Signs for Palm Sunday

So, for example, it is believed that consecrated willow should be kept in the house, in a vase without water, near the icons. Such a willow protects the house from evil spirits, troubles, and diseases. The willow should last until the next similar holiday; it does not fade or even fall off.

Another sign says that if buds bloom on the willow tree on the eve of the holiday, then the year will be rich in harvest, the land will be fertile, and life will be filled with bright and joyful events.

Also, healing properties are attributed to willow brought from the temple. On Palm Sunday, when people congratulate each other, they apply to their foreheads loved one hope that they will not get sick and stay healthy for a year. Also, various things were made from willow healing infusions, it was believed that if a baby was bathed in such a decoction, he would grow healthy and develop quickly.

Willow buds were worn as a talisman for a young man so that he would always be in good physical shape, and young girls wore such talismans in order to conceive a child.

The willow represents the greeting of Christ, since when he entered the gates of Jerusalem on this day, he was greeted with a wave of a palm branch, as was customary to greet kings and victors. Since palm trees do not grow on the lands of the Slavs, palm branches were replaced with willow branches.

Palm Sunday is the day Jesus entered Jerusalem. IN Orthodox Church this holiday is called the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem. After Christ raised Lazarus, rumors about him spread through many cities of Israel, people believed that he was the king who would save them from slavery. In those days, it was customary for rulers to enter the city on a donkey. Thus, he declared that he came in peace. So Jesus did just that. And the people of Jerusalem, in turn, also, as befits a ruler, greeted the Messiah with palm branches, and some presented their clothes to Jesus’ feet.

Probably everyone Orthodox Christian at least once in your life the question arose about how the willow is connected with the fact that Christ entered Jerusalem and was greeted as a king with palm branches? This is explained by the fact that not all countries where Christianity is practiced have palm trees. Therefore, in countries they are replaced with tree branches, which are the first to bloom in the spring. Therefore, our palm branches were replaced by willow. In addition, for us this tree symbolizes virtue, renewal, new life.

Traditions and rituals on Palm Sunday

Even in ancient times, this holiday was celebrated on a special scale; festivities were held in many cities - Moscow, Rostov, Novgorod and others. However, over time, this day began to be celebrated more modestly. But some traditions exist in our time.

For example, on the night of Palm Sunday, it is customary to spend time in the church blessing the branches of the Willow, previously plucked near the nearest rivers. In the morning, it was customary to lightly hit your children with willow branches with the words: “I don’t hit, it’s the willow that hits!” Thus, parents cleansed their children from evil eyes, damage, and evil spirits. The same ritual was performed with adults. Many believed that this would help attract health, be stronger and stronger.

It should be noted that the willow branches that were going to be carried to the temple for consecration should be cut only from young trees that do not yet have dried branches or damage. Also, according to folk beliefs, on Palm Sunday you cannot take branches from trees that have hollows, as well as from those that grow next to the cemetery. It was not recommended to take branches from trees that lean over the water, because at night mermaids and mermaids could rest on them.

Also, so that no ailment or illness would take hold, people swallowed the buds of the consecrated willow. This ritual was also used to attract good luck in new endeavors. Many people in those days ate three kidneys before starting any important business.

Girls who wanted to marry a certain guy thought about this guy all day, from morning until evening. And soon they were preparing for a date.

But in order to increase their income, in ancient times people planted a flower or replanted indoor plants. It was believed that such plants bring wealth to the house. If the flower withers, then there will be no profit; on the contrary, they believed that huge financial losses would soon await them. Therefore, they tried to store and care for this flower especially carefully.

The willow branches brought from the temple were kept by the housewives for a whole year and placed in front corner hut near the icon. When spring came into its own, people used this branch to drive out their cattle. According to legends, this can protect livestock from diseases.

When the sowing season began, willow branches were always stuck into the ground in the field. So they believed that this would contribute to a rich harvest and save it from harm.

Many women tried to save the buds of this plant in case of illness. When someone in the house was unwell, the wives baked pies with willow buds, added them to water and tea, and waited for a speedy recovery.

Very often on this day, so-called palm bazaars were held, where lavish festivities were held, a variety of goods were sold and various carousels and games were held. One of the main customs of such fairs is the sale of willow cherubs (willow branches decorated with angels).

To find out fate, a willow twig that caught one’s heart was placed in water. They talked with her, shared dreams and secrets, and complained about adversity. The willow will take root, the girl will receive fulfillment of her desires and wealth. But not before the branch planted at the edge of the garden begins to grow. Withered branch - sure sign, that some kind of misfortune threatened the girl. Only the willow “pulled it back” and neutralized it. Therefore, it was supposed to be burned as quickly as possible.

They used charms for earrings and weddings. To do this, three “fluffs” were chewed and savored. If the earrings taste sweet, the girl will soon be married. And if the flowers are bitter, live in parental home one more year. Gain beauty and health from willow.
