Second phase (quarter) of the Moon

Element: Water. Approximately on the eighth or ninth lunar day from the beginning, the first quarter of the moon comes or is still called. During this period, the level of fluid in the human body is concentrated in the middle of the chest. In this regard, diseases of the organs that are located here may occur, if there are hidden pathologies. It is necessary to pay attention to the changes taking place with the body, especially when they are not aimed at better side. If the body has problems that you yourself do not yet know about the second phase of the moon, it's time to identify them. A person at this time becomes sensitive, the energy continues to increase, but not as actively and rapidly as in.

MOON IN THE SIGN OF CANCER f 14° 49" 45"

During the days of Cancer, most people become easily hurt, touchy and sensitive. They plunge into the inner world, move away from problems and the external environment. The significance of their experiences, emotions and impressions becomes more important than real life. Their mood becomes very unstable and changeable, their behavior is extremely unstable. During this period, people are able to follow their subconscious impulses, which are difficult to explain, and often perform inappropriate actions and deeds. They can, without a drop of doubt, take risks, sacrifice something important.

The most reasonable thing to do these days is to give up rash actions and impulsive decisions, carefully consider your behavior and thoughts. It is useful to create a comfortable, cozy and protected environment for yourself: for example, put things in order in the house, make minor repairs. It is not necessary to leave your inner world - it will simply become brighter and richer.

Every day has its own in the human system certain place and name. The day of the week, month, and year are the exact reference points in the system of time coordinates, thanks to which people plan their daily activities. To keep track of time, a person invented not only a clock, but also a calendar - a tool that counts days and years. The calendar allows you to represent time in the form of a ruler, and every student knows how to determine any date. However, this was not always the case.

Julian calendar

The Roman Calendarium was a debt book that was settled on the calendar days. The Romans were guided within the month by the main events:

• kalendam — the first days of the month;
• nonam--fifth or seventh days;
• idam - on the 13th or 15th days.

There were 10 months in total, and March was considered the first - the month of the god Mars. This system was borrowed from the Greeks, whose calendar consisted of 12 months. The discrepancy between the solar and calendar years forced the Greeks to add the thirteenth month 3 times every 8 years: in the third, fifth and eighth year.

The Roman calendar in this regard was even more inconvenient, since it periodically required inserting an extra month. Mensis Intercalaris, or the thirteenth month of the Roman calendar, was introduced in February, but the decision to declare it was up to the pontiff. Sometimes politicians influenced the decision of the latter, and in times of unrest, the thirteenth was simply forgotten. As a result of careless handling of Mensis Intercalaris, calendar dates and seasons began to diverge, and by the time of Julius Caesar's reign they were more than 60 days behind each other.

To synchronize seasons and calendar dates Julius Caesar introduced a new system of calculus, which is called Julian. In this calendar, the months have received different amount days, and a special leap year was introduced to eliminate the out-of-sync error. The Julian calendar remains the main time system for some religious and non-canonical organizations, and also forms the basis of the Orthodox calendar. Today in Russia the Julian calendar is known as the "old style".

Gregorian calendar

Despite all efforts to synchronize dates, the Julian calendar still failed. With the advent of Christianity, Easter became the main holiday, the date of which, as you know, is calculated according to the spring equinox. But in the Julian calendar, the full moons were at odds with the astronomical ones, making it difficult to determine the floating date for Easter Sunday. That is why a modified version of Julius Caesar's calendar was developed, in which the rules for calculating leap years and calculating Easter were changed. To correct calendar errors on the day of adoption moved the date by 10 days. Every 400 years, the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendar increases by 3 days.

Counting principles

The calendar is a system of calculation based on the principles of movement celestial bodies. The change of day and night or the lunar cycle set the main guidelines for building the timeline. Why did the ancient Greek and Roman calendars accumulate errors and require extra months to be inserted? The thing is that when calculating the month, the change of lunar phases equal to 29.53 days was taken into account. In this way, lunar year contains only 354.37 days, and every year there is a shift of dates by 11 days. To eliminate this problem, the days began to be counted not according to the movement of the Moon, but according to the Sun.

The solar calendar is based on an annual stellar cycle that lasts 365.25 days. It is obvious that every 4 years one extra day accumulates, and in order to level it leap years are introduced. To check the correspondence of dates and seasons, such a calendar uses the days of equinox and solstice. So, the spring equinox is stably fixed on March 20, and the June and December solstices allow an error of 1 day. The solar calendar is used in all new calculus systems, including the Gregorian.

Key landmarks

We understand how to count the years, but from what to count them? Depending on the era and civilization, the countdown was made in different ways. For example, the Romans determined the time historical events on the main landmark - the foundation of Rome. In, on the contrary, the countdown began each time anew, along with the accession to the throne of the next ruling dynasty. With the advent of Christianity medieval Europe took as a mark of the beginning of the time of the Nativity of Christ, which is still used in most modern states.

Religious landmarks are the most popular timestamps from which time is kept in other countries. For example, in Islamic countries, years are counted from the Hijra - the date of the migration of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina. Things are even more interesting with the Jewish calendar, which takes as its beginning the moment of the creation of the universe. According to the adherents of Judaism, the world was created in 3761 BC. e, which was calculated on the basis of the life span of biblical heroes. India's religious calendar, the Kali Yuga, offers a more interesting starting point. According to Indian beliefs, the era of Kali Yuga began at the time of the departure of Krishna from this world, which happened on January 23, 3102 BC. e.

But the most curious is Mayan calendar. We still do not know exactly what point of reference the ancient Indians took for their calendar, although we found out on the basis of carbon analysis that the Mesoamerican calendar starts on August 13, 3114 BC. e. Another thing is curious. The Mayan calendar was calculated only until December 21, 2012, which gave rise to many eschatological theories about a global cataclysm that was supposed to happen on that day. Date 21.12.2012 the world waited with bated breath. But nothing happened, and another doomsday sank into oblivion.

As you know, the Orthodox Church in Russia and a number of other countries does not recognize the secular calendar that is familiar to us. The Church adheres to the "old", Julian style, according to which the world lived even during the earthly life of Christ. However, the difference between the Julian and modern (Gregorian) calendars is now as much as 13 days. So which one is more correct and optimal?

Miracles as evidence

Among my acquaintances there are categorically not accepting the new style, and even New Year celebrating on the night of January 13-14 - according to the "only true and correct" Julian calendar. They are sure that the whole world lives according to the “wrong” time. As evidence of their correctness, they cite miracles that occur in Orthodox holidays just the old style.

Take, for example, the miracle of dried lilies coming to life. For many years now, everyone can watch it in two places in Ukraine: in the Transcarpathian town of Mukachevo and in the village of Kulevcha near Odessa.

One of the main shrines of the church "Joy of All Who Sorrow" in Mukachevo is a miraculous myrrh-streaming icon Mother of God, famous for her numerous healings. A few years ago, a tradition arose: on Easter, put white lilies, which are considered the flowers of the Virgin, in the icon case of this icon. Lying under the glass of the icon, the flowers, as expected, dry up. For the first time, they already wanted to remove them, when suddenly, two weeks later, the astonished parishioners noticed that the dry lilies ... sprouted and turned green again! And then the flowers bloomed! This miracle has been happening every year since then.

A similar phenomenon is observed in the Kulevchansky St. Nicholas Church. On Friday before Easter, in the kiot of the miraculous icon of Kazan Mother of God solemnly placed white lilies cut in the garden of the temple. Without roots, earth, moisture and fresh air, they lie under glass for many weeks. At the end of spring, dry stems suddenly give young shoots and flowers bloom right on Trinity! Several months pass, and bulbs are born from the dried stems, and living leaves appear again from the bulbs, delighting parishioners until spring. And only a week before the new Easter, having spent a whole year without water, the lilies finally dry up completely. They are distributed to people, and fresh lilies are placed in the icon. In 2007, green shoots grew especially strong and entwined the icon so that only the face of the Mother of God remained open, neatly framed by stems and leaves.

From the point of view of science, such miracles seem fantastic. Over this phenomenon, specialists of the Botanical Garden of ONU named after A.I. Mechnikov, but scientists cannot give clear explanations. For believers, all this reminds that nothing is impossible for God, and that the human soul, like a flower, can bloom even when, it seems, nothing can help it ...

A curious natural phenomenon can be observed on the eve of the Feast of the Entry into the Temple Holy Mother of God, on the night of 3 to 4 December. Around midnight, despite any frosts, buds swell on willows and lambs bloom! A few hours later they close back. If such a branch is cut, it will remain loose. Such phenomena were repeatedly filmed on photo and video equipment. In some pictures, you can see an unusual glow around the tree, as if hundreds of small lights stretched from the branches somewhere up...

Another miracle has been observed in Israel for 2,000 years, on the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord. As is known from the Gospel, on this day the Savior, together with two disciples, ascended Mount Tabor and was transformed, appearing before the apostles in a dazzling radiance. And the top of the mountain, on which they were, was enveloped in a lush cloud. Since then, every year on this holiday according to the Julian calendar, a cloud has invariably descended to the top of Tabor, covering the one built on the mountain. Orthodox church. On all other days of the year, there are practically no clouds in this area ...

Epiphany phenomenon

I have a collection of bottles in my closet. Epiphany water. Every year on January 19 (January 6, O.S.), I pour a bottle of water straight from the tap. Years pass, but it does not deteriorate at all and does not go rotten! The oldest samples are already 15 years old, but even such water can be safely poured into a glass and drunk without risking poisoning. At the same time, the water in the “control” bottles poured on other days, as expected, becomes rotten after a couple of months.

Anyone can verify this. On the feast of the Epiphany of the Lord, as if at the behest of a magician, the water in all the reservoirs of the world is mystically consecrated and becomes imperishable. Poured into vessels, it is able to remain fresh for an arbitrarily long time.

According to the conclusions of scientists trying to find an explanation for this phenomenon, Epiphany water changes its biological properties in an incomprehensible way, becoming almost sterile, as if it had been treated with silver ions. According to biophysicist Stanislav Zenin, the reason lies in the special radiation from space. In his opinion, it is on January 18-19 that the Earth enters a stream of the strongest cosmic radiation that changes the properties of water. And if prayers are also read over the water in temples, then its unique and healing qualities are even more enhanced. The water is transformed on Epiphany Christmas Eve, from 17.30 to midnight and keeps them until the next evening. After that, the water in natural reservoirs quickly returns to its normal state.

There are other miracles on the feast of Epiphany. On January 19, 2006, several thousand pilgrims witnessed an amazing phenomenon that took place on the Jordan River. During the service, silver crosses were lowered into the river, and a whirlpool suddenly appeared on the hitherto calm surface of the water, the water began to boil, and the current ... turned back for several minutes! This incident recalled an event two thousand years ago. According to legend, when Jesus Christ entered the waters of the Jordan for baptism, the water of the river for a short time, contrary to the laws of physics, flowed in the opposite direction ...

How calendars were created

It turns out that the truth is that the Julian style is true?

However, not everything is so simple and unambiguous ...

Let's remember how calendars were created. The real tropical year, measured by the cycle of passage of the center of the Sun through the vernal equinox in the sky, is 365.242199 days. But after all, a person is used to thinking in whole numbers! Rounding the year to 365 days, we get a "makeweight" of 5 hours 48 minutes and 46 seconds. Because of this, people had to create special calendar systems.

There are about 40 variants of calendars on our planet - from "civil" to religious ones. For one and a half thousand years, the calendar created by the astronomer Sosigene, introduced under Julius Caesar in 45 BC, was considered one of the most convenient and accurate. e. It used a system of leap days added every 4 years. However, it was not completely accurate either. When rounding up the four-year “add-on weights” and adding them to an additional day, there were still unaccounted minutes and seconds, which every 128 years shifted the calendar relative to the vernal equinox point by one day ahead. Because of this, over time, the need to reform the system of chronology began to mature.

The West decided to carry out a calendar reform under Pope Gregory XIII . The author of the new chronology, according to which they now live in most countries of the world, was the Italian physician, astronomer and mathematician Luigi Lillio. The calendar was named after the Catholic head and was introduced in 1582. The accumulated extra 10 days were “thrown out” in it, and so that the calendar would not move in the future, it was decided to complicate the system for inserting leap days. In each period of 400 years - 100, 200 and 300 years were excluded from the number of leap years, and their number decreased by 3 days. Thanks to this, it turned out that the Gregorian year is only 26 seconds longer than the tropical one, which means that the extra day accumulates over 3280 years, which is quite acceptable.

However Orthodox world Catholic innovations accepted with hostility. Indeed, in addition to the calendar reform, Catholics also came up with a new system for calculating Easter days, abandoning the optimal and universal Alexandrian Paschalia and violating a number of patristic rules. In Orthodox Russia, even the civil calendar until 1918 was kept according to the Julian style, differing from global standards by 13 days.

Astronomers did not like the Gregorian calendar either, for which the more accurate is not the tropical, but the sidereal year measured by the stars, to which the old style was closer. For precise mathematical calculations, the Julian chronology turned out to be more convenient. Therefore, astronomers, mathematicians and chronological historians still prefer to make calculations according to Yu.S., and then add the corresponding number of days to the data obtained.

After the introduction of the new style in Russia, the Russian Orthodox Church still continues to live according to the Julian calendar. Because of this, Christmas, which was previously celebrated before the New Year, is celebrated in our country on the 7th day of N.G. And from the next century, it will have to be moved to January 8th, and in the same way, with respect to the civil calendar, all the rest will move church holidays. Incidentally, this may well lead to church schisms. There will definitely be smart people who do not understand anything about calendar problems, who are eager to live the old fashioned way, but who do not want to switch to new dates regarding the new style. And several millennia later, if our Church does not abandon the Julian calendar, then Easter will have to be celebrated not in spring, but in early summer ...

In 1923, the New Julian calendar was adopted by most Orthodox Churches, until 2800 it completely coincided with the Gregorian, but even more accurate. It was developed by the Yugoslav astronomer, Professor Milutin Milanković. An error of 1 day accumulates in it after more than 40,000 (!) years. But not all Orthodox agreed to accept it, and this gave rise to schisms. For example, from the one that switched to it Greek Church the "Old Calendarists" broke away, which in turn split into a number of sects and communities.

Curiously, they also tried to introduce a new style in Russia, and the decree on this was signed by none other than the holy Patriarch Tikhon (Belavin). But since the case smelled of protests and splits, after 24 days everything had to be canceled and returned to normal. Currently, only the Russian, Jerusalem, Georgian and Serbian Churches, plus the monasteries on Athos, use the Julian calendar. Other Local Churches live according to the New Julian style.

Miracles according to the new calendar

I have to disappoint those who are sure that miracles happen only on holidays according to the old style. In fact, they are also in those churches whose feast dates have been transferred to the new calendar. The most striking example of this is the amazing phenomena that the Greek island of Kefalonia is famous for.

In the eastern part of Kefalonia, near the village of Markopulo, there is a temple in honor of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. According to legend, pirates attacked the island several centuries ago. Wanting to rob the monastic cloister and outrage the nuns, they broke into the territory of the monastery. At this time, the nuns with tears prayed for the protection of the Mother of God. And a miracle happened - sea robbers in front of the entrance to the temple were met by a huge number of hissing snakes. Terrified, the pirates fled away from the island. The monastery itself has not survived to this day, but miraculous icon, before which the nuns prayed, is still carefully kept in the temple. Since then, on the eve of the feast of the Assumption, snakes (including poisonous ones) crawl from all around and, as if spellbound, are drawn to this icon. Snakes become tame for a while - they are not afraid of anyone, they are given into people's hands and do not bite anyone. It seems that they are celebrating together with Christians, reminding them of the Garden of Eden, in which the first-created people in the world lived with animals as a single family.

After the end of the festive service, the snakes leave the church and go home. After that, their usual habits return to them again, they no longer let people in and are able to bite. When in the twentieth century Greece switched to the New Julian style, accordingly, they moved and holiday dates. And, most surprisingly, the snakes… also switched to the new calendar!

The second miracle echoes the amazing phenomena described above in Ukraine. Only lilies on Kefalonia decorate the icon of the Mother of God Panagia on the feast of the Annunciation. And dried lilies bloom with snow-white flowers after 4.5 months - on the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin.

From all this we can conclude: for God there are no calendar obstacles! And if the Church, by mutual agreement, switches to a new style, then miracles may well be corrected by Him for new dates.

Easter fire

One of the main Orthodox miracles is the Holy Fire descending in the Jerusalem Church of the Holy Sepulcher on Saturday before Easter according to the Julian style. So much has already been written about him and shown films and reports that, perhaps, there is no point in repeating.

However, not everyone believes in the divine origin of Fire. Many of my acquaintances who have been in Jerusalem and seen everything with their own eyes could object to such skeptics. Many facts speak in favor of the miraculous nature of this miracle. For example, the numerous cases of spontaneous combustion of candles and lamps seen and captured on video. Flashes of lightning in the temple before a sheaf of unearthly light descends from under the dome onto the Holy Sepulcher and lights the Holy Fire in the chapel in which the Patriarch prays. The first minutes, the Fire does not burn and you can even wash your face with it. Moreover, numerous cases of healing people after such fiery washings are known.

One of the ancient witnesses of the miracle can be considered a cracked outer column, from which in 1579, during the reign of the Turkish Sultan, who took a substantial tribute for admission to the temple, the Holy Fire came out - to the poor pilgrims who were not allowed to enter. According to another version, representatives of the Armenian Apostolic Church locked themselves in the temple, not letting Orthodox competitors inside. However, historians consider the first version to be the most reliable.

An attempt to study this miracle with scientific point vision was recently undertaken by Andrey Volkov, an employee of the Russian Research Center "Kurchatov Institute", who brought into the temple a device that records changes in the electromagnetic field. At the moment of the descent of the Holy Fire, a sharp powerful burst of electromagnetic radiation was recorded. According to the scientist, this can be considered proof of the miraculous nature of the miracle.

Date from ancient times Orthodox Easter is calculated according to the Alexandrian Paschalia developed by the holy fathers, taking into account the solar and lunar cycles, and the rules according to which it should be celebrated after the Jewish Passover in the period from March 22 to April 25, according to the old style. After the transition of most Orthodox Churches to AD. s., attempts were made to calculate paschalia in a new way, but ultimately settled on a compromise solution. Easter and related holidays with "floating" dates are still celebrated in the old fashioned way, within the framework of the Alexandrian Paschalia. And fixed holidays (including Christmas, Epiphany, etc.) have been postponed by 13 days.

The Russian Orthodox Church is not yet going to switch to the new style. It is believed that the Julian calendar is one of the most important cultural characteristics Russian church people and is so dear to the majority of believers that it is better not to touch it for the time being.

If sometime in the foreseeable future our hierarchs decide to switch to a new style, then in any case it is not worth being afraid of this and worrying. None of our calendars will confuse God. If only the people themselves tried to live in peace and love, and did not quarrel because of different views, rules and traditions.
