It so happens that what we cannot explain from our own direct knowledge, we tend to instantly give in to social and cultural stereotypes, the role of which is often played by religious beliefs. BUT modern science in the overwhelming majority of cases, it simply denies all the principles or methods of cognition that are unusual for it, instead of integrating the best of them into its system. Therefore, a confrontation between scientific and religious knowledge constantly arises in society instead of an attempt to find a common ground and finally begin cooperation.

Unique studies of Epiphany water taken from the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, conducted several years ago at the Moscow Institute of Information and Wave Technologies, showed that the frequency spectrum of the radiation of Epiphany water is similar to electromagnetic radiation healthy human organs! That is, it turned out that in the baptismal church water there is a certain information program in the form of an ordered set of healthy frequencies. human body!

In Tyumen, a group of enthusiastic researchers has also been conducting research for 5 years (for 2011) related to the study of changes in the structural properties of water on Epiphany, January 19, and their impact on humans. If a healing properties Epiphany water in the church is known to everyone, then few people know that ordinary tap water in Epiphany night can also become bioactive and then retain its special qualities not only for a whole year, but for much longer.

It turns out that tap water annually on January 19 changes its structure many times over a day and a half. Conducted studies included measurements of the water biofield, acid-base balance, hydrogen potential, specific electrical conductivity, as well as the result of its impact on a person during internal and external use (by gas discharge visualization, dowsing, laboratory studies). To do this, starting from the evening of January 18, samples of the water flowing from the tap were taken at short intervals and measurements were taken. For control, the samples were stored for a long time.

Data received various methods, talking about positive influence Epiphany tap water on human health. An increase of tens and hundreds of times in the human biofield was recorded, as well as an improvement in its physical and energy indicators when using Epiphany tap water as drinking and externally. This improves immunity and improves health, enhances the natural protection of a person from pathogenic radiation. environment. Theoretically, it can be assumed that the essence of Epiphany water is to cleanse the body of harmful pathogenic and toxic formations.

For several years, a group of Tyumen researchers established two peaks of water bioactivity during January 19: around two in the morning and at twelve in the afternoon. Moreover, they coincide with the highest indicators of the electrical conductivity of water, which also constantly changes during the day, during the entire period of the phenomenon under study, tap water always remains bioactive, but to a greater or lesser extent. According to various sources, on January 19, the structure of all water on Earth changes, since this is a planetary, cyclical phenomenon. And it does not matter whether this water is poured from a tap, poured into a teapot, a bottle, a jar, or it is in a river, sea, in snow, etc. But already on January 20, she returns to her usual structural state.

It has been established that all water samples taken at Epiphany subsequently have improved physical and chemical parameters and an increased biofield, which are different from tap water on ordinary days. But only the water that was collected by a person from a tap at about two o'clock in the morning on January 19, subsequently retains maximum bioactivity, acquiring new properties. In addition, studies have shown that it is this baptismal tap water that does not lose its properties when it is repeatedly mixed and diluted, just like the one taken from the church. All the rest of the water returns to its usual structural state the very next day.

Thus, as the researchers say, every year, starting from fifteen minutes into the first night of January 19, a person during the day at any time can consciously draw water from the tap for subsequent storage and use as bioactive throughout the year. And if he still wants to get the most bioactive baptismal effect without leaving home and not swimming in the frost in the hole, then you need to wait at least half past two in the morning and in the next half hour you can calmly wash yourself, take a shower or bath from tap baptismal water, without even leaving the house, or just a little drink of this unusual tap water. The results of biolocation studies show that it immediately affects the body, raises the size of the human biofield by tens and hundreds of times, energizes, that is, it has a healing effect.

The Research Institute of Nuclear Physics at Moscow State University, engaged in the study of neutron fluxes from space and from the Earth, for a number of years recorded intense bursts of neutron flux exceeding background levels by 100-200 times. There was no hard binding to January 19: the highs fell on both the 18th and 17th, but sometimes exactly on the 19th.

Unique studies of Epiphany water taken from the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, conducted several years ago at the Moscow Institute of Information and Wave Technologies, showed that the frequency spectrum of the radiation of Epiphany water is similar to the electromagnetic radiation of healthy human organs. That is, it turned out that in the baptismal church water there is a certain information program in the form of an ordered set of healthy frequencies of the human body.

If the healing properties of baptismal water in the church are known to everyone, then few people know that ordinary tap water on Epiphany night can also become bioactive and then retain their special qualities not only for a whole year, but for much longer. It turns out that tap water annually on January 19 changes its structure many times over a day and a half. Conducted studies included measurements of the water biofield, acid-base balance, hydrogen potential, specific electrical conductivity, as well as the result of its impact on a person during internal and external use (by gas discharge visualization, dowsing, laboratory studies). To do this, starting from the evening of January 18, samples of the water flowing from the tap were taken at short intervals and measurements were taken. For control, the samples were stored for a long time.

Specialists of the laboratory of drinking water supply of the Institute. Sysina also conducted a serious scientific study. As Candidate of Technical Sciences Anatoly STEKHIN said, the main task was to fix the phase of the transition of water to an unusual state, for this they began to observe the water from January 15. The water collected from the tap was defended and the amount of radical ions in it was measured.

During the study, the number of radical ions in the water has been creeping up since January 17th. Along with this, the water became softer, its hydrogen index (pH level) increased, which made the liquid less acidic. The water reached its peak of activity on January 18, in the evening. because of a large number radical ions, its electrical conductivity was really like that of an artificially created catholyte (water saturated with electrons). At the same time, the pH of water jumped over neutral (7 pH) by 1.5 points.

The degree of structuredness of Epiphany water was also studied. The researchers froze several samples - from the tap, from a church source, from the Moscow River. So, even tap water, which is usually far from ideal, when frozen, was a harmonious spectacle under the microscope. The curve of the electromagnetic activity of water began to decline already in the morning of January 19 and by the 20th took its usual form.

Scientists believe that the reason for such a sharp increase in the electromagnetic activity of water in Epiphany was a large accumulation of radical ions in the Earth's lithosphere. On ordinary days, the amount of energy in the water varies depending on the time of day. From 7 pm to 9 am, the water is most active (but not to the same extent as Epiphany). Exactly this good time in order to wash and make supplies for household needs. When the sun rises, a large number of radical ions “fly away” from the water to the upper atmosphere. Such channels through which energy “escapes” from us are all vortex processes in the atmosphere. It is not for nothing that during the activity of cyclones, many people feel worse. We simply do not have enough water electromagnetic energy. But the most extreme phenomenon that literally devastates the Earth energetically is an earthquake.

As for the three Epiphany days- this, according to Stekhin, is an “anomalous” period when an anticyclone always dominates the Earth. And electrons, obeying some kind of cosmic influence, quietly “sit” in the lithosphere and water and saturate us with healing powers. The only explanation for this can be a special redistribution of the poles magnetic field that exists between the Sun and the Earth. Exactly space forces and hold energy on Earth in Baptism.

Doctor of Sciences, Professor of the Faculty of Biology of Moscow State University Vladimir VOEIKOV believes that all kinds of magnetic and neutron storms affect water. In particular, scientists have proven that the properties of water greatly change solar eclipse. And everywhere, regardless of the degree of blackout in one part or another the globe. As for the processes that affect the water in Baptism, they have not yet been fully studied. It is possible that during this period the restructuring of interplanetary magnetic fields really takes place and the electrons of water are somehow “magnetized” to the Earth. But this is just a hypothesis.

Phenomenon Bogoyavlenskaya water not fully understood, and researchers do not seem to be able to unravel its secret soon. Epiphany water did not pass Scientific research to which they are subjected medicines, and there are no medical conclusions about the properties of baptismal water yet. But there is a centuries-old experience of a huge number of people. And, probably, it is not so important what heals - water or a person’s firm belief that it will help him.

It's believed that water collected at Epiphany midnight from any source (even from the tap), has healing properties. talking modern language, Epiphany water is structured. If such water is kept away from human eyes and empty talk - in a quiet and dark place- (believers keep it at the home iconostasis), then it retains its healing properties all year round.

Researchers believe that every year, starting from fifteen minutes past midnight on January 19, a person can draw water from a tap at any time during the day for subsequent storage and use as bioactive throughout the year.

In order to get the most bioactive baptismal effect without leaving home and without swimming in the frost in the hole, you need to wait for half past one in the night and wash your face in the next half hour, take a shower or bath from the tap water of the Epiphany, drink a little of this unusual water from the tap. Research results dowsing method show that it immediately affects the body, raises the size of the human biofield by tens and hundreds of times, energizes and has a healing effect.

Epiphany water, which is brought into the house on the Eve of Epiphany and at Epiphany, is considered special. It does not deteriorate for several years, retaining its structure. This water is used to heal and sprinkle the dwelling with it. Epiphany water also helps in many other cases. Baptism in 2019 will be soon, on the night of January 18-19. Let's find out in more detail what needs to be done for Baptism, where and how to draw water and how much it can be stored. And on this night.

The history of Epiphany water

Baptism is celebrated by Orthodox Christians on January 19 and is considered one of the great church holidays, established in memory of the day when Jesus Christ came to the Jordan River to John the Baptist to be baptized by him. A special feature of the holiday are two great blessings of water. One is performed on Christmas Eve (the evening before Epiphany) in the church.

Another is held on the day of the holiday in the open air, if possible - at the source of water (rivers, lakes, springs, springs). At the same time, if the water is frozen, an ice hole is hollowed out in advance. According to the church charter, this rite is accompanied by the reading of prayers and the threefold immersion of the cross in the consecrated water, after which it is endowed with a special healing power. The word "I baptize" or "I baptize" from the Greek "baptiso" means "immerse".

This great Christian holiday has a double name, the Baptism of the Lord is also called Epiphany. Because at the Baptism of the Lord, the main event was the appearance Holy Trinity. God the Father testifies from heaven: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

God the Son is baptized according to His human nature; The Holy Spirit descends on Him in the form of a dove. This affirms faith in the Divine Trinity and faith in the Divinity of Jesus Christ.

Epiphany Christmas Eve - traditions and rituals

So, in the villages before Epiphany, old women and girls collected snow from haystacks.
Old women - in order to bleach the canvas, it was believed that only this snow could make it snow-white.

And girls - in order to whiten the skin and become more beautiful. It was believed that, having washed herself with this snow, the girl becomes very attractive. In addition, according to legend, Epiphany snow could even store water in dry wells for the whole year.

The snow collected on the Epiphany evening was considered healing, they were treated for various ailments.

A bowl of water was placed on the table to see the Baptism of the Lord. At the same time, they said: “at night the water itself sways”, - this was a sign. If at midnight the water in the bowl really swayed, they ran to look at the “open skies” - what you pray to the open sky for will come true.

Until the 5th century, it was customary to remember the birth and baptism of the Son of God on the same day - January 6, and this holiday was called Theophany - Epiphany, which spoke of the incarnation of Christ into the world and the appearance of the Trinity in the waters of the Jordan. The feast of the Nativity of Christ was moved to December 25 (according to the Julian calendar, or old style) was already later, in the 5th century.

Thus was the beginning of a new church phenomenon - Christmas time, ending with the eve, or Christmas Eve of the feast of Epiphany.

The word eve means the eve of a church celebration, and the second name - Christmas Eve (or Sochevnik) is associated with the tradition on this day to cook wheat broth with honey and raisins - sochivo.

Epiphany Christmas Eve is an evening of preparation before the big Orthodox holiday which is called Epiphany Lord's Baptism. This festival Orthodox Church, is one of the twelve. On this day, the baptism of Jesus Christ by John the Baptist (the Baptist) in the Jordan River is remembered.

In view of the importance of the event that took place on the coming day in the life of Jesus Christ, the Church established a fast. It was from here that the tradition of brewing sochivo came, which is not mandatory, but is so convenient that it has become a tradition everywhere.

Of course, not everyone has such an opportunity these days, but it is still necessary to observe fasting: “Because we nourish us with God’s Grace, we will be freed from covetousness,” the Typikon tells us. Covetousness is understood to mean everything that is eaten in excess of need, and let everyone's conscience be the measure here.

Believers determine the measure of fasting individually, according to the strength and blessing of the confessor. On this day, as on Christmas Eve, they do not eat food until the candle is taken out after the Liturgy in the morning and the first communion of Epiphany water.

Properties of baptismal water and how to drink it

She eats on an empty stomach, a spoonful, a little bit. A man got up, crossed himself, asked for a blessing from the Lord for the day that had begun, washed himself, prayed and took a great hagiasma. If the medicine is prescribed on an empty stomach, then first they take holy water, and then the medicine.

And then breakfast and stuff. Ascetics of Christian piety call blessed water the best medicine from all spiritual and bodily ailments. Often confessors "prescribe" baptismal water to their sick children - a spoonful every hour, with faith, of course, but without faith, drink at least half a canister. She can wash the patient and sprinkle the bed. True, women in critical days accepting baptismal water is not blessed.

But this is if the woman is otherwise healthy. And if she is sick, then even this circumstance does not play a role. Epiphany water will help her!

There is a pious tradition to sprinkle on this day Epiphany water his dwelling with the singing of the troparion of the Epiphany. Epiphany water is consumed all year on an empty stomach in small quantities, usually together with a piece of prosphora "so that we can receive power that strengthens health, heals diseases, drives away demons and averts all enemy slander, we could receive from God."

At the same time, a prayer is read:

“Lord my God, may Your holy gift and Your holy water be for the remission of my sins, for the enlightenment of my mind, for the strengthening of my spiritual and bodily strength, for the health of my soul and body, for the subjugation of my passions and infirmities through Your infinite mercy through prayers Your Most Pure Mother and all Your saints. Amen".

In case of ailments or attacks by evil forces, you can and should drink water without hesitation at any time.

Is it necessary to add baptismal water to the bath in which babies are bathed so that they do not get sick

This is also one of the superstitions. Every person can get sick. And the great saints suffered from physical illnesses. For example, the Monk Seraphim of Sarov could not straighten his back due to an injury. Robbers attacked him and severely beat him.

Saint Matrona of Moscow was blind from birth to the end of her days. No one forbids giving holy baptismal water to babies (it is still better to drink holy water), including during illness. But once again, it must be recalled that the use of a shrine is not a mechanism, but an action that requires faith and hope.

How to take a bath for baptism

On this night, douse yourself with baptismal water three times or take a bath. Between 0:10 and 1:30 fill the tub cold water from the tap. Cross the water and yourself three times, read a prayer and bang your fist right hand on the chest three times to cause the body to vibrate in harmony with the vibrations of the water.

Then, without screaming or making noise, sit in the bath and plunge headlong three times, hitting your chest each time.
Silently get out of the bath (if someone else from your household wants to bathe in baptismal water, fill the bath new water).

Do not dry off immediately, let the water soak into the skin. At this time, do a self-massage or vigorously tap your fingers all over your body from the top of your head to your heels. Then put on warm clothes, underwear, socks, everything is new and already washed and ironed. Drink herbal tea with honey.

Is it possible to dilute baptismal water

A special property of holy water is that, added even in a small amount to ordinary water, it imparts beneficial properties to it, therefore, in case of a shortage of holy water, it can be diluted with plain water.

It is believed that holy water does not spoil, so it is not necessary to put it in the refrigerator. The Orthodox keep it in the Red Corner, next to the icons. In addition, a drop of shrine sanctifies the sea. You can take ordinary, not consecrated water and add a drop of baptismal water there, and it will all be consecrated.

It is strictly forbidden, taking holy water or taking it, to quarrel, swear, and allow unpious deeds or thoughts. From this, holy water loses its holiness, and often simply spills.

We must not forget that blessed water is a church shrine with which the grace of God has come into contact, and which requires a reverent attitude towards itself. With a reverent attitude, holy water does not deteriorate for many years. It should be stored in separate place, better near with home iconostasis.

When to collect baptismal water

You can take water in the temple after the service, you can also bring your own water for consecration, but remember that it should be ordinary pure water, and not mineral and not carbonated.

If you decide to just draw water from the tap, then you need to do this in the time interval from 00.10. until 01.30. on the night of January 18th to 19th. You can harvest water later, but this time is considered the best.

Unfortunately, most of our people have a purely superstitious attitude towards baptismal water. They collect water as a medicine and then try to be treated with it.

• Firstly, it is better to collect water not thoughtlessly, but after you take part in church service.
• Secondly, you need to pour it into dishes without any markings. Better - in a special jug or flask, bought in a church shop. And certainly not in a beer bottle!

It is believed that baptismal water has healing properties. It can be drunk with an illness on an empty stomach and washed to be healthy.

True, you need to use holy water with prayer, asking the Almighty for spiritual and physical health. And it is not at all necessary to take it in reserve, in canisters. There should not be much water, but faith.

Where to get Epiphany water

It is believed that water collected at Epiphany midnight from any source (even from the tap) has healing properties. In modern terms, Epiphany water is structured. If such water is kept away from human eyes and empty conversations - in a quiet and dark place - (believers keep it at the home iconostasis), then it retains its healing properties all year round.

Researchers believe that every year, starting from fifteen minutes past midnight on January 19, a person can draw water from a tap at any time during the day for subsequent storage and use as bioactive throughout the year.

How long is baptismal water stored

Epiphany water stored in glassware can be used throughout the year and even. This is a very strong energy water, so drinking it all the time is not recommended. But to take it as a medicine, if you are unwell, add it to the bath (from one teaspoon to one glass per bath), rinse your mouth, wash your face, sprinkle your face, eyes, the whole body - it is very useful.

Reminder: no need to wipe. To cleanse the dwelling, they sprinkle baptismal water in the corners of the rooms, and then pour a small part of the water into a glass vessel without closing the lid and leave it in the room.

Do not leave shoes outside the threshold on Epiphany night, otherwise you will get sick.

If there are problems in the house, draw water at night, leave it at the doorstep in open form, and in the morning, wipe the shoes of each family member with this water. Then pour water into the latrine with the words:
« Evil spirit underground, kind to the earth.

Epiphany water - scientific facts

Studies have shown that the optical density of Epiphany water is higher than water from the same sources on ordinary days. Moreover, it is close to the optical density of water from the Jordan River. Some scientists explain the healing properties of Epiphany water by the peculiarities of the Earth's magnetic field. On this day, it deviates from the norm and all the water on the planet is magnetized. What causes these changes is not yet fully understood.

Professor Anton Belsky, a Russian experimental physicist, once, on the night of January 19, took water samples in plastic bottles from a nearby pond. They stood in his laboratory for many years. The water in them remained clear, odorless and sediment. At one of the scientific conferences, he told about this experiment to a familiar professor from the Research Institute of Nuclear Physics at Moscow State University, who was engaged in the study of neutron fluxes from space and from the Earth.

He promised to look at his experimental data for last years. Soon A. Belsky received e-mail very interesting information. According to him, before January 19 whole line years, intense bursts of neutron flux were recorded, exceeding the background levels by 100-200 times. There was no hard binding to January 19: the highs fell on both the 18th and 17th, but sometimes exactly on the 19th.

Unique studies of Epiphany water taken from the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, conducted several years ago at the Moscow Institute of Information and Wave Technologies, showed that the frequency spectrum of the radiation of Epiphany water is similar to the electromagnetic radiation of healthy human organs. That is, it turned out that in the baptismal church water there is a certain information program in the form of an ordered set of healthy frequencies of the human body.

If the healing properties of baptismal water in the church are known to everyone, then few people know that ordinary tap water on Epiphany night can also become bioactive and then retain its special qualities not only for a whole year, but much longer.

It turns out that tap water annually on January 19 changes its structure many times over a day and a half.

Conducted studies included measurements of the water biofield, acid-base balance, hydrogen potential, specific electrical conductivity, as well as the result of its impact on a person during internal and external use (by gas discharge visualization, dowsing, laboratory studies).

To do this, starting from the evening of January 18, samples of the water flowing from the tap were taken at short intervals and measurements were taken. For control, the samples were stored for a long time.

Specialists of the laboratory of drinking water supply of the Institute. Sysina also conducted a serious scientific study.

The phenomenon of the Epiphany water has not been fully studied, and researchers, it seems, will not soon be able to unravel its secret. Epiphany water has not undergone scientific research, which is subjected to medicines, and there are no medical conclusions about the properties of Epiphany water yet. But there is a centuries-old experience of a huge number of people. And, probably, it is not so important what heals - water or a person’s firm belief that it will help him

Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Mikhail Kurik

Every year on January 19, people line up near churches to get Epiphany water, and the bravest rush to swim in the hole. After all, it has long been believed that this water is healing. The clergy are convinced of this, and simple people. And more recently, scientists!

Physicists and chemists in different countries conducted experiments and found out: the structure of holy baptismal water is many times more harmonious than on an ordinary day, and its energy and beneficial features are simply unique.

Ukrainian experiments on volunteers

Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Mikhail Kurik has been conducting his research on Epiphany water at the Institute of Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine for about 9 years. In the laboratory of a scientist - dozens of bottles of water, dated late December-January different years. Epiphany water long years remains clear, odorless and almost free of sediment.

- As a scientist, I was primarily interested in the fact itself - what, from the point of view of physics, is Epiphany water. Patriarch Filaret blessed our research, specially allocated a hieromonk, a graduate student of the Theological Academy, to help, and we plunged into work, - Mikhail Vasilyevich tells BLIK.

One of the experiments was carried out for five years on several volunteers, with the participation of Viktor Zhukov, an employee of the Institute of Human Ecology. The experimental subjects drank 150 ml of water in small sips, and after 30 minutes, using the method of electropuncture diagnostics, the state of their body was measured. For the experiment, water samples were taken from the same church well. One water sample was taken in December - early January; the other on the morning of January 19th.

- In experiments with water collected from a church well in late December - early January, no effect on the subject's body was found, - says Mikhail Vasilyevich. – The electrical conductivity values ​​did not differ in any way before and after the subject drank water. And here is the action drinking water, collected on January 19 from the same church well, always made itself felt with a spasmodic effect - a sharp increase in bioenergetic activity in all subjects. We came to the conclusion that Epiphany water improves and evens out the circulation of energy, enhances a person’s energy, which has a beneficial effect on a person’s health, unblocks “stuck” energy.

Perfect Crystals

What happens to water on a physical level? You probably know that frozen water has a crystalline structure. So, the scientists took various water frozen and viewed under a microscope. Tap water crystals looked like ugly monsters, water from an ordinary river or lake looked almost the same. But the crystals of the water over which prayers were read, and especially the baptismal holy water, are symmetrical crystals of ideal shape. And she conveys her harmony to people who drink it or plunge into the Epiphany hole.

By the way, the famous Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto came to the conclusion that any water "hears", perceives and absorbs information: if it plays music, speaks good words, read prayers, then its structure becomes more harmonious and cleaner.

Ukrainian scientist Mikhail Kurik also studied water not only from church sources, but also from lakes, ordinary bottled, tap water.

- All our experiments have shown that any water collected on the morning of January 19 is subject to the "Epiphany" phenomenon - that is, it has increased energy.

And the specialists of the laboratory of drinking water supply of the Moscow Institute. Sysina began to observe the water from January 15th. The water collected from the tap was defended, and then the amount of radical ions in it was measured. In the course of the study, the number of radical ions in water has been creeping up since January 17th. At the same time, the water became softer, its pH increased, which made the liquid less acidic. The water reached its peak of activity on January 18, in the evening. Due to the large number of radical ions, its electrical conductivity was really like that of water saturated with electrons. At the same time, the pH of the water jumped over the neutral one by 1.5 points. The researchers also studied the degree of structure of Epiphany water. They froze several samples - from the tap, from the church spring, from the river. So, even the water from the tap, which is usually far from ideal, when frozen, was a harmonious spectacle under the microscope. The curve of the electromagnetic activity of water began to decline already in the morning of January 19 and by 20 took its usual form.

Water "charges" space

To understand why it is on Epiphany that water becomes bioactive, scientist Mikhail Kurik decided to go further. He began to collect water samples from December 22 - the day of the winter solstice, in order to more accurately trace why and how the water changes its structure on January 18-19.

And he came to the conclusion that the properties of water are affected energy fields Earth, Moon, Sun, fields of the planets of the solar system, various cosmic radiations.

“Everything is explained by the laws of nature,” says Mikhail Vasilyevich. – Every year on January 19, the Earth, together with solar system in Space it passes through the rays of special radiation, as a result of which all life on Earth comes to life, including the increase in the bioenergetics of all the waters of the Earth. It is on January 18–19 that water receives additional energy due to changes in the gravitational field in galactic space. What for? Everything is simple! After all, spring is approaching, and all living things need energy to be born again.

But according to the results of research by the Russian physicist Anton Belsky, in space before January 19, for a number of years, intense bursts of the neutron flux were recorded, exceeding background levels by 100-200 times. The highs were on both the 18th and 17th, but sometimes exactly on the 19th.

The energy channel structures the water

Astrologers also adhere to the "cosmic" theory of the origin of baptismal water.

- On this day, the water becomes clean, carries a charge of holiness and rejuvenation. And it's not just like that, - says Pavel Mikhlin, candidate of technical sciences, astrologer.

It is believed that the Sun, the Earth, the center of the galaxy are located in such a way that on January 18-19 a communication line between our planet and the center of the galaxy opens, everything begins to interact. The Earth falls under an energy channel that structures everything, including water on Earth. In addition, there are usually frosts at Epiphany, and the frozen water absorbs and “preserves” positive energy during worship and prayers. And during the consecration, people themselves charge the water with their positive energy, because they really believe that the water should become healing, sanctified.

By the way

Many people ask: they say, if a person is 70% water, can our bodies be cleansed of everything bad on Epiphany night and immediately be cured of all diseases? But no, it's impossible, the churchmen say.

“There is nothing automatic in religion. A person consists not only of water and protein - the body, it also has a soul, - says Abbot Eustratius. “And it’s not easy to cleanse the soul. You can even lie in holy water all day long, you won’t become a saint. To cleanse the soul, you need to live righteously and pray. And holy water is just a blessing for that.

How to use holy water

Often we ourselves do not know how to use holy water, although we collect it in the church literally in liters. But it is not necessary to do so. Abbot Yevstratiy, press secretary of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate, told BLIK about these subtleties and some secrets.

They drink holy water during illness and every day on an empty stomach a little - 60-100 grams.

Store it in glass vessel near the icons, so that the light does not fall.

You can enhance the effect of water by reading a prayer over it, for example - "In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit."

Holy water cannot be used for domestic purposes - to wash dishes, make tea, cook something, and even take a bath from it. After all, it is impossible for her to go to stock.

It is not necessary to take the consecrated "temple" water, you can bring your own for consecration - even tap water.

It is advisable to take clean and high-quality water for consecration, because physical dirt will not go anywhere.

Consecrated water can be diluted with ordinary water, such water acquires the qualities of a saint. Don't bring fizzy drinks mineral water, it is better to take the usual.

Epiphany water can be sprinkled on a dwelling.

The water stood for three years

Usually baptismal water is stored for a year until next Baptism. But few people know that such water can stand for longer - and three, and even ten years.

“My Epiphany water stood for three years - and did not deteriorate, did not bloom,” says Father Varsonofy, treasurer of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. “I got it from our holy well of Anthony. After I drank it, I felt a surge of strength and a blessing all day long. I know that scientists came and even collected water for experiments from the source of St. Anthony. After all, studies have shown that the optical density of baptismal water is higher than water from the same sources on ordinary days. Moreover, it is close to the optical density of water from the Jordan River.

But hegumen Yevstratiy, press secretary of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate, told BLIK that he knows a case when Epiphany water stood for 10 years and did not deteriorate!

Epiphany magic will preserve beauty and fulfill wishes

The main thing is to remember the dream

Everyone knows about baptismal divination. But also ordinary dreams on the night of Epiphany - these are "letters from the future." Before falling asleep, you need to ask a question about your fate, which interests you the most. unmarried girls in the old days they put a comb under the pillow or king of diamonds and asked to dream of the betrothed. The evening before, spend as calmly as possible, go to bed early, and wake up on the morning of the 19th not at the wake of the alarm clock. In this case, it is more likely to see a prophetic dream and not forget it right there. They say that a dream will be brighter and better remembered if you eat something salty at night, but do not drink water. Put a pen and a notepad next to the bed, and when you wake up, immediately write down the dream or tell someone right away - this way you are more likely to remember.

most cherished

It is believed that the night from the 18th to the 19th is the ideal time for making the most secret desires. It is believed that the sky at this time hears best what people ask for, and requests are fulfilled. Only one main condition: you need to make wishes with a pure soul. And only good ones! Before asking for something for yourself or your loved ones, it is better to first, at least mentally, ask for forgiveness from those whom you have hurt for a year, and whom, even reluctantly, have harmed. And also - thank God for all the good things in life. And only after that, with an open heart, make wishes. How? Yes, even just going out on the balcony and looking at the sky! You can write 12 wish notes, put under the pillow. And when you wake up in the morning, pull out three of them. They will definitely come true.

Wrinkle free all year round

And here is a tip for ladies who want to keep their youth for a long time. Early in the morning on December 19, pour Epiphany water into a bowl and look at your reflection. You need to examine yourself very carefully, noticing wrinkles and flaws, after which you wash your face three times with your hands. Water the flowers with the rest of the water. The effect will increase if the water is from the river, where the woman herself goes for it early in the morning.

Read a book about baptismal water:

January 19 is one of the most ancient and revered in the Orthodox Christian Church holidays - the Baptism of the Lord. It was on this day that John the Baptist baptized Jesus, who came from Nazareth, in the Jordan, after which Christ began to enlighten people. As all four Gospels testify, on this day God comes into the world to show the Light to people. Therefore, another name for this holiday is Epiphany.

It is believed that on Epiphany night the Spirit of God sanctifies the water in all reservoirs, and bathing in the hole for Epiphany allows you to cleanse yourself of all sins. These days the Blessing of Water takes place - the day before, on January 18, on Epiphany Christmas Eve, the consecration of water in churches is held. January 19, after the morning Liturgy, in the reservoirs.

And here, personally, I have questions: if the Spirit of God himself ALREADY sanctified the water in rivers and lakes, then why do the priests do it again, during procession? If ALL water becomes holy on this day, is it possible to assume that holy water flows simply from the tap?

This year I decided to experiment. Since childhood, despite the fact that my parents were unbelievers, I firmly knew that there should always be holy water at home. And that on the day of Epiphany, you need to sprinkle all the corners of the house with holy water so that peace and prosperity reign in it. And that you definitely need to drink 3 sips of holy water collected that day in the church. All this for the whole year will protect from diseases and purify the soul.

Of course, swimming in the hole at Epiphany is not for me, because I have never been a walrus, but I definitely collect holy water in the church. And I drink 3 sips, and I sprinkle corners, a cat, a dog.

Does holy water help or hurt?

Helps? Maybe. For in my house I have peace and tranquility, and indifference to my own health has not yet had any particularly terrible effect. Well, I always have holy water at home. She stands up next year and sometimes for several years.

Does it hurt? In no case! Well, what are a few drops of water on the floor and walls?! Additional humidification of overdried air. No, theoretically, of course, it can harm. For example, if you sprinkle bare wires with holy water (short circuit) or pour water into a cat's ear (otitis media).

So, back to our sheep, that is, to the water. Since I am Lazy, why not look for a way to make your life easier: After all, if holy water flows from the tap on this day, then why go to church for it?

Therefore, the experiment will be as follows: I will draw water in 3 identical containers. One will contain tap water collected on the day of Epiphany, January 19th. In the second - water from the same tap, but collected a day or two before or after, in the third - holy water from the church. And if the weather is good that day, there will probably be a fourth container, with water from the river, which will be consecrated. I really wonder how long the water will last in each of the cans, and you?

P.S. The experiment was carried out, see the results.
