The time of the Christmas holidays is the most anticipated time in winter. The spirit of the holidays is especially acute in the village, where there are no lanterns, and only the moon illuminates the way for young people who sing carols and play their funny games from house to house. It is the village that has preserved the old rituals and festive fun. Christmas is just the beginning of a month-long holiday, and Epiphany is its culmination and finale. At Epiphany, Christians cleanse their home from all the evil spirits that have penetrated their homes for a whole year because of our weaknesses and lack of faith. If a believer desires something very much, he must relate to church rituals and sacraments with faith.
Instructions
Step 1
If you believe in Divine power and with all your heart desire to spiritually cleanse not only yourself, but also your home, be sure to confess and partake of the Sacrament before Christmas. Then join the celebration and ask God for deliverance from troubles.
Step 2
Before the holidays, arrange with the priest to come to your Epiphany and consecrate the house. This ritual is held every year on the feast of the Baptism of the Lord in houses that have already been consecrated according to the main rite (as a rule, it is performed at housewarming).
Step 3
After the priest is aware of your desire, prepare the house to receive a guest. Buy an icon lamp or a candle in the church, light it in front of the icons, and if they are not there, be sure to buy them in the church shop, because icons are a large shrine, albeit a material one, but the creation of which takes place in unceasing prayer. Therefore, icons have great grace.
Step 4
On Epiphany morning, get up at dawn and go to the Service, preferably before that, do not eat anything in order to receive holy water and prosphora undefiled. Take a clean glass, ceramic, or enamel dish to collect some Holy Water home. And don't forget about prosphora. Believers know that in the morning, on an empty stomach, every day you need to drink water and eat prosphora, then impure forces will not know the way to their house. You will have a limited supply of water, although water can be brought from pilgrimage trips, from monasteries, but, nevertheless, if you want to add some ordinary water, then pour water into a glass, cross yourself, and pour Holy water into the glass with peace and love. but not vice versa. After simple water is poured into holy water, it loses its properties and acquires a charge of simple water, and if on the contrary, ordinary water turns into holy water.
Step 5
After preparing your soul with love and faith, as mentioned earlier, receive the priest, show him your whole house, so that he sanctifies every corner. And let calmness, peace and true love settle in your home and in your heart.
