Before going to bed, light a candle and place apples next to it. Looking at the burning candle, say the following words:

There is so much happiness that we begin to share it with everyone else. And as we share, it becomes even better for us and everything around us. Kindness, beauty, come into my house, mature in it. I keep it for myself and give it to others. As has been said, it will be so, but it cannot be any other way. Amen".

Be sure to wait until the candle burns out completely and do not touch the fruit while performing the ritual. In the morning, give these apples to strangers, while imagining that you are giving a piece of kindness and love. By doing this, you will launch a wave of love that will return a hundredfold in the near future. Read the text, thinking that you are giving strong feelings and will receive even more love in return. A magical ritual works well on an energetic level. You will feel happier and brighter, just like after going to church.

Fortune telling for the Apple Savior.

To tell fortunes about a quick marriage, a fire was lit in the clearing, and everyone brought one blessed apple from their own garden. Those who are alone at the moment in life, be it a guy or a girl, brought apples on strings to the blazing fire and twisted them well. The one whose apple falls into the fire first will be the first to marry among the fortune tellers. And, unfortunately, the one whose apple falls last is doomed to loneliness.

Also on Yablochny Spas - August 19, they guessed for the future. This fortune telling was performed on an apple peel, thrown, in turn, over the shoulder.

A young girl or guy was peeling an apple from their garden, in one strip. The first to start guessing was the one whose stripe turned out to be the longest. The fortuneteller approached the fire, stood with his back to it and threw a peeled apple peel into the blazing flame over his left shoulder.

Afterwards we carefully observed how the peel behaved. In the event that the apple peel curled up extremely quickly, compressed into an absolutely small lump, this marked a rather unlucky year for the fortuneteller. Well, if the apple peel behaved differently, that is, it straightened out, then this behavior meant only positive aspects, such as luck and a fairly long road, very interesting new impressions and meetings.

If the peel did not show itself at all in the fire, practically lying motionless, then some said that this promised illness, while others believed that such behavior of the apple peel, on the contrary, foreshadowed a quick marriage.

An apple is a fruit that has a sacred meaning.

It was not for nothing that the tempting serpent offered it to our foremother Eve. It symbolizes secret knowledge and is considered the fruit of love. Therefore, this is the best fruit “oracle” that you can ask about matters of the heart and money. And now we invite you to familiarize yourself with the twelve most common fortune telling on apples:

MY HALF.

If you have doubts about how a person you like, but with whom you do not yet have a relationship, feels for you, take a ripe red apple, cut it into 2 halves, mark one of them as the left one, for example, by making a small notch with a knife. Insert a note between the halves with the name of the person you are interested in and tie them with a red ribbon.

Tell:

“The apple is red, beautiful to everyone, tell me, show me the way. How does the servant of God (name) feel towards the servant of God (name)?”

Place the apple on the windowsill. When it starts to deteriorate, look at which half has darkened more. If it’s on the left, it means that the person sympathizes with you and should soon take the initiative and get closer. If it’s on the right, alas, he sees you as a friend at most. After fortune telling, give the apple to the birds.

RED, YELLOW, GREEN.

To find out if your wish will come true, take 3 apples - red, yellow and green. It is desirable that they be approximately the same size. Put them in a box. Visualize your desire, say it out loud.

Then, without looking, pull one apple out of the box.

If it is red, you will be lucky; your dream will come true, and quite soon.

Yellow - some obstacles will arise, but if you don’t give up, everything will work out.

Green is an untimely desire, so the answer is negative.

LOVE DOES NOT LOVE.

To find out how your lover treats you, take an apple and, with thoughts of your sweetheart, cut it in half.

See if all the seeds are still intact?

If yes, then, without a doubt, he loves you, and if you both don’t mess things up, you can celebrate your golden wedding together.

If one seed is damaged, dissatisfaction with your relationship is brewing in your significant other, it’s time for you to seriously discuss everything.

If 2 or more are cut, it’s time for you to seriously think: is this your person?

WITHOUT "THE TOWER"

This apple fortune telling is done on your birthday to find out how life will turn out during the year. Take an apple, cut off the top so that the seeds are visible. If they form a pattern in the form of a beautiful regular star, then the future promises you happiness and a sea of ​​love. If not, you will have to fight for your place in the sun. But this is not a reason to be sad, because struggle makes us stronger!

SHOW UP, GROOM!

If your heart does not belong to anyone yet, an apple will help you find out what your chosen one will be like. Cut the fruit into 9 equal parts. Sit in front of a large mirror. Eat 8 pieces of apple, and throw one over your left shoulder, watching its reflection. At this moment, your betrothed may appear in the mirror.

CONTENDERS.

If you have several admirers in mind, and you cannot decide with whom to connect your destiny, take apples according to the number of admirers. Carve the name of the applicant on each one. And try every apple. On the most delicious one - the name of your betrothed!

ROUND.

To tell fortunes with apples with your girlfriends which of you will get married first, take apples according to the number of those present plus one. Mark each one your own apple. Place them on the floor so that they form a circle, cover them with a red cloth. Blindfold one of the girls with a scarf, give a “free” fruit in her hands, wrap it around its own axis several times and bring it to the apple circle. She must take any apple. Whoever she chooses will soon have a wedding.

RACE.

The previous fortune telling has another option. Stand in one line at a certain distance from the wall. And - roll your apple towards her at the signal. Whoever hits the wall first will be the one to get married first.

PATTERNS.

You can ask Apple any question you are interested in. To do this, peel the skin so that it never breaks. Ask for what interests you and throw the peel over your left shoulder. Look at the patterns it made when it fell to the floor. If they resemble the letters “o” or “u,” then the Universe will not yet give you the opportunity to get what you want. If there is any other pattern, everything will come true.

RIGHT TO CHOICE.

You can also decide on your choice of job/profession using an apple. Cut the apple in half. On paper in a circle equal to the size of the slice, write the place of work/position/profession that interests you. Place the paper into the apple without folding it and secure the halves. Leave it overnight. In the morning, look at which inscription is the least blurry, that’s where you need to go.

MONEY FRUIT.

You can also find out whether your income will increase with the help of an apple. Throw it up. If it falls on your right hand, you will significantly improve your financial situation, if on your left, everything will remain unchanged for now. If it’s exactly in front of you, don’t do anything stupid so as not to get into debt!

FRUIT “FISH”

Throw a lot of small apples into a bucket of water. Without looking, scoop it up with a large ladle. Count how many apples you managed to catch. If the number is even, a successful period in love awaits you. If it’s odd, bet on your career for now.

Love apple recipe

Apple inflorescences are added to love drinks and incense. They are mixed with melted pink wax, which is used to make candles. Burning such candles helps attract love.

How to attract love:

Here's a simple ritual: hold an apple in your hand until it becomes warm, and then give it to your lover. This will strengthen your relationship.

If you cut an apple and count the number of seeds, an even number will foretell a wedding. If one of the seeds is cut, the lovers will quarrel. If two grains turn out to be cut, then the fortuneteller will remain an old maid. An odd number of seeds delays marriage indefinitely.

Love apple recipe.

Cut the apple in half and put a note in the middle:

“As you, red apple, dry, so will the heart of my beloved (name) dry for me.”

This spell works on its own, and if you hide an apple and it catches the eye of your loved one, then this technique will surely work.

Buy one big and most beautiful red apple. Prepare a new thin crochet hook. Light the red candle. Cut the apple in the center in the tail area, make a deep cut inward, but the apple should remain intact. Insert a folded photo of your loved one into this cut so that it is inside the apple.

Prick an apple with a crochet hook and say a love spell for each puncture:

“As Adam’s apple destroyed, so that through the apple the soul of the slave (name) fell in love with the slave (name). Amen".

Make 99 punctures (respectively, repeat the love spell the same number of times). Leave the candle to burn out.

Attracting love into your life is done during the waxing moon.

Take from your lover the coin that he carried with him. In a ceramic fireproof vessel, heat a liter of dry red wine in the oven, add spices to it: cinnamon, clove bud, saffron sprig, sage sprig, 2 apple seeds, 3 red apple slices, a little liquid white honey. Place the coin in the container. Bring the mixture to the viscosity of liqueur. Remove the coin from the container and hold it in your palm when you treat your loved one with liqueur.

To get rid of an unwanted lover, write his name on a piece of paper and wrap three apple seeds in it. Burn or bury the paper. Apple seeds contain a natural form of cyanide and are poisonous, which is why it is a powerful magical image.

A variation of this spell is to place a piece of paper between two halves of an apple cut exactly down the middle. Connect them with hairpins and bury them outside your home.

Apple blossom is considered an excellent catalyst in magic to attract love. Carry it with you or put it under your bed.

Ritual of changing fate on Spas.

The ritual is performed on August 19, the day of the Transfiguration of the Lord, or the Second (Apple) Savior. To do this, you need an open space (large clearing, field, steppe), where there are no bushes or trees nearby.

You need to go to the middle of the selected area and draw a circle with a stick approximately 2 m in diameter.

The number of people participating can be either one, five or nine. You need to take baked red apples with you - one for each person.

Then stand facing each other, without touching your hands, and then, walking one after another, spin around your axis, while singing the spell for 15 minutes (know by heart):

“We will glorify the Lord so that we can return to you again. Righteous God, have mercy on us. We glorify the Lord on the Apple Savior.”

Then eat apples, repeating the words of the conspiracy to yourself from time to time.

During this ritual, cemetery damage and all types of “black” slander are removed from a person and the person will live the life span that Heaven has given him, favorable circumstances are attracted to life.

The next part of the ritual is this. It is necessary to light a small fire in the center of the circle, to which you must add linden branches and yellowed tree leaves. When the fire flares up, the participants in the ritual must walk around it without touching their hands and repeat the above words of the conspiracy for about three minutes (you can silently). Following this, they must sit for a while, watching the fire burn. It is forbidden to extinguish it; it must burn out and go out on its own, since its smoke and fire will be especially healing.

The ritual must be performed at any time, but before sunset.

Then go to church and make a feasible monetary offering for the needs of the temple. Buy two medium and one large candles. Place a large candle near the icon of Jesus Christ with a prayer of thanks:

“Thy holy body, Lord Jesus Christ our God, be unto me eternal life, and Thy venerable blood for the remission of sins; May this thanksgiving bring me joy, health and joy; in your terrible life and your second coming, vouchsafe me, a sinner, to the right hand of Your glory, through the prayers of Your Most Pure Mother and all the saints.”

Make a bow and cross yourself.

Light one medium candle and place it for your health near the icon of the Saint whose name you bear (if there is no such icon, light a candle near the image of St. Nicholas the Pleasant).

Light the third candle near the icon of the Most Holy Mother of God with the words:

“My Most Holy Lady Theotokos, with your holy and all-powerful prayers, take away from me, your humble and accursed servant, despondency, oblivion, lack of understanding, lack of zeal and all the nasty, evil and blasphemous thoughts from my accursed heart and from my darkened mind; and extinguish the flame of my passions, for I am poor and damned. And deliver me from many bitter memories and enterprises; and free me from all evil actions. For Thou art blessed from all generations, and glorified is Thy most honorable name forever and ever. Amen".

When leaving the church, give candy and apples to the poor; if there are no beggars, we leave donations for the temple. Go home without looking back.

Apple Savior is a folk church holiday that is celebrated every year on the same day - August 19, after the Honey Savior. This day combines a huge number of traditions.

You can read in more detail about the traditions, signs and rituals of the Apple Savior in a separate article. They are so diverse because the Orthodox Church celebrates the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord on this day. On this important day, prayers are read in churches, conversations with God are held, and festive liturgies are held, where they remember the significant event that occurred on Mount Tabor. John, Peter and James, three disciples of Jesus, saw a bright light that illuminated them, informing them that the Son of God was standing before them, who would save the world from filth.

Apple saved August 19

This day represents the transition from the summer season to the winter season. Since ancient times, people have noticed that the nights begin to grow noticeably stronger from this period of time. They are getting colder and more and more often reminding us that autumn is coming. Gardens and vegetable gardens are already beginning to turn yellow, the plants are drooping their heads and drying up. In Rus', winter planting in the fields began from this day. But autumn, which is coming closer, is not only a time of withering, but also a season of harvesting fruits, and very abundant ones.

The rituals that we will discuss below are inseparably linked with nature, which regulates a lot of processes in our lives. This great day is a great time when the energy of the cosmos is attracted like a magnet. For this purpose, special rituals for communicating with Mother Nature were invented many centuries and dozens of generations ago.

The Second Savior or Apple Savior and the Transfiguration of the Lord is a vivid example of how church and folk wisdom combine, creating something more beautiful. This is direct proof of the unity of God and nature. This is a single whole, one organism, one essence and one person.

Rituals for August 19

Apple Spas implies the presence of apples in each of the rituals. At this time, most types of apples are already ripening, so there should be no problems with preparing for rituals and ceremonies.

First rite - “Healthy body”

We all grow old and do not get younger, but there are many rules that indicate the right path to prolonging youth and increasing energy. For example, smile more and think only about good things. A positive mood works like an elixir of youth. The “Healthy Body” ritual will help you enhance this effect and become more beautiful and healthier, regardless of age.

All you need is apples, a bag or cloth and a good mood. Cut one or a couple of apples that you picked specifically at Apple Spas on August 19. Before picking an apple from a tree, say:

After this, you need to put the cut small pieces on the window in the sun, and in the evening collect them and put them in a bag or wrap them in cloth. The apple pieces will absorb all the necessary energy, which can be used for about two to three weeks after the holiday. The bag should be placed next to the place where you sleep. Before going to bed, repeat the same lines: “I’m taking your youth for myself. I am now starting a new life.”

When about two weeks have passed, you can throw away the apples with the words: “Thank you, Mother Nature, for your help. Thank you for your gifts. Amen." From the first day of the ritual, you will begin to feel how strength fills you and a feeling of lightness returns.

Second rite - “Exchange of Goods”

Buy or pick more apples. Choose a person from your environment who will gladly accept your gifts and thank you sincerely. This could be a relative, friend, neighbor. When you give him apples as a gift, say to yourself: “I buy myself goodness by giving kindness and warmth”. It is important to give the gift directly into your hands, without intermediaries, otherwise nothing will work out.

It is impossible to receive something without giving something in return. This is the main law of nature, which became known to people thousands of years ago. For goodness to come into your life, do it to another person. Since the holiday is associated with apples, it is worth giving them to someone who will appreciate your gift. And then the Universe will help you fulfill your deepest desire.

Third Rite - “New Youth”

Another ritual that is aimed at returning youth and excellent well-being. Take fresh garden apples and juice them. After this, you will need to wash your face with the juice three times before going to bed. Stand in front of the mirror and say: “The power of Savior Apple, help me transform and regain my strength. Help me take the true path. Let it be so."

Wash your face three times, repeating “I wash away old age and gain youth.” After this, the remaining juice can be drunk or poured out - at your discretion.

The first rite can be repeated even after the Savior, but as for the second and third, it is strictly tied to August 19.

If you want to harness the power of nature every day, check out our helpful morning whispers. They will help activate natural energy and provide assistance in business, maintaining health and good luck. Have a nice holiday and don't forget to press the buttons and

Just five days after the first, Honey Savior, the second, Apple Savior, begins. The date of the church holiday does not change, and, as in other years, we celebrate Apple Savior 2016 on August 19. People love this holiday and look forward to it, ─ starting from August 19, Orthodox Christians can eat apples. Many people still don’t understand why the church says that you can’t eat apples until that day, “otherwise they won’t let you into heaven.” The priests explain that the ban applies only to the fruits of the new harvest. You can and even should eat last year’s and imported apples! Signs and even superstitions are associated with the Apple Savior. According to custom, on this day believers visit churches, attend general prayer and consecrate the gifts of nature. Conspiracies and magical rituals for Transfiguration (another, main name of the holiday) are used for rejuvenation, attracting love, healing, and cleansing the home. On this day, it is customary to congratulate each other in prose or short SMS, poetry, and give friends postcards with funny pictures. The Orthodox Church does not approve of magic, but the desire to see a miracle by charming a fresh apple wins in most cases.

Magic spells, traditions, signs and prayers for Apple Spas 2016


There are many signs, traditions, and conspiracies associated with the Apple Savior holiday. On August 19, prayers relating to the Transfiguration of Jesus the Savior are read in all churches.

Prayers for Apple Savior

On August 19, in memory of the Transfiguration of the Lord, clergy wear white clothes, symbolizing the light on Tabor. In Moscow, for example, the day begins with liturgy, the singing of canons and prayers, which emphasize the greatness of the Transfiguration. Believers will bring apples to church for blessing.

Prayer to the Transfiguration of the Lord

Lord Jesus Christ, our God, in the Living Light, unapproachable, the Radiance of the Father’s Glory and the Image of His Hypostasis! When the fulfillment of times came, You humbled Yourself for your unspeakable mercy for the fallen human race, You took on the form of a servant, You humbled Yourself, obedient even to the point of death. Moreover, before the Cross and Your free passion on Mount Tavorstei, You were transfigured in Your Divine Glory before Your saints, the disciples and Apostles, little hiding the perception of the flesh, so that when they see You crucified and put to death, they will understand Your free suffering and Divinity. Grant to all of us, Thy most pure Flesh, the Transfiguration of those celebrating, with pure hearts and undefiled minds, to ascend to Thy Holy Mountain, to the holy villages of Thy glory, where the pure voice of those celebrating, the voice of unspeakable joy, so that together with them, face to face, we will see Thy Glory in unfading are the days of Your Kingdom, and with all the saints who have pleased You from all eternity, let us glorify Your All-Holy Name with Your Originless Father and Your Most Holy and Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen

Beliefs and signs of the Apple Savior

In addition to the tradition of blessing apples, the Orthodox also had beliefs related to the Savior on the Mountain. For example, in the southern regions of Russia it is believed that at this time swallows fly away and the sky reveals God: you can make a wish and it will come true. According to tradition, on August 19, people treat each other with blessed apples. Anyone who takes a bite from the fruit can make a wish. Treating a beggar at Apple Spas is a good sign: next year will be abundant. It is believed that grains must be removed before the holiday, otherwise there is no need to wait for the harvest. According to the signs of the holiday, January will be the same as the weather on August 19th. If it rains, winter is expected to be snowy. A funny and good omen of the Second Savior is a fly that lands on a person’s clothes. If this happens, be “lucky” rich!

Conspiracies for Apple Spas

Although the church is against various rituals and conspiracies, they are still “sinned” today, both by villagers and city dwellers. Most of these magical actions relate to attracting love, health and wealth.

Conspiracy for rejuvenation

You need to prepare 12 apples, then say the following spell on them three times:

“The cradle of nature, on a clear day and in bad weather, bewitch my apple, bewitch youth to me.” Then, for 12 days, eat the charmed fruits, and every time you need to curse the apple, which was previously charmed for the Apple Savior. And be sure that after five days you will clearly notice positive changes not only in your appearance, but also in your physical condition.

Love spell during Apple Day

“On this fine day, let the breeze bring me ardent and pure love, so that my heart beats faster, so that love burns like nettles, me and my chosen one. Exactly!"

They put the apple in a secluded place, and when it dried up, they buried it near their house.

Money plot

On this day, you need to get up at dawn and pick three branches of a linden tree (it is considered money) and place it in a container of water, to which three tablespoons of holy water have been added, in the room where you usually sleep. In the next nine days, early in the morning, without washing, you need to use these twigs to consecrate your home, reading the following conspiracy: “Money should have money, and debts should belong to debtors, poverty should belong to the poor, but I don’t have coppers in my pocket, only paper money.” and bills of exchange are important. My word is strong and molding. Amen". Repeat three times. After nine days have passed, you can either break these branches and make a decoction, which you add to the bath taken on Friday - the day of wealth, at midnight, or dry them and store them in a secluded place for a whole year.

About mind, soul and mortal body,

We discussed calmly and without quarrels.

Suddenly the apple fell on the physicist.

He took out his mobile phone

And he began to dictate to his assistant Valya

Open gravity law!

Everyone congratulated the scientist!

The apple fell again. Rubbed his forehead

Philosopher: “I really need to write it down

An idea that doesn’t look like nonsense!”

And writes on his palm out of habit

With a felt-tip pen, sweepingly, easily,

What does an apple usually come from an apple tree?

Doesn't fall to the ground far!

“How wise! Exactly! Daring! Boldly! Lump!

The apple fell again and the look

The poet became hazy, with a smile

He immediately wrote a poem about a wonderful garden!

There was no limit to the delight!

When friends almost entered into ecstasy,

Father Markel hit the ripe fruit:

“Let’s go to church, we have the Savior today!”

Everyone stood up, holding out their hands to each other,

And grace was felt in the souls!

And the apples fell with a thud,

But there was no one to collect them...

Grandpa rejoices at the knock

He smells winter with his blue nose,

Unbeaten - to the grandson's bottom,

The rest goes into a barrel with Calvados,

In winter, in Epiphany frosts

I would give my grandson a gift from the Savior,

I would warm myself with Calvados,

Balance without touching the meager cash register,

A fragrant August evening

I teased grandpa with apples by knocking,

That sound is like a messenger to a personal meeting,

Replacing Skype with a laptop!

Unprecedented harvest

Can't be avoided

All the boundaries are littered

A ton of apples.

Delicious apple pie

The preparations are being smothered for future use,

We wish we could survive.

The dryer and I are on first name terms,

Just a little time,

Apples in orderly rows

They don't thin out.

Pastila and marmalade,

Harvest time.

The beauty is the apple parade!

Getting younger.

On August 14, the Russian Orthodox Church celebrates the Origin (destruction) of the trees of the Cross of the Lord. And people often call this day - Honey Spas.

You should know that Honey Spas is the first day of the Assumption Fast, which ends on the eve of the Assumption.
The Assumption Fast is the only multi-day Orthodox fast in honor of the Mother of God and her Assumption. Therefore he is very strict.
Strict, but sweet, just like the life of worthy people, believing Orthodox Christians after death.


What you can eat during the Dormition Fast:

  • on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays - dry eating (and this is bread, vegetables and fruits);
  • on Tuesday and Thursday you can eat hot food, but without vegetable oil;
  • on Saturday and Sunday - hot food with vegetable oil;
  • Only on the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord and on the Feast of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary can one also eat fish.

Spas Honey arrived in time,
Seeing off the summer
The honey is already ripe in the honeycombs,
Promising a holiday.
This calendar day
They don’t call it Lakomka for nothing:
First Spas, Honey Spas,
He has something in store for us,
Prepared sweets
For honey joy!

The very word “Savior” is associated with Jesus Christ, who is called the Savior. It is to him that the Orthodox Church dedicates these holidays. It must be said that each feast of the Savior in the church calendar has a different, so to speak, official name.

Honey, the very first one saved, in church calendars it is called the Origin of the Honest Trees of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord.
Apple saved, which is celebrated on August 19, according to church canons it is called the Transfiguration of the Lord.
And the last one, third Nut Spas, which is called not made by hands, is celebrated by the Orthodox Church in memory of the transfer of the Not Made by Hands image of the Lord Jesus Christ to Constantinople.


Why are holidays called Spas?

It turns out that this word has ancient, even pagan roots. Long before the advent of Christianity, the Slavs revered the God of the Savior, to whom they prayed for the successful harvest and safety of the harvest. After the baptism of Rus', Slavic traditions intertwined with Orthodox ones, and the holidays of the Savior acquired another meaning: Jesus gave each of us the opportunity to sweeten our soul from evil forces, to take care of it even before the autumn of life comes. And now, during Spasov, we remember Him, trying to think at least for a moment: how do we live?

Our ancestors always swam in ponds on Honey Spas. It was believed that on this day all water acquires magical powers - it washes away sins, saves from troubles and illnesses. But swimming after August 14 was prohibited - you could get sick and even drown.

There is another name for the holiday on August 14 - Makovey. Those who often visit church know that on this day in churches they remember the martyrdom of the seven Maccabee brothers for the faith. But the Maccabees have nothing to do with the harvest festival. It’s just that on August 14, people began to collect poppy seeds in the fields and bake pies with this filling.

Makoveychik - a magical amulet bouquet

On the holiday of Macovei earlier, in pre-Christian Rus', people created special bouquets-amulets - poppy flowers, who protected the family from harm throughout the year. They did not stop collecting poppy seeds even after the advent of Christianity. True, now they are consecrated in the church.
In the old days, poppy seed was made from 17 herbs. Over time, the number of components has changed.

What must be in a bouquet?

1. A symbol of incredible beauty, sincere love and loyalty to each other - Kalina;
2. Symbol of bright sun, warmth and mutual gratitude - Sunflower;
3. Strong protection against various diseases and illnesses - Rue, Marigold (Calendula);
4. For excellent harvest and prosperity - Oats;
5. In order for peace, tranquility, understanding and trust to always be present in the family - Mint;
6. So that, as they say: “there is no translation” - Oregano (Materinka);
7. Sincere affection and tenderness will be added - Laskovets;
8. A large number of gentlemen suggests the presence of Tirlich;
9. In case of a quarrel, reconciliation is favored by Donnik;
10. Poppy heads are an essential component of a bouquet; it also helps a lot with a small child’s insomnia if you put a consecrated poppy head under the baby’s pillow;
11. A sprig of wormwood – from evil spirits.

Tie the collected herbs with a red ribbon of any length...

Have you prepared a bouquet? Now it should be consecrated in the church and protected like the apple of your eye for a whole year - it will protect the house and all family members from illnesses and troubles.

The dried poppy seed is best placed on the windowsill. And to protect your home from witchcraft spells. scatter poppies around the house (at least at the threshold and in the corners of each room).

And remember: on Makovei women are forgiven all unforgivable sins.
By the way, if a child has trouble falling asleep or sleeps restlessly , a consecrated poppy head is placed under his pillow.

Popular belief says: The First Savior atones for a woman’s sins. It’s probably no secret to anyone that living a life without sin is an impossible task, unless the saints can cope with it, but an ordinary person cannot do it. The circumstances are like this. that, even in small ways, everyone sins. This sign speaks of that. that if a woman has a sin for which she cannot beg forgiveness in any way, then on this day such a sin will definitely be forgiven her.

For greater confidence in the forgiveness of sins, it was necessary to help widows and orphans with housework - “Throw at least a sliver of wood into the widow’s yard at Honey Spas.” By wood chips they meant firewood. People tried to help in preparing firewood, working in the garden, and doing chores around the house. After all, that one. whoever helps those in need on this day will receive the blessing of the Lord.
