    Holidays Christian

    Holidays Christian - certain days of the church calendar, noted by worships wearing an individual liturgical character. This is fixed in the names of the holidays and "requaling times", dates and the procedure for their commitment, as well as in the content of texts executed during worship. Their goal and the meaning - the memories, the glorification and theological interpretation of the key stages of the history of salvation, which is incarnated mainly in the events of the earthly life of Jesus Christ (Savior), and the Virgin Mary - the real accomplicity of this God-human process. From here - an exceptional place in the calendar of the holidays dedicated to them.

    Holidays are distributed within two annual cycles superimposed on each other - (mining) and (triode, or Easter-Pentecostal). Celebrations and memorable events of the first cycle are strictly fixed only by the numbers of the month (for the dates of the Julian calendar in relation to the modern civilian need amendment: N - 13 days, - for the XX-XXI centuries). The second holidays are fixed only by day of the week, being tightly correlated from the Easter, which is a point of reference for the entire mobile annual cycle. The date of the latter moves within 35 days ("Easter limits"): dated April 4 (March 22, under Art.) - until May 8 (April 25, Art. Art.).

    The most important holidays of the modern Orthodox calendar are referred to as "the two-month", or "twinley" (from Glot. Two-Twelve) (see). As "holiday holidays", abides outside this classification.

    The second step in the festive hierarchical staircase occupy holidays called in the liturgical word "Great". They own: the cover of the Most Holy Virgin (October 1/14), circumcision of the Lord and the memory of St. Vasily Great (January 1, January 1), Christmas of John the Baptist (June 24 / July 7), the memory of the Barmer Agps. Peter and Paul (June 29 / July 12), the convention of the head of John the Baptist (August 29 / September 11), as well as, according to some old calendars, - the Pressure (Concent) of the AP. John the Bogoslova (September 26 / October 9), memory holy. Nikolai, Archbishop World of Lycian (December 6/19) and the transfer of his relics from the world to Italian Bari (9/22 May).

    All other numerous holidays are devoted to the disembodied forces (a common holiday - the Cathedral of Arresting Mikhail, November 8/21), the Holy Old Testament and Christian, memories of the significant events of the Sacred Biblical and Christian history, the phenomenon of the miraculous icons, the opening of the relics.
    The constant canonization of new saints means the continuous replenishment of the Christian calendar.

    In the church charter (Tipikon), there is a gradation of all holidays for five discharges according to the degree of solemnity of their worship services, which is fixed by special signs (the sixth discharge does not have a sign). The prestinal holiday of any temple (the name of which he wears) is equated for him in a liturgical aspect to the two-month holidays. The same degree of solemnity may be inherent in the "local" holidays, even having a modest liturgical status on the general flowering level.

    Common holidays for all Christians - first of all Easter and the Christmas of Christ (the latter, as a special calendar celebration, has no Armenian and other monophimita churches). The most important annual holidays mainly coincide with the Orthodox and Catholics (because they are based on the same events of sacred history), but differ in dates, often names and semantic nuances, as well as the nature of the commission.
    Many saints of a single church are equal to: Eastern - in the West, Western ones - in the East (Vasily Great - Amvrosy Mediolsky, and others). But the Holy One Church, who lived after the separation of churches (1054), can be honored in another church mainly at the local level, with the permission of the church authorities. The official Catholic calendar, for example, includes the names of SWV. Kirill Tourovsky (May 11), Anthony of Pechersk (July 24), equal to Olga and Vladimir (July 27 and 28), Boris and Gleb (August 5), Sergius of Radonezh (October 8); Vladimir icon of the Mother of God is also honored (September 7).
    Protestants, rejecting the worship of the Mother of God, the saints, relics and icons, do not have in their calendars and their respective holidays.

    The study of holidays in the context of the general process of formation of the church calendar is engaged in (letters. "Holiday studies") - auxiliary historical discipline, one of the sections of academic liturgical.

    The liturgical texts are contained in the service, in 12 volumes (for fixed holidays), lean and color (for mobile), more festive, as well as in numerous publications of individual holidays, often containing historical references, comments, notation and other applications.

    "How to celebrate a holiday? We celebrate an event (to delve into the greatness of the events, his goal, his fruit for believers) or face, like, for example: Lord, Mother, Angels and Saints (in the attitude of the person to God and humanity, in the welfare influence of him to the Church of God , at all). It is necessary to peel into the history of events or faces, approach an event or face, otherwise the holiday will be imperfect, unavoidable. Holidays should have an impact on our lives, should be revived, to bother our faith (hearts) to future benefits and feed pious, good morals. "
