Tatyana's day January 25 congratulations what does it mean. Tatyana's Day

Tatiana's Day (January 25) is a memorable date in the Orthodox and folk menologion. The name of the day is associated with the name of the martyr Tatiana of Rome.

Tatyana's Day: the history of the holiday

In 1755, Empress Elizaveta Petrovna signed a decree on the establishment of Moscow University. Initially, "Tatiana's Day" was celebrated as the birthday of the university, and later it became a student holiday. It was always celebrated with gaiety and pomp.

Back in the 19th century, Tatyana's Day became a noisy and cheerful holiday for the student brethren. Students venerated the memory of St. Tatiana with a prayer service and solemn performances of choirs in churches. The university church was consecrated in honor of the martyr Tatiana.

Tatyana's day with its sleigh rides, pranks of professors, fraternal revels has become an integral part of student traditions, an object of student folklore. The owner of the Hermitage restaurant, Olivier Lucien (the creator of the recipe for the famous salad), on this day gave his institution to students to celebrate.

After the October Revolution, the student holiday was rarely remembered. In 1995, the Church of St. Tatiana was opened at Moscow University. And again there was a cheerful student holiday- Tatyana's Day.

Tatyana's Day: Student Traditions

On December 25, it is customary to light candles and pray to Saint Tatiana for success in studies. There are many student traditions associated with this day.

One of the most famous student day traditions is the invocation of Shara. On the evening of January 25, students open the windows or go out onto the balcony, shake the record book in the air with the words: “ Shara come". It is considered a good sign to hear the phrase: " I'm on the road».

On the last page of the notebook for this Day, students draw a house with a chimney that emits smoke. The higher the smoke rises, the easier it will be to learn.

If students were given an exam on January 26, they always took it after a big drinking bout and did not learn anything the day before, because it was considered a bad omen.

In order for students to be lucky in their studies all year, they need to visit the church and defend a prayer service in honor of St. Tatiana, and only after that start the fun. All students on Tatiana must be drunk. If you don’t get drunk, then studies will be bad.

Tatyana's day: customs and rituals

It was customary for the people on January 25 to bake loaves in the shape of the sun. They were baked by their senior mistresses in the family. The bread was taken out of the oven, allowed to cool a little and broken into pieces, which were distributed to the household. Each member of the family had to eat at least a small piece so that the sun would give him some of his warmth.

They baked a ritual loaf in order to lure spring, inviting the sun to return to people and drive away the Epiphany frosts. Some signs are associated with its preparation:

If the bread in the middle has risen with a mound, then the year will be successful.
A smooth loaf without a single flaw - to a calm and measured life without any shocks.
Nothing wrong with burnt baked goods. She was treated to a birthday girl or birthday boy. They believed that this would help a person take everything from life.
An alarming sign was if the loaf cracked.

On Tatyana's day, the girls went to the river to beat the dirt out of the rugs. They did it early in the morning, and the guys helped them carry rugs to the river and back to the village. Rugs were hung on the fences and, looking at them, one could tell what kind of hostess this or that girl would turn out to be.

To make your cherished wish come true, you need to climb to the highest place in the district and, looking at the sun, make it. It was believed that if you do it sincerely, then the dream will surely come true.

Weather on Tatyana's day: signs

The frost on that day was used to judge the weather in spring and summer:

The sun will appear early - to early warming and the arrival of birds.
Snow on Tatyana promises a rainy and damp summer.
What the weather is like today, it will be like this in December.
Wind from the south - to a dry and low-yielding summer.
Frosty and clear weather good harvest; warmth and snowfall - to crop failure.
Large snowdrifts on this day prophesy a lot of bread.
Starry sky - by early spring.

A girl born on January 25 will be a good housewife. Black agate is suitable as a talisman for a person who was born on this day.

The history of Tatyana's Day

The Russians associate the date of the celebration with the day the Moscow University was founded.

It was established by the Decree of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna on January 25, 1755. She supported the initiative of Ivan Shuvalov (count) and Mikhail Lomonosov by actions. The decree of the empress also served as an excellent gift on the name day of Ivan Shuvalov's mother. Also on the day of the entire student body, the memory of the holy martyr Tatyana, who is rightfully considered the patroness of students and teachers, is sung.

In 1791, the church of Moscow University (a house church was created in one of its buildings) was consecrated by Orthodox ministers of the church in honor of St. Tatyana. Already in 1918 it was closed. Then it housed a club, the student theater of the Moscow state university, and since 1995 its premises have been transferred to the Orthodox Church.
In Russia, Student's Day has always been celebrated noisy and loud. Folk festivities took place throughout the country, and no one shunned the holiday on this day.

Considering that in 2007 Tatyana's Day (Student's Day) added to the list of 7 memorable dates of the Russian Federation, and in 2005 Vladimir Putin awarded him the honorary title of a national one, Russian Student Day is rightfully one of the most revered and beloved in the country.

Do not also forget that Tatyana's day is not only a secular, but also a church holiday. Priests across the country are commemorating the martyr Tatyana.

The tradition of celebrating Tatyana's day

In the 60s and 70s of the 19th century, this holiday was celebrated on a huge scale, noise and had its own traditions.

At first, Tatyana's Day and the then unofficial Students' Day were celebrated only in Moscow, but over time it spread throughout the country, where universities were located.

In the pre-revolutionary period, all the festivities took place on the street. Students and teachers celebrated the holiday outdoors. The scenario of the celebration was as follows: lunch, prayer services to the holy martyr Tatyana, solemn events within the walls of the university, festive entertainment that could last until the morning. On this day, the police did not arrest students who drank too much, but, on the contrary, helped them in every possible way.

Tatyana's Day is a widely known and beloved holiday by many. This is not surprising, because it is both ecclesiastical and secular. Over the long period of its existence, many interesting traditions, some of which are still observed today.

Day of veneration of the Holy Great Martyr Tatyana. This happened because it was on this date that the decree on the opening of Moscow University was signed. Since then, Saint Tatiana has been considered the patroness of knowledge and all students.

history of the holiday

First of all, Tatyana's Day is a Christian holiday dedicated to the veneration of Tatiana of Rome. The thorny life path of the saint is an example of perseverance and sincere faith.

Saint Tatiana was born into a wealthy family, but from childhood she was indifferent to material wealth and aspired to the spiritual side of life. Even in her youth, she decided to devote herself to the service of God. The virgin took a vow of chastity and led a secluded and righteous life, for which she was awarded the title of deaconess.

However, Rome at that time was torn apart by religious contradictions: belief in idols coexisted with Christianity. During the persecution of Christians, Tatyana was captured by the pagans. The Gentiles tried to force her to pay homage to their gods, but the saint was strong in her faith. The power of her prayer destroyed the pagan temple to the ground.

Tatyana endured many severe tortures, but they did not break her will: thanks to help from above, mortal wounds healed. After much torment, Tatyana was beheaded. For her great feat, she was canonized as a saint, and the day of her memory is celebrated annually on January 25th.

And on January 25, 1755, Empress Elizabeth signed a decree on the opening of a university in Moscow. From that day on, the veneration of the Holy Great Martyr Tatiana by the church coincided with the celebration of the opening of the university. After some time, Tatyana's day was also called Student's Day, and the saint was revered as an assistant and protector of students.

Tatyana's day has always been widely celebrated by students. On January 25, festive events, concerts and friendly gatherings were organized. Many traditions and signs associated with the holiday are still observed. In 2005, the holiday was made official, and now it is called the Day of Russian Students.

On January 25, it is worth praying for enlightenment and help in teaching. This is important not only for students, but also for every person - after all, folk wisdom has long noticed that it is necessary to study all your life. We wish you good luck and prosperity, and do not forget to press the buttons and

On January 25, there are 2 holidays in our country at once - women named Tatyana celebrate their name days, and all of Russia celebrates Student's Day.

The history of Tatyana's Day

The Holy Martyr Tatiana was born into a noble Roman family - her father was elected consul three times. But he was a secret Christian and raised a daughter devoted to God and the Church. Having reached adulthood, Tatyana did not marry and served God in one of the temples, caring for the sick in fasting and prayer and helping those in need.

In 226, the girl was captured during the next persecution of Christians. When they brought her to the temple of Apollo to force her to sacrifice to the idol, the saint prayed, and suddenly an earthquake occurred, the idol was blown to pieces, and part of the temple collapsed and crushed the priests and many pagans. The demon who lived in the idol fled with a cry from that place, while everyone saw a shadow sweeping through the air. Then they began to beat the holy virgin, gouged out her eyes, but she endured everything courageously, praying for her tormentors that the Lord would open their spiritual eyes to them.

And the Lord heeded the prayer of His servant. It was revealed to the executioners that four angels surrounded the saint and deflected blows from her, and they heard a Voice from heaven addressed to the holy martyr. All of them, eight people, believed in Christ and fell at the feet of Saint Tatiana, asking them to forgive their sin against her. For confessing themselves as Christians, they were tortured and executed, having received Baptism in blood. The next day, Saint Tatiana was again given over to torment: she was stripped naked, beaten, her body was cut with razors, and then instead of blood, milk flowed from the wounds and a fragrance spread in the air. The tormentors were exhausted and declared that someone invisible was beating them with iron sticks, nine of them died immediately.

They threw the saint into prison, where she prayed all night and sang praises to the Lord with the angels. A new morning came, and Saint Tatiana was again brought to trial. The amazed tormentors saw that after so many terrible torments she appeared completely healthy and even more radiant and beautiful than before. She was persuaded to make a sacrifice to the goddess Diana. The saint pretended to agree, and she was led to the temple.

Saint Tatiana crossed herself and began to pray, and suddenly there was a deafening clap of thunder, and lightning incinerated the idol, the victims, and the priests. The martyr was again severely tortured, and again thrown into prison for the night, and again the Angels of God appeared to her and healed her wounds.

Then the girl was taken to the circus arena, a terrible lion was released on her, but the beast only caressed the saint and licked her feet. And when they tried to take him back to the cage, he suddenly rushed at one of the tormentors and tore him to pieces. Tatiana was thrown into the fire, but the fire did not harm the martyr. The pagans, thinking that she was a sorceress, cut off her hair to deprive her of magical powers, and locked her in the temple of Zeus. But the power of God cannot be taken away. On the third day the priests came, surrounded by a crowd, preparing to offer sacrifices. Having opened the temple, they saw an idol thrown into the dust and the holy martyr Tatiana, joyfully calling on the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. All torture was exhausted. In the end, the judge ordered that Tatyana and her father be beheaded, and she was listed by Christians in the calendar as having died for her faith. As history testifies, Tatyana's day was special among the Moscow patronal holidays.

Tatyana's Day and Student's Day

In 1755, the day of the Holy Great Martyr Tatyana (Tatiana's Day) received a new meaning in the history of Russian science - Empress Elizaveta Petrovna signed the "Decree on the establishment in Moscow of a university of two gymnasiums." Then followed the Decree of Nicholas I, where he ordered to celebrate not the opening day of the university, but the signing of the act of its establishment. So there was a student holiday - Tatiana's Day and Student's Day.

Moscow students honored the memory of the martyr Tatiana with solemn prayer services and performances by their choirs in churches. And the university church was consecrated in honor of Tatyana. Many generations of students and university professors have prayed in this temple for many years. The Soviet authorities closed the temple. In 1994, on January 25, according to the new style, His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia served for the first time in the Tatian Church a prayer service. On the same day, the First All-Church Congress of Orthodox Youth began its work at the university.

Tatyana's Day has become a favorite holiday for students also because in the Russian system of higher education it traditionally coincides with the end of the autumn semester and the beginning of the winter holidays ... Do not forget this historical fact: On January 12, according to the old style, the Name Day of Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Tatyana Nikolaevna Romanova, daughter of Tsar Nicholas II, who was shot by the Bolsheviks in Yekaterinburg in 1918, was celebrated. Tatyana's day with its fraternal feasts, pranks of honorable professors, sleigh rides has become an indispensable object of student folklore, an attribute of student traditions.

How should Tatyana's day be celebrated?

Tatyana's Day is one of the favorite youth holidays, full of reckless fun and valiant prowess. In no case should you celebrate it at home - an inexpensive student cafe or a dorm room is perfect for a party.

The feast menu should not be complicated, dishes that can be quickly prepared without culinary experience and large financial expenses are best suited. In the old days, black bread, herring, sauerkraut and boiled meat were traditionally present on the student table, and from drinks - fruit drink and kvass.

The first half of the day is reserved for the official part - congratulations to students and professors, solemn speeches and, of course, a prayer service to the Great Martyr Tatiana - the patroness of students. Well, then comes the turn of fun, which continues until late.

On this day, every student considers it his duty to celebrate with all his might, with all his heart, and the police do not detain even students who are too wild.

Traditions on Tatyana's Day. Celebration of Tatyana's Day

In Russia, back in the middle of the last century, Tatiana's Day (Student's Day) became a cheerful and noisy holiday for the student brethren. On this day, crowds of students walked around Moscow until late at night with songs, rode, embracing, three or four of them, in one cab and bawled songs. The owner of the Hermitage, the Frenchman Olivier, gave his restaurant to the students that day for a party ... They sang, talked, shouted ... The professors were raised to the tables ... The speakers changed one after another.

This is how Tatyana's Day was celebrated by students of pre-revolutionary Russia. After the October Revolution, this holiday was rarely remembered. But in 1995, the church of St. Tatiana at Moscow University was reopened. And in the assembly hall of the old building on that day, prizes were awarded, established in part of the founders of the first Russian university - Count I.I. Shuvalov and scientist M.V. Lomonosov. And again in Russia there was a cheerful student holiday - Tatiana's Day.

History of Students' Day

Historically, it so happened that just on that same Tatyana's day, back in 1755 on January 12, Empress Elizaveta Petrovna signed a decree "On the establishment of Moscow University" and January 12 (25) became the official university day (in those days it was called "foundation day Moscow University). Since then, Saint Tatiana has been considered the patroness of all students. It should be noted that in translation from the Greek ancient name"Tatiana" means "organizer".

In the 60-70s. XIX century Tatyana's day turns into an unofficial student holiday. From that day, besides, the student holidays began, and it was this event that the student brethren always celebrated cheerfully. The celebration of the "professional" day of students had traditions and ritual - solemn acts were arranged with the distribution of awards and speeches.

Students' Day celebration

At first, students' day was celebrated only in Moscow, and it was celebrated very magnificently. According to eyewitnesses, the annual celebration of Tatyana's Day was a real event for Moscow. It consisted of two parts: a short official ceremony in the university building and a noisy festivities, in which almost the entire capital took part.

In the 18th - the first half of the 19th century, solemn acts to mark the end of school year, they were attended by the public, awards were handed out, speeches were made. At the same time, January 12 was the official university day, celebrated with a prayer service in the university church. But it was not called Tatyana's Day, but "the day of the founding of Moscow University."

Then followed the Decree of Nicholas I, where he ordered to celebrate not the opening day of the university, but the signing of the act of its establishment. So, by the will of the monarch, a student holiday appeared - Tatiana's Day and Student's Day.

Despite the fact that the history of the holiday has its roots in the distant past, the traditions of celebrating it have survived to this day. The student brethren, as they organized wide festivities more than a hundred years ago, and at present, on January 25, Student Day is vigorously and cheerfully celebrated by all students throughout Russia. It should be noted that on this day, even extremely sober students were not touched by the quarterly students. And if they approached, they trumped and inquired: “Does Mr. Student need help?”

However, students will never miss their chance to take a break from a long and tedious educational process - and, according to popular wisdom, only the session period distracts them from the endless celebration.

Signs, rituals and conspiracies for students on Tatyana's day

Tatyana's day is both a holiday and a special date for students. For them, this is not only an excuse to digress from the sciences and plunge into fun, but also an opportunity to attract good grades to the record book with the help of special rituals and conspiracies.

The most important student tradition on Tatiana's Day is, of course, the call of Shara

This is done as follows: on the night of January 25, students go out onto the balcony or look out the window, shake their record book, calling “Shara, come!”. And in response you need to hear (and not necessarily from a student!) “Already on the way!”. This ritual allows you to get good marks "on the ball", i.e. without much effort.

Also on January 25, students draw a house with a chimney on the last page of their grade book. Moreover, the house should be small, small, and the smoke from the chimney - long, long. To make it more authentic, it is drawn in the form of a swirling labyrinth with one line. And so that the line in no case crosses and does not touch itself.

If you manage to draw such a "smoke" without an error (crossing and touching the line) - this is a good omen. And the longer this “smoke” turns out, the easier and more successful your studies will be this year.

Finally, on Tatiana's Day, in no case should you study and even look at the notes! On January 25, you need to forget about classes altogether! Only rest and fun! So that studying was not a burden, but a joy.

Love plot on Tatyana's day

Take a pile of finely chopped, long shreds, fold them lengthwise and tie them in the middle with red woolen thread. Then bend the rags and make a panicle bunch out of them, tying a small handle on top with a red thread. The same panicle can be made from the feathers of poultry - duck or turkey. Then dip the whisk in holy water poured into a shallow dish and sprinkle the water on the sides of the room.

Read the prayer to Saint Tatiana:

“Oh, holy martyr Tatyana, accept us, praying and falling to your icon. Pray for us (say your name and the name of your beloved), may we get rid of all sorrows, bodily and spiritual torments, may we live life together in piety, may we love and respect each other. Let us live in the present life and in the next century, make us worthy of all the saints to worship in the Trinity the glorious God - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now, ever and forever. Amen!".

After saying the prayer, throw a scarf over your head, go outside and go to the house of your beloved. Ask for a visit and discreetly hide your amulet somewhere in a secret place. If no one finds a panicle within a month, the guy will certainly marry you, and living together will be long and happy.

If you did not manage to get into the house of someone you like, then invite him to visit you. Cover the table with a white tablecloth, bake a round cake or buy a cake, make tea with dried mint leaves and viburnum berries.

When your guest approaches the house, read the love words:

“In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The mother door is wooden, your nails are tin, you open and close - you let any people through. Let the good fellow pass for me, let him enter my house through you, take my hand, never leave me. Key, lock, tongue. Amen!".

When your betrothed enters the door, immediately take his left hand and hold your palm a little, looking into his eyes. Mentally say to yourself "Now you are mine" and lead him to drink tea. At the table, start only cheerful conversations, try to please him by pouring tea into a cup, offer him honey or jam and say: “Now it will be sweet for you.”

Love magic performed on Tatyana's day can work in two weeks or a month. If you didn't succeed, then the heart young man busy, and you'd better find yourself another suitor.

Love spell of the groom on Tatyana's day

Also on Tatyana's Day, girls lure suitors. Such a trick. Early in the morning on January 25, the girl needs to thoroughly knock out the rug, and then spread it at the entrance to the house. Next, it is necessary in one way or another to lure the one whom she wants to be her suitor - if you manage to get the guy to wipe his feet on the rug prepared for him, then he will be constantly pulled into the girl's house.
There is another way to love the groom - with the help of a panicle, which the girl makes from rags and feathers. On the same day, such a panicle should be hidden unnoticed by everyone in the house of “your” groom. If this succeeds, the guy will not go anywhere.

By the way, the mothers of the guys on this day made sure that their sons were not bewitched in such ways by the one they did not want to see as a daughter-in-law. Therefore, they tried to keep their sons at home that day, and the girls who tried to visit in one way or another were treated with caution.

To strengthen your love

Those who are already married or have a soul mate can strengthen their love with a special candlelight dinner, because fire is a source of energy. It is necessary that there are as many dishes on the table as the number of years the couple has been married, but if only one year has passed, then no more than five are allowed. You only need to have dinner together, buy a candle in the church and wrap it with a red ribbon or put it in a red container. Exactly at midnight on January 25, light it up and say these words: “Tatyana is the organizer, love is the guardian. Make it so that they are attracted to each other like a magnet. Words are law. And whoever is against - get out! After pronouncing them, you need to drink from one glass and kiss.

So that there is always peace in the family

Very often, conflicts arise in families on domestic grounds. To maintain a wonderful relationship, you can conduct a special ceremony on Tatyana's day. This must be done by the owner of the house. The day before, she needs to buy a white towel and rub all the dishes with it before dinner on January 25th. When all family members sit down at the table, the woman says these words to herself: “With whom I now sit down, with that I remain in the world. I will love them all and we will live in goodness. After dinner, give all leftover food to birds and animals. Hide the towel in a secluded place and use it only on special occasions and only give it to relatives.

To be healthy

On January 25, you can ask St. Tatiana for health. To do this, you need to wash yourself at dawn in three waters - pure, flowing and with the addition of holy water. Put on white underwear, bought the day before and washed three times. Then go to church, give the needy a paper bill and put a candle for health in front of the icon of the Mother of God. Take off your underwear at home and cross it three times, saying the following words: “I take off white underwear, I accept a blessing from Tatyana. Save me from illnesses and leprosy, give me health a hundredfold.” Hide and wear this linen if the disease suddenly begins to rise. Then be sure to wash it.

Folk omens on Tatyana's day

Since ancient times, weather patterns have been monitored on Tatyanin.

If it snows on the day of Epiphany Tatiana (Tatiana's Day, Babiy Kut) - then a frosty February and summer with rains are expected.
Sunrise on Tatyana's day personified early spring, imminent arrival of birds and early spawning of fish.
If it is frosty and sunny on this day, then the harvest will be rich!

Many signs for Tatyana's Day were associated with the preparation of the ritual loaf, which was mentioned above:

If the bread rose as a mound in the middle, then wait for good luck this year and life will get better, it will go uphill.
If the loaf turned out smooth and flawless - a sure sign of a calm year and measured life.
If the loaf burned, they rejoiced, and the birthday girl had to eat the burnt crust.
If the loaf cracked, it was considered a bad omen.
