Radonitsa: What can and cannot be done

Radonitsa is a special day for Orthodox believers. In the second week after Easter, they remember their relatives and friends. This time the holiday fell on April 29th. We talk about what can be done and what can not be done on traditions and commemoration feast.

Traditions

The name of this day comes from the word “joy”. Therefore, it should not be upset about those who leave Radonitsa, but it is better to honor their memory and to remember them in a gentle word.

Believers start the day with a common Panachid by visiting the church they join the rituals and with the Easter cheers. In the temple, it is traditional to send grades with the names of those who died for commemoration. However, the church service should go to the cemetery. There you need to arrange something in the graves of their loved ones: remove the garbage, renew the flowers. Then they burn a candle and read a short monument prayer.

Prayer for the deceased person. The church teaches that the soul cannot do good after death, so he needs prayer intercession of his loved ones. The action can be done both in the temple and at home or in the cemetery. The church approves readings with faith. For example, there are special texts: “Pray for the deceased Christian.” In addition to prayers for certain relatives: spouses, parents, children.
