Christmas: the most powerful prayers to attract good luck and finances. Rare prayer for Christmas What to read for Christmas what prayers

We must know how and what we pray for at the Christmas service. Priest Fyodor Ludogovsky gives an overview of the most important church prayers of various genres. Translations into Russian, unless otherwise noted, belong toHieromonk Ambrose (Timroth) .

Old Testament about the Nativity of Christ

Texts from the Old Testament books are heard during worship every day. Most commonly used Psalter - a book containing psalms - prayer poetic works that were written by an Israeli King David and possibly by other authors.

On the eve of the Nativity of Christ, the books of the prophets who lived before the Savior came to earth acquire special significance. On vespers , which takes place on the eve of the holiday, are read proverbs (fragments of Old Testament books) containing prophecies about Christ, about His birth from the Virgin. Here are the books written, according to church tradition, by Moses, and the books of other prophets - Micah, Isaiah, Baruch and Daniel.

The first of the proverbs is the very beginning of the very first book of the Bible - Genesis . Here we have a story about God's creation of the world: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. But the earth was invisible and unorganized, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God hovered over the waters.”. Further in this fragment, quite a lot more is said about water. The theme of water arises for the reason that on the eve of the biggest holidays - Easter, Epiphany, the Nativity of Christ - in the ancient Church, during the reading of proverbs, a mass baptism was performed. That is why this proverb from the book of Genesis is read on Christmas Eve, Epiphany, and Great Saturday.

At Great Compline, the prophetic words of Isaiah about the God-Child are solemnly heard:

The Child was born to us, the Son, and given to us.

<…>And His name is called: Great Council Angel.

Wonderful Advisor.

God Strong, Ruler, Head of the world.

Father of the future.

Christmas stichera

This is a rather ancient genre of church hymns. One stichera is one paragraph, one stanza. At the Christmas service we hear stichera from different authors. One of them is a saintHerman, Patriarch of Constantinople . Here is his verse with which Christmas Vespers begins:

Come, let us rejoice in the Lord,

explaining the current Sacrament:

the wall separating us from God is broken,

flaming sword reversing

and the Cherubim depart from the tree of life

and I partake of the bliss of paradise,

from which he was expelled for disobedience.

For the unchanging image of the Father

and the mark of his eternity

assumes the form of a slave,

descended from an unmarried Mother,

without undergoing any change.

For He remained what He was - the true God,

and took upon himself what he was not,

having become a man out of philanthropy.

Let us exclaim to Him:

"God, born of the Virgin, have mercy on us!"

Another author, whose name I would like to name, is not a patriarch or even a man. The famous stichera "To Augustus, who is the sole commander of the earth ...", which is sung at the great vespers during the entrance, belongs to the pen Cassia - poet, hymnographer, composer, nun and founder of a monastery in Constantinople. Here is the full text of this stichera in Russian translation:

When Augustus became sovereign on earth,

polyarchy among people has ceased;

and with your incarnation from the pure virgin

idol polytheism was abolished.

Countries were subject to one worldly kingdom,

and the nations believed in the one dominion of the Godhead.

The peoples were rewritten by the decree of Caesar,

we, the faithful, signed up in the name of the Divine -

You, our God incarnate.

Great is Your mercy, Lord, glory to You!

As you can see, we are talking about the Roman emperor Augustus Octavian, who at one time put an end to the internecine struggle for power and expanded the boundaries of the empire. Christ was born in Judea just during the reign of Augustus. And with His birth, according to Cassia, the decline of paganism began and all nations began to worship the One God.

Christmas troparion

A troparion - or, more specifically, a dismissive troparion - is one of the most important hymns of any church holiday. The Christmas troparion reminds us of the events described in the Gospel of Matthew: the coming of the Messiah and the wise astrologers who came from the East to bow to the newborn Infant. In Church Slavonic, the troparion sounds like this:

ascension of the world, the light of reason,

serving the stars in it

I study as a star

Bow to you, the Sun of Truth,

and guide you from the height of the east.

Lord, glory to You.

And here is its Russian translation:

Your Christmas, Christ our God,

illumined the world with the light of knowledge,

for through him those who serve the stars

were taught by a star

To worship you, the Sun of Truth,

and to know Thee, from on high the Rising Star.

Lord, glory to You!

Here is also a translation made at the St. Philaret Institute:

Your Christmas, Christ our God,

illumined the world with the light of knowledge,

for then the servants of the stars

were taught by a star

to worship You, the Sun of Truth,

and to know You, Dawn from above, -

Lord, glory to You!

The troparion of the Nativity of Christ sounds repeatedly during the festive service: at Vespers, Compline, Matins, Liturgy, and also for several days following the first day of the holiday.

Christmas canons

One of the Christmas services, Matins, includes two canons. A canon is a hymnographic work formed by eight or nine songs, each of which usually contains two or three or more poetic stanzas. The first stanza in the canon is called the irmos, the others are called troparia. (The troparion of the canon should not be confused with the dismissal troparion discussed above.)

One of the canons for the feast of the Nativity of Christ was written by a hymnographer of Syrian origin named Mansur ibn Serjun at-Taghlibi. He lived in the 8th century and in his youth served at the court of the Damascus caliph. He is known to the Christian world as John of Damascus.

Another canon (in the order of singing - the first) was written by a friend and free brother of John - the saintCosmas, Bishop of Mayum .

The canon of Cosmas of Mayumsky opens with the joyful, exultant words of the irmos:

Christ is born - praise!

Christ from heaven - meet!

Christ on earth - rise!

Sing to the Lord, all the earth

and sing with joy, people,

for He is glorified!

However, these words were not written by Cosmas himself - he only paraphrased and slightly expanded what the saint had said several centuries earlier.Gregory the Theologian in one of his sermons.

Let us also cite a fragment of the canon of John of Damascus. The first troparion of the second ode of this canon refers us to the Gospel of Luke, which describes the appearance of angels to the Bethlehem shepherds, who then went to see the baby Christ:

The choir of pipers was amazed,

honored in an extraordinary way

to see what is beyond the mind:

from the Blessed Bride, all-blessed birth

and a regiment of incorporeal, who sang

without the seed of the incarnating Christ-King.

Kontakion

After the sixth ode of the second canon, in the text of the Christmas matins there is a hymn entitled kontakion, followed by ikos. These two stanzas should be discussed in more detail.

These kontakion and ikos are not part of the canon. This is all that remains in the current service from a very interesting work by another Syrian author -Roman the Melodist . Roman was born in the second half of the 5th century, that is, he lived later than Gregory the Theologian, but noticeably earlier than John and Cosmas, Herman and Cassia. He was the author of multi-stanza hymnographic works, which we called so - kontakia. What we now call this word is only the introductory stanza of the Romanov chant. And what is now called the ikos is the first of a series of many stanzas contained in the kontakion.

A one-stanza kontakion (that is, a kontakion in the modern sense of the word) is, along with a dismissive troparion, one of the main chants of any holiday. Here is the Church Slavonic text of the kontakion and its Russian translation.

The Virgin today gives birth to the Substantial,

and the earth brings a den to the Unapproachable.

Angels with shepherds glorify

the wolves travel with the star:

for us to be born

Otrocha Young, Eternal God.

Translation:

The Virgin on this day gives birth to the Superessential,

and the earth brings a cave to the Unapproachable;

Angels with shepherds praise

the wise men travel after the star,

because it was born for us

Young child, eternal God!

And now, for comparison, let's give the introductory stanza (that is, the current kontakion) and the first two stanzas of the main part of the kontakion for the Nativity of Christ in the Russian translation of Hieromonk Jacob (Tsvetkov), in editions Priest Mikhail Zheltov:

WITHtoday the Virgin gives birth to the Supreme Being, and the earth brings a den to the Unapproachable; angels, together with the shepherds, glorify, while the wise men travel with the star: for the sake of us was born the Young Infant, the Eternal God!

IN Ifeem opened [us] Eden - come, we'll see; we found pleasure in a hidden [place] - come, we will receive heavenly [joy] inside the cave: there appeared a Root not drunk with [moisture], growing forgiveness; there appeared an unearthed well, from which David had longed to drink; there the Virgin, who gave birth to the Child, immediately quenched the thirst of Adam and David. Therefore, let us come to this [place] where the Young Child, the Eternal God, was born!

ABOUTThe father of the Mother, by His will, became [Her] Son, the Savior of the children reclined as a child in the manger. Recognizing Him, the Mother of God says: “Tell me, Child, how did You dwell in Me and how were You formed in Me? I see you, [My] womb, and I am horrified - for I feed on milk, and remain unmarried. And although I see You, [Child], in swaddling clothes, [at the same time] I contemplate Your virginity sealed - for You have preserved it, deigning to be born [of Me, O], Young Infant, Eternal God!”

In total, the main part of the Romanov Kontakion contains 24 stanzas (icosas). At the same time, the initial letters of the stanzas form an acrostic - a phrase that, in Greek, means "Hymn of the humble Roman."

One more thing should be noted. All stanzas of the kontakion end with the same expression - "Young Infant, Eternal God" (in Church Slavonic - "Young Child, Eternal God"). This is a feature of all ancient multi-stanza kontakia. And not only kontakia, but also akathists - a genre to which we are now moving on.

Christmas akathists

The kondaki of Roman the Melodist are written vividly and brightly - but, unfortunately, they have gone out of church use. The canons of Cosmas of Mayum and John of Damascus are rich in content; they refer us to the images and plots of the Old and New Testaments; but it must be admitted that all this is very difficult for the perception of an insufficiently prepared reader and, moreover, a listener.

Perhaps it is for this reason that akathists are becoming more widespread with each century and decade.

Akathist is also a multi-stanza work, like the ancient kontakion and canon. But the akathist is usually simpler in language, it has a clearer and more understandable structure. The first akathist - it was an akathist to the Mother of God - appeared no later than the first quarter of the 7th century. We do not know the name of its author. Later, other akathists began to appear - dozens, hundreds, now thousands. Initially, akathists (except for the very first one) were not intended for singing in the temple. Nevertheless, the akathist is increasingly becoming a part of church worship.

There are several akathists for the feast of the Nativity of Christ. Three of them, the most famous at present, were written by Russian bishops of the 20th century: Bishop Tikhon (Tikhomirov), Archbishop Nikon (Petin) and Metropolitan Nikodim (Rusnak). Let us give at least three stanzas (out of 25) of each akathist. They are, by and large, written in Church Slavonic, but this language is understandable enough. As for the Russian translation of akathists, such experiments are unknown to us.

From the akathist of Bishop Tikhon:

INChosen and before the age of the Father, Born, Savior of the world and King of the ages, as a Child born to us, Son, and given to us. This now, by will, we accept flesh from the Virgin and, like a reasonable Sun of Truth, to those who exist in darkness and the shadow of death, sitting Divinely ascended. Come, let us rejoice, seeing God in the flesh, in Bethlehem we are wrapped in shrouds for the sake of it, and with the sorcerers and shepherds bowing down to this, we will loudly cry out: Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill towards men.

Aangels of old at the gates of Eden, the tree of life of the fallen Adam is streaking, now from the weight of Bethlehem the joy of the great earthly people is announced, even if it will be for all people: as if the Savior was born, Who is Christ the Lord, in the manger of wordless flesh as a child. Come, faithful ones, let us glorify the Mother of the Savior, after the Nativity of the Virgin who appeared again, and with the Angels and shepherds a worthy song in the den from Her, let us sing to the Born:

Glory to Thee, the Pre-Beginning Word, this God, the man who appears;

glory to Thee, God the Great and Eternal, His Divinity did not depart, from the side of the Maiden incarnate.

Glory to Thee, the Son of God - the Son of the Virgin, who received the ghost of a slave;

glory to Thee, the Word of God, Unsearchable, who has come into the vale of our exile.

Glory to Thee, the Eternal Word, with a strange exhaustion from the Virgin, shining to the world;

glory to Thee, God's Wisdom and Strength, for our sake impoverished for us.

Glory to Thee, Bride of the Most Pure, rich Christmas, His glory is full of the essence of Heaven;

Glory to Thee, the shining Sun of Truth, Through which the whole earth is filled with joy.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill towards men.

INthe Creator and Builder of all kinds perishes man, his hand was created, merciful about him, bowing heaven, down to earth, reigning on the heights of Heaven, making earth, - His Father first of all gives birth, but the fallen will renew human nature. His sight is Samago and Man and God, exultant with all heavenly and earthly, praising the divine condescension of God, crying out to Him: Alleluia.

From the akathist of Metropolitan Nikodim:

ANDthe most pure angel virgin from all generations; and from Her, born of the flesh, Christ our God, with thanksgiving we offer Thee to Thy servants, Master. But you, as if you have inexpressible mercy, free us from all troubles, calling:

Jesus, Son of God, incarnated for us, glory to Thee.

Amany gathered in Bethlehem to see the incomprehensible Christmas; and seeing your Creator, lying in a manger like a baby, wondering! And reverently with fear, I was born and I gave birth to a godly reverence, singing like this:

Glory to Thee, Son of God, born before the age of the Father.

Glory to Thee, with the Father and the Spirit all created.

Glory to Thee, come to save the lost.

Glory to Thee, even descended to the level of a slave.

Glory to Thee, seeker of the lost.

Glory to Thee, Savior of the lost.

Glory to Thee, destroying the mediastinum of enmity.

Glory to Thee, paradise, closed by disobedience, I will open again.

Glory to Thee, the human race unspeakably loved.

Glory to Thee, on earth the den of heaven revealed.

Glory to Thee, who gave birth to The Virgin, Who showed the Throne of the Cherubim.

Jesus, Son of God, incarnate for us, glory to Thee.

INgoing without flesh, the Angels of their Lord, having taken flesh from the pure Virgin, horrified! And deciding to each other: this glorious Sacrament is incomprehensible to us to be: both marveling at the ineffable That descent, with fear I sing: Alleluia.

From the akathist of Archbishop Nikon:

Rwait on the Virgin, receiving heavenly singing, accept from the spiritual treasures the hymn that I offer up to You: Jesus, God-child, save us!

ABOUTHaving received the gospel of angels, having entered spiritually into the city of Bethlehem, and having seen the Child in the manger, let us joyfully sing to Him:

Jesus, angels rejoice;

Jesus, leap of my heart.

Jesus, the whole world's waiting;

Jesus, heavenly radiance.

Jesus Godchild, save us!

ANDthose who believe in faith, the shepherds show the way, and we rejoice with them the same way, we sing to the Born One: Alleluia!

The akathist of Archbishop Nikon contains a Russian phrasal acrostic: "I sing the Nativity of Christ with the spirit."

New article: a prayer from Christmas Eve to Christmas on the site site - in all the details and details from the many sources that we managed to find.

The most important night is considered to be Christmas Eve, the evening before Christmas. The story says that on this day people did not eat until the first star appeared in the sky. To see if the first star has appeared, you need to go out into the courtyard: you won’t see a star from the window - it’s not good. It is also important that Christmas is not celebrated in everyday clothes - to poverty.

If a dark-haired person crosses the threshold first at Christmas, he will bring happiness. Some dark-haired family members even go out and enter the house after midnight on purpose. As soon as the clock strikes twelve, the head of the family must open the window to let in Christmas, and with it happiness, good luck and prosperity. What you think about on Christmas Eve, everything will come true, everything will come true. Children born on Christmas bring happiness and good luck to all family members.

Dancing and playing outdoors on Christmas Eve, especially around the Christmas tree, is considered a good custom to prevent bad luck and illness for the next twelve months.

Also on the holiday it is important to say special prayer words that will bring peace and prosperity into your life.

Christmas Eve Prayer

Thy Nativity, Christ our God, rise to the world, the light of reason. In it, because they serve the stars, I learn to bow to You as a star, the Sun of Truth, and lead You from the height of the East. Lord, glory to You. It is worthy to eat as truly blessed Thee, the Mother of God, the Blessed and Immaculate, and the Mother of our God. The most honest Cherubim and the most glorious without comparison Seraphim, without the corruption of God the Word, who gave birth to the real Mother of God, we magnify Thee.

Guessing should be on an empty stomach and alone. Go to the birch, make a wish and break the branch. Before you break her, say:

Count all the buds on the branch. If their number is even, then your wish will come true.

Divination for Christmas by candlelight

Anyone who has ever used this divination is convinced that it is always true. Buy in advance in the church during the service seven candles of different colors. From the church you need to go home without going anywhere. Before lighting the candles, put on a buttonless shirt and let your hair down. Hang a mirror and curtain the windows.

When you light the candles, read the plot for true fortune-telling three times, and then extinguish them with your breath. Put the candles under your pillow, and in the morning, without looking, take out three candles. In the evening, sign which of the candles (by color) will mean what you called her.

Designation of candles:

2 - fame and money

3 - married life

5 - happiness and luck

7 - long life

I remind you: you must mark in advance somewhere on a piece of paper what color the candle will predict.

Today is a very special day, and it is called Christmas Eve. In the house where believers live, there is perfect cleanliness all around, the expectation of the miracle of the birth of the Divine Infant, the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ is felt in everything! Pious people carry the last day of their fast and, according to an old tradition, do not eat food until the first star appears in the sky. In the evening, a candle is lit by the oldest in the family and placed on the windowsill, and this is a sign of love for God, a sign that everyone in this house is ready to receive the Divine Infant Christ with His Blessed Mother, recalling the gospel story about how They did not find that day for a shelter in ancient Bethlehem. The old people said: “Whoever has a candle burning on the window on Christmas Eve, God will never leave him!”

Today I want to tell you how they laid the table on Christmas Eve.

In general, believers pay special, one might even say, reverent attention to Christmas Eve, because this is the eve of the Nativity of Christ (January 6). All Christians keep a particularly strict fast on this day and keep it until the first evening star. It is important that the whole family gather in the house, and in no case should anyone raise their voices, be rude or reproach for anything. All disagreements are not for this Holy Day, but whoever sins with swearing and scandal on this day, that whole year will be “like barking (cursing),” as the old people used to say in Rus'. All week until this day, the housewives washed, scrubbed, washed and cleaned, so that on Christmas Eve there would be grace and purity in the house. In the evening, straw is placed on the table, and a snow-white tablecloth is placed on top. In the center of the table, a Christmas kutia is certainly placed, and most importantly, there should be twelve dishes on the table - in memory of those who were with Christ at the table of the Last Supper. Wealthy people have always strived for the Christmas table to be as rich and sophisticated as ever, as this, in turn, also affects whether the new year will be rich or not. Here is an approximate menu of the Christmas feast: kutya, pork head with horseradish, jelly from pork and beef legs, fish, pancakes, homemade sausage, aspic, suckling pig stuffed with porridge, roast, honey gingerbread, corned beef and broth. Having waited for the first star, the family, crossing themselves and praying, sat down at the table. The meal began with kutya and pancakes. Everything was done slowly, sedately and without fuss. On the same day, carols began, and from this table food was also given to those who caroled.

What prayers are read before Christmas on Christmas Eve, the text of the prayer?

The Service of the Eve of the Nativity of Christ, as Christmas Eve is otherwise called in the Liturgical Books. The whole service of this day is called upon to reveal to us the essence of the Feast of the Nativity of Christ as fully as possible. The service consists of the so-called. "Royal Hours"- This is an expanded version of the Everyday Hours, with an increased number of readings about the Born Divine Infant. Followed by pictorial (short solemn service - depicting the Liturgy) because we must be reminded that the True Liturgy is celebrated first in spiritual heaven. It conveys to us only the echoes of that heavenly joy, in which Angels are already participating. After all, before people knew that the Savior was already Born into the World. After the Pictorial Liturgy, our actual earthly Liturgy begins. It begins on this day with Great Vespers and smoothly flows into the Liturgy of St. Basil the Great. Well, in short, the meaning of the services is as follows.

On the very day of the Nativity of Christ, the Service consists of Great Compline, Matins and the Liturgy of John Chrysostom, with corresponding very solemn changes and inserts on the feast. If the Feast of the Nativity of Christ coincides with Sunday, then the Charter indicates otherwise. There are many festive inserts. For example, for the first time in the coming year in this Liturgy we sing

This Liturgy again for the first time contains a special dismissal (end) and a prayer for breaking the fast.

Somehow like this. To quote the full text of the services on the project, I think, would be wrong. Besides, it would take up too much space. And another moment. I described the Orthodox rite. Catholics are a little different. And you didn't mention it in your question. Bring the rituals of folk art, I think for myself in the d.sl. unworthy deed.

Christmas Eve what is it

There are a large number of holidays in the Orthodox calendar. Some of them are basic, and you should definitely follow certain rules for celebrating them, and there are those that do not have such strict requirements. Among the main holidays are Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is the day before the celebration of the Nativity of Christ. The name of this day comes from the word "sochivo", which means the name of the main dish of this holiday. It is considered a special day in the life of Christians. On this day, a church service is held, which is dedicated to the upcoming holiday. It also differs from everyday worship in its order.

The service ends with the reading of the Christmas troparion. You can often hear chants dedicated to Christmas long before the actual celebration. All this is due to the fact that the church is preparing its parishioners for the celebration.

There are a large number of Christmas Eve traditions. These include:

Some begin in the evening to congratulate relatives and relatives on the upcoming celebration.
Others spend this evening in the family circle for a special meal.
The basis should be a remembrance on this special evening of the birth of Jesus Christ.
Many try to go to church on this day, confess and take communion.

It happens that Christmas Eve is also called the day that precedes Epiphany.

What to do on Christmas Eve

As already mentioned, the name of this holiday came from the name of the main dish "sochi". It includes wheat grains soaked in juice. In Ukraine, the grains were soaked in a bowl, and in Russia - in plain water. Next, honey was added. Nowadays, porridge on Christmas Eve is replaced by kutya (kutya).

The day before Christmas is considered the strictest day of Advent. Many say that on this day you can only eat sochivo, and then, after the appearance of the first star in the sky. It is believed that this celebration is a family holiday and therefore the family should gather in the evening at the parent's house at the table.

Many say that it is necessary to celebrate Christmas in festive clothes. It is forbidden to wear black. Our ancestors spoke about what to do before Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve, they always put a bundle of hay on the table. It was a symbol of the manger in which Christ lay. Tree trunks in the gardens were also tied with straw.

The table was covered with a white tablecloth and 12 dishes were served. This number was equal to the number of apostles, and they must be lean. Guys and girls went from house to house and sang carols, thus begging the owners of the houses for money and treats.

Many also talk about the fact that they are guessing this evening. But with such a judgment one must be somewhat careful. Since wrong actions can lead to negative consequences. In addition, the church prohibits any ritual.

The clergy say that in order to purify the soul and body, it is necessary to fast. Such a test will help direct all thoughts to thinking about sins, as well as the bestowal of God's Grace.

Powerful rituals for Christmas to attract good luck and money

Christmas is the holiday that is filled with miracles and magic. The fabulous atmosphere of Christmas is not at all accidental. It is believed that at this time the possibilities of witchcraft are enhanced. The Forces of Darkness and the Forces of Light are trying at this time to fight for human souls. Therefore, the rites held on Christmas Eve and until Epiphany have an incredible power to attract good luck, love and money.

Christmas is a holiday in which Christianity and paganism are closely intertwined, complementing each other and our lives with very useful knowledge. Do not forget the experience of ancestors, which is quite widely known today, helping in any problem. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity and improve your life.

In addition, in addition to rituals and conspiracies, there is a huge layer of signs associated with Christmas, observing which you can get what you want or wish for.

Signs for the Christmas holidays - how to attract good luck and wealth to the house

In addition to the rituals themselves, there are a lot of actions that can help a person get money and good luck. Before applying conspiracies, you can use the right actions to attract the necessary energy in order to get your plan. Then the rite will bring its result better and faster.

On Christmas Eve, a rich table of twelve courses is sure to be served.
Throughout the Christmas week they go to visit and receive guests.
It is necessary to give gifts and treats abundantly during this period.
Be sure to go to the temple for service and bring candles, prosphora after the service, and holy water into the house from the church. They will fill your home with the light energy of goodness.
Be sure to give alms to the poor at this time.

The secret of these actions is that at this time powerful streams of energies come from Heaven, affecting health, luck, wealth. And when we visit and receive them, we seem to speed up the circulation of the flows of this energy, giving it the opportunity not to stagnate and be renewed.

Christmas rituals to get rich and get more money

Since money is what a person always needs, rituals to attract it are the most popular. The peculiarity of some of them is that attraction conspiracies operate exclusively during the magical time of the Christmas holidays. Therefore, you should always be ready to make the most of this time.

magic coins

This ritual for adding money is found in many religions. Muslims and Buddhists have similar rituals to ensure well-being in the home. As a rule, such rituals are practiced on the most important holidays, when it is customary to have fun and serve rich meals. Christmas is just such a day when the whole family can gather at the festive table.

To conduct such a ritual, you need to prepare the main festive Christmas dish - kutya. These are steamed cereals mixed with honey, poppy seeds and nuts. Such a dish comes from the sochi mentioned in the Bible, from which the name of the festive evening comes - Christmas Eve.

A dish with coins is placed on the festive Christmas table, and the dinner itself begins with three spoons of kutya. After eating kutia, everyone should take one coin from the dish and put it under their plate. When they put a coin, they say conspiracies to add.

They choose one and say it three times in a whisper. Conspiracies in this case act as an encoding for your coin. Let it lie under the plate until the end of the festive evening. Thus, programming is carried out to help in obtaining money.

Before finishing dinner, the coin is put in a pocket or purse and is not parted with it for the next year. Before next Christmas, you can spend a coin and talk to yourself a new talisman to add money. With such a fiat coin, money will stick to you like a magnet, and your family will not need anything - the rite will affect everyone in it.

With the first spoon - it is customary to ask for health for yourself and all family members.
With the second spoon - they ask for good luck and material prosperity.
They eat the third spoon, asking God for the fulfillment of their desire. Usually they ask for love, a good husband, or kindness in the house.

Ritual for money under the pillow

Going to bed on the night before Christmas, several beautiful bills are laid out under the pillow. Money must be laid out randomly, and bills must be of different denominations. With this ritual, you will call for both luck and good luck in the next year.

The next morning, when you wake up, before opening your eyes, put your hand under the pillow and take out any banknote without looking. Then, with this money, conspiracies or prayers are read to add and multiply wealth.

If you carry such a charmed bill with you, then next year you will be lucky to add money. Just keep it secret and do not give the secret to anyone - otherwise you may be harmed.

Conspiracies to attract money

There are many different rituals to attract material enrichment to yourself next year. Therefore, you can do several rituals that bring what you want.

Christmas wash

Waking up on Christmas morning, you need to wash yourself with holy water. When they wash, they read the plot. If there is one of your relatives nearby, great! Then washing can be done together, and your family will not be left out of luck, and success will always accompany everyone.

In this case, you need to alternately drain the holy water to each other, reading a conspiracy over the one to whom they are draining. If there is a church candle in the house, be sure to light it. She will amplify your words.

“I am washing a servant of God, a diligent and diligent servant.

Get away from him all the evil spirits and thirty-three misfortunes.

Come goodness immeasurable yes luck endless.

Wipe sadness and sadness from your face.

May the Lord have mercy and give a good fate.

Not to know (name) neither sorrows, nor sorrows, nor wanderings around the world.

Let goodness be born in the barns, and let it be eared in the fields, but it will never be translated into a purse! Amen".

Such words are recited over the washing one three times. Then they wipe their face with a beautiful towel. When performing the ceremony, be sure to prepare the most beautiful and elegant towel.

magic comb

To conduct the ceremony, you need to buy a comb or comb. Be sure to buy a new one, all your bad luck and bad luck have already been combed on the old one. It is desirable that it be a beautiful, expensive accessory. It's hard to lure wealth with cheap items.

A new comb or comb should be combed throughout the Christmas week in the morning and evening. At the same time, be sure to pronounce the words of the conspiracy. Of course, you need to do this slowly, without rushing anywhere, pondering the words and asking the Lord for mercy. A formal approach will not give the desired result.

“I comb my hair with a comb, I comb out my misfortune.

I call on angels to help, I call on Christmas heaven to pray.

I read prayers to the Lord and bow down humbly.

Protect from troubles, take away from seduction, save your soul from the devilish temptation.

I comb, I comb, I comb luck and money.

Tell me a sinner (name), how to be-act.

Get wealth and good luck in the house. Amen! ".

Such a ritual will bring your life not only financial success, but generally clear your head of stupid thoughts, suggest plans for the future, which will significantly improve your life. Indeed, in many cases, a person just needs to renew the energy of the aura, and then, along with good luck, all the best will come that will make his life happy.

In addition to rituals for money, luck and prosperity, there are still a lot of strong rituals for Christmas for love, beauty, health, happiness and any other benefits. Listen to your heart and choose one or more of them.

Photo gallery: Prayer for Christmas: how to pray and with what words (texts)

Prayer is a special intimate conversation between a person and God, in which one acquires a reverent state and a feeling of touching eternal truths. Prayer for Christmas helps to find peace of mind and peace. This frank appeal to God can express a request, repentance or gratitude. A conversation with God is always individual, and it is necessary to be alone with the Savior, to purify your thoughts and soul.

The Action of Prayer

Every person from time to time goes through difficult periods in life, when the only support that gives hope is a sincere conversation with the Almighty. Many people know the situation when, in everyday life and in especially dangerous moments, we, without hesitation, immediately recall the “Our Father” prayed for centuries or the sacred words known to everyone: “Lord, have mercy.” As soon as we begin to pray, we immediately feel the invisible presence and care of higher powers, a touch on something unknown and eternal.

Prayer is able to remove the heavy burden that a person carries in his soul. It cleanses, pacifies, relieves and soothes. But sacred words have an effect if a person believes in divine powers and opens his soul and heart when reading them. Not all people know the texts by heart, but when it becomes necessary to turn to God, it is openness that is important, and then even simple words coming from the soul will certainly be heard. Prayers are:

Private - addressed in private to the Lord with a request or gratitude.
Public - texts that form the basis of worship, passing to us from generation to generation. They are divided into several types:

repentant;
petition;
gratitude.

You can communicate with God both aloud and mentally. A mental appeal to the Lord allows you to start a personal monologue with him at any time.

Features of prayer for Christmas

Christmas night is special, it is filled with magical magic, as if all higher powers descend to earth, joyfully glorifying God. It is believed that it is on the night of the Nativity of Christ that the heavenly channel of communication with the Almighty opens. Therefore, the prayers that the priest says in the temple have a special meaning and great power. Festive holy days, as well as the observance of all church canons, strengthen the appeal to God. A sincere prayer coming from the heart on Christmas will certainly be heard and will help to survive a difficult period in life or alleviate suffering.

For those who do not have the opportunity to visit the church, you can also pray at home at a holy supper. The main prayer, which must certainly be read, is the “Our Father”, known to everyone since ancient times. You can also read an appeal to the Mother of God or to Jesus Christ - a prayer for Christmas. To attract love and happiness into your life, you can use a special prayer that is read in the morning on Christmas Day.

How to pray correctly

Every person can receive an answer to the appeal, regardless of where exactly he pronounces the sacred words. A prayer appeal should resemble a conversation with the closest person, a meeting with a friend. The main thing at the same time is to start and end the ritual correctly, which will help a few important recommendations:

It is advisable to prepare for prayer in advance, then it will have great power. To do this, you need to bring order to your thoughts and create peace in your soul. No extraneous thoughts should disturb the mind, it is important to concentrate as much as possible on the spoken words.
It is necessary to pray in front of the icon and preferably with the image of the person to whom the prayer is addressing.
It is important to read texts from the bottom of your heart, thinking about the spoken words.
You can not let any images into consciousness. Also, you should not present the image of the Saint you are addressing.
It is important to forgive everyone whom you previously considered enemies, to rid your soul of hatred, anger, resentment.
To get the maximum effect, you need to light a candle. Fire is a conductor of energy and in this case enhances the effect of the request.
If you are reading an appeal to attract love at Christmas, you should light three candles at the same time. Before pronouncing sacred words, you need to mentally imagine the image of a loved one who would move towards you.
Before starting prayer, it is important to overshadow yourself with the sign of the cross, which helps to attract the grace of God and protects from negative energy.
It is best to start praying by reading "Our Father", overshadowing yourself with the sign of the cross before and after reading each prayer.
Having finished the prayer, it is necessary to kiss the icon, expressing faith and reverence for the Saint.

Remember that a prayer is not always fulfilled immediately, for some kind of request it is sometimes necessary for many circumstances to line up, the main thing is not to lose faith!
