Folk omens for September

Conclusion

Since ancient times, people have been following folk signs for September and knew what lay ahead for them. It is full of church and folk holidays.

There are much fewer Orthodox holidays in September than in summer or spring, but the first month of autumn is still marked by important dates. The day of the beheading of St. John the Baptist, the Church New Year, the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos, the Exaltation, the Day of Faith, Hope, Love and their mother Sophia - the history of these holidays revered by Ukrainians goes back to ancient times, in pagan times.

Styler collected the most important and significant holidays of September and found out how they are traditionally celebrated by the people.

Day of the beheading of St. John the Baptist, the greatest prophet, the Baptist of the Lord Jesus Christ

This is a special day in the life of the Church. St. John the Baptist (Forerunner) or "messenger" of Christ, who predicted his coming, marks a link between the Old and New Testaments. This man is the last of the Old Testament prophets and the first New Testament saint to tell his story.

The Gospel of Mark describes in detail the story of the terrible martyrdom of John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus Christ. King Herod, during whose time John the Baptist and Jesus Christ lived, fell in love with the wife of his brother Philip and married her. Herod was afraid of John, for he saw in him a righteous and holy man, in many cases he obeyed him. John frankly told him that he had committed a shameful act by linking his life with his brother's wife.

Herodias, Philip's ex-wife, who wanted to kill John, did not like such frank and bold words either. And finally, the opportunity presented itself. On Herod's birthday, many guests were invited, they sang and danced. The dance of the daughter of Herodias especially delighted the king, so much so that for the pleasure that she gave him, he promised her everything she asked. The girl, after consulting with her mother, asked the king for the head of John the Baptist on a platter. Herod did not refuse, and the head of John was brought, the legend says.

Service in the church, rituals and traditions on the Day of the Beheading

On this day, the All-Night Vigil is served: believers spend the day in prayer, trying to drive away irritation and anger at their neighbor from their hearts. On September 11, believers exclude noisy fun from their lives. This is a day of strict fasting, when you can not eat meat, dairy products, fish.

For centuries, superstitions associated with this day have spread among the people. Many of the signs are not related to the church. For example, they say that on this day you can not eat round-shaped food - potatoes, cabbage, apples, red tomatoes and watermelons, because they resemble the head of a martyr-saint. Priests advise not to attach any importance to this sign.

Several centuries ago, on the Day of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist, borscht was not cooked for a day. It was the only day when eating borscht was a sin. Potatoes were boiled in uniforms, pumpkins were baked, bread was broken off by hand. Ate only meatless dishes or not eat at all. Those who suffered from headaches, it was on this day that they asked for healing. In addition, medicinal roots were collected in the forest at this time. Now these traditions are much less common.

Church New Year

The church holidays of September 2016 were marked by another event - the Church New Year. This day, according to the ancient tradition of Constantinople, is also called the “beginning of the indiction”. Emperor Constantine the Great ordered to end military service after 15 years, after which to provide retirees with state benefits at the expense of an indict (in Latin - tax), which was collected on September 1, at the end of the harvest.

In Rus', each was called an indict New Year fifteen years, and the fifteen years itself.

Since 1492, the New Year was celebrated in Rus' as a church and state holiday. The meaning of the service in the New Year was the recollection of the Savior's sermon in the Nazareth synagogue, when Jesus Christ said that He had come "to heal the brokenhearted ... to preach the acceptable year of the Lord." After the adoption of Christianity civil year until the 15th century, it began in March. From March 1, all the ancient Russian chroniclers, including St. Nestor, began the year.

What did they do in Rus' on the day of the Church New Year

It has long been believed that on this day times and spaces are connected to each other - this is a particularly favorable time to fight evil in all its manifestations. On the day of the Church New Year, they took a mental look at the past year and, if something was done wrong, then mentally it was possible to correct the situation or ask for forgiveness.

Nativity of Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary

This important religious holiday, celebrated annually on September 21, belongs in Orthodoxy to the twelve most important after Easter. It was established by the church back in the distant IV century.

According to legend, Mary's parents - the righteous Joachim and Anna - were childless for many years. And only in old age, after many years of prayer, God sent them a daughter. According to legend, the couple lived together for fifty years, but they had no children. This greatly upset Joachim and Anna, and they tirelessly prayed to God to grant them a child, promising to dedicate a child to him.

Once in the temple, a man standing next to Joachim began to reproach him that God had not blessed him with children for some secret sins. Saddened, Joachim left the temple and, not returning home, went to the desert, where his flocks were grazing. There he prayed for a long time and asked God to give him children and remove his reproach before people.

Anna, seeing that her husband was not returning home, began to cry. But then she saw an angel in front of her, announcing that her prayer had been answered: “Your daughter will be born and you will name her Mary.” (In translation from Hebrew, this name means “hope.”) The angel disappeared, and Anna, having promised to dedicate her daughter to God, went to Jerusalem. Then an angel appeared to Joachim, telling him the same news. The envoy's words were fulfilled: on September 8 (according to the old style), a daughter, the Virgin Mary, was born to the elderly spouses, and the happy parents brought gifts to the Jerusalem temple.

Traditions and beliefs for the Nativity of the Virgin

September 21 was considered a holiday when the last sheaf was tied in the fields. Our ancestors believed that he had great power. From his ears they made strong amulets and amulets. On the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos, women and girls went out early in the morning to the banks of rivers, lakes and ponds to wash themselves. It was believed that if you do this, you can preserve your beauty until old age.

On this day, our ancestors renewed the fire in the huts - the old one was extinguished, and the new one was lit. To avoid damage from evil eye and diseases burned old clothes and shoes. And the children were doused on the threshold with water.

Exaltation of the Holy Cross

Church holidays in September continue in the second half of the month. On the 27th, believers remember how in the year 326 in Jerusalem a cross was miraculously found, on which Jesus Christ was crucified. The full name of the holiday is the Exaltation of the Holy and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord.

According to Holy Tradition, the cross was found in 326 in Jerusalem. It happened near Mount Calvary, where the Savior was crucified. The second event celebrated on this day is the return of the Life-Giving Cross from Persia, where he was in captivity. In the 7th century it was returned to Jerusalem by the Greek emperor Heraclius.

Both events were united by the fact that they erected the Cross before the people, that is, they raised it. At the same time, they turned him to all parts of the world in turn, so that people could bow to him and share with each other the joy of finding a shrine.

Church rituals, folk signs and traditions on the day of the Exaltation

This date for the Orthodox marks a strict fast. Do not eat meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. Food can only be seasoned vegetable oil. On the day of the Exaltation of the Cross, it is also necessary to celebrate the All-Night Vigil and the Liturgy. But now they rarely serve all night, so the festive Divine service on the eve of the holiday - the vigil - becomes central.

They say that the last mop is removed for the Exaltation. This means that just at that time the peasants tried to harvest the entire crop as soon as possible and finish the field work. This was explained by the fact that frosts were already observed in the mornings, which could destroy everything that grew in the fields and gardens.

Also, from September 27 until about mid-October, it was customary to plant apple and currant trees. It was believed that it was on September 27 that birds begin to fly to warmer climes.

The people called the holiday Kapustnik and prepared pies with cabbage. On September 27, evening gatherings were arranged, which could last for two weeks.

On the Exaltation, they tried to plan important matters, as they could end unsuccessfully. It was also forbidden to go to the forest, because, according to popular beliefs, on this day the bears made a lair for themselves and could attack a person. They also believed that now the goblin is examining his kingdom, and it’s better not to catch his eye.

In ancient times, the peasants on September 27 were engaged in harvesting cabbage for the winter and often did it together, organizing the so-called cabbage parties. The work was accompanied by jokes. It was believed that if a girl, going to a gathering, read a special conspiracy, she would meet a guy she would love.

Day of the Holy Martyrs Faith, Hope, Love and their mother Sophia

In September 2016, the church also honors the memory of the martyrs Faith, Hope, Love and their mother Sophia, and women with these names celebrate their angel day.

Faith, Hope, Love and their mother Sophia are early Christian martyrs who lived in the 2nd century AD in the Roman Empire. It is known that Sofia was originally from Milan. She was widowed early, after which she moved to Rome. Sophia raised her daughters in the Christian faith and even gave them names in honor of the main Christian virtues - Faith, Hope and Love.

In those years, the Roman state severely persecuted believers in Christ. Little girls (the eldest Vera was then only 12, and the youngest Lyubov was only 9) were arrested, tortured, and then killed in front of their mother. Sophia herself died the next day at the grave of her daughters. But tragic fate on earth turned into eternal glory for the martyrs in another world. The Church canonized them as saints, and today, through prayers, miracles happen to them.

Interestingly, in the Russian tradition, the name Sophia (which means “Wisdom” in Greek) remained without translation, but the names of her daughters Pistis (Vera), Elpis (Hope) and Agape (Love) have already taken root in our Russian translation .

By the way, contrary to traditional ideas, not all owners of these beautiful names celebrate their name day on this very day: for some, Angel Day falls on a different date.

Angel Days for Faith:

Angel Days for Hope:

Angel Day for Love:

Angel Days for Sofia:

February 28, April 1, June 4, June 17, August 14, September 30, October 1, December 29, December 31.

Customs, signs and traditions

In folk traditions, the day of September 30 is also called the "universal woman's name day" or "the woman's holiday." According to beliefs, all women should start the morning of this day with a loud cry, which serves as a kind of amulet. Indeed, according to custom, even those to whom it was a sin to complain about fate were supposed to cry. They cried, if not about their own fate, then about the fate of relatives and friends, because "an woman's fate does not happen alone."

The tradition of such crying did not appear by chance, because on September 30 they remembered not only Vera, Hope and Love, but also their mother Sophia, who suffered and cried for her daughters. In general, tears in the folk tradition are not only an expression of natural grief or sadness, but also a form of ritual behavior. So, for example, the bride always “cried” before the wedding, saying goodbye to her home.

People believe that if you mourn all your loved ones and your own share on September 30, then nothing bad will happen during the year. That is, on the one hand, crying reminded of the suffering of Sophia, who lost her daughters, but on the other hand, there was a subtle calculation in this rite.

Married women, in order to ensure a calm atmosphere in the house, on this day bought three candles in the church, of which two were placed there, in the temple, in front of the face of Christ, and the third was reserved for the house. At midnight, a candle was placed in the middle of a loaf of bread, specially put on the table for this purpose, lit and uttered as many as 40 times in a row the cherished words that all evil would disappear and peace would come to the family. In the morning, this bread was fed to the household (only them and none of the outsiders, even guests), and in no case was a crumb thrown away.

Signs of Faith, Hope, Love

On this day, the first frosts come.

If the cranes fly that day, then there will be frost on Pokrov, and if not, then winter will be late.

Who sheds tears in the morning - he protects his family.

If the thunder rumbled, the autumn will be warm and long, and the winter will be late.

September- the first month of autumn. Its popular name is "frown", since the sky at this time begins to frown, it often rains. At this time, there is a wonderful period - Indian summer, when a lot of cobwebs fly in the air and the weather is warm and sunny. “September sees off the red summer, meets the golden autumn,” they say among the people. AT this month the trees begin to slowly change their color from green to yellow. The days are getting shorter and cooler, migratory birds are gathering south. During this period, the harvest ends, preparations are being made for the winter. Through repeated observations of our ancestors over animals and natural phenomena, many folk signs of September were composed, which allow us to predict the weather, to predict what the coming autumn, winter and spring will be like.
