The day for forgiven Sunday holiday is movable, it depends on the date of celebration of Easter and Christ of the Resurrection, but always falls on the last day of the carnival. Then the great post begins, which lasts seven weeks.
This is the day of Christian repentance, when it is customary to forgive forgiveness from his relatives and relatives for his free and involuntary proges and resentment and forgive, let go of an evil caused to you by other people. The main thing about to apologize sincerely repenting, from the soul, and not formally.
From the point of view of the ceremony, it looks like this: you need to approach your close to you and from the pure heart to ask: "Forgive me, please," the interlocutor must answer: "God will forgive, and I forgive."
In this case, it is important that the word "sorry" is - to them a person recognizes his misconduct and regrets them, but "sorry", then he is "out of guilt", that is not to blame. To forgive the other, his loved one, it means, to accept him as the Lord created, with all the shortcomings and interests.
The meaning of this action is to cleanse and enter the great post with a clean, unreputed before anyone. Sins will not distract from spiritual work during the post.
In addition, forgiveness Sunday is the last day of the carnival. This is a joy: songs, games, dancing in honor of the Wire Wires and Spring Meetings. This day ends with the burning of the stuffed carnival, which symbolizes the purification of fire.
