Crossings do not wear off, they do not choose the principle of "the more - the more cooler," practically do not remove. If you have not yet decided on your religious feelings, if you did not imbued with faith and are not convinced that they are ready to take Christian dogmas, maybe not worth wearing a cross. Only when feelings are sincere, conscious, it is worth putting the cross.
Is the gift approved?
Gifts with religious subtext are always perceived more seriously than any trinkets or expensive things, but without any sacred meanings. And this can be understood: a religious gift is not so much about beauty and utility, it is about involvement in religion to which you are trying to get closer. Wearing the cross ideally every Christian should be. This is a symbol of faith, in a sense of the charm, which objectively reflects the feelings of the believer, the dedication of the Christian religion.
According to the tradition of men who are chosen to the role of the godfather, they give their godly a symbol of faith - a native cross.
If the mother and dad consciously reacted to the choice of the godfather, if they are confident in these people, then such a gift will be made from the soul, with good thoughts and intentions. You can give crossbars on the day of christening, but you need to make sure that they are already consecrated.
Interestingly, the godparents can do such a gift once. As the child grows, it is possible to replace a simple cross-piece product, for example, from precious metal. It is normal, acceptable, and get the second time such a birthday present or another holiday.
Signs
Signs that are associated with donation are not always intersecting with the Christian faith. It does not accept superstitions and speculations that go from the evil or just from ignorance. Again, some signs are associated with Esoteric, and whether they are based on them - the case of everyone.
There is a judgment: if you take a cross from a man with a bad fate - his fate will become part of yours.
But it is easy to criticize. Of course, if someone has taken off his cross and handed you, this gift with a big stretch can be called relevant. Even those who will adopt against any, it may seem at least unclean. There are other well-known signs.
- The metal object saves human energy, so even the one who just held it in his hands, gives him a part of his energy. Such statements are controversial. According to him, a person with a bad energy, even just touched by the handrail of a metal trolley in the store, transmits you completely randomly his energy, and maybe fate. If you believe in it, in the faith of your more paranoid, rather than common sense.
- If the crossed child buys a godfather, he gives him his destiny. Just think if you met such stories in life. Remember your godfather and analyze whether your destinies are similar. Conclusions will come themselves.
Suffice it to say that the servants of the Church categorically relate to prejudices. There should not be a cross, a pure symbol of faith, a dispute, superstition, will take.
On the holidays
The forums often appear the question whether the wife will be given to his beloved husband for the birthday of a cross. However, it is completely incomprehensible why he causes so many disputes. Yes, well, if the gift of the cross falls on large religious holidays, but not necessarily everything should be so perfectly coincided.
If a man believes, but his cross is lost or he didn't wear him for a long time, his wife could give a cross with her husband. The main thing is to do this with good thoughts, buy consecrated crossbars and not evaluate the goods by its size.
A native cross does not need to be placed in sight. If you are not a clergyman, but an ordinary parishioner, you should not show the cross, wearing it over your shirt, T-shirts. If you bring a cross from some journey through the holy places and know that a person close to you just like to acquire a cross, it will be a decent gift.
You can give a christmas cross for Christmas, make such a gift on the eve of Easter is also good. Another important point: It is impossible to demand from the godded parents so that they bought besides the crossed and the chain. This is an excess: a small child she has nothing to do.
From someone else's body
More than once there were cases when the cross removed the person and passed to another. This situation requires a delicate consideration. Probably you read about how maternal crosses helped sons in battle. Perhaps they rescued them faith, luck, intuition, but deny that they endowed the material subject with special properties, and it helped them, it is impossible.
That's why, If you are ready to take a cross, which wearing another person, there must be a very good argument . We can say that you must believe and trust this person you must unconditionally.
In most cases, try not to do this. And the wrong thing is that someone else's destiny will become yours. If you are a person subject to change, then you will be called the thought that you "tried out" someone's fate. Hence the invalid associations, suspicions, fears and anxiety. Therefore, each must have a cross, because the expression "everyone carries his cross" is not accidental.
From whom can not be taken?
It also happens that a person cannot refuse to accept a gift: he is shy, afraid to offend.
But do not be afraid to say "no" in the situation that you are unpleasant.
In some cases, you should not take a cross as a gift.
- From a unconscious man. This is in principle inappropriate, and you can tell him that the cross is too significant for you, and you can not accept her as a gift.
- From an unbeliever person. If for someone a cross is nothing more than an accessory, and he gives you it without any Christian promise, give up such a gift.
- From a person who does it with selfish goal . Cross can only be given with good thoughts, from a pure heart.
Finally, only idle, ignorant people give a cross without any warning. A symbolic gift, special, and its donation should always be coordinated with man. This is not the case when the surprise will work outwardly.
Going away, for example, on a trip to Jerusalem, ask your loved ones that they will be brought from there. And if a cross will be in the list of gifts, you buy it without any oscillations.
The theme of the darment of the cross is not categorical, and extrusion from generally accepted cases is possible. If you exchange crosses with a friend to become spiritual brothers (which once practiced from the Slavs), you follow your intuition, my decision. If it does not cause doubt, there is no such document or rule that will prevent you from doing this.
Faith is not about symbols, items, clear rules, which are sinner to deviate. The cross does not make you a Christian, but respect for him always honors.
