Traditions and rites in the feast of the Annunciation
On April 7, believers celebrate a great holiday. The Annunciation of the Most Holy Mother of God. It is one of the 12 great church holidays, which is equal in value to Easter and Christmas. On this day, the archangel Gabriel brought the good news to the Virgin Mary that she would become the mother of the Son of God.
Feast of the Annunciation filled with happiness and joy, people have long honored this day and always celebrated it. So there were traditions, rituals and prohibitions about which "Site" He'll tell you today.
The name of the holiday explains its entire essence: The Virgin Mary received the good news of the conception and birth of her Savior. Archangel Gabriel told Mary that the Son of God would become the Savior of the world.
Isaiah’s prophecy is fulfilled, and the Virgin Mary responds with consent to the angel’s message: “Let it be done to me according to your word.” Tradition says that when the archangel appeared to the Virgin Mary, she was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. She thought that she was ready to become the last servant of the one who would be worthy to give birth to the Savior.
Everyone in the place of the Virgin would be afraid, but Mary completely trusted the Lord and relied on his will. She fulfilled her mission through sincere and unwavering faith.
With the Annunciation, many folk traditions and ancient customs are associated. The first thing I remember from childhood: “A bird does not wind a nest in the Annunciation, a girl does not weave a braid.” Grandma always said that, implying that any work on this day is strictly prohibited.
On this day one should devote oneself to the spiritual and forget about the worldly. They say that you need to spend the day calmly, without fuss and in prayer.
