Signs at a funeral: what not to do so as not to bring about a new misfortune Life is a fragile and impermanent thing. Sooner or later, everyone appears before God, and there is nothing more mysterious and mythologized than death. In the Christian religion, many signs and superstitions are associated with death and funeral rites. Their variety and compliance rules depend on the country and its specific region. In many cases they may differ slightly, but most of the signs associated with funerals are the same for all Christian believers. The main folk signs about funerals

The tradition of the funeral rite is strictly regulated. All stages of burial are accompanied not only by church rituals and canons, but also by a number of signs, the observance of which is intended to facilitate the transition of the soul of the deceased to another world, and to ensure the peace and well-being of the living. The main signs that our ancestors believed and followed are based on many years of observations of people and the high probability of their implementation due to the strong and heavy energy of death. From time immemorial, first of all at funerals: Pregnant women were protected. During pregnancy, any stress is contraindicated for women. Funerals and the associated experiences and worries negatively affect not only the psyche of a pregnant woman, but also her aura and the energy of the unborn child. Therefore, it is undesirable for pregnant women to stay in a house where a deceased person is located. But if it is impossible to avoid attending the funeral, then the woman leaves the house before the deceased is taken out of it. It is believed that the soul of the deceased can take with it the soul of the unborn child. They took care of the children. The fragile and vulnerable aura of children should not be influenced by the heavy energy of death. During the entire process of the funeral rites, they are taken to another house for supervision. If it is not possible to meet this condition, then adults strictly ensure that the child is not left alone with the deceased, does not have the opportunity to take or put anything in the coffin, and does not disturb the course of the ceremony with noise and screaming. These and other unconscious actions of a child can cause trouble, illness or even death of relatives.

They observed mourning. Mourning grief and sadness for a deceased person has a specific duration prescribed by Christian customs. Traditionally, mourning lasts one year. During this period, close relatives of the deceased wear dark clothes, women cover their heads with black scarves, the whole family does not participate in noisy festivities and does not hold celebrations on the occasion of weddings or any family holidays. Fun organized shortly after the death of a loved one promises grief, a series of troubles or death for his relatives. Signs during preparation and conduct of funeral rites

All processes of preparation for the funeral and burial of the body of the deceased are accompanied by mandatory signs: After the death of a person, mirrors and all mirrored surfaces in the house are covered with thick fabric. Mirrors are considered a “trap” in which the soul of the deceased can not only be reflected, but also get stuck before moving on to another world. Mirrors should be hung for forty days, or at least on those days when the deceased is remembered. Water after washing the deceased is considered magically strong and is a powerful attribute for causing damage. Therefore, after washing the body of the deceased, water is poured into places where people do not go, and soap, a comb and other items that were used in the washing process are placed in the coffin.

In the house where the deceased is located, spruce or pine branches are placed at the threshold in order to protect people who come to see the deceased on his last journey from the energy of death. The needles have the ability to retain negative energy, and people will not take death into their home. The chairs, stools or benches on which the coffin stood are turned upside down after the deceased is taken out of the house. You can return them to their usual position within a day. This way the spirit of the deceased will have no place to return to. An ax will help to “cut” the energy of death in this place, which should also lie there for a day. The floor in the house behind the deceased is washed with spring water in order to remove the spirit of death from the room with living energy. Wash all rooms in the direction from the far corner to the front door. Death will also not return to the house if the road is sprinkled with rye after the deceased.

#FuneralSigns

In our time, the wrong funeral ritual has become very widespread, and therefore black magic makes full use of this ritual to cause severe damage.

When a person dies, as is known, his soul leaves the body, that is, the astral body separates from the physical body. But for 40 days the soul is next to the body - it sees and hears everything. People with clairvoyance can observe her.

According to Orthodox canons, a dying person must confess, receive communion and receive the Unction of Oil. Otherwise, all the sins that a person committed during his lifetime go to his heirs. Therefore, it is very important to adhere to the basic rules of burial:

Firstly: the water that was used to wash the body must be poured into a place where people do not go - dig a hole and, having poured out the water, cross this place. If this is not done, then you can cause damage to death, skin diseases, serious illnesses, and destruction of the family, both for yourself and for others. Under no circumstances should you pour water into the toilet, as this can lead to diseases of the genitourinary system. Any dubious “grandmothers” should not be allowed to wash the body of the deceased; they then use this water, adding it to the food of the future victim.

The water with which the body of the deceased was washed, the so-called “wetting”, is very often used to induce death, damage to erysipelas, destruction of the family, etc. After ablution, it is better to take the water outside the house or yard and pour it into a hole, crossing that place. You can’t even pour it down the toilet, as this can lead to fibroids, cysts and other diseases.

All belongings of the deceased, including bed linen and blankets (especially if the person has been ill for a long time) must be burned. It is impossible to clean such things!!! You can buy any thing, but you can’t buy new health!

All flowers that were brought to the deceased should be left at the cemetery, but under no circumstances should they be scattered along the road!!! You cannot pick these flowers, step on them, or even bring them into the house.

Do not allow strangers to the coffin. Many sorcerers, witches, magicians (conductors of dark forces) specifically go and look for crowded funerals in order to put a photograph or personal item of the next victim in the coffin. This will cause the unfortunate victim to become very sick and eventually die. You cannot eat bread from the lid of a coffin. It needs to be crumbled on a buried grave for the birds, as the soul goes up.

Nothing can be placed in the coffin except a special set purchased from the church. You need to pour 3 handfuls of earth into the hole with the coffin, but you need to do this carefully, without throwing it over people’s heads, as this can harm them. There is a misconception that if you sprinkle such earth on a person’s collar, he will stop being afraid of the dead. So, this is absolutely impossible to do. Upon returning from the cemetery, you must wash your hands. There is no need to throw your handkerchief into the hole, this automatically harms the nervous system.

You only need to kiss the deceased on the forehead through the “gateway”

Pregnant women and children should not be allowed to attend funerals as they are the most vulnerable. You should visit the cemetery as rarely as possible, and when you get home, thoroughly wash your shoes, wash your clothes and take a bath.

If you have been told that ties from the legs and arms of the deceased can help, this is a huge misconception; under no circumstances should you even pick them up, and if someone asks for them, do not give them to them. Ties are the strongest connection to the world of the dead; in fact, they are the strongest damage to the whole family. Scarves given at funerals cannot be taken home either - they must be left at the cemetery.

According to ancient canons (laws), the funeral service was performed by a priest while the deceased was still in the house. Sorcerers take earth from the cemetery to activate envoltation programs for death (damage), pouring it on the threshold, in their pockets, behind the collar, etc. victims. Everyone knows that soil taken from the cemetery after a funeral for sealing cannot be brought into the house and left in the entrance, otherwise the person is considered sealed. And the entrance too. This will lead to illnesses for the people living in this entrance.

In order not to harm yourself, it is better not to drink or eat anything at the cemetery, and even more so not to take anything from the graves; on the memorial day, when you come to the cemetery, it is better to put a candle on the grave, pray for the repose of the soul of the deceased, and then order a memorial service from the monastery lunch, or just remember at home, but without alcohol.

Also, you cannot grieve deeply and for a long time, this will harm the soul of a loved one, and in return, sand and stones in the kidneys and gall bladder materialize in the grieving person. In a way, these are gravestones with which we block the departure of the dead into subsequent births. The dead begin to appear in dreams and call at night. Anyone who greatly regrets the deceased takes upon himself the obligation to work for him what was not worked. Without understanding this, such a person transfers the karma of the deceased onto himself. Doctors call these hereditary diseases.

Wheat from glasses that were used as candlesticks must be poured out in a place where people do not go, or on a grave. If you sprinkle this grain on a person, you can damage him. No knots should be tied when carrying out a dead body. If anyone has the idea of ​​burying a person in their clothes, don’t allow it. In this case, you are doomed - this is damage to death.

If one of your loved ones was not “sealed”, then you need to take the earth from his grave and take it to the church - seal it and take it back on the same day (light) - this earth CANNOT be brought home.

When making a coffin, measurements are always taken. It should not be placed on the bed or anywhere else in the house. It is best to take it out of the house and put it in a coffin during the funeral. Whatever is intended for the deceased at the funeral must all go with the deceased.

You must not step on the spread towel, and the towels on which the body was lowered must be thrown into the grave.

According to Orthodox laws, nothing can be written on wreaths, nor can fresh flowers be brought.

There should be no music at a funeral, only prayer!

It is advisable to invite the priest to the funeral service directly at the cemetery - he himself knows what needs to be done. You cannot cross the path of a funeral procession.

The water and bread that had stood for 40 days were poured out and crumbled on the grave. There is another “tradition” - eating bread from the lid of a coffin - the person who ate it will definitely get problems with the gastrointestinal tract.

There is a custom - put a glass of vodka and cover it with a piece of bread - for the deceased. Anyone who drinks this shot will receive damage to the vodka, because it is programmed for the deceased. And in general, the deceased does not need vodka - he needs prayer. The holy elders say that it burns the soul of the deceased. In general, commemorating a dead person with vodka is a great sin. You are dooming his soul to a bitter path. If you still want to remember the deceased, then pour vodka on the grave, at the feet. These stacks can no longer be used. If in the future someone drinks this vodka or another vodka from this glass, you can be sure that the person will be severely damaged by alcohol. And you will also hear from him: “I don’t want to drink, but something forces me.”

A person who has been damaged by vodka, like a carrier of the “virus,” infects his drinking buddies with this damage, turning the person into an aggressive, weak-willed and glass-dependent “zombie.” Therefore, the sooner loved ones start sounding the alarm and seek help, the easier it will be to get rid of such addiction.

If your mother or grandmother brewed and brews moonshine, then she “works” for the alcoholic demon, thereby causing a lot of evil to people (families break up, children suffer, cripples are born, many die). Other people's tears are not shed in vain. It’s not for nothing that people call moonshine the “green serpent.”

But God is merciful, and in every family a clan’s prayer book is born who is able to pray for his entire clan, often this understanding comes through troubles and illnesses, but if everything is done correctly, then the clan can be prayed for and our children and grandchildren will live in peace.

Sometimes at an appointment you can hear the question from patients: “Why did I, and not someone else from my family, fall under karma?” The answer is simple: someone in the family must be born as a man of prayer, he must atone for all the sins of the family. Such people often have troubles, frequent illnesses, and problems with children. As people say, life will force you, life will teach you.

Grave. The diggers, having dug the grave, no longer left it, guarding it “from demons.” Even in winter they lit a fire and waited for the procession to arrive. Sometimes pieces of wood were placed in a cross in the grave so that the demon would not touch the coffin.
Graves in cemeteries were placed so that the deceased “looked” to the east, i.e. lay with his feet to the east. The cross was placed at the feet.

Burial. The burial ceremony was performed before sunset, when the sun was still high, so that “the setting sun could take the deceased with it.”
They burned incense inside the grave. Then they closed the coffin, for the Orthodox they nailed it up with nails, for the Old Believers they often tied it with bird cherry branches or bast ropes. The coffin was lowered into the grave on towels or ropes. In the last century, logs were commonly placed at the bottom of the grave and the coffin was placed on them. At the beginning of this century, the custom arose of making a flooring of boards over the coffin, “plating” it, and then covering it with earth.
Also, church candles that burned during the funeral service were lowered into the grave along with the coffin.
The wife or close relative had to cry and lament; and the mourners also echo in chorus, wailing. The priest placed the letter of release into the hands of the deceased.
Close and relatives kissed the deceased for the last time, mourners threw a handful of earth into the grave with wishes: “May the earth rest in peace.”
In some places, small money was thrown into the grave, supposedly in order to buy a place in the cemetery for the deceased. Or so that the deceased can buy himself a place in the next world.
Many rituals for burying the deceased have survived to this day. To this day, people sometimes throw a “tear” handkerchief into the grave. After the grave is filled up, wreaths are placed on the grave hill, with flowers in the center. Sometimes they immediately put up a cross or a temporary obelisk, a memorial plaque with the last name, first name, date of birth and death.
It is considered a rule not to install a permanent monument on a grave earlier than a year after death.

Treat. Previously, after the coffin was lowered into the grave, everyone kissed the image, then ate kutya, always in three portions, starting with close relatives.
Now, after lowering the coffin into the grave, there also follows a treat for the cemetery workers-diggers, a short memorial meal in the graveyard with a drink “for the remembrance of the soul,” with kutya, pancakes, and scattering of leftover food on the grave for the birds (souls of the dead).

Alms. A special way of remembering the soul was secret, or hidden, alms. She obliged neighbors to pray for the deceased, while those praying took on part of the sins of the deceased. At the same time, for forty days the relatives of the deceased laid out alms on the windows and porches of the poorest neighbors (old people, old people, etc.): bread, pancakes, eggs, boxes of matches, sometimes larger things - scarves, pieces of fabric, etc. Like all funerals were a sacrifice, so alms were sacrificial food.
In addition to secret alms, there was open alms - “as a sign of memory” - the distribution of pies, cookies, sweets to the poor and Children at the cemetery gates. During the funeral service, a roll of bread and a lighted candle were also distributed to those present. In many places, each participant in the wake was given a new wooden spoon, so that when eating with this spoon the deceased would be remembered. To save a sinful soul, they made a donation for a new bell so that it would “ring out” the lost soul from hell, or they gave a rooster to the neighbors so that it would sing for the sins of the deceased.
There was a custom to give alms “through the coffin” on the day of the funeral. When they came to say goodbye to the house, everyone was given something to wear. So, if a woman died, forty shawl covers or pieces of cloth were distributed for a “zalon” (apron); if a man was dying - handkerchiefs and pieces of cloth for a shirt. If a girl was buried, calico headscarves were distributed to all her friends.
Be sure to serve it to the washers. In some villages, for example, a chicken was given to the washed woman “over the coffin.” Among the Komi-Permyaks, alms were received “through the coffin” by everyone who in any way participated in the funeral and came into contact with the deceased. Those who prayed and buried the deceased received money; those who carried the coffin were given towels, and the towels were given to the diggers; The washers were given the clothes of the deceased, and they were supposed to come to the funeral in these clothes.
Those participating in the funeral procession were given specially baked bread, flat cakes, gingerbread cookies, and children were given sweets.
The set of items that made up alms for the first person they met was very diverse: bread, thread, a needle, sometimes money, a mug, a spoon. In other places it was customary to give a piece of fish pie, an open spool of white and black thread, a needle, an onion, a tablespoon and a headscarf. Sometimes a bag containing a loaf of bread was simply served.
Nowadays, in addition to distributing alms to cemetery and church beggars, they usually distribute scarves to some loved ones at funerals. These scarves should be stored carefully.

Precautionary measures. While the funeral was taking place, relatives remaining at home, and sometimes neighbors, heated the bathhouse. Returning from the cemetery, people first went to the bathhouse, changed clothes, and only after that sat down at the table.
In order not to be afraid of the deceased later, his legs or heels were felt; they brought home some earth from the grave; Coming from the funeral, they opened the stove damper and looked into the stove. For the same reason, in some villages, widows or other relatives tried to jump over an already filled grave.
There was also such an ancient custom as throwing spruce or fir branches at the funeral procession. So in the old days they tried to block the path for the deceased so that he would not come and disturb him. They also placed heavy tombstones on the graves - also so that the dead could not get out.

Burial of the kings. The royal burial took place six weeks after death, and the body was placed in a coffin in the house church. The clerks of the cross read the psalter over him day and night and alternately spent the day over the deceased boyars, okolnichniki, and stolniks. Meanwhile, messengers were sent throughout the state, who brought money to all monasteries and churches for the service of requiem services; on holidays, during the service of requiem masses, a kutya was performed. These memorial services were served daily for six weeks, excluding Sundays.
On the fortieth day of his death, the burial of the royal person took place. Spiritual authorities, archimandrites and abbots flocked to Moscow from everywhere.
In the funeral procession, the clergy walked in front, the bishops and patriarchs walked behind the clergy, the clergy were followed by secular dignitaries, boyars and okolnichi, followed by the royal family, and followed by the boyars.
A multitude of people crowded behind the coffin, without ranks or varying degrees of dignity. There was no farewell before going into the grave.
Having lowered the body into the grave, the coffin was not covered with earth, but covered with a stone board. The pomp and expense of burial were commensurate with the importance of the deceased person. Thus, the burial of the king was carried out more magnificently than that of the princes, and the burial of the princes was more magnificent than the burial of the princesses.

Signs after and during funerals have been observed for hundreds of years. It is believed that neglecting them can lead to unpleasant consequences, even causing damage to oneself.

Signs after the funeral, before and during burial

There are many signs that prescribe to the relatives of the deceased and everyone else who came to see him off on his last journey, how to behave at the funeral, and what not to do. Some of them were lost in the past and have not survived to this day, but many signs associated with funerals are observed to this day.

Failure to comply with most superstitions and signs can lead to serious consequences - from illness to death. The energy of death is very heavy, and it does not forgive mistakes. Therefore, try to remember and follow the signs during the funeral.

In the past, everyone knew and followed. Modern people think little about how to properly organize a burial and what to do in general. It is difficult to find a representative of modern youth who would have such knowledge, so what happens during the burial is usually monitored by older people. But this does not mean that you do not need to adopt this experience.

Superstitions associated with funerals - in the house

Even during the existence of numerous funeral parlors, a considerable part of organizational issues lies with the relatives of the deceased person. There are many points to consider.

The deceased should not be left alone, not only in the house, but even in the room. Someone should always be near the coffin. There are many reasons for this. Items associated with the deceased have great magical power. Sometimes those who need these things for rituals try to steal them. Care should be taken to ensure that it does not fall into the wrong hands. The Church believes that the soul of the deceased needs prayer support, so you need to read the psalms and. In addition, leaving it unattended is disrespectful.

There is another reason for this. The eyes of the deceased may open, and the one on whom his gaze falls will soon die. In order to prevent this, there must be someone near the coffin who will close the eyes of the dead person in case they open.

You might be interested in the article: signs if.

Immediately after death, all mirror surfaces should be covered with an opaque cloth. This is necessary so that the soul of the deceased does not fall into the mirror world instead of the afterlife. The mirrors are not opened for forty days, because all this time the spirit is in its native places.

The piece of furniture on which the coffin rested should be turned upside down when it is taken to the cemetery. You can put it back only after a day has passed. If you ignore such a sign, the deceased may return as a spirit. To prevent the accumulation of negative death energy, an ax should be placed in the place of the coffin.

Under no circumstances should photographs be placed with the deceased, otherwise those depicted on them will die. This way you can cause damage and drive the enemy away from the world. However, this does not apply to photographs of those who have already died (for example, the parents of the deceased).

The water used to wash the deceased is poured out in deserted places. This way you will prevent its use in magic, because such water is not used for good deeds. Everything that was associated with the dead - a comb, soap used for washing, tourniquets, for tying hands and similar things - is placed in the coffin. They use such things only to cause damage.

When the deceased's legs feel warm until the burial, this is a harbinger of the imminent death of someone living in the house. To avoid this, the dead person should be appeased by placing bread and salt in the coffin.

While there is a deceased person in the house, you cannot sweep it away, so you can “sweep out” everyone who lives here into the cemetery. But when he is taken away to be buried, a person must remain who will sweep and wash the floor in order to drive death out of the home. Tools for such cleaning are immediately taken out of the room and thrown away somewhere; they cannot be stored or used.

You should definitely leave a new handkerchief in the coffin so that the deceased has something to wipe away sweat during the trial. Glasses, dentures and similar things should also be placed inside the coffin - personal items should go to another world along with the owner.

If a funeral is taking place near you and one of your family members is sleeping, be sure to wake them up, because the soul of the deceased can enter the sleeping person. Not all dead people calmly accept the fact that they can no longer live and try to remain in the world of the living. You should especially worry about children and keep them awake during the funeral. And if your baby is eating at this time, put water under the cradle.

Dogs and cats are not allowed into the room where the coffin is located. They may disturb his spirit. Jumped into a coffin. Howls and meows frighten the dead.

Fir branches are placed near the threshold of the house with the deceased so that relatives and friends who came to honor the memory do not carry death into their home.

You cannot sleep in a room with a deceased person. If this happens, you need to eat noodles for breakfast in the morning.

Only widows wash the dead. You need to wash and put on clean clothes before the body cools down. But after such an activity, you can do a ritual so that your hands never freeze. To do this, a small fire is lit from the wood chips and other wooden remains from which the coffin was made, and all participants in the washing warm their hands over it.

Why you can't watch a funeral through a window

If a funeral is taking place near you, you cannot look out the window, otherwise you will follow. There is such a sign, but few people know exactly why you can’t look through the window at a funeral. It is believed that for some time the soul of the deceased remains next to the body, which, as is known, is in the coffin during the funeral. She experiences discomfort from staring closely through the window glass, and even if a person who is good and kind in every sense is buried, his spirit can take revenge for such impoliteness.

It is known how the spirit of the deceased can take revenge - dragging it with it to the world of the dead. Old people claim that if you look out the window at a funeral or a deceased person in general, you can get seriously ill. This disease can be fatal. This belief especially concerns children, whose energy protection is weaker than that of adults. A vengeful spirit will be able to deal with a child much faster.

If a glance at the deceased was accidental, which is not at all uncommon, in the old days they immediately looked away and made the sign of the cross three times, and also mentally wished the Kingdom of Heaven to the deceased and prayed for his soul. If you have a desire to watch the funeral procession, you need to go outside your apartment door or gate and watch from the street. Many people have such a desire, and there is nothing wrong with sympathizing with even a stranger.

Bad omens at funerals - on the street and in the cemetery

Under no circumstances should you cross the path of a funeral procession. As a rule, those who do not follow this rule will face a serious illness. It’s difficult to allow something like this to happen.

Some believe that if you cross the path of a funeral procession, you can die for the same reasons that the one who was buried died.

If the grave is dug too large, this could threaten the death of another family member. A similar meaning is attached to a coffin lid forgotten in the house. This should not be allowed.

Relatives cannot carry the coffin. This should be done by friends, colleagues, neighbors or people from the funeral agency - anyone except relatives. Otherwise, the deceased can take them with him. People who carry the coffin must tie a new towel on their arm.

Have you ever wondered why everyone who comes to a funeral throws a handful of earth on the coffin? To prevent the ghost from coming at night.

You can only close the coffin lid in a cemetery. If you do this at home, death will come to the family of the deceased and to those who nail the coffin.

When they take out the coffin, you cannot look into the windows - it doesn’t matter whether it’s yours or someone else’s, otherwise you will attract death into this house. To ensure that none of the relatives of the deceased die soon, they do not look back.

You cannot walk in front of the coffin - this will lead to death.

If, when digging a grave, they come across what is left of the old one - bones, for example, this foretells the deceased a good life in the next world and means that his spirit will not disturb the living.

Before the coffin is lowered into the ground, coins are thrown in to buy a place in the next world.

Signs and superstitions at funerals - after burial

During a wake, as a rule, they place a photo of the deceased, and next to him - a glass of vodka (sometimes with water) and a piece of bread. Anyone who drinks this vodka or eats the bread of the dead will get sick and die. You can't even give it to animals.

After you return from the funeral, be sure to warm your hands with live fire or wash them in hot water. This way you will protect yourself from an early death. Many people instead touch the stove or light candles to burn away whatever they might have picked up at the funeral.

You cannot cry too much for the deceased, otherwise he will drown in your tears in the next world.

Every person has favorite places. Leave water there, because the soul remains among the living for some time, and from time to time it needs water. Let it sit for forty days, top up from time to time. The relatives of the deceased should not drink the same amount, and the lamp should also be lit.

You should leave the cemetery without looking back. On the way out they wipe their feet.

The image that stood in front of the deceased must be floated on water. They go to the river and put it on the water so that it floats. You can’t store it, you can’t throw it away either, water is the only way to get rid of the icon without it causing trouble. In all other cases, take the icons to the church, they will decide what to do with them.

If extra burial supplies were purchased, they are placed in a coffin or left in the cemetery. You can take it away later if you missed this moment. You don’t have to count the number of wreaths and ribbons for them, but they will remain in the cemetery in any case.
