During the period from January 7 to January 17, there are no one-day fasts, since Christmastide is celebrated on these days

We have sorted out the list of holidays falling in January. Now I’ve come to talk about the most important and most valuable days in the second winter month, which should be given special attention.

Nativity

At Christmas, the souls and hearts of Christians are filled with light, love and happiness. On this day the Savior, Jesus Christ, was born, so everyone who honors and respects his laws should celebrate the holiday with dignity. At Christmas, it is customary to wish each other well, all kinds of prosperity and, of course, health. Many songs written specifically for this winter celebration praise the Lord, the Mother of God and Christ himself.

On Holy Evening, it is customary to visit each other, take the Holy Supper and treat the host and hostess to it. On this day, children go from house to house and sing carols, sing songs, and recite poems.

Christmas is also famous for fortune-telling, which, as a rule, come true. From time immemorial, girls have performed Christmas fortune-telling to determine their destiny, find out about their lover and find answers to a number of other questions.

Circumcision of the Lord

After birth, on the eighth day, Jesus Christ accepted Circumcision - this was done with all newborn male babies. This holiday is also extremely important for Orthodox Church.

January 14 is still familiar to all of us as Old New Year. On this day, it is customary to say goodbye to everything that happened last year and hope for the best in the future. There is a tradition that is passed down from generation to generation.

From January 13 to 14, men come to the house of their relatives, friends or just neighbors to “sow” special cereals and wish them all the best and health.

Epiphany or Holy Epiphany

As the Gospel says, John the Baptist, a mere mortal who led one of the Jewish sects, performed a great sacred act during his lifetime - he baptized the thirty-year-old Jesus Christ in the Jordan River.

During the baptism, a bright white light suddenly flashed and the Holy Spirit descended to earth in the form of a snow-white dove. And a loud voice came from heaven - it was the Lord himself speaking. He told that Jesus was his son and that his blessing lived in him. This holiday symbolizes the appearance of the Holy Trinity: God, his son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, who descended to people in the form of a white dove.

After his baptism, Christ acquired an incredible gift and used it to benefit others.

Throughout the history of its existence, the Feast of Epiphany has acquired many traditions, rituals and signs. Perhaps the most important and ancient tradition is swimming in an ice hole. For a long time, people went to the pond to swim in the icy water, wash away all their sins and gain health for the whole year. It was believed that on this day water is charged with energy and can cure all kinds of diseases.

Tatyana's Day

Every saint bears special meaning for the Orthodox Church. These people were elevated to the ranks of saints for a certain great deed, so they are remembered to this day.

On February 25, the church “gave” it to the Holy Great Martyr Tatiana (Titiana). She grew up and studied in the family of a noble Roman dignitary who secretly preached Christianity. The growing love for the Almighty gave Titiana the strength to do good throughout the entire earth. The young girl did not even want to get married, but devoted herself entirely to serving the church.

During the persecution to which Christians were subjected, they wanted to sacrifice the Holy Great Martyr Titiana to a pagan idol. But the woman’s faith did not shake; for this, Emperor Alexander Severus gave the order to torture Titiana. During such bullying, the martyr did not betray her God and was faithful to him until her last breath.

By the way, Titiana is considered the patroness of students, so January 25 is also familiar to us as Student’s Day.

Honoring Orthodox holidays is an integral part of the life of believers who strive to observe all canons and religious ceremonies. In this article we will name and characterize all Church holidays in Russia in 2017 year, which almost completely coincide in dates with holidays church days any other Orthodox country.

There are many different classifications of holidays in church calendar. For an ordinary person there is no particular difference which scheme to use in Everyday life, since to navigate when and what holiday according to the church calendar 2017 An inexpensive calendar bought in the icon shop of any Orthodox church will help.

But each calendar always uses one or another classification, so you need to know its meaning in order to behave correctly on the day of a religious celebration.

For convenience, we have roughly divided all church holidays into five main groups. Some of them are divided into subgroups:

Great Orthodox holidays

This group includes all celebrations that Orthodox people consider to be more important than others. These days, as a rule, they refuse worldly life, do not work, gather with family at the table, go to church services, bless water, icons, and food.

Twelfth Orthodox holidays

These identities are also very important in the church calendar. They got the name twelfths because they are on the list of the 12 most valuable for Orthodox people holidays after Easter. They in turn are divided into:

Moving holidays are those that change their date every year (the day of their celebration is counted from the date of the Great Resurrection of Jesus Christ).
Impermanent - having a constant date.

Lents

These are the days when you need to strictly abstain from eating. They are divided into two main subgroups:

One-day fasts - restrictions that must be observed for no more than one day
Multi-day fasts - fasts that need to be observed for weeks or even months

Weeks

All Souls' Days

These days, families gather for meals at home and go to cemeteries to the graves of deceased relatives to remember them.

Church holiday calendar 2017

Since the main church holidays were listed in the classification, for clarity, we transferred them to the calendar, denoting them conditionally:

Red numbers in the calendar indicate important church holidays
Days highlighted in pink are days of strict fasting
Days highlighted with a black square are days of remembrance of the dead

Days highlighted in lilac are days of non-strict fasting, when you can eat everything except meat and fish.
Days highlighted in light lilac are every Saturday and Wednesday, when you need to fast, even if you are not fasting
Days highlighted in red are major church holidays

Every year for Christians around the world begins with the Nativity Fast. Its most difficult period falls precisely on the first New Year's days and is called Holy Week, which will last from January 1 to 6. At this time, the Typicon (church charter) recommends eating lean dishes: without meat, milk, eggs.

Church Orthodox holidays and fasts in January 2017

After these days, one of the most difficult periods in Orthodox life, and the period begins big holidays(cm. church orthodox calendar below). This period begins with Christmas Eve - January 6th. This is the last day of fasting. Christmas Eve got its name from the word “sochivo” - a special dish made from soaked wheat grains and dried fruits, which should be eaten after the first star rises.

With the arrival of January 7 Christmas post finished. The great holiday of the entire Christian world is coming - the Nativity of Christ - the birth of the Savior, the Son God's Jesus Christ.
The next 11 days are popularly called Christmastide. At this time, there are no restrictions on food; you are allowed to eat all the dishes that the body missed during the long Nativity Fast. During Christmastide It is common among people to tell fortunes and sing carols - to dress up in various costumes and sing Christmas songs. Feklistov day January 17 becomes the apogee of the period of fortune telling.
