Easter is one of the most important church holidays. An indispensable attribute of this celebration is an icon depicting Christ; the resurrection is considered a symbol of eternal life. Easter cake is called “life”, and colored eggs are the sacrament of the birth of life itself. Easter is a symbol of different traditions and beliefs, even for people who are very far from faith.
Why you need to wear new things for Easter
Even in ancient times, people firmly believed that all days on Easter were prophetic. And on this holiday, every detail was carried out to the finest detail. And all the events that took place on Easter were considered filled with a special magical meaning.
One of the most well-known signs is that it is imperative to wear new things for Easter celebrations, in which case you can spend the entire next year in profit and prosperity.
And also, when putting on a new suit or sundress, you could make absolutely any wish that would certainly come true.
The opinion of the priests
Church ministers emphasize that the most important thing is internal, not external beauty. Therefore, they recommend that girls who are thinking about what to wear to church for the Easter holiday should refuse any vulgar and very catchy things.
What to wear to a church service:
- A girl should definitely look modest and neat on Easter. It is imperative to avoid sexy and provocative miniskirts or short dresses.
- All things should not look very colorful or bright. It is best to choose clothes in calm and soft shades.
- Massive chains, signets, and rings are not allowed in the church as jewelry. If you can’t go without jewelry, then it’s best to choose thin bracelets, necklaces, and stud earrings.
- Within reasonable limits, it is not prohibited to use cosmetics, but it is best not to use lipstick, so that no traces appear while kissing holy icons and the cross.
- The most important thing is not to forget one important rule: shoulders and knees must be covered as a sign of respect for the Almighty, clergy and other parishioners.
- Church workers say that the ideal outfit for the Easter celebration consists of comfortable shoes, a scarf that covers the head and a long dress or skirt.
Attention! People go to church not to show off new clothes, but to repent and pray. Any person must realize this. Naturally, for those people who came to church for the first time, ignorance of some rules can be forgiven. Over time, both the meaning and the necessity of the holy instructions will become clear, which do not at all prohibit parishioners from looking beautiful, but for this, you do not always need to chase fashion.
What happens if you wear old clothes for Easter?
In ancient times, there were several obligatory days a year when each person was required to wear new or at least washed clothes. These days included New Year, Christmas, Trinity, and always Easter. Sloppy people who did not want to observe such a tradition would face a terrible punishment - crows would start crap on all their things all the time.
A clean or new handkerchief should be folded carefully before putting it in your pocket. Putting a crumpled handkerchief is bad luck.
Putting new clothes on the table on Easter is bad luck.
Also on this day it was forbidden to sew clothes. This action can entail various punishments, from constant lack of money to a drunkard husband.
You can choose any clothes for yourself according to your own taste, but the most important thing is not to forget where you are going. And try to look not very catchy and neat.
“And try to look neat and not too flashy.” You need to be able to correctly express your thoughts, especially if you speak or write in your native language.
All this, what to wear and where to put it is pure superstition! The main thing is with what spiritual baggage you come to Easter. It’s wonderful who is able to receive communion at the night liturgy. And clothes are the tenth thing. But for whom is this so important, in our church, for example, (Moscow region), if possible, women wear something red.
