Festive church days in March

In essence, the Orthodox Church Calendar-Polelia consists of two parts - stationary and mobile.
The fixed part of the church calendar is Julian calendar, consisting by 13 days with the Gregorian. These holidays come annually on the same number of the same month.

The movable part of the church calendar moves along with a changing year from the year of the date of the celebration of Easter. Easter celebration itself is determined according to lunar calendar And a number of additional dogmatic factors (not to celebrate Easter with Jews, celebrate Easter only after the spring equinox, celebrate Easter only after the first spring full moon). All holidays with variable dates are counted from Easter and moved in time of the "secular" calendar with it.

Thus, both parts of the Easter calendar (movable and fixed) together determine the calendar of the Orthodox holidays.

Fast - the form of religious asceticism, the exercise of the Spirit, soul and body on the way to salvation in the framework of religious reference; Voluntary self-limitation in food, entertainment, communication with the world. Foreign post - restriction in food; soul post - restriction of external impressions and pleasures (privacy, silence, prayer concentration); spiritual post - Fighting with their "bodily lusts", a period of particularly intense prayer.

The most important thing is to be aware that full post. without spiritual post Nothing brings to the rescue of the soul. Even on the contrary, it may be spiritually harmful if a person abstaining from food is penetrated by the consciousness of his own superiority and righteousness. "The one who believes is mistaken that the post is only in abstinence from food. True post, "teaches St. John Zlatoust," there is a removal from evil, curbing a language, anger deposition, lustfulness, cessation of slander, lies and oaths. " Fast - not a goal, and the tool to distract from the help of his body, focus and think about his soul; Without all this, he becomes just a diet.

Forty Seva's Martyrs or Lark

This date has two shades - the memorial, which is adopted in the Orthodox Church and the celebrating, which is present in the people's calendar.
Commemorate this day ( March 22.) Forty martyrs who died in the 4th century, protecting the faith of Jesus Christ in Sevastia. The bravets were born in Cappadocia, and when they heard the requirement to bring the victim pagan gods, refused. In honor of the refusal, all forty people were cozy to the ice lake, next to which the Chan with boiling water was installed in order to those who still want to renounce Jesus Christ, were able to escape. Until in the morning, only one martyr tried to plunge into this Chan, after which he immediately died, only strengthening the belief of the brothers. Roman Ageli, who was struck by the resistance of the Spirit and the power of the faith of each of the plants in the lake, is undressed and joined them.
According to the old legends of the Romans, who saw non-freezing martyrs, could not stand and decided to kill them and burn them. So that none of the Christians assemble and did not burn bones, they were cut off into the water. Three days later, exactly each of the saints appeared in a dream Blessed Peter demanding the burial of their remains.
This holiday for the Orthodox Church is one of the most significant, so this day is facilitated by the strictest rules of the Great Post, and even the liturgy of the requested gifts is performed. All the names of the martyrs were documented and marked as calendar name days.
According to the same folk calendar, On this day, winter ends and spring begins, and also often this date is interconnected with spring equinox. For a holiday by tradition, tastes in the form of birds or the sun bake.

It was also believed that in the master's house where there is a swirl nest, will always flourish happiness, harmony of spirit and love.
Birds with open wings and nests were baked in order to arrange in the garden on the branches of trees - it was believed that if you hold a similar rite regularly during this period, the cold of winter will rise of bread treats and will not interfere with the spring harvest. On the same day, every believer recalled all the spring and fought them, in order to encourage the warm season as soon as possible.
The traditions of celebration depending on the region differ very much. In the Voronezh region, for example, the oven does not cook cookies, but pancakes, spread them in the form of a bird with a cruciform tail and put the coin inside the test for happiness and good luck.
In order to maintain your ability and good luck in love, the young Virgin of Pereyaslavdshchinsky was drunk on this day for forty dumplings with cottage cheese and treated young people.
In Kargopol, this holiday is referred to as a aunty day, and treats bake in the shape of the sun.
It is especially interesting how this holiday is celebrated in the Belarusian edges by tradition. The girls who finished working, become small groups rather far from each other on the banks of the river or other reservoir (if not, just for the village). Each group, sequentially begins to sing a spring, sinking each vehicle.

The Lord himself came in Saint Evdokia in a sleepy vision and said: "Rodid, Evdokia, Knee, pray, and raise your temptation." And on the prayer of Evdokia, Philostrat came to life. Return back to the life of the pagan was illuminated to forgive him. Take holy baptism, he retired to or coverage. Since then, he has never forgotten the grace of God, manifested him, and became the path of repentance.

It passed a little time, as the other test followed. Residents of or covers reported to the ruler Areralian, which, having accepted Christianity, Evdokia allegedly hid his wealth in the monastery. Averalian sent a squad of warriors to withdraw these imaginary treasures. However, for three days, the warriors tried in vain to approach the walls of the monastery: the invisible power of God guarded it. Averalian again sent warriors to the monastery, this time under the leadership of his son. But on the very first day of the way, the son of Aurelian greatly damaged his leg and soon died. Then Philostrat advised Aurelian to write refuge Evdokia, praying her to revive the young man. And the Lord, in his infinite grace, the prayers of Saint Evdokia returned the young man to life. After witnessing the great miracle, Averalian and his neighbor believed in Christ and baptized.

When the persecution of Christians strengthened, Rev. Eddokia grabbed and led to the torment to the ruler Diogen. The defendant of her military leader Diodorus received news of the sudden death of his wife's company. In desperation, he rushed to Saint Evdokia with a request to pray for the dead. The pretensistant, filled with the Great Faith, turned to God with a prayer and asked him the return of firms to life. I am convinced of the person in the strength and goodness of the Lord, Diodor and Diogen believed in Christ and after some time they were baptized with their families. Reverend Evdokia lived for some time in the house of Diodorus and educated converts Christians.

One day the only son of some widow, working in the garden, was Snake and died. Mother bitterly mourned a deceased son. Having learned about her grief, the Holy Evdokia said Diodorus: "It's time to show your faith in the Almighty God, who hears the prayers of swinging sinners and fulfills their petitions in their mercy."

Dioiodor was embarrassed, not considering himself worthy of such a daring to God, but, obeying Saint Evdokia, prayed and the name of Christ commanded the dead to stand up. In the eyes of all those present, the young man came to life.

Reverend Evdokia returned to his monastery, in which she lasted 56 years. After the death of Diogen, the ruler was Vincent, a cruel persecutor of Christians. Having learned about the fearless confession of the Christian faith, he ordered her to execute her. March 1 (approx. 160-170) The Saint Recovership of Evdokia was beheaded.
