Why Epiphany on January 19?
At the end of the 4th century, the first ancient tradition violated in Rome when they began to celebrate in different days. Then other cities and countries picked up this innovation.
January 19 falls on January 6 according to the Julian calendar, when the Patriarch of Constantinople consecrates the waters of the Hellespont.
Celebration period: 4 days before and 8 days after.
Where did the date of January 19 and the feast of Epiphany come from for the Orthodox? The history of the feast of the Epiphany on January 19.
January 19 is the day of the Baptism of Jesus Christ in the sacred waters of the Jordan River. This is the 13th day from the birth of Jesus Christ. This answers the question: what is Jordanian water on January 18th.

The rite of bathing in a very cold water came from the ancient Scythians. They plunged into ice water their children for the purpose of hardening and it was a pagan rite. After the Baptism of Russia, he was associated with Christianity and was called Baptism.
Even before the adoption of Christianity in Russia, it was believed that water cleanses and protects from troubles, gives life. Water was called Mother, Queen.

Traditional dishes for the Feast of the Epiphany
by the king holiday table is a pig, this dish is placed in the center of the table. The owner, who is also the head of the family, handed out pieces to everyone, breaking off from the whole dish. Under the table, the youngest member of the family grunted.
In the morning on an empty stomach, lean cookies baked in the shape of a cross were consumed and washed down with holy water. At the same time, unsuccessful pastries were not eaten by people, but were given to street birds for food.
A successful cookie meant good, and an unsuccessful one meant problems or trouble. I think it can be recalled that successful baking is not burnt and not cracked. Should be ruddy and well baked.
Then honey pancakes or pancakes were served on the table without fail. Eating such pancakes meant attracting a large number of money.
On this day, worship is held on open water bodies and rivers. To do this, men cut a hole in the form of a cross. The name of such an ice-hole is Jordan. The priest blesses the water. If it is not possible to consecrate the water in the reservoir, then the service takes place near the temple.
The ice-hole is decorated, chapels are built from ice.
When does bathing take place in the hole at the Baptism of Christ?
Many priests from the morning of January 19, after the service ends at the Epiphany Liturgy, go to bless the rivers or lakes that are in the vicinity.
The rite of consecration of water consists in reading prayers and immersing the cross three times in water.

- It is possible only when there is a person nearby who will help you at any moment.
- You can not drink alcoholic beverages and smoke.
- You can't swim on an empty stomach.

Water is a miraculous power that heals and helps all believers. It was believed in ancient times and now everyone more people bathe in an ice-hole and are baptized.
In addition to the rite of bathing (Baptism), many Orthodox draw water into their dishes for storage.
In the end church rite doves are released - a symbol of the renewal of the old and the end of the holiday.

Like a man came to the river, O Christ the King, and strive to receive a slave's baptism, Blessed, from the Forerunner's hand, sin for our sakes, Lover of mankind!
Glory, and now: To the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, Thou hast come, Lord, we accept the sight of a slave, asking for baptism, knowing no sin.

And wake up clean tomorrow!

We will only become healthier!
Boldly accept Baptism,

Behind Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year Christmas time, Epiphany is coming...
The feast of the Baptism of the Lord, as it were, completes Christmas time. This day is celebrated in memory of the baptism of Jesus Christ by John the Baptist in the waters of the Jordan River. This holiday is also called Theophany, because during the baptism of Jesus Christ, a dove flew down from heaven - the Holy Spirit - and the voice of God rang out, saying that Jesus Christ is His beloved Son.
At Epiphany, churches bless the water. It has long been a custom for Orthodox Christians to bring holy water home and store it carefully. This water is considered healing, they drink it, wash their faces with it, sprinkle the house.
In ancient times, Baptism was considered a turning point. That evening they hoped for the best, made plans, made wishes. “On the Epiphany night, the sky opens,” the people said. And of course, no Epiphany Christmas Eve was complete without fortune-telling. Any fortune-telling at all times was condemned by the church, since the fortune-teller entrusts his soul to evil spirits for a while. It is for this reason that divination was timed to coincide with 12 o'clock at night. The next day, on Epiphany, they always plunged into the hole, thus washing away their sins.
Today, nothing has changed, and many girls also cannot resist the temptation to know their fate. In frosty Epiphany night beautiful girls gather at one of the girlfriends at home and begin to guess.

He will go to a golden object - to be a rich husband, he will choose a copper ring - you, poor fellow, will live all your life with a poor lazy person.

It is better to guess in non-residential premises or in the attic. One girl with flowing hair should guess, spectators may be present, but at a sufficient distance.
In Russia, people used to tell fortunes on mirrors in the village so-called black bath, because, according to popular beliefs, evil spirits live here.

Another name for the holiday of Epiphany is Epiphany. On this day, according to Christian teaching, God appeared as God the Father - in a voice that came from heaven, as the Son of God - in the flesh of Jesus, who was baptized in the Jordan River, and as the Holy Spirit - in the form of a dove.
Our ancestors sacredly believed: at midnight on this day, miracles happen: absolute silence reigns on Earth, water in the rivers stops its flow, and the heavens open.

When is it possible and when not to guess?
The period from Christmas to Epiphany is called Christmas time, and it was on these winter days that our ancestors divined even before the adoption of Christianity. It was believed that in this mysterious time spirits descend to Earth that can answer exciting questions and even make wishes come true.
It is advisable to ask questions about personal life, about the health of loved ones, about the financial situation, about adding to the family on the eve of Epiphany, that is, on the evening of January 18th. At this time, you can get the most clear and truthful answers about your future, down to the name of the betrothed and the number of children.
Important! Christmas rituals are allowed only until midnight, that is, before the start of the holiday. Since ancient times, there has been a ban on fortune-telling after 00:00, which was strictly observed by God-fearing Russian girls.
Thus, those who did not have time to tell fortunes during Christmas time and before the start of Epiphany days will have to postpone fortune-telling for a whole year.
How did our ancestors guess?
Since ancient times, girls in the villages guessed on shoes. Going outside the outskirts, they took off the shoe from their left foot and threw it as far as possible in front of them. The toe of the shoe was supposed to indicate the direction from which the betrothed would come to pick up his bride from his father's house. If the shoe was turned toe to his native village, this meant that the fortuneteller would not see marriage this year.
On the eve of Epiphany, the girls approached the doors of the locked church one by one and listened to the sounds coming from inside. If a girl thought that she heard the ringing of a bell, this prophesied a quick wedding, and a thud meant the death of someone close.
The following custom was popular not only among girls, but also among guys. They went out into the street in a crowd and asked the names of passers-by. It was believed that this was the name of the future chosen one or chosen one.
Safe Divination
Divination without the use of black magic is considered safe. They will not cause any harm, even if all the rules of the rite are not followed. In this case, the answer may be wrong, but nothing bad will definitely happen.
Divination for the betrothed
Closer to midnight, the girl begins to sweep a narrow path in her room, perpendicular to the front door. You need to notice this way: movement to the left, movement to the right, while the movement to the left should be directed towards the door.
1 minute before midnight, you need to say: “The betrothed-mummer, appear before me!” The experience of fortunetellers promises that for a moment you can see the image of your future chosen one in front of you. He can appear in the form of a silhouette or a face, looking at which you can even recognize one of the contenders for the hand and heart.
Important! The image of the betrothed will never appear if you are guessing with your friends or simply will not be alone in the room.
Do not be afraid to be all alone, because fortune telling is completely safe. But you should not look in the mirror during the ceremony either: there you can see a false image, distorted and even frightening.
Fortune telling on an onion
If you have several applicants for a hand and heart, simple onions will help you make your choice on the eve of Epiphany. We pin a leaflet with the name of the applicant with a needle on each bulb, put them in a glass of water. The bulb that grows faster will denote the one whose desire to be your husband is more insistent and whose love is stronger.
Fortune telling on frozen water
This divination is carried out when married woman worries about the future of motherhood. You need to take your wedding ring and lower it into a container of water. Set to Epiphany frost before midnight, and evaluate the result in the morning. If the surface of the frozen water is even, then there is no need to expect an increase in the family. Tubercles on the surface mean the imminent birth of a son, and notches - a daughter.
How can you not guess at Baptism?
To get a reliable result, you should adhere to the following recommendations during fortune-telling:
Do not guess repeatedly on the same question;
Only girls who have not been previously married can guess at the betrothed;
All home rituals can be performed alone, street rituals can be performed in a company;
Fortune-telling with holy water should be carried out once, without wasting it in vain;
Do not dilute ordinary holy water;
Fortune-telling only by candlelight, while the sources of artificial light must be extinguished;
you can not make the same wish again;
· you can not make wishes aimed at the destruction and illness of someone from the living.
Dangerous divination
Since ancient times, rituals with mirrors have been considered dangerous divination. And until now, magicians claim that the mirror connects our reality with the other world, and through this entrance, spirits and ghosts can enter the world of the living.
Incorrectly performed fortune-telling can bring trouble not only to the fortuneteller himself, but also to his environment, especially to the residents of the house where the ceremony is performed. Therefore, you should not joke with such things, and if you decide on fortune-telling with a mirror, follow all the rules.
In a room with one door, put a mirror, in front of it - two candles. Place the second mirror opposite: it will be behind your back. Closer to twelve at night, turn off the lights and light candles and sit in front of a mirror. Look at the reflection behind your back, but in no case look back. AT rear mirror an image of the future chosen one may appear. Do not extinguish the candles until the image has disappeared.
Dangers are fraught with other fortune-telling - fortune-telling in the bath. Our ancestors were sure that it was in the bath that evil spirits lived. On the night of January 18-19, they undressed and spoke conspiracies in the bathhouse. Then they approached the blower and took out stones from the ashes. One stone promised a lonely life. Two - two children in the future. Three stones prophesied a quick wedding, which, however, would not be the beginning of a happy one. family life, but will bring sorrow to the girl's life. Four stones foreshadowed quarrels with the mother-in-law. Five stones were considered a great success: they predicted well-being in family life and a good financial situation. Six stones were feared like fire: it was a sign of misfortune.
How to protect yourself during fortune telling?
Our ancestors did not even doubt that on the last evening of Christmas time, evil spirits roam the Earth and try to enter residential buildings to harm people.
Divination, like any magical rites, help to attract spirits, both good and evil. Therefore, protecting your home this evening will not be superfluous. So that evil spirits cannot enter the dwelling, on window frames and on all doors it is necessary to draw crosses with chalk.
Since ancient times, there has been a tradition to bathe in the Epiphany font, but today not everyone has such an opportunity. Instead, it is advisable to wash yourself with holy water after divination, or at least just take a shower to wash off negative energy from yourself.
