An important Christian holiday - Epiphany - is invariably associated with water. After all, the most important Epiphany ritual in the world it is a pilgrimage procession to the Jordan River. Believers from all over the world participate in this solemn procession.

For those who do not have the opportunity to make a pilgrimage to the Holy River,
You can join the sacrament of Baptism in your homeland. Currently, the blessing of water is performed in churches and temples of all parishes throughout the Christian world.

All Epiphany rituals are somehow connected with water, but if you do not dare to plunge into cold Epiphany water and you do not have the opportunity to participate in the procession, you can perform some rituals without leaving your home.

Epiphany rituals help in many ways - to recover from many diseases, cleanse your home of accumulated negative energy and even... become more beautiful and younger!

Epiphany ritual for physical health

To perform the ritual, take a fairly warm bath, add water blessed in the church and dip your pectoral cross with which you were baptized into it. After this, lie down so that the water covers your entire body, and lie in a relaxed state for about fifteen minutes. At the same time, imagine yourself in ideal physical shape and thank God for excellent health. After taking a bath, do not use a towel. It will be better if the water dries on the body itself.

Epiphany rituals for wish fulfillment

On the eve of the great holiday, in the evening, place a silver coin in a container with holy water and place it on the window so that the light from the Moon illuminates it. Having made a secret wish, you should say it over the cup three times. In the morning, on the street, pour out the water and hide the coin in a secret place that no one knows about. The strongest effect is obtained when Epiphany coincides with the full moon.

The ritual of making a wish is also carried out in a different way.

Fill a bowl with Epiphany water and place it on the windowsill. Wait until a slight ripple appears in the cup, and then go outside with it. Holding the cup in your hand and peering into the sky, say your cherished wish out loud 3 times. But if the water in the vessel is motionless, there is no point in making a wish - nothing will come true! Most importantly, don’t think bad things for anyone, otherwise trouble will inevitably happen! Ask sincerely and honestly. In the morning, place holy water behind the icon; it can remain there until the next Epiphany.

Epiphany ritual for beauty and marriage

Epiphany snow has long been considered an indispensable means of increasing female attractiveness. Washing her face with it, the unmarried young lady knew that now she would become even more beautiful and would soon walk down the aisle!

After sunset, on the eve of Epiphany, you need to collect Epiphany snow. To do this, you need to stand in the direction of the north, and very quickly, with both palms without gloves, collect the snow in a small bucket to the top. At the end, throwing the last handful of snow, say out loud: “The heavens are open to the Holy Land, and for me (name) there is a streak of luck. Amen".

Left alone at home, place the container with snow on the table, and place candles bought in the church on three sides around it. Light them up. Take each of them in turn and cross the melting snow with fire: hand palm up, candle held between two fingers - index and middle.

The procedure is as follows: cross the water, cross yourself, and repeat all the time when you read the following curse: “ Just as a white snowball covered the ground on Epiphany evening, so my (name) head will be covered with a wedding veil. My betrothed, in disguise, destined by God and fate, will take her as a wife, and lead her under white hands to the holy altar. I baptize snow for righteousness, and myself for marriage. My word will be strong. My deed will be true and will come true on time. Amen"(three times).

Then sprinkle melt water on your neck, shoulders, and face. Don't wipe! Wait until it dries completely, and pour the remaining water near the threshold of your bedroom and spray it near the bed. At the same time, mentally say: “So be it!”

Candles need to be extinguished clockwise. Before lunch, take the first candle to the church and bring it to the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. Take the rest to the temple to the same icon on the second and third days.

During these three days, be sure to observe the following conditions:

• avoid female guests
• don't lend anything to anyone
• do not pick up a needle and do not sew

And twelve hours after you finish the ritual, take a cool shower.

Epiphany ritual to cleanse the house

As on Christmas, the day before Epiphany, the evening before Epiphany 18 January comes. On this magical evening, everyone has a unique chance to get rid of family conflicts and quarrels, and cleanse the house of accumulated negative energy.

It is for this purpose that our ancestors created rituals to cleanse the house and home. Since ancient times, it was believed that on the night of Epiphany, at exactly midnight, all the water in the house acquires amazing healing and miraculous powers - it becomes holy - and has the power to remove illness and grief.

Take several handfuls of snow into a glass container and bring it into the house, and when it melts, spray all the corners in all rooms, as well as window and doorways. Spray in each place 3 times in a cross pattern. When performing this ritual, move around the apartment clockwise. Then draw small crosses at the top of all window and door openings with chalk. This is especially important to do in rooms where there is a lot of fortune telling on Christmastide.

If you make a sufficient supply of Epiphany water, it can be used to treat various diseases throughout the year. Also, “magic water” will warn you that someone, God forbid, has jinxed or cast a spell on a member of your family - in this case, sediment should appear in the water.

In Dagestan in the last century, there was such a custom of treating the sick: they wrote the names of the people who allegedly sent the disease, and then quietly burned the paper with this name. If during the burning the patient began to scream, then this meant the beginning of recovery.

Rituals and ceremonies for Epiphany

Epiphany water has rare power - in this case, pagan magic is enhanced by faith in church miracles. It is enough to collect life-giving moisture from any consecrated source to get at your disposal a powerful weapon against the evil eye, damage and all kinds of evil spirits. We can say that baptismal rituals are carried out throughout the year - by washing with magic water, people improve their health, heal their nerves and protect themselves from harmful external influences.

However, the night of January 19 itself is filled to the brim with mysticism - a very good time to find out your destiny, attract wealth into your home, and “push” the solution of family problems. Conspiracies and rituals for Epiphany have a long history, but such a remedy must be used with reasonable caution - so as not to harm either yourself or other people.

Do we create love - or do we dream of marriage?

Since the holiday itself still has Christian roots, it would be useful to remember that free will, freedom of choice is God’s main gift to man. Encroaching on this right is a great sin. That is why it is advisable to limit the rituals for Epiphany for love to fortune-telling or use them exclusively to increase natural attractiveness. Love spells (including the so-called “white ones”) are considered a crime against people and the Lord.

It’s great if snow fell the day before - you can use it to carry out rituals on Epiphany night to speed up marriage. Scooping up white flakes in complete darkness (and always with her right hand), an unmarried girl fills a ladle, in which the snow will later turn into melt water. At home, she must be crossed with three burning candles, washed and sprinkled on the floor around the bed. Over the next three days, candles are carried into the church one by one and lit in front of the face of the Virgin Mary.

For wealth and happiness

The holiest, most fabulous night of the year is a wonderful moment to ask higher powers for support in some important matter. Rituals and ceremonies for Epiphany on January 19 can, for example, help in the birth of a child. True, in order to wait for divine intervention, one must (at a minimum) be a true believer. The spouses will have to defend the night service in different Temples, then plunge into a consecrated pond, and in the morning begin the process of conception.

What to do if financial stability is not enough for complete happiness? In this case, rituals for Epiphany (January 19) for money, fulfillment of desires or attracting good luck will help. You need to immerse one silver coin in a bowl of water, and then place the vessel on the windowsill so that it is illuminated by the Moon. Having mentally repeated your request to the higher powers three times, go to bed, and in the morning take out the blessed money - from now on it will become a talisman that must be kept in a secret place.

All rituals and ceremonies performed on January 19 are performed using water, which is endowed with miraculous powers during the festival. The health spell for Epiphany is one of the most powerful prayers for help and healing. Holy water is used by Orthodox people for healing, protection from misfortune and the evil eye, and attracting wealth.

During Epiphany, health conspiracies are often read.

holy festival

Every year, on January 19, Orthodox laity celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord. The day preceding is called Epiphany Eve, the eve of Epiphany. The second name of the festival is Hungry Kutia. The name comes from the tradition of not eating from the evening of January 18 until the next day, until the water is blessed.

Christmastide is considered the most fertile day for carrying out all kinds of fortune-telling and rituals, when you can find out your destiny, bewitch your betrothed or tell fortunes for the future.

On January 19, you should visit the temple, pray for health and prosperity, and bless the water. After the morning service, all people go to swim in the ice hole and treat each other to pastries, pancakes and pies.

Blessed water on Epiphany should be used for washing so as not to get sick throughout the year. The whole family should also drink it on an empty stomach to protect themselves from the evil eye and damage.

Health spells for Epiphany

Conspiracies for Epiphany water for health should be read with pure thoughts, sincerely, then the energy of the celebration will work. Holy water must be stored correctly, then it will bring even more benefits.

• Water must be drawn from a clean well.
• It should be stored in glass, in a place protected from sunlight.
• The remaining water cannot just be thrown away; it is better to use it for watering home flowers. First add ordinary holy water to it.

Water consecrated on the great feast of Epiphany retains its qualities for 1-1.5 years and has strong positive energy, so it is recommended to periodically wash and apply the liquid to the wounds.

To your health

This ritual should be carried out independently. At the morning service in honor of the celebration, a person should read the words of the prayer:

“Help me, Lord All-Merciful, I am a sinner. My strength is running out, I pray for forgiveness and repentance. Heal my illnesses, help me get rid of the hardships of everyday life. The gates of heaven are opened by angels, I ask for protection from disease and hatred. Amen".

At the end of the ceremony, you should wash your face and hands with holy water. The plot protects against diseases for a long time.

For harmony of soul and body

Early in the morning, visit the temple to pray and bless the water, then go to the font, go into the water up to your chest and quickly plunge your head three times. After leaving the ice hole, you should dry yourself with a towel, then drink three sips of holy water and mentally say: “I drink water, I find spiritual harmony.”

The ritual can be performed in another way:

• At night, fill the bath with water and dilute it with blessed water;
• be sure to wear your cross before and during the ritual;
• first wash your face, hands and neck, and then completely immerse yourself in water, where you should lie down for 15 minutes;
• There is no need to wipe the water from the body; wait for the skin to dry naturally.

For children's health

A special health spell is read for children:

“My golden baby, may the Lord not test you with the torments of life. Lord, send my child good health, happiness and good luck. Amen".

Read the Lord's Prayer three times and give the child holy water to drink. To prevent your baby from getting sick and having bad dreams, you should sprinkle his bed and pillow with holy water, and you should read the “Our Father.” This ritual must be performed at night for a week.

Epiphany spells for children's health are especially effective

Slanders on Epiphany water

On the holiday of baptism, people always try to charm holy water for health and good luck in business. The ritual is carried out after the service and the lighting of the water by the priest. At home, they pour it into a glass vessel, read the “Our Father” three times and pronounce the words: “Holy water cleanses the soul and body, protects the whole family from illness. If I wash myself with water, I will gain good luck; if I wash my hands, I will take money into the house. Amen".

Another spell for Epiphany water for health should be read early in the morning, January 19th. For the ritual, you will need to collect a jug of clean, well water, which is placed on the windowsill in the brightest bedroom, and then the following words are said: “The resinous water stands on the window, saturated with sunlight. Just as the rays of the sun shine, so life will be bright, like the blue surface of the sky, so health will be in full swing. Amen".

The next day, the whole family should drink life-giving water from a jug and read the prayer “For health and salvation” to themselves.

Water for the spell should be taken after the service.

How to swim in an ice hole correctly?

Bathing is an ancient tradition. It gives a person spiritual and physical strength, and also relieves all diseases for a whole year. Today, diving into an ice hole has a slightly different meaning. Previously, people turned to this rite to cleanse the soul from sins, but now this rite has become a source of health and spiritual saturation.

There are no special rules for performing this custom at Epiphany. As a rule, they plunge their heads three times. At the same time, the body experiences enormous stress, body temperature rises, swelling decreases and pain decreases.

According to tradition, swimming is carried out in places specially equipped for this purpose, accompanied by rescuers and ambulances. Before the ice hole, you can do a little exercise to get your body used to the low temperature. You can take the plunge with your head, but if you feel a spasm, you shouldn’t do it again. And immediately after finishing the procedure, you need to dry yourself with a warm towel, put on dry clothes and drink hot tea.
