Many people associate a cemetery with something terrible, unpleasant and unwanted. But there are days when all relatives must gather at the grave of a deceased family member in order to remove the burial place, remember the person and honor his memory.
Why is this needed?
The modern generation is increasingly losing touch with traditions and does not even know when people go to the cemetery to honor the dead. Young people without much desire weave for their parents or grandparents, because you just need to do this. And more and more often you can hear disputes about whether or not to go to the cemetery at all, because this will not help the dead person, and for the living this duty is only a burden. One thing can be said: everything must come from the heart.
Memorable days
The Orthodox tradition has a certain list of days when it is worth going to the cemetery in order to honor the attention of the departed. So, opens the list of meaty Saturday - the last before Lent. During it, one can also remember the dead, but only on Saturdays - the second, third, fourth. Important for visiting the cemetery is Radunica - a day that falls on the second Tuesday after Easter. It is believed that at this moment the living together with the dead rejoice in the resurrection of Christ. When do they go to the cemetery to the soldiers? May 9, thank them for the great feat - victory. The dead soldiers are also honored on September 11, the day of the cutting off of the head of John the Baptist. Another days when they go to the cemetery to relatives: Trinity Saturday - the day before the Holy Trinity Day, as well as on Dmitrov Saturday, November 8, when it is also customary to remember all the dead people.
Signs
We figured out when they go to the cemetery. Now it’s worth finding out what to fear when you come to such a place. Often you can hear the question of whether it is possible to go to the cemetery at night. It is believed among the people that one should not be here even after noon, because after that devils will mercilessly mock a person, constantly spoiling his life. Not to mention the nighttime. Also, do not come to the cemetery drunk or get drunk at the burial place of the dead. This can only show disrespect for dead people, while angering their souls. And this never ends with good. But this does not mean that one should not drink at all in the cemetery. On the contrary, it is even necessary to remember a loved one with a sip of good wine. Also, do not swear and swear in the cemetery, because all the bad words spoken by a person immediately “stick” to him and affect his life. The dead do not forgive disrespect. And most importantly, you should not bring anything from the cemetery to your house. It is believed that this can lead to disaster by bringing a piece of "dead life" into the house.
Better not go!
It is also worthwhile to understand why pregnant women, nursing mothers and young children should not go to the cemetery. Everything is somewhat simpler here. Many people know that there are people who can do bad things - black magicians, grandmothers, whispers, etc. Often, a cemetery is a favorite place for bad people. only here you can eat negative dead energy to the maximum. And the above-mentioned category of people is the most unprotected, most often all the bad things that can happen there “stick” to them. And if you really want to go to the grave of a loved one, you need to try to protect yourself by taking a body cross and attaching a pin to the back of the clothes.
