Lazarus Saturday - holiday April 11, 2020

Fasting in Orthodox Christianity is a rather important tradition. Especially great importance has for believers Great Lent, anticipating a bright Easter. Saturday of the sixth week (week) of this period is called Lazarus Saturday. What is this holiday dedicated to?

All Saints, Tone 2

Apostles, martyrs and prophets, / saints, reverend and righteous, / who have accomplished a good deed and kept the faith, / having boldness in the Savior, / for us, as Good, pray, / / be saved, we pray, to our souls.

Translation: Apostles, martyrs and prophets, saints, reverend and righteous, who valiantly accomplished the feat and preserved the faith, having boldness before the Savior, beseech Him for us, as good, we pray, for the salvation of our souls!

The Lord asked the apostles, how do they understand Him? In the face of St. Apostle Peter, they answered: “You are the Christ” (). This confession did not suddenly mature, but, having matured, it settled into the depths of the heart and became its source guide. It was overshadowed by the death of the Lord, but not shaken, and, having been resurrected with even greater power by the Resurrection, it aspired the apostles throughout their lives to preach to the whole world.

There is a moment for every believer when he says with all his strength: “You are Christ, my Lord and Savior. You are my salvation, my light, my strength, my comfort, my hope, and my eternal life.” Then that happens, from which he and the apostle cry out: “Who separated from love and Christ's! () - and, like him, he begins to pursue everything that is pleasing to Christ the Lord, until he reaches the measure of His age.

Most church holidays come from Holy Scripture, and each of them is associated with some event in the life of Jesus Christ. Many people wonder when all these celebrations are celebrated? When in 2017: Annunciation, Palm Sunday, Lazarus Saturday, Radonitsa, Easter, Krasnaya Gorka and other major Orthodox holidays?

The main Orthodox holidays of April 2017Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary falls on 07.04.2017.

As you know, any work is prohibited on this day. There is very little information about the reason for the origin of such rules. As the church broadcasts, it is with this that the embodiment of the Lord's plan for the salvation of mankind begins, through the only son of Jesus Christ.

Lazarus Saturday

Lazarus Saturday falls on 08.04.2017.

This is one of the most joyful holidays, which reminds us of the great miracle of the Lord, who resurrected Lazarus.

Jesus treated Lazarus very well, he often visited his house. Unfortunately, death does not look good man or bad. The young man was quite young and full of strength, but he was struck down by an illness and died. Already on the fourth day, Jesus was informed about the death of the guy. His family had lost all hope. Even when Christ came and asked to boil the tomb, they began to dissuade him, because the body had already begun to decompose and give off a smell. Nevertheless, they opened the stone, and the Lord said: “Lazarus! Get out!". There was a shock in front of the eyes of relatives and all those who came, because a young man came out of the tomb, all in bandages and scraps.

It was this event that became the manifestation of the Glory of God. But this is precisely what prompted the Pharisees to make the final decision to execute Jesus.

Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday is tied to the event when Jesus entered Jerusalem. Many came out to meet Him with palm leaves in their hands. But not everyone reacted to His arrival with jubilation, many considered Jesus a threat to the policy of cruel Caesar. To get rid of the problem, they accused Him of attempting the throne, and decided to execute Christ.

A week later, everyone who greeted the Savior with rejoicing betrayed him and stood in the crowd with the rest and threw stones at him while he carried the cross to Mount Calvary.

This day is celebrated a week before Easter this year, and will fall on 09.04.2017.

Happy Easter

Easter is the happiest and most important holiday for Christians. It is dedicated to the Resurrection of Christ, His victory over death and disease. It is a celebration of light, love and hope.

On this day, all believers rejoice and rejoice. They bake cakes and paint eggs.

Each time, Easter falls on a different day, so it's quite difficult to predict on your own. It is calculated using lunar calendar and this year Easter falls on 16.04.2017.

Red hill

This holiday combines Orthodox traditions, and reminders of pagan rituals. This holiday symbolizes the full arrival of spring and warmth. It falls on the first Sunday after Easter, which means 23.04.2017.

Radunitsa - Parents' Day

It is hard to believe that the holiday, when everyone commemorates the dead, brings a joyful mood. But it is. On this day, all living people turn to their ancestors with requests for help for a fertile harvest.

This year, Radunitsa (also Radonitsa), falls on 25.04.2017 - on the ninth day after the celebration of Easter. Countries such as Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and Russia call this holiday in different ways, but the most common name is Parents' Day.

Humanity has experienced many large-scale pandemics and epidemics. It is believed that the first epidemic broke out in Athens from 431 to 427 BC, during the Peloponnesian War. About 30 thousand people became its victims. Modern scholars argue that the cause of the Athenian epidemic was not the plague, but a combination of measles and typhus.

The Plague of Justinian claimed many lives. The name of the epidemic is due to the fact that its beginning occurred during the reign of the Byzantine emperor Caesar Flavius Justinian. The first plague epidemic on the shores of the Mediterranean lasted two centuries, from 541 to 750 AD. The peak fell on the year 544, when up to 5-10 thousand people died daily in Constantinople. In Europe, according to various estimates, from 25 to 50 million people died from this epidemic, and more than 66 million people died in North Africa, Central Asia and Arabia. Plague caused pandemics more than once.

Smallpox was also a dangerous disease. Because of this disease, the population of China and Korea has decreased by a quarter, Japan - by 40%. AT XVII-XVIII centuries the death rate from smallpox in Europe and Russia was up to 1.5 million people a year. The last smallpox epidemic in Europe was recorded in 1871-1873. In addition to individual outbreaks of plague and smallpox, several pandemics have been associated with cholera. Currently, this disease is practically not dangerous due to the development of vaccination and the widespread use of antibiotics. However, sporadic cholera outbreaks still occur in developing and poor countries today. So, ten years ago, a cholera epidemic arose on the island of Haiti, it affected 7% of the population and claimed the lives of 10 thousand people.

Four epidemics remain active today: AIDS/HIV, tuberculosis, malaria and influenza. Every year, about four million people become victims of them, despite the constant work on the creation of new drugs and treatments. At the same time, several diseases that caused deadly pandemics in the past can now be considered defeated. Scientists and doctors have found effective means smallpox and plague, which killed hundreds of millions of people.

Epidemic of bubonic plague in Europe. infographics

On February 14, 1349, the inhabitants of Strasbourg burnt alive more than 2,000 Jews in the city cemetery.

At that time, the Jews became victims of pogroms and massacres not only in Alsace, but also in other regions. Western Europe. Popular rumor then repeated that allegedly Jews are much less likely to get sick with the plague, since they themselves spread it. And they do this, as it was said then, in order to exterminate the Christian peoples of Europe. At that time, the Polish king Casimir the Great volunteered to save the Jews from persecution, who invited all people of the Jewish faith to come to his possessions. Tens of thousands of people then found a new home on the lands of the so-called Lesser Poland, which then included the territory of western Ukraine.

See in the infographic how the plague raged in Europe and by what means they fought it.
