Where did the strict washing ban come from on Sunday?

They accumulate during the working week. houseworkWhich we do on the weekends. And we end up not resting. Last weekend I was doing the laundry, and my husband’s mother looked at me harshly and said, “Washing on Sunday is a big sin!”

I’ve heard this a lot, but is it true? Today's edition. "Site" I decided to answer and answer the question: is it possible? laundry. Who would have thought!





Even our great-grandmothers told us what to wash, clean and handicraft No Sunday. This is because Jesus was resurrected on that day of the week. Orthodoxy says that on Sunday you need to rest.

The clergy advise against doing laundry, ironing and other such things on the seventh day of the week. It is believed that the 7th day of the week should be dedicated to God and prayers. It’s a good day to help those in need. It is also a great day to put aside all routine activities and devote time to family and friends.



Washing on Sunday is not forbidden by the church. Just not recommended.

The priests assure us that housework On Sunday, we can, but we must not forget about the main purpose of this day - the creation of good deeds and rapprochement with God.



To be sure, I asked a question about the laundry and household chores of Father Alexander from the temple, which I periodically visit. His answer was: “To clean your house on Sunday is not the right thing to do.

Agree, because if you want, you can find another time. But if there is an old grandmother or a lonely elderly neighbor who is sick and needs help around the house, then you even need to help an elderly person.



I also want to know how cleaning the house affects people. No wonder they say that rest is a change of activity, now it is a scientifically proven fact.





In my opinion, the point is laundry refusal And other things on the weekend is that you need to be able to postpone all chores around the house and arrange a rest. Fatigue accumulates along with irritation, this does not make anyone better.

A rested person works better and feels better, and at the end of the week performs more than if not rested. However, many people do not understand this, so you have to invent all sorts of signs to intimidate.
