Forgiveness Sunday date in 2014, the history of the feast day of forgiveness

Forgiveness Sunday occurs on the last day of Pancake Day, the day of forgiveness. On this day people ask each other's forgiveness, and ask for forgiveness, not only those who have wronged someone, ask for forgiveness of all. Even high-ranking clergy from the lowest ranks, the parishioners, beggars.

Date, the number of the holiday, when the mark

Forgiveness Sunday in 2014, noted on March 2 in the last day of Maslenitsa week.

In the church after the evening worship was the so-called rite of forgiveness to begin Lent peace, with a clear mind and a good heart, not holding anyone evil.

Also on this day recall Adam, our biblical ancestor and his expulsion from Paradise. What a wonderful life he had there, and what a difficult, full of misery and deprivation was here for his disobedience. His story illustrates the importance of selflessness and how insignificant gluttony and sordid pleasure.

Forgiveness Sunday Holiday History

But not everyone knows that the custom of asking for forgiveness has come to us from Egypt. This country is about two thousand years ago, sheltered from the persecution of Herod the holy family - Jesus and his mother Mary. Later, there were Christian monasteries.

Monks before Easter went on for forty days in the desert to pray alone in our Lord, becoming in his thoughts spiritually purer and thus prepare themselves to encounter with Christ on the day of his resurrection. But one man in the desert to spend forty days is very difficult.

Dangers lurk at every turn. This hungry beasts and snakes and poisonous spiders. The monks went into the desert, knew they could not go back, and that may never see the people with whom they are forgiven. Therefore leaving, they asked for forgiveness from everyone for everything, even for the bad thoughts that may arise in their heads.

Of St Sunday

Gradually, this custom spread and secure. Earlier in the day Russia stopped fighting, opponents had to lay down their arms and seek forgiveness from each other. Even the king of the day asked for forgiveness from his subjects.

People went to the last of the morning to go home and asked for forgiveness from relatives, neighbors, all strangers. And I had to forgive with a pure heart, because God forgives us all our trespasses, as we that the same God above? We should also forgive and continue to live in peace and harmony, as well as Christ wanted.

Day for forgiveness

Some people think that they have nothing to ask forgiveness, because they live well, do not steal, do not kill, do not do anyone any harm. Here it is useful to recall the story of the Pharisee and the publican.

First also lived well, and prayed, fasted twice a week and considered themselves as better than others. He asked God for recognition of their services. Publican collecting taxes from the people, serving the invaders, so people mostly hated him. He clearly was aware of his position and everything asked of God - forgiveness.

God has accepted the request of the Publican and the Pharisee rejected because one blinded by his pride, trying to elevate yourself and be on a level with God.

All of us voluntarily or involuntarily commit various major and minor sins - swear, even if it is true! for growing with each passing day the price. Sometimes, scandals in the queues, rumbling when a crowded bus someone came to us on foot, or when a neighbor on Sunday morning suddenly decided to drive a nail into the wall for a hanger.

But you never know when and whom we have wronged in the past year thing or inadvertently dropped word! It is for all this we must ask for forgiveness, not formally, of course, but quite consciously and to try in the future has not to repeat these mistakes (will not be the same every time we apologize for the same thing).

If all do it from the heart, our lives will surely become better.
