Tatiana's Day is a holiday dedicated to the Great Martyr Tatiana of Rome. This girl believed in God all her life and suffered a painful death from the pagans. Her sacrifice led many people to Christianity. Therefore, it is so important to remember what date her name is honored in 2019.

Tatyana's day - when will it be in 2019

Tatiana's day in 2019 is celebrated on January 25. It was on this day that Tatiana Rimskaya died for her faith. Every year, church ministers remember the name of the Great Martyr in their prayers and thank her for her good deeds.

Anyone can attend the festive service, and then congratulate all Tatyan friends on their birthday.

In addition, it was on January 25, 1755 that an official decree was signed, according to which Moscow University was formed. And 30 years later, not far from the educational institution, the Church of St. Tatiana was opened.

This important period in history is remembered for the fact that students of the Russian Federation began to honor Tatiana's day as well. This is a great opportunity for young people to organize a holiday during school days.

HISTORY OF THE HOLIDAY

Tatiana's Day has been celebrated by the Orthodox Church for many decades. The history of this holiday dates back to the 3rd century AD. Tatiana Rimskaya was born into a wealthy family and from a young age was surrounded by kindness, care and love.

In gratitude for the wonderful life, the young girl decided to devote herself to the One God and without any hesitation she accepted the dedication. She helped the poor, accepted the needy, and never broke the laws of her Savior.

But Emperor Alexander Sevir did not like the fact that a woman preaches Christianity and "takes" people from the rightful ruler. Therefore, the man enlisted the support of the pagans, caught Tatiana and subjected her to unbearable torture.

The girl endured all trials with dignity and refused to betray Christ and her convictions. None of the kidnappers could understand how Tatyana Rimskaya's wounds heal and why misfortunes occur in their families.

In order to break this "vicious circle" and frighten the inhabitants of the city, it was decided to execute the rebellious Christian woman together with her father. As stated in the annals, the life of the Great Martyr Tatiana ended on January 25 with a prayer on her lips.

The death of the girl helped many people find the right path and come to the Orthodox faith. Over time, it was decided to canonize Tatiana.

Traditions and customs of the holiday

In Russia, there were quite a few traditions associated with Tatyana's day. Today, the customs of the old days have mixed with the modern vision of student holidays.

Here's what exactly it is about:

• On January 25, it was customary to knock out carpets by the river, and then hang them on the fences;
• the girl hid a small homemade broom in the guy's house if she wanted him to look after her;
• the women baked a loaf in the shape of the sun and treated their relatives at dinner. If this is not done, then the spring will be late and cold;
• the one who first wipes his feet on the rug and enters the house of a young unmarried girl will become her chosen one;
• often on this day, tight balls of thread were wound so that in the summer it was possible to get a large harvest of cabbage;
• students come to church and light a candle for the Great Martyr Tatiana, so that she will help them in their studies and passing exams;
• if you open the window in the evening and hold the record book in your hands, shout "freebie come", then the school year will pass easily. Provided that someone answers this call;
• on a holiday, study fades into the background - you can't even take notes within the walls of an educational institution.

Based on the history of the holiday, we can conclude that Tatiana was a kind and peaceful girl. Therefore, on January 25, 2019, you cannot quarrel with anyone or harbor resentment. Negative emotions will attract unhappiness to the house and make life difficult for a person for many months.

In addition, on Tatiana's day, the apartment is cleaned and a modest festive table is set. And if someone asks for help, then you cannot refuse. Otherwise, everything that was done will return like a boomerang.

• in the case when the baked loaf has risen in the center - the year will pass cloudlessly;
• if at sunset the sky is overcast from the north side - the weather will change very soon;
