It may be superstition, but it's a fact. They wear it for years and nothing, but here, almost at the same time, both were torn ..

It seems to me that they can answer you briefly and precisely in the church.
I think it is necessary to change the chain, and put on your cross as soon as possible. My daughter recently lost her cross. As soon as I discovered this, I bought a simple one on a string in a church shop. And then she was already after her illness ... A week later, they found the lost cross in the kindergarten. It seems to me that the chain is not mysticism. The main thing is not to lose the cross.

According to the church, this means nothing. Over time, if you wear a chain for a long time, the links fray, stretch and tear, so more often crosses are worn on a string. Do not believe in superstitions, the bad is attracted. Go to church for peace and everything will be fine. I know that the found crosses and icons cannot be torn.
I also read that if your chain falls during prayer in the church, then the cross has fallen from you and you are freed from some kind of burden, if the icons are gone (sometimes people carry them with them), then the saints have done everything for you and you are more you don't need them.
P.S. As you can see, this does not lead to anything bad, only to good.

Recall your first thought and actually why this event became disturbing for you. Well, draw your own conclusions.

From time immemorial, the pectoral cross was considered the most powerful amulet for a person who believes in God. Such protection protected from the evil eye, damage, failures and misfortunes. A bright faith in the power of the Divine object has remained to this day. There are many beliefs associated with the cross. What properties does this church item have and what signs about the cross exist? More on this in our article.

Carrying someone else's cross

Passing on the cross from generation to generation to your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren is a common thing for many. Moreover, many revere this family heirloom. It is believed that such a family amulet keeps the strength of all kindred generations and is able to protect its owner from all sorrows and bad weather.

As popular belief says, you can not wear someone else's amulet. Since someone else's chain with a cross gives you all the energy of the previous owner. Well, if that person was lucky and happy. But, if your predecessor was sick, experienced a lot of troubles and problems, you take on all this burden and it can cost you a lot. The whole life can be full of troubles and bitterness.

All believers need to wear their own pectoral cross. This church amulet is a powerful force that protects against everything bad and gives you Divine protection. Before putting on such an amulet for the first time, it must be baptized in the church, and then the protection will gain real strength.

Is it possible to wear a lost cross

If you find a lost cross, in no case do not pick it up, and even more so - do not put it on yourself. After all, you do not know anything about its previous owner, and what kind of life he lived. It is better to avoid such a find.

Other signs associated with the pectoral cross:

  1. If your own cross flew off your neck and fell to the floor, due to the fact that the chain was unfastened or torn, it is a very bad omen. If you have such a case, in the near future you will have trouble. Therefore, try to wear your protection always on yourself.
  2. If your cross fell somewhere, you lost it, and then it was found, this is not a bad sign. The guardian angel protects you and tries to protect you. This is a sign that you have acquired divine protection again.
  3. A cross falls from the chain, a bad omen. Someone wishes you harm and tries to annoy you. Therefore, try to avoid ill-wishers and, if possible, go to church after such a phenomenon.
  4. If a pectoral cross was stolen from you, plucked straight from the chain, this is a bad omen and a sign that you have lost Divine protection.

If the cross darkens

The darkening of the cross is a very bad omen. Most likely, damage has been directed at you or there is an evil eye. And you can feel this in your state - constant drowsiness, weakness, frequent illnesses, failures and quarrels in the family - all this can confirm the fact of the action of dark forces and the negative deeds of a bad person in relation to you. The sign says the same if your cross is bent.

The best way to get rid of damage or the evil eye is going to church. You need to confess and take communion, and also tell about the phenomenon that happened.

The chain broke on the cross

If the chain with the cross is torn, a great danger awaits you. This is a sure sign that big problems or troubles are coming. The same folk sign repeats if a cross has fallen from the chain.

How to avoid such consequences? In this case, you need to go to church, analyze your life and, if you have sinned in something, repent, ask God for forgiveness in your deeds. If possible, correct your actions and ask for forgiveness from the people you have caused pain and suffering.

Pectoral cross - protection for pregnant women

Such a church talisman helps all people, including pregnant women. It is believed that such protection protects not only the expectant mother, but also the baby in the womb from various pathologies and diseases. Therefore, women tried not to drop it from the chain and always carry it with them.

Even in the old days, Orthodox women wore a pectoral cross to protect themselves and their future child from damage, the evil eye and miscarriage. It was also allowed to wear not only a cross, but also an amulet with the image of the Mother of God or the Holy Trinity. It is very important that such an amulet be consecrated in the church.

Signs about the cross in the cemetery

Since ancient times, the cross has been considered a shrine, which is revered by all Christians. The installation of a cross on the grave of the deceased has its own characteristics and signs. How is the cross placed on the grave? The location of the grave in the cemetery is carried out according to the traditions of Orthodoxy. The head of the deceased is directed to the west, and the legs to the east. According to the Bible, this is how Jesus Christ was buried.

The cross on the grave is placed at the feet of the deceased. At the moment when the soul of the deceased leaves the worldly life, she will be able to see the church amulet in front of her, receive forgiveness and pray before God.

In Catholicism, a grave cross is placed at the head of the deceased, so that his soul on his last journey before going to heaven could kiss the shrine, express his repentance and devotion to the Christian dogma.

Signs about the old cross on the grave

After the funeral, a wooden cross is placed at the grave of the deceased. This design is lightweight and does not require special tools and installation work. After a certain time, according to Orthodox rules, the old cross must be removed and a new tombstone made of durable material - granite or marble. And then many people have a question: “Where to put the old cross?” After all, you can’t throw it away, and it’s also somehow not good to burn it.

If this item is well preserved, it can be handed over to the workshop or even sold. The clergy say that there is nothing wrong with installing an old crucifix. Moreover, an old tombstone that will be reused can express the purity, meekness of the deceased and his not striving for worldly goods.

SIGNS AND SUPERSTITIES. 10 COMMON SIGNS.

There is nothing wrong with replacing a broken cross in a graveyard. After all, it can break quite by accident - due to weather conditions. But the fallen cross, according to popular superstitions, must be burned and a new one put in its place. In such a situation, the clergy recommend that the relatives of the deceased order a prayer for the repose and put a candle at the grave.

There are many beliefs and superstitions with crosses on the graves of the dead. They are associated with inducing damage, the evil eye. The Church considers such acts to be paganism and a great sin. The Holy Fathers urge everyone who has noticed unkind signs and deeds with tombstones in the cemetery not to take this to heart. In this case, you should go to church, pray and take communion. Such good actions will protect you and your family from negativity.

Every person has bad things happen in their life. And one of these is the loss of the pectoral cross. Many immediately begin to get nervous and think that now fate will be unfavorable to them. It is worth discarding all superstitions if you have lost a cross. What this means is that the priest's response should remove all disturbing thoughts.

Why do you need a pectoral cross

During the sacrament of baptism, every Christian puts on his chest a symbol of the redemption of the human race, accomplished by Jesus through death on the Cross. In Russia, the crucifix first appeared when it was necessary to baptize the Slavs in 988. The veneration of the cross has always been considered worship of Christ, a sign of triumph over evil.

Wearing a cross on the chest reminds every believer of the price at which salvation was bought.

Most often, a pectoral cross is a symbol of faith and protection from all evil. Therefore, having lost the cross, we lose hope for salvation.

What does it mean to lose a cross according to the church

The Church considers the loss of this Christian symbol an ordinary everyday event and does not attach any importance to it. If I lost my cross, what should I do? Father's answer is:

  1. Ask for forgiveness from the Lord for your careless attitude to the symbol.
  2. Purchase another consecrated cross.
  3. Endure a three-day fast.
  4. Come to church for communion.
  5. Tell the priest about all the fears that came with the loss.

It's not considered a sin therefore must be hung on the chest a new pectoral consecrated cross.

But before you change it, try to find the old cross. If he could get lost or fall in the apartment, it is necessary to read the prayer “Our Father” and start searching, carefully examining every nook and cranny.

Dont be upset, if the search did not give a result, the newly acquired cross will also reliably protect and protect you from all evil and should not be lost anymore.

Folk omens

Many superstitions came to us from paganism, and the sign of “losing a pectoral cross” is considered very unkind. This means that you have deviated from the right path, and the loss is only a warning of future problems. There are several different explanations:

If you have lost a cross, do not think that God has left you, most likely, some kind of sin lies on your soul, which must be atoned for . If you have sinned a lot, retribution will overtake you.

Many people ask what to do if a child has lost a cross? After all, an unreasonable child may, due to his inattention or prank, not even notice this loss. There is nothing wrong with this, most likely, God protects the child from trouble in this way. Do not scold and do not force to go and look for this Orthodox little thing. Get a new pectoral cross in the temple, hang it around your neck and ask the baby to treat it with respect and love.

Found a cross, what to do in this case

Sometimes it happens to find a broken or even a whole cross with a chain. But it is not advised to wear it, since in this case you can take on all the sins of the former owner, and his troubles will pass to you. But you can’t leave this symbol on earth either. You should take it and take it to the church. There to make consecration and decide whether to wear it or not.

The people are not advised to take such a find, since it is on such things that they carry out black magic, get rid of diseases and problems. Even if this cross is golden, and you think of melting it down, this will not help to avoid negative consequences. Nobody knows if it's true or not but superstitious people should heed this advice.

If the cross is broken or broken

There are times when a baptismal crucifix breaks, the bow on which it rests can come off, or a piece breaks off. Most often, priests consider this to be a poor-quality material from which the amulet is made. Sometimes even a precious crucifix can be stolen. But folk signs say the following:

  • a Christian whose cross is broken, a faint-hearted person who has doubted his faith;
  • a curse has been placed on you, and a good cross could not withstand this negative energy;
  • you have enemies who are very jealous of you.

In any case, a broken cross must be buried in a place where there are practically no people. And in return for this, buy a new one in the church.

It is also believed that the cross cannot be removed under any circumstances. Whether it's swimming or hard work. Why? After all, the cross can easily fly off? Many say that a crucifix should be worn only on a special cord and in no case on a chain that can easily break.

If the cross begins to fall constantly, then you are under the influence of a negative influence.

Acquisition of a wearable creed

There is an opinion that crosses cannot be given and taken from other people. The priests answer that all purchased, donated and even found crosses can be worn if they are first consecrated.

Only in this case, this symbol will carry its protective functions.

Sometimes it happens that later, after a while, the lost cross can be found. What to do in this case: you can wear the amulet that you like best, or take it to the church and leave it there.

If a person is a mature and spiritually rich Christian, he should turn to the priest, who will explain in detail everything about the loss of the pectoral cross.

A pectoral cross for any believer is the most powerful amulet. A lot of signs and superstitions are associated with the cross. There is an opinion that a cross can warn of danger and even reveal the evil eye and damage. What beliefs are associated with this amulet and what miraculous properties does it have?

Is it possible to wear someone else's cross

According to popular belief, someone else's pectoral cross should absolutely not be worn. In some families, there is a tradition - from generation to generation to pass the cross as a family amulet. It is believed that such a talisman has the power of the whole family and is able to protect against all troubles and misfortunes. However, if you look at this tradition from the other side, then there is nothing good in this. By accepting someone else's cross, you take on all the sins and fate of a person. You should not wear someone else's cross if its past owner lived unhappily, was sick, suffered, or died a non-natural death. In this case, you will bear his cross.

Do not pick up a cross lost by someone from the ground

If you find someone else's cross, then you should not raise it. You do not know anything about its past owner, so it's not worth the risk. Always pass by such finds, otherwise you may incur trouble and illness.

If the cross darkened

The pectoral cross has darkened - a bad omen. This means that you have had a negative magical effect. Probably, you have become a victim of the evil eye and damage.

If the chain on the cross is broken

If the chain on the cross breaks, then danger awaits you. This is a warning of impending troubles. What to do in this case, is it possible to avoid failures? In this case, it is recommended to reconsider your views on life, repent of your mistakes and sins, correct all your misdeeds and ask for forgiveness from those people whom you caused suffering and pain.

If the cross is lost

If you have lost a cross, expect trouble. As a rule, people who lost a cross, or simply stopped wearing it for no reason, soon faced big troubles. Try to always carry your amulet with you.

If you believe folk signs and superstitions, a pectoral cross is not only a strong amulet, but also a kind of indicator of the state of a person’s soul. Do good and then your amulet will protect you from all troubles! Good luck and don't forget to press the buttons and

It is believed that if a thread sticks to clothes, then this means something. If you believe folk signs, then every little thing ...

There is a popular belief that a pimple that suddenly appears on the nose, lip or forehead promises some important ...

Although the saying “Trust in God, but don’t make a mistake yourself” was common among our ancestors, the opposite statement was also considered true: rely on your own ingenuity as much as you want, but do not forget to enlist the support of higher powers in the form of an amulet or a talisman for good luck. Each person had a personal mystical "assistant" with him, afraid like fire to break or lose the charmed little thing - you won't end up in trouble! And over time, as Orthodox churches crowded pagan temples from our land, the functions of a talisman in the popular imagination were transferred to a small pectoral cross. What can folk signs signal if the cross is broken, blackened, lost, or even taken away by force?

Interpretation of the troubles that happened to the pectoral cross

We note right away that the Orthodox cross is not a talisman or a talisman. By itself, it does not protect a person; this is the work of God's grace and the Guardian Angel, who is always present nearby, regardless of whether you wear a cross around your neck. In the same way, the sudden disappearance of the main symbol of Christianity does not yet mean that higher powers have turned away from you. For believers, but not superstitious people, the cross is, first of all, a sign of their love for God. A precious sign that does not tolerate a careless attitude, but by no means mystical. By itself, it does not affect fate. Any priest to whom you try to complain about the loss or breakage of this difficult jewelry will calmly advise you in response to buy a new one and not fool yourself with empty worries.

The cross is not a charm, but a symbol

On the other hand, the persistence of superstitions cannot be explained by fears alone. Centuries pass, ideas change, the priests do not get tired of convincing parishioners not to trust the old beliefs, and we are still covered in cold sweat, having found instead of a cross a piece of a chain around our neck. Maybe, in fact, not everything is so simple with signs? For example, if your cross...

Broken, torn off eyelet, bent gold or silver cross

For the most part, the breakage of the pectoral cross is interpreted as a sign of a strong - and extremely negative! - an energy strike directed at you by ill-wishers. Fortunately, someone's evil thought or attempt to cause damage met with a worthy rebuff and were nullified, so you have nothing to fear. But it won’t hurt to strengthen your defense and buy a new cross as soon as possible, since the old, broken one should not be worn or kept in the house. Donate it to the church, especially if the cross is golden, or bury it somewhere in a sparsely populated place where random passers-by will not stomp on it.

A sign is considered invalid in two cases:

  1. If the loop on which the cross is hung from the chain is cracked. This is initially the weakest element, which now and then breaks down without any participation of mysterious forces.
  2. If the cross is broken in a child. Children are terrible fidgets, capable of breaking a more massive decoration in the heat of the game. Do not worry and do not scold the child. Buy your baby a new symbol of faith, be sure to consecrate.

Darkened or blackened: what do folk signs mean

Cosmetics, perfume and sweat will quickly cause silver to darken.

A blackened cross either also warns of someone's attempt to harm you on an energy level, or signals that you spend a lot of time in a team with an extremely unfavorable atmosphere. Perhaps the negativity is not directed at you personally, there is simply too much of it. For example, in an office where it is customary to actively incite each other and do nasty things to colleagues, the situation itself will act depressingly even on those who are trying their best to stay away from intrigues. The dark places on the cross indicate that he copes with his task of taking on the negative and resisting it, but you can’t leave things to chance. Clean up regularly - do a hobby that gives you joy, go out into nature, go to church. Chat with your friends more often! And if possible, try to change the place of work, and the state of mind, and the nervous system will only benefit from this.

Sign does not work:

  1. If you are wearing a silver cross. Silver tends to darken and even blacken over time, so do not look for a catch and do not blame colleagues and acquaintances for what oxidation is to blame for.
  2. Jewelry gold, even of a high standard, often contains a small admixture of copper, which gives it the necessary hardness. Even 4-5% of this "ignoble" metal can lead to the appearance of dark spots on the cross. If the jeweler seriously cheated and used an alloy with 20-50% copper content, its darkening is a matter of time.

Lost an expensive cross or on a regular rope

There are three different interpretations here:

  • Higher powers “take off the cross from you” - that is, they save you from some unbearable difficulties and problems in life. Many are sure that the loss of a cross occurs at a time when a person's strength to fight life's troubles runs out, and God, seeing this, opens up several new paths for him to choose from. According to the apt expression of the mocker Ostap Bender, "do not beat your cheeks with your ears," but look around, and take a closer look. Why not suddenly open up to new promising opportunities where there used to be a blank wall?
  • A heavy sin lies on your soul, which, however, can be forgiven you. And now is the time for that! Just be aware of your misdeed, repent and mentally promise yourself and God that in the future you will try not to repeat the old mistakes.
  • When the cross just falls off the chain or seems to be removed from the neck itself, this is one thing. If, once or twice, you thought about replacing the old lace, but you still didn’t find time for it, or every now and then you took off the chain, casually throwing it into your bag - it’s completely different. Perhaps higher powers reproach you for lack of faith and lack of respect for holy things. Think about why you wear a cross? If it is because you believe in God, treat him accordingly. If because of fashion, because parents ask or all girlfriends have the same one, it is better to immediately remove the empty jewelry from the chain and put it in the box “out of harm's way”.

Replace the chain on the baby's neck with a thin ribbon that will break in case of danger.

Absolutely nothing means a cross that has fallen from the neck of a child. There are no serious misconducts on the conscience of the baby yet, it is too early to judge about the “life cross” assigned to him, and the higher powers keep the children regardless of the presence of external symbols of faith. On the contrary, it is good that the chain fell off imperceptibly, and did not cling to some branch and did not injure the child! Do not scare yourself or the child, but just go to church for a new cross.

Fell, unfastened and flew off, imperceptibly the chain broke or the gaitan broke

  • Usually the fall of the cross does not bode well. It is believed that this event promises a person serious difficulties, illnesses and anxieties associated with loved ones. If you drop the cross before an important matter - for example, before a long journey - there will be no luck. You will lose it just like that, expect trouble in the near future.
  • However, if the cross falls due to the fault of a torn or unfastened chain, this is a sign of envy and anger boiling around a person. Either your environment is to blame for them, and then you should do everything possible to communicate less with ill-wishers. Or these feelings have warmed up in your own soul, and here a long, painstaking work on yourself is required. Whom offended - sorry. Whom envied - wish happiness. And if someone pisses you off, try to look at him with different eyes. Maybe the annoying colleague or chatty neighbor is actually a very nice woman who is sincerely trying to make friends with you?

The Church has its own point of view on this matter. Orthodox priests explain: if bad omens come at you in a "jamb" - an icon falls, a cross is lost, and then the chain breaks from under it - it's not at all in an unfavorable period of life. It's just that your heart is restless. Perhaps because of the abundance of unseemly acts that you have allowed yourself to do lately, or perhaps for purely external reasons. And all sorts of negative entities (in Christianity they are called demons) are right there: the icon will be dropped, the chain will be undermined, the lock will be carefully removed ... In general, they slip frightening signs, confuse, bring even more confusion to thoughts. In a word, they do everything to confuse you and prevent you from gaining peace of mind. In such cases, believers are supposed to fast for three days, and then confess, take communion and throw all the frightening events out of their heads. At a minimum, start going to church regularly, every time you pray, tell God about the anxieties that overwhelm you, and ask Him for protection and help.

Sincere prayer and faith in the best - reliable protection from bad omens

Stole, ripped from the neck

The owner of the stolen cross has nothing to worry about. It is impossible to steal God's grace, there is no sin because of what happened to you, and if you feel a little sorry for a memorable or materially valuable thing, let it go in peace: it means that you were taken away from the loss of something more important. But you will not envy your offender! Not to mention the fact that stealing a holy object is a sin worse than ordinary theft, along with someone else's cross, the thief will get other people's problems. Have pity on him and don't be upset anymore.

Beliefs about the cross are quite contradictory. For example, some consider its fall to be a sign of an energy attack on a person, and in the loss they see almost a sign of death! But in any case, signs should not be regarded as a final and categorical sentence. If mysterious forces are indeed to blame for them, this is just an occasion to think about yourself and your actions. Perhaps with the help of an alarm sign you are asked to make decisions more carefully or taken away from danger. Forewarned is forearmed! And if there is no life at all from fears and doubts, remember the advice of St. Seraphim of Sarov, who answered the suspicious parishioner's question about signs: "Do not believe in them, and they will not come true."
