Do you know about the existence of the religion-related superstitions in the Orthodox religion?
yes
no
If yes, do you apply any of them in your everyday or spiritual life?
yes
no
don’t know
I think the main reason of the emergence and dissemination of the religion-related superstitions is:
religious ignorance
heathen beliefs
Soviet heritage
religious literature
(superstitions about religious feast days). Usually I think that:
you mustn’t swim in the bodies of water after the Feast Day of Ilya the Prophet (August 2);
if you seal up windows before the Intercession, there won’t be warm in the house;
on the remembrance of the dead in joyful prayer day (the Radonitsa) self-murderers may be remembered; people should visit cemeteries before 12 p.m. because later the souls of the deceased are already not there;
on the Holy Cross Day «autumn moves towards winter, it pushes warmth and pulls cold»;
on Candlemas Day winter meets summer;
the cause of the Fall of Adam and Eva was that they had eaten an unconsecrated apple before the Transfiguration.
(superstitions about sacraments). I think that:
a baby must be christened to avoid an evil eye;
at christening it is better to receive another name unknown to other people;
the priest must tear the paper with the list of sins or they won’t be absolved;
the Communion is also the “purification” of the organism;
the Communion raises hemoglobin;
you mustn’t kiss anyone after the Commution not to lose God’s grace;
the Anointing is the last deathbed sacrament;
the Marriage service is a guarantee that the spouses will live a long and happy life.
(superstitions about religious ceremonies). I think that:
the candle put on the candle stand which fell or died out means misfortune;
you should make the sign of cross over the mouth when yawning;
all service lists have different efficiency (proskomide, liturgy, special-ordered, moleben);
if people alive are mentioned in the pray for the repose of the dead soul, it can make them harm;
if the holy water from different churches is mixed, it gains more power;
you shouldn’t pick up a lost cross in the street – you may take up “other person’s cross” (problems and deceases);
favourite things of the dead and some products may be put into the coffin; it is possible to take meals at the grave;
there are thematic icons: at some of them people pray for health, at others they pray for money, etc.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION!
