The Bright Resurrection of Christ has passed, Bright Week has come, the time of joy, believers congratulate each other on the holiday. Divine services are held in churches every day, this is an Easter Liturgy, accompanied by a procession of the cross.
How Bright Week is celebrated
For Orthodox Christians, this is a time of festivities, bells are constantly ringing. Games are started in the fresh air, young people enjoy life, delicious treats are everywhere. The Church recommends at this time to help neighbors, those in need, to do other good deeds. On Bright Week, it is customary to walk with icons and a cross to the homes of not only clergymen, but also parishioners, and read Easter prayers.
Despite the fact that this is a joyful time, priests do not recommend getting married. But you can be baptized and baptized children during Easter week. Since there is joy all around, one cannot grieve, lose heart, visit cemeteries. The dead should be commemorated on Radunitsa, on the ninth day after Easter. You can do this on Krasnaya Gorka.
It is not forbidden to work, but it is prescribed to rest more, not to work, but to have fun. All matters in which there is no urgency should be postponed for another time. On Bright Week you need to rest, rejoice, receive and give pleasant emotions, just fully enjoy life.
The Resurrection of Christ is celebrated by the worshipers all week; at this time, one should not quarrel either with neighbors or strangers. It would be nice if this week became an example of good behavior in society. At this time, it is customary to invite guests to your place and go to visit yourself, visit the suffering and provide them with help. Doing any deeds that bring joy to others means doing good to yourself.
Work, but only in moderation
You can eat and drink anything during the week, including alcohol, but without much zeal. If after a glass it is difficult to stop and control yourself, it is better not to bring this glass to your mouth. It is enough to rejoice and be merry spiritually.
Whether to work or not does not depend on the parishioner. Easter Sunday is a day off, you can and should go to church, congratulate loved ones on the holiday. If a believer has a flexible work schedule, you will have to work, but there is nothing to worry about. And one should not be sad that the work shift has dropped out, perhaps for about five minutes. Sewing, knitting, cleaning the house is not recommended, but there is no ban as such. It would just be nice to spend these days with your family, and not to arrange general cleaning during the holidays.
You can fuss around the house on any other days, but everything should be reasonable. You can give testicles, it is a symbol of eternal life. But for all the appeal to fun, you should not accumulate dirty dishes in the sink during the week. But there is no need to scold the household members, be angry with them if they suddenly did not wash it after themselves. It is better to leave her overnight than to experience negative emotions.
