A person independently determines for himself whether to believe him in omens or simply to condescendingly laugh at them as superstition and obscurantism. A fairly large number of signs are related to death and funeral. You can not take them on faith, but you can take them seriously and ask the Higher powers to ward off misfortune. What signs portend the worst?
For a long time, people have been very observant and have identified some patterns according to which certain events entail certain consequences. Such knowledge began to be called omens. There are signs that relate to nature, weather, the future of a person and his family. A separate category includes gloomy omens that are in one way or another associated with death and funeral.
What signs portend the imminent death of a person?
In a seriously ill person, one can predict the imminent onset of the hour of death by a number of signs. First of all, this is a change in the smell of his body to a specific, reminiscent of the smell of damp earth. A very clear sign of impending death is the appearance of lice in a person, which appear from nowhere and then disappear in the same mysterious way. Also, one of the clearest signs that the patient will soon die is the so-called "picking" - a person begins to collect something all over his body, as if there are tiny specks on it.
There is a well-known omen associated with whether a newborn baby will live. If during the baptismal ritual the wax mixed with the baby's hair drowns in the water, the baby will not live long.
A very sure sign about the imminent death of someone living in the house is if a flower suddenly bloomed that had never bloomed before. A plot on a topic close to this was in one of the issues of a popular program about psychics; it was filmed in the house of a woman who had already buried several relatives. It is noteworthy that before each death, hibiscus bloomed in a violent color in the house.
Funeral signs
First of all, the coffin must be made according to the size of the body of the deceased. If the coffin is larger, then this will lead to the imminent death of another person. Based on the same considerations, the centimeter tape, with which the deceased was measured, should be placed in the coffin with him. If there is something that was unnecessarily bought for the funeral and was not useful - in no case keep it at home, but bury it with the deceased.
If the deceased bequeathed to cremate his body during his lifetime, then before cremation, be sure to make sure that there is no icon or cross in the coffin. In no case should they be burned together with the body - this is considered sacrilege.
If two deaths occurred in the same house within a short period of time, then there will be a third deceased. In no case should blood relatives participate in the removal of the coffin, because this can lead to a series of deaths in the family.
Finally, three grave sins are forgiven for the person who took the forty dead on the last journey.
