Last week before Easter - one of the most disturbing stage in the life of Christians. Because, firstly, the day should be filled with special meaning, because the holy week - this church services every day, and especially strict fasting, and reading Christian literature. And secondly, we must not rush to complete the final preparations for the Easter holidays, without violating the prohibitions.
How is it done correctly? Our ancestors have long created a "minimum program", which may be useful to you. So Easter week by day!
MONDAY
What to do: take the time to read the Gospel of Matthew and Mark by half; complete repairs in the house, if necessary. That is, to embellish, to whiten; you can begin to plant a vegetable garden; cleaning can also be addressed.
What not to do: long sleep; lazy.
TUESDAY
What to do: take the time to read the second half of the Gospel of Mark, and two-thirds of Luke; completed cases related to darn, washing and ironing.
What not to do: to quarrel and to sort things out; have fun.
WEDNESDAY
What to do: continue to read the Gospel of Luke, and John to the half of the XII chapter; Final cleaning in the house; hang curtains, home decoration; prepared foods to baking cakes.
What not to do: partying. Holy Week even birthdays do not usually celebrate; to plant a vegetable garden.
THURSDAY
What to do:read the Gospel, and be sure to go to the service (if obtained) for the evening will be especially nice, because people are at the service with lighted candles; before sunrise to wash, to banish all ailments; in this day traditionally engaged hostess baking Easter cakes; can also, together with the children to paint Eggs; decorating Easter basket.
What not to do: clean the house.
FRIDAY
What to do: go to church to bow Shroud; particularly strict fasting. Believers do not normally eat that day as long as the do not go to church and worship the Shroud.
What not to do: oven Easter cakes; sing, dance, have fun.
SATURDAY
What to do:go to church for the service, including those you can go to all-night vigil, which usually starts at 23:00 and lasts until 3-4 am; prepare a feast on Easter table; oven cakes (if you have not done so yet to Thursday) and color eggs; Easter basket filled with goodies, which you incur in the temple.
What not to do: relax, because Easter is necessary to complete all the chores so that even the hostess that day nothing was cooking at the stove. And in general at Easter decided to eat cold food, to rest and fun holiday can meet all!
