27.09.2019

What signs are sent to descendants by distant ancestors, and how to avoid negative impact funeral superstitions - do you want to stop walking in the dark and find out everything now?

Signs at the funeral

Where are the omniscient grandmothers who are ready to teach a person who is bewildered by grief that has fallen on his head, how to properly bury the deceased, and what customs should be strictly observed?

Would you have guessed, for example, on your own, that from the day of the death of the owner of the house, within a year it is necessary to have a mother hen so that she hatches chickens, supposedly this way the economy will not fall into decay?

Of course, this belief is not suitable for urban residents, however, there are a number of generally accepted signs and superstitions at funerals that are passed down from generation to generation, which everyone who has ever attended a funeral ceremony remembers. Here they are:

As a reminder of the deceased, handkerchiefs are handed out to all those present.
Flowers for funerals are bought in pairs - so that the soul in the next world does not feel the need.
It was a fine day for the funeral - the deceased was a good person during his lifetime.
Unmarried girls are buried in wedding dress like brides of Christ. Another sign says that in a dress the deceased will find her groom in the kingdom of the dead faster. And in order for the couple to find happiness in the afterlife, living relatives distribute gifts to those who came to the funeral.
You can’t cross the road in front of the funeral procession - you can get sick or the body will be covered with growths.
While the dead man is in the walls of the house, it is better to remove the animals from there. A dog can howl to frighten the soul of the deceased and prevent it from going to the light, and a cat can call out a new trouble in the home - how exactly, inquire about.
dressing dear to my heart person in last way, make sure that his favorite things are placed in the coffin: glasses, dentures, watches, wedding ring, pectoral cross - all accessories should be buried with it.
Make sure that none of the observers and escorts take the thing of the deceased to himself - otherwise he will appear to blood relatives in a dream, asking to return the stolen. In addition, witches often use objects belonging to the dead to or something similar, and the soul of the deceased may involuntarily be at the mercy of evil forces.
Excess mourning attributes left after the funeral must be taken to the grave, distributed to the poor or thrown away - it is impossible to leave ritual accessories at home, so as not to tease death.
Often at the funeral ceremony you can see strangers, so to speak, regulars of cemetery places. They believe the sign, according to which, to the one who spends forty dead, three deadly sins will be forgiven. And such sinners are not afraid of other beliefs that threaten deadly danger those who will become the target of the bony.

There is an old wise saying that one misfortune does not come. This time-tested postulate also concerns death, which loves to take kindred souls, especially when they are weakened due to a severe shock. What the herald of death can react with lightning speed, beliefs will prompt:

The deceased does not fit in the coffin - which means that the box is intended for another household member.
The last nail in the coffin was hammered in the house - soon someone else will have to be buried.
Carrying the dead man out of the yard, they forgot to close the gate - they themselves invited death into the house, expect trouble.
Blood relatives should not take up the removal of the body, otherwise the family will be affected by a series of deaths.
He who walks in front of the tomb is doomed to an early death.
Saying goodbye to one dead man in the cemetery, do not walk on the graves, do not step on the towel spread next to the house, do not turn your head - you will attract the attention of other spirits and anger them, but they know how to take revenge!
If the corpse’s eyes are poorly closed or one accidentally opens and looks at one of those present, it means that he has already found a victim for himself (a comrade in misfortune), and will soon take her with him.

Perhaps a good half of superstitions is only the fruit of a sick (or rich) imagination of the pagans, however, why check the predictions on yourself - it’s easier to just follow the ancient customs, including the ones below, and stay healthy.

After the burial of the body of the deceased, the farewell does not end: traditionally, everyone is invited to a memorial dinner. Nine days later, relatives again gather in the house of the deceased to remember him, and after forty days they bake ladders (baking in the form of a ladder), distribute alms, order a prayer service - thus celebrating the liberation and transfer of the soul to heaven. It is important during this period to observe the following signs related to the funeral:

On the day of visiting the cemetery, it is impossible to pay a visit to someone's house - you can bring death to the owner. By the way, the custom of arranging a funeral dinner is in a certain way connected with this sign - after all, it is arranged not in the house, but somewhere aside. So death will not find the way back and will not be able to take anyone else.
On the memorial table there must be a treat for the deceased - a glass of vodka covered with a slice of bread (according to another sign - a pancake and a glass of jelly).
Pancakes are served as the first dish at the wake.
It is forbidden to clink glasses at the memorial table so that trouble does not pass from neighbor to neighbor.
For those who suddenly laugh or sing at the commemoration, a sign prophesies an imminent unbearable grief, such that you want to howl like a wolf.
It is also not worth getting drunk at a memorial dinner, otherwise your children will grow up to be alcoholics.
If you were asked to give a table or stools from your home for a funeral meal, find a reason to refuse - a sign promises illness and grief to the owner of the furniture.

In the old days, returning from a funeral, it was customary to put hands on the stove three times so that death would become numb, petrified like an oven.

Now, unfortunately, stoves are not provided in city apartments, therefore, the best option for you would be washing with holy water. And you can warm your hands on the fire church candle- so that the fingers and palms feel the heat.

Noticing one of the signs that promises a sad development of events, do not despair. As long as you are alive, you can fix everything and drive away the danger. Although, it is much better to prevent it.

In the living quarters where the unfortunate man died, it is no coincidence that all mirrors are hung with an opaque cloth for forty days.

It is known that a mirror is a portal to other world, but at the same time it can serve as a trap for a restless soul. Until she has access to the kingdom of heaven, she stays next to the body and visits native home watching loved ones. Therefore, do not neglect the ritual if you want the spirit of a person dear to your heart to find peace.

When the coffin with the body of the deceased was taken out, be sure to wipe the floors in all rooms - wash the spirit of death from the house. And so that no one else suffers from the old woman with a scythe, you should pour a handful of zhit after the deceased - close the road.

If the superstitions associated with the funeral and the meeting on the street of the mourning procession are true, then the disease of the joints (in the common people - growths on the bones) will soon strike the one who crossed the road in front of the procession.

Below you will find signs that people who have buried loved one- when you can open the mirror after the funeral, do cleaning and repairs, watch TV. There are many restrictions and prohibitions that were invented by our ancestors, for the most part, back in pre-Christian times.

When to open the mirror

A well-known fact - after the death of a person, it is supposed to close all reflective surfaces. These are not only mirrors, but also TVs, computer monitors and other things in which you can see your reflection. This is done so that the reflection of the deceased does not remain in the house, and his ghost is not alive.

About when you can open the mirror after the funeral, it will take a lot. One at a time, you can do it right away after returning from the cemetery and commemoration. According to other beliefs, this is done after three days, or not earlier than the ninth day after death. But these are all modern traditions. In the villages to this day they remove the curtains from the mirrors only on the 41st day when the fate of the soul of the deceased has already been decided.

Signs are based on the path of the deceased. So, after three days after death, the guardian angel takes him away to inspect paradise. For 9 days, he will appear before the Lord and go to inspect hell. On the 40th day, the soul is given the final verdict on where it will stay. Since only the first three days after death the soul is among the living, you can open the mirrors after it leaves it. That is, on the fourth day. It used to be that all 40 days the soul can visit relatives from time to time. Therefore, they did not open the mirrors all this time.

Sometimes the mirrors do not hang at all. For example, when a person died in a hospital, and his body is taken to the cemetery from the morgue, and not from home. It is not right. The soul of a person will still return home and stay near people close to him during his lifetime. Sometimes only those mirrors that are located where the deceased is located are closed. It is also not true, because the soul will wander through all the rooms of the house.

Some Slavic omens they say that the one who first looks into the mirror opened after the funeral will soon die. To prevent this, the cat is brought to the mirror first. She is not afraid of this sign.

Can I watch TV

For obvious reasons, there are no old signs about this, but as mentioned above, TVs are supposed to be closed, like mirrors. You can open them simultaneously with mirrors. That is, either after the funeral, or after the third, ninth or fortieth day.

You can watch news, educational programs, but it is better to postpone watching movies and talk shows. You can not turn on the TV in the house where the deceased lies. Wait until the funeral is over. If the deceased was not a person close to you, the restriction does not apply to you.

These rules also apply to listening to music. The exception is church hymns. If you have such a desire, you can listen to classical music. By the way, the funeral orchestra is a Soviet innovation. In the old days, they were accompanied by prayers and religious chants.

Do you keep photos of the dead?

The answer is positive. Photos are memories of dear person, a memory for his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. By destroying photographs of the deceased, you allow his descendants to never know about him.

But still the image of the deceased is associated with world of the dead . Psychics can tell from a photo whether a person is alive or not. Therefore, it is not worth looking at photographs of the deceased too often. You can also not overdo it with their number on the walls, shelves and tables. Do not hang near portraits of living people, separate living and dead energies. The best place for storage - a photo album.

Much more negative are the photographs taken during the funeral. It's best not to do them. But, if there are already photos, it is better to destroy them. It doesn't matter what is depicted there - a coffin, a cemetery, a funeral process, they are a strong source of necrotic energy.

When to clean the apartment

While there is a dead person in the house, cleaning and taking out the trash is not allowed. Otherwise, another person in this house may die. According to legend, the cleaner will sweep or wash him out of the dwelling.

You need to clean up immediately after the removal of the coffin. For the deceased, they sweep and wash the floors at a time when the mourners on their last journey have already left for the cemetery. This is done to immediately sweep away death, illness, grief from the house.

Moreover, such light cleaning cannot be done by blood relatives of the deceased. It is better for them to contact the emanations of death less, so that the deceased does not take his loved ones with him. Do not clean up after the dead and pregnant women. Usually one of the family friends is asked to sweep and mop the floor. Only he must remain in the apartment after the removal of the coffin. After that, the person joins the mourners at the wake, he is not present at the cemetery.

Some things are especially strongly saturated with the energy of death. So, the stools or table on which the coffin stood are taken out into the street for several days and left there with their legs up. This is done in order to get rid of this energy. The apartment has a balcony.

Be sure to take everything from the house that is connected with the mournful ceremony. These are the remnants of fabric for upholstery of the coffin, chips from it, as well as other ritual paraphernalia, except for a portrait with a black ribbon, a glass of water and a piece of bread. All flowers brought by the mourners are supposed to be left on the grave - they are intended for the deceased.

They also do not leave in the house the tool that was used to take measurements for the coffin, it brings death to another tenant during the year. Nothing is taken from the coffin. The ropes with which they tied the hands of the deceased, the pennies that lay in front of their eyes - all this should remain in the coffin. Candles are taken to the cemetery, as well as the grain in which they stood. It is also impossible to store the icon that stood in front of the coffin. She is allowed down the river or taken to the church.

When is it possible to clean up after the funeral, if the question is general cleaning or tidying up the room of the deceased? At any time, but after the commemoration or the removal of the coffin. If at the same time you open the mirrors, they should also be washed. If you decide to keep them closed for 3, 9, or 40 days, save that for later.

Is it possible to make repairs

Repair after the funeral can be done, but only as it passes 40 days after death. The soul of the deceased visits from time to time to see how loved ones live. She would like to see the familiar environment, changes can anger the spirit.

After 40 days, at least, it will be necessary to replace the bed on which the deceased slept, as well as the bed (sofa, floor or staircase covering, armchair, etc.) that has become a deathbed. bed dead man You can't use his bloodline. It can be given away or sold. Putting a new bed is optional, use the freed space as you see fit.

The place of death will exude necrotic energy for several more years. Therefore, it is supposed to replace everything that came into contact with the dying, be it the floor covering where he fell, or furniture and bed linen. As a rule, such things are thrown away or burned. In the villages, they act a little differently - they take them to the chicken coop for three, so that the rooster "sings all the negativity."

Deceased's personal belongings, as a rule, distribute to the poor or sell. This doesn't just apply to clothes. Favorite cup or plate, ashtray, anti-stress toy - you should not keep it all. Although many leave in memory of the deceased.

What else not to do after the funeral

In the house where the person died, you can not do laundry. This prohibition is valid while the coffin is in the house. That is, after the funeral, you can start putting your clothes in order.

Can I swim after the funeral? Beliefs recommend doing this at the same time when you decide to remove the fabric from reflective surfaces. That is, immediately after the commemoration, in three, nine or forty days. In the old days, they washed only on the 41st day after death.

Among the things not to do after the funeral are noisy holidays. It is undesirable to arrange celebrations within 40 days. Birthday party better to reschedule or cancel altogether. But you can celebrate it modestly, in the family circle, without loud music and noise.

A nine-day, and preferably a forty-day ban also applies to a wedding, but here it all depends on emotional state relatives of the deceased. In addition, a wedding is a pre-arranged event associated with high costs. If you are getting married earlier than forty days have passed since the death of a relative, during the celebration you need to mention this and pay tribute to the memory of the deceased. Weddings are allowed at any time.

Many believe that among the things not to do after the funeral of a loved one are trips and travel. This is not true. They will help to distract, but during the trip it is worth giving up various entertainment activities. Do not forget to remember the deceased and pray for his soul during the holidays.

In addition, the relatives of the deceased cannot sew and have their hair cut for forty days. If there is a need to repair clothes, you will have to do this. But tailoring, which is not urgent, should be postponed. The same goes for haircuts. Bangs interfere with daily activities? Get rid of her. But if it's about changing your image, do it in forty days.

The same amount of time for the family of the deceased you can't drink alcohol. Perhaps the ban is due to the fact that grief is an accomplice of alcoholism. But funeral signs also forbid drinking at the wake. The reason is that alcoholism is a sin. For forty days, relatives can pray for a sinful person. If at this time they sin, it will only complicate his afterlife.

After the funeral, they go only to the wake, and from there - home. You can’t go to visit, otherwise death will come to that house. You can visit or go on business only on the day following the funeral and commemoration. The commemoration is also the ninth and fortieth day, and after them this prohibition also applies. You can also not go to celebrations that take place in public places - birthdays, weddings.

They don't go from wake to wake. If two deceased are commemorated on the same day, choose the one who is closer to you. But you can also say goodbye to several dead people, support relatives, and express grief. During the funeral, do not visit the graves of relatives and friends. This time you came to only one deceased, and visiting others will be regarded as disrespectful.

Church opinion

There are many beliefs that are supposed to be observed after the funeral. This will help protect against necrotic energy, diseases and other troubles. In addition, some signs are aimed at improving afterlife the deceased and his cleansing from sins.

Funerals are a sad but inevitable reality. Death has always been incomprehensible, frightened by its inevitability, the inability to predict what is there, beyond its threshold? Perhaps that is why the funeral rite, perhaps more than all the others, is surrounded by a halo of signs, rules, superstitions. People tried to distance themselves from the deceased, to save the lives of other family members. This childishly unsophisticated faith, the desire to eliminate the frightening unknown has remained to this day. Signs, superstitions have become almost mandatory rules for the ritual.

The first requirement is to close the mirrors where there is a dead person. It is believed that the soul can go to the mirror, stay to live there. She will frighten her relatives, she will not be able to leave this world.

According to another version, if the deceased is reflected in the mirror, then he will “double”, take one of his friends or relatives.

Funeral signs offer to close the eyes of the deceased. Previously, this was done with the help of copper nickels, today they use large coins. open eyes the deceased, our ancestors believed, looked out among those present for the one who would die next.

Seeing off the deceased, you should definitely put a few coins, a handkerchief, a comb with him. This set, as was previously thought, will help to overcome the long path to paradise, pay for the road, appear before the Almighty in a decent form.

But photographs of the living cannot be put in a coffin. Otherwise, they too will be buried.

The deceased person was necessarily washed to cleanse the body. The soul is cleansed by itself, for this you need to put a glass of water on the windowsill. It will be a bath for the soul.

Signs at a funeral forbid pregnant women or close relatives from washing the body of the deceased. Carry out the coffin, too, must not blood relatives. Otherwise, the deceased will decide that his death is welcome. It's better if it's just friends or acquaintances. Their hand, as a sign of gratitude from the deceased, is tied with a new towel, sometimes with a handkerchief.

Where they say goodbye to the deceased, it is not recommended to wash or sweep the floor. It was believed that the living would die in this way, "swept out" for the dead. This must be done immediately after the domino is carried out of the house. Turn the table where the domina stood, and throw away the bed, the dead man.

Signs at a funeral advise how to deal with things, property of the deceased. It is not recommended to touch them for up to forty days, and after the soul passes, all things must be quickly distributed to those in need, taken to the cathedral, church.

Almost all the signs at the funeral are aimed at protecting others from damage that can be caused evil people using funeral props.

Before laying the deceased in the coffin, his hands and feet are tied. quite understandable from modern point the rite was considered a way of not allowing the dead to get up, walk the earth, frighten the living. Before closing the lid of the coffin, and then lowering it into the grave, the legs and hands are untied.

These ropes can be used to death, so witches or black healers always try to steal the ropes. In order to prevent this from happening, they put a special observer. Usually this elderly woman well acquainted with the rituals.

Signs and superstitions at the funeral prescribe how to behave during the ceremony. You can not step on the towels where the coffin is installed, bring any objects, flowers from the cemetery. When returning home, be sure to rinse your hands.

You can’t cross the road in front of the dead: you will die very soon.

To prevent this from happening, the dead man must be appeased - put a pinch of salt and bread in his coffin.

You can’t clean the house when there is a coffin with a dead person in it - this way you can attract another death. And vice versa - after sending to the cemetery, one person should remain in the housing, who will restore order there and “sweep” it.

If the coffin fell, this does not bode well, but it is not worth scolding those who did not hold it or accidentally knocked it over. Instead, it is better to come home and thoroughly wash your hands from the hands to the very elbows, and after that or the next day go to church and light a candle for the repose of the soul of the deceased.

Raven in the cemetery: why?

Ravens are considered a symbol of evil and the underworld, so they usually live in every cemetery. Some people do not attach any importance to this, while others are still guided by some signs:

The crow sits on the roof of the church and croaks - reports the imminent appearance of the deceased. It is impossible to understand to whom exactly this refers, therefore, to address Special attention not worth the situation.
The raven sat on the tombstone - reports the sudden death of the priest of this parish.
The bird perched on the cross and clearly points with its tail to concrete house which means that soon death will happen in this house.

If during your lifetime you sat at the same table with a person, drank strong drinks and had a good time, then this person will not refuse to drink five drops with you even after death.

After returning from the funeral, touch the stove with your hand - so that there will not be a new dead person in the house for a long time. This sign is due to the fact that the furnace is directly related to. It's probably not even worth explaining. Old people say that if you hold on to the stove after the cemetery, then everything bad omens burn at the root. Therefore, it is imperative that after you return from the funeral, if you do not hold on to the stove, you never know, maybe there is no stove, then be sure to light a candle. A candle is also a fire that can burn all negative energies.

After the funeral, there is a glass of water on the windowsill - the deceased comes and drinks from this glass. Firstly, a glass of water does not have to be placed on the windowsill. It is enough that you put it in any convenient place. And it is best to put a glass where the deceased liked to sit and, tea or any other drink. It is noticed that the water gradually decreases in the glass. Evaporates or not, think for yourself, but it really is. Moreover, if before the fortieth day the glass is half empty, then water must be added.

Signs at the funeral must be observed unquestioningly. Otherwise it can not be. A person is born, grows, lives - at every step we encounter signs. But if during life the consequences of not fulfilling the signs can be somehow corrected, then after death this can no longer be done. Therefore, you need to be extremely careful, then you will be able to live longer and happier.
