced. It is not as sweet and much more liquid.

Machine milk began to add to the Buck later. In fact, it is not milk, in its pure form, but a pre-sparkled and carefully dismissible poppy.
In the event that there is no honey, you can simply add sugar to the dish. Also, the edge of modern cooking is raisins and nuts in the curb. Previously, only nuts could add, who had them.
Recipes for making this dish - a great set. We give one of the most popular used by our ancestors.
It uses wheat or barley grains, pre-pounded in a wooden stage. But, they should not be fragmented. The main task is to remove the husk, which they are covered.
Further, these grains were covered in the pot, poured with water and put in the stove. There were cooked until readiness.
Ideally, if the water, after that, did not need to merge, that is, it was completely digealed.
The finished grain was filled with a Uzerar from dried fruits: pears, apples, plums, sometimes - Apricot fruits. The grain is declined by MISS separately, the Uzvar is added there, you can put a spoonful of honey. The grain can be poured and full.
In modern interpretation of Kuti, she is added to it, raisins, sugar instead of honey (but not necessarily.
January 7 - Light Christmas of Christ.

On the first day of Christmas, 7 numbers, the early lunch was put on the table. Meat dishes were allowed in unlimited quantities.
However, everyone knew that it was impossible to abuse - it is impossible, as the gastrointestinal tract should be rebuilt under the new power supply after such a long post. Blood and meat sausage, porridge with hot, fat with buoy and so on. At lunch on the table should have been standing for some one (at least) a dairy dish. It could be a vermicellie with milk.
Some of the church services were serving, and after - went on guests. At night, sleep is a non-disabilities, it applies precisely to the Christmas night. Why? It was believed that who would fall asleep, he could sleep all his happiness and good luck. But, it was not particularly sleeping and at all desire: carols under the windows, the ringing of church bells, noise and gams, talk about the bright holiday of people returning from service (from the church)!
In bright Christmas, it was necessary to have fun and enjoy, spending time in a family circle, and then visiting. And, which is extremely important, forgive any insults, releaseing them and no longer remembering. Only joy, because the son of God was born.
By the way, all the customs and traditions that were mentioned above are preserved, in one form or another, until today. And soon it will be time to remember again. After all, the Christmas holidays - on Konou.
Fortune telling on the night before Christmas.

Wondered at this time everywhere. And even though the church officially forbidden to do this, such a practice did not lose its popularity. And did not lose to this day.
The most common was fortune-onions in the name of their narrowed, fortune-telling with a gold ring, with a comb, with glasses, fortune telling with a cat, with a rooster and so on. And each of them is a whole rite having a lot of features. We give an example of one of them.
Fortune telling on the sulfur on the bulbs. Before Christmas night, a week before her, the girl took a few bulbs, on each of which made a mark with the initials of the candidate. Put them in the water. And during the fortune telling, at night, whispered above the bow: "Onions - Lucky, whisper to me who is my groom?" Then the size of the processes was measured. The longest, with the initials, and pointed to the groom.

Christmas Christ for children

Christmas Christ is one of the main Christian holidays. In the Catholic Church, he is celebrated on December 25, and in Orthodox - January 7th. On this day, temples are decorated, the priests wear the best and elegant rhesis, all lamps are lit in the temples.

Before Christmas, there is a strict post for making a meeting of this holiday. Day before christmas is called Christmas Eve. Orthodox believers on this day do not eat anything until the evening, waiting for the appearance of the first star in the sky. This is due to one of the episodes of the birth of a small Christ.

When he was born in a cave near the city of Bethlehema, a bright stars immediately shine in the sky. On it everyone learned about the appearance of the Savior in the world. The wise men in the East, when they saw this new stars that appeared in the sky, went to Bethlehem to worship the Savior. So this is told in church books.

At Christmas in houses are lit candles on Christmas trees and everyone congratulates each other with the birth of Christ, who came to earth to save the world from sins.

Previously, Christmas was celebrated on January 6, together with baptism and the Epiphany, and only in the 4th century it was postponed on December 25 at Catholics and on January 7 - in Orthodox.

Christmas of Christ the history of the tradition of the tradition. On the right holiday title: Christmas or cities

Writing and pronunciation of the word "Christmas" will be varied in Old Russian and modern traditions. In the old developer liturgical tradition and at the Old Believers today, the name "Renship" (without the letter "D") was adopted. In the old-line books, the beginning of the festive path is read like this:

P holdway your HRTE B9E NAS

At the same time, the sound of the Church was added in modern Russian and the post-Sales (Nikonian) church and was commonly used by the name "Christmas". We present the comments of the Old Believer Priests on this issue:

Announces Ieria John Sevastyanov, the abbot of the Old Believer Temple in Rostov-on-Don:

Rodium is the church-Slavic tradition of writing this word. Among the Old Believers there is a certain tendency to maintain this transcription. Although it is optional. The connected, alternating, dual consonants in the root of the Word is the influence of the West Slavic tradition.

Commented on Ieria John Kurbatsky, the abbot of the Old Believers Temple in Kaluga:

The word "cities" is written under Title, like other sacral words (God, Lord, the Virgin, etc.). In worship, we say it as it is written in books and as accepted in the Old Russian tradition, without "d". At the same time, "D" we pronounce in many other cases: "The GIRD is nimous than the radius of Razh ...", "Issue Razh dzhsya in Bethlehem in June ...", "from the Virgin Razh D AZH ...", etc.

Interestingly, "D" in church-Slavic language is surrounded sometimes where it is not in modern Russian. In the canon the Annunciation, we read the words embedded in the mouth of the Mother of God: "Why a son?". In addition to the "Lenches", you can give examples of other words with a combination of letters "LDG" (approval, hope, before, condemnation). In the liturgical books you can meet their writing in different ways: and with the letter "d" and without it. We read as written in the book. So, we can safely congratulate people with the rozing of Christ, and on prayer to pronounce "Rhilan" according to the Old Russian tradition. The new facilities completely abandoned this archaic phonetic form, as well as changed the utterance of many other words (the forerunner instead of pre-project, Nikolai instead of Nikola, etc.). "

The history of the Christmas holiday of Christ is brief. Brief history of the Nativity of Christ

The history of the Church of Christ knows a lot of discrepancies with the true teachings of the apostles, it was expressed in distorting common theology and, as a result, the very doctrine of Christ was distorted. It also became the reason that the holiday separated from the general celebration of the award, which combined three events in himself, and Christmas was introduced separately.

The holiday branch occurred in the IV century under Julia's dad. Having established the date of the celebration on December 25, the church created counterweights the cult of the Sun, which the pagans celebrated on this day. The celebration was so popular that even Christians took part in it, sin thus against the second commandment. Thus, the introduction of the holiday of Christmas Christ replaced the pagan tradition of the celebration of the winter solvent and drew the hearts of people to the true God.

The day for the holiday was extremely symbolic and natural - after all, the symbol of the Sun, like no other, confuses the memories of Christmas events, as Christ is the sun of the truth, the world, the winner of death - how to call him the apostles.

According to the great Christian minds of world values, such as John Zlatoust, Blessed Augustine, St. Kirill Alexandria and others - Christmas Date on December 25 really has a high historical accuracy in calculating the Day of the Nativity of Christ.

The introduction of the Church from the Nativity of Christ occurred in 525 and is associated with the meaning it had for all of humanity. Two era - before the Nativity of the Messiah, until the ability of the eternal life and forgiveness of sins, and after. Monk Dionysius Small, who calculated the events to put them as the basis of the new calendar, made a mistake with the calculations - to be accurate, now for 4 years earlier than what is considered and the current time account has this error. But the event, however, remains the main thing in the history of mankind - which is why the summer is conducted from the Nativity of Christ.

The history of the Christmas holiday of Christ is even briefly for children causes interest not only for them, but also in adults. This interest is not disappearing for 2000 years. Hearing the name of Jesus Christ to forget him will not work. The earlier the children talk about the Son God, for which he was born, the following, it will be easier for them to understand and feel how much God loves people.

Hearing the name of Jesus Christ to forget it will not work

The history of christmas Christ for children

For children, a brief history of the Christmas holiday of Christ is necessary to tell adapted to remember the meaning of the celebration and the meaning of this day. What is the peculiarity of the birth of Jesus Christ and why this kid became the most famous person in the whole world.

If you are parents feed, you can tell the brief history of the Nativity of Christ in such a format:

Once on Earth, a special boy was born. His mother, Virgo Mary, called the baby Jesus. A bright star in the sky, hesitated the world about his birth. The star was so unusual that three ancient scientists decided to go to the place of which she shined and find out what the event was happening there. When they came there, they saw that in a small cave, next to Mom, in the manger on the Seine there was a baby and they understood that the prediction of the birth of the Savior for all people came true. Jesus Christ was born so.

The arrival in the world of Jesus was accompanied by a bright celestial phenomenon - a moving star in heaven

Below is a brief history of the Nativity of Christ for schoolchildren.

The history of the holiday of Christmas Christ began a long time ago, 2,000 years ago. This day is celebrated every year on January 7th. The night before Merry Christmas is the most magical. It is called Christmas Eve. On this day there are songs that glorify the birth of a mission.

The arrival in the world of Jesus was accompanied by a bright celestial phenomenon - a moving star in the sky, which was visible from everywhere. It was called the Bethlehem Star, by the title of the town, near which Jesus was born. She helped find the birthplace of Jesus Christ Three Maghevam.

Volkhivi These were ancient magicians, magicians, in those days their opinion was the main thing for ordinary people and for the kings. History has kept the names of these Magi: Kaspar, Melchior and Valtasar. As it should be on a birthday, they brought the baby to the Gifts (gifts), thereby recognizing that the little Jesus is a special person and it lies an important saving mission for all people. In those days, gold, Ladan and Smyrna were considered the most valuable gifts.

Magi these were ancient magicians

Mama Jesus Christ is the name of Maria. She was also an unusual person, because it was her God chose her son for the birth of her son, so Mary is called the Virgin. And the Virgin Mary helped a very kind and good man named Joseph. He was the earthly father of Jesus Christ and cared for the Virgin Mary and the Son of God. Joseph knew that the Lord gave him greater responsibility.

Mama Jesus Christ is called Maria

When it was time to be born to the baby, Joseph and Virgin Mary were on the way to the city of Bethlehem. It was too late and for the night they had to stay in the cave. Where, usually shepherds were hidden with animals if the bad weather found them. Little Jesus was born in unusual conditions, instead of the usual Manege of the little Christ put in the feeder, where the hay was put on animals. By the way, it is called Nursery, as well as a group of kindergarten for the smallest.

Christmas Christ: Listen, Watch, Feel

All these events are displayed on the "Christmas Christ" icon. And although the situation is very different from the traditional conditions for the birth of children, it did not prevent his parents to surround the baby with maternal care and fatherly warmth. And the fact that Jesus was born in the cave, says that it is not so important where you were born, important for what. Jesus Christ became the Savior of all people who wish to be with God forever.

What is a Christmas tree and why is it so called?

What is a Christmas tree and how it is worth celebrating - the name itself takes place, as they believe, from the word "sochily" (the same as "colomile" - boiled grains of rice or wheat). To eat "sochily", or "colomile", it is put on the eve of the holiday only after the liturgy, which connects to the evening.

How did the holiday of the Nativity of Christ?

In 337, Pope Julius I approved the date on December 25 as the date of the Nativity of Christ. Since then, the whole Christian world celebrates Christmas on December 25th. The exception is the Armenian Church, which celebrates Christmas and the Baptism of the Lord as a single holiday of the Epiphany on January 6.

History History - Christmas for Children

January 7 marked the new life of all mankind. Now the worship of pagan idols remained in the past. No more human sacrifices in favor of these gods. To date, the only "sacrifice", who, who, applied by the Orthodox Christian of the Lord, is a candle and sincere prayer.

The history of the holiday is covered with riddles, as he is one of the oldest on earth. Meanwhile, there are facts that are accurately installed in modern science and are practically not subject to doubt. Agree: imagine that this day was ever not honored - difficult. But, meanwhile, there were such times. To understand how it was, you need to plunge into an exciting and mysterious world of history.

1. This holiday is set to the honor of the appearance of Jesus Christ in the old town of Bethlehem. It happened in 5508 by the day of the creation of the world.

2. In the IV century, the principles of Christmas celebration were installed. They did not have 100% similarity with modern. And in terms of chants - also.

3. In the V century, the foundations of chants began to be laid. Constantinople Patriarch Anatoly contributed to this. Its case continued in the VII-VIII centuries Andrei and Soffonia Jerusalem, as well as - Kozma Mauman, Patriarch Konstantinople, and others. It was the then songs that are widely practiced by modern clergy.

4. This great holiday was in honor of the believers from the very moment of the Birth of the Savior. Over time, he gained popularity, and more and more believers joined the celebrations. Already in those days, the custom was born to celebrate this day in a special way. However, all this was subjected to persecution and was not recognized by the official advantage of the authorities a very long time.

5. The first who decided to congratulate Christ, and all the people, were simple shepherds who came an angel, who onceed them about the greatest joy: the Savior came to Earth, and everyone who tries to him, and will stick to his commandments, will receive a chance to save His soul and blissful paradise life for all centuries. The shepherds presented the infant of the gift, and the wise men (Magi) hurried behind them. It was on them that he was entrusted to notify people about the birth of the child of God.

The history of the birthday of Christmas is presented briefly for children. After all, children should know and need to tell everything correctly and clearly.

So laid the foundations of this holiday, which we celebrate and now. And not only on religious, but at the official - state level (in more than 100 countries of the modern world).

Some more interesting facts belonging to historical!

It is celebrated and the Catholic Church, and Protestant, as well as he is honored with a lot of related religious directions.

In Russia, Christmas began to celebrate only in the century. And its baptism itself occurred, for the most part, forcibly. The pagan beliefs of local peoples were too strong.

Already closer to our time in the villages of the shinties celebrated "the world", moving from one hut in the second. Preserved this custom to this day. The merchants in those days rode the top three, and the noble venomshal loved to arrange balls.

Holy Evening or Christmas of Christ - Traditions and Customs

In fact, long before Christmas began homemade "troubles". And everyone has them. So, the owner had to wipe meat, put wine for ripening, cook smoking and so on. The hostess was engaged in embroidery, cleaning, preparation of new dishes, cooking dishes. Children helped them in all this.

The second January (on Ignat) was made final cleaning, the houses were decorated with Didoma, fir branches.

The sixth number, from the very dawn, the hostess gained water for the aircraft, Uzvar, the core topped on which the dishes were then prepared. Until the evening of the sixth, a strict post continued. But the first star announced his relative "ending".

And in order to emphasize the entire idleness of this moment, they were taken for such a long-awaited festive meal. But she, necessarily, was lean. The table was incredibly rich. And it should have been standing, certainly 12 dishes.

Let's go back to the festive home table. He was covered with fresh smelly hay, but who, in a clean beautiful dishes made food. Each dishes has its meaning. It is believed that the table should be made of dishes from all fruits, vegetables existing in the farm, so that next year they richer are even richer.

Why exactly 12 dishes need to be prepared for christmas?

This is justified by the fact that the year as many months. And also, it was 12 apostles who were directly involved in a well-known secret evening with Christ.

After a meal ended in the family, you could wear the evening. At this time, young people could range, adults, and with them and children, old people, young (everyone who wanted) began to gather in church. The girls were taken for fortune telling. However, the official church they were forbidden!

How to cook the christmas kun

In ancient times, to prepare this unique dish, the whole family was taken. Each her dick, from Mala to Great, a few evenings in a row, moved wheat to use only the best grains in the cooking process. A little more than wheat used barley.

Modern Cage is usually preparing from rice, but recipes in which wheat and barley are used - return to us gradually. The dish is supplied to the table, filled with poppy and bees honey. Sometimes it was filled and full. This is also honey, only divorced. It is not as sweet and much more liquid.

Machine milk began to add to the Buck later. In fact, it is not milk, in its pure form, but a pre-sparkled and carefully dismissible poppy.

If there is no honey, you can simply add sugar to the dish. Also, the edge of modern cooking is raisins and nuts in the curb. Previously, only nuts could add, who had them.

Recipes for making this dish - a great set. We give one of the most popular used by our ancestors.

It uses wheat or barley grains, pre-pounded in a wooden stage. But, they should not be fragmented. The main task is to remove the husk, which they are covered.

Ideally, if the water, after that, did not need to merge, that is, it was completely digealed.

January month of holidays, after christmas will be. But continuing the topic of Christmas, I can not not mention interesting signs for Christmas.

Christmas signs

The main signs in which they believed then and that continue to exist now:

✔ It is forbidden to sew for Christmas so that all family members have excellent vision.

✔ Blizzard on this day - early spring and violent foliage on trees.

✔ Star sky - a big crop of pea.

✔ Susta, cooked by the main hostess in the house - good health to the one who will eat it.

✔ On the eve of Christmas, it is better not to carry out the light and fire from the hut.

✔ On the table either a single plate should be empty.

And most importantly: how the Christmas will be held, so it will be all year! This, of course, is not the only signs. Not enough multiple volumes to count all them. But, in front of you, the most interesting of them.

The Day of the Nativity of Christ since ancient times is counted by the Church to the Great Boxed Holidays. Its value is so great that even the summer is conducted from the moment the first star appeared in the sky, marking the birth of Jesus Christ.

A great holiday begins on the eve, January 6, from a holy evening. For Orthodox, this is the last day of the 40-day post and a period of enhanced cooking for the celebration of the Nativity of Christ.

Christmas

The holiday is installed in honor of the birth in the flesh of the Son of God's Virgin Maria. According to the Gospel, Jesus Christ was born during the reign of Emperor August in the Jewish city of Bethlehem.

According to the legend of the Gospel, the mother of Jesus Christ Maria and her husband Joseph lived in Nazareth, and in Bethlehem came, fulfilling the order of the ruler of August to appear to the entire population to census.

In Bethlehem, in connection with the census, all places in hotels were busy, and Maria and Joseph were able to find overnight only in a cave designed for livestock stalls. There Maria and his gave birth to the Son of God. The Most Herbal Virgin was gangling the Boggladère and put in Nursery - a feeder for livestock.

Among the full-length silence, when all of humanity was argued with a dream, the news of the birth of the Savior of the world heard the shepherds who embarked herd. Angel came and said: "Do not be afraid: the gossip of the joy of the great, which will be all people. Today the Savior of the world was born - Christ the Lord! And here you have a sign: you will find a baby in the pellets lying in the manger."

And suddenly appeared with the Angel's numerous host of heaven, the famous God. When the angels disappeared, the shepherds went to the cave and the first were bowed to the baby. In the sky, the Bethlehem Star shone.

Following the guide star, Magi (the ancient wise men) reached Bethlehem, where they bowed to the newborn Savior and brought the gifts of the East: Gold, Ladan and Smyrna. These gifts had a deep meaning: gold brought as a king in the form of Dani, incense as God, and Smyrna as a person who should die (Smirnaya in those distant times I was acknowledged dead).

It was from those old days that the tradition came to make the Bethlehem star and decorate her New Year tree. Tradition to celebrate this event as a holiday has appeared much later. One of the first references to the birthday of the birth of Jesus Christ is dated to the fourth century.

history of the holiday

The establishment of the celebration of the Nativity of Christ refers to the first centuries of Christianity. Until IV centuries, Christmas in Eastern and Western churches, Christmas was connected to the festival of baptism and was celebrated on January 6, and was known under the name of the Epiphany.

The main and initial goal of setting the holiday is the memory and glorification of the events of the phenomenon in the flesh of the Son of God.

Christmas was first separated from baptism in the Roman Church in the first half of the IV century. In 337, Pope Julius I approved the date on December 25 as the date of the Nativity of Christ.

Since then, the whole Christian world celebrates Christmas on December 25th. The exception is the Armenian Church, which celebrates Christmas and the Baptism of the Lord as a single holiday of the Epiphany on January 6.

By transferring a holiday for December 25, the church wanted to create against the pagan cult of the Sun and protect believers from participating in it.

The establishment of the celebration of the Nativity of Christ on December 25 had another foundation. The fathers of the church believed that the 25th of December of the month is historically most of all corresponds to the day of the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The celebration of the Nativity of Christ on December 25 in the Eastern Church was introduced later than in Western, namely, in the second half of the IV century. For the first time, a separate celebration of the Nativity of Christ and the Baptism of the Lord was introduced in the Constantinople church about 377. From Constantinople, the custom of celebrating Christmas to Christmas on December 25 spread throughout the Orthodox East.
