The history and traditions of the holiday, faith healing in the Orthodox religious holiday.
Lazarus Saturday holy day in 2012 on 7 April.
In the Orthodox Church this day remember what Christ did. He raised Lazarus, a close friend. This happened in front of thousands of laity.
After four days of death, pushed the stone that covered the entrance to the cave, and Jesus said to Lazarus after a long prayer, "Go away! "He rose and left the funeral.
The history and traditions of the holiday
After the resurrection, Lazarus lived thirty years. And all the while, went to teach his people. The news quickly dispersed among the inhabitants of the village. Those who have not seen this with my own eyes, they could not believe as long as he Lazarus appeared before them.
After such an event, arrived the next day, Jesus, greeted as a king. Before donkey on which he came, they lined the road who could. Basically it was the laurel. After all gone through, the people believed in miracles.
But this is the act of Christ assured his enemies that Jesus must be killed. Since that time, a period of darkness. After days of Christ's life are numbered. All the people, the enemies of Jesus, begin to suggest that their Savior has the power of witchcraft, and that you can not believe it. There are always people who do not want to take good deeds.
Good people are always trying to destroy, ruin their reputation. And it is this act, the Savior wanted to show their power of prayer, to show that he is God and man, the people believe in his resurrection. After all, he knew in advance about their rapid demise. But it then no one believed. His students, always begin to believe, but after seeing with their own eyes. And that is why Christ had much to do before a huge crowd of people. But he was not discouraged, because he was confident in my abilities and wanted to help people to strengthen their faith.
Faith healing in the Orthodox holiday Lazarus Saturday
Since then, this day is revered great holiday. At this time, all our people, believe in healing. It was only at this time, are fighting among themselves darkness and light. On this festive day for all, especially for the clergy, comes the true time to change robes. Instead of black, they wear white, thus showing its relationship with the risen Lazarus.
Whether people believe in a miracle, a private matter of each person. As well as believe in life after death. No one ever in the church will not get you to impose faith in someone else. You have to believe in the soul, and if not, then do not force yourself.
Our people are always complaining about their shiftless and unhappy life. People are always talking about their illnesses. This is absolutely wrong. No church can help them in their troubles. After all, Jesus showed by his example, do not need to lament about the trouble and look pitiful consolation.
A man can cry, thus pour out their grief, and then make a miracle with their own hands, namely, self-heal or to help others suffering. I do not need extra words. After all, the day after Lazarus Saturday, Palm Sunday.
No wonder people say "Verbohlёst, beat to tears! "It tears come out of your sickness and grief.
Honor holidays, and believe in themselves. A Savior has always come to the rescue when you do not expect it. Gd always sees and hears you!
