How to spend a memorial day at home and observe all traditions
Usually, on the ninth day after Easter, we commemorate deceased relatives. Unfortunately, some traditions will have to be sacrificed this year. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, there are restrictions that do not allow you to gather in the cemetery. This time we will pray for the dead at home. By the way, some temples accept repose notes on sites.
In 2020, Radonitsa falls on April 28. Of course, it is a very important tradition for our people to commemorate relatives near their graves. This custom is observed by both deeply religious people and those who are far from the church. One way or another, the spread of the virus changes the usual course of things.
We must understand that the most important thing is our sincere prayer, for which there are no barriers and restrictions. It does not matter where we are: in the church, in the cemetery, in the house. This year, the family can be remembered in the home circle.
Also on the parent’s day, it is customary to submit notes to commemorate the deceased in the church. In conditions of self-isolation, this can be done through the Internet. Some churches accept repose notes through their websites. It is best to order a reminder on the proskomedia. The living and the dead are remembered.
The priest takes for the deceased a particle from a special prosphora. Then he lowers it into the cup with the Holy Gifts as a sign of purification from sins. In addition, we advise to defend the liturgy - most churches broadcast online. The priests remind that only the names of baptized Christians of the Orthodox confession are accepted. There is no mention of those who have left their lives.
John Chrysostom said that the dead need our prayers. With the help of the church, their souls will find peace and tranquility. In addition, they need charity and offerings. If you can help people in need, you can do it online. The main thing is not to get into scam sites.
Also in our circles there is a tradition to remember with the help of alcohol. The priests warn that this is non-orthodoxIt's a pagan ritual. It originated during the Soviet era, as well as the custom of leaving food and a glass of vodka on the graves of the deceased. Another thing is to sit at the table, to remember the departed loved ones. But you should limit yourself to food and drink. The souls of the dead need prayer and comfort.
