The sixth week of Lent marks a major church holiday - Palm Sunday. It is dedicated to the entry of Christ into Jerusalem. The city residents greeted Jesus with palm leaves in their hands. They also paved the road along which Jesus Christ rode on a donkey. In mid-latitudes, the spreading palm leaves were eventually replaced by willow branches. This tree is the first to bloom in the spring and pleases the eye with golden earrings.
On Sunday, parishioners bring palm bouquets to the church. In the old days, they believed that the willow consecrated in the church protected the house from enemies and sorcerers, healed diseases, and drove away troubles and misfortunes. Willow branches were kept on the Bozhnitsa, next to the icons. Last year's dried bouquets were not thrown away; they were buried in the garden or floated down the river.

Tap your body with a willow twig- there will be health for a whole year. First, a willow twig is consecrated on this day in church, and after that they tap the twig on the body and say: “Be as strong as the willow, as healthy as its roots and as rich as the earth.” .
Parents always jokingly “lashed” their children with willow branches. This preference is given to the willow because it is, perhaps, the most tenacious tree that exists in nature.
It is believed that even if a willow stick is stuck into the ground upside down, it will still take root and grow. It is for this reason that willow can give health to a person, because it itself is very strong. For example, a sick person can take a willow branch consecrated in church and move it over those points of the body that are especially disturbing, saying: “Holy Spirit, enter through the willow - take away the disease. The willow will come and the disease will take away.”
What if you suffer from insomnia?, then you need to put a willow twig at the head of the bed and before going to bed, looking at it, say: “Holy angels, take care of my sleep, holy willow, drive away the undead.” In Rus' it was believed that if you swallowed nine pussy willow earrings (from a branch consecrated in the temple), you could protect yourself from fever, and in general, drive away any illness.

Eat a willow bud - an important matter will be decided. It was customary to keep consecrated willow branches for a whole year near the icon. If you have to go to important negotiations, or you are about to start a very important business for you, and you are not sure of the result, then willow will help you here too. But only the willow that was consecrated in the church on Palm Sunday will help.
When going on an important task, you need to tear off three buds from a branch and eat them, washing them down with holy water, while thinking about your business. True, this property of a twig can only be used as a last resort. Constantly, don’t, it’s better not to disturb the willow, it can go sideways.
On Palm Sunday think about your loved one, he will come. A young girl, if she liked some guy and he didn’t pay any attention to her, was waiting for this very day. Starting in the morning, she began to think about who was dear to her heart. Her thoughts were somehow incomprehensibly transmitted to this guy. And in the evening he came to her to invite her for a walk. In principle, it has long been proven that human thought is material. Everything we think about inevitably happens in real life sooner or later. Perhaps Palm Sunday has such an energy that allows us to bring our thoughts to life much faster than on any other day.
Plant a houseplant on Palm Sunday and you will be rich. Previously, it was believed that if you plant an indoor flower on this day, it would attract money into your life. In cities, of course, they kept indoor plants, but in villages there was no time for that. But those who knew about this sign and planted indoor plants quickly got back on their feet. But this sign has several features that few people know about.
Firstly, if the flower withers within a month, then you will have to live your whole life in poverty.
And secondly, you only need to plant plants with large and fleshy leaves. The best plant for this is the one called “Money Tree”. Rain, even a little, on Palm Sunday means a good harvest.
The main tradition of Palm Sunday is blessing of branches willows in the church. It is believed that these branches will protect houses from fires and floods throughout the year, and their owners from poverty, disease and adversity.

1. Go to any Temple in the morning and buy twigs there.
2. If you overslept, feel free to go for a walk and look for bushes with burgundy branches and fuzz on them. If you don’t find it with burgundy ones, but see a tree with gray branches and yellow fuzzies, it’s a willow. Also good. Since in fact it doesn’t matter: willow or willow, consider that they are one and the same.
Bring the twigs into the house and may everything be safe for you! The signs of the holiday, of course, are also associated with the magical properties that are attributed to the willow. It is believed that if before Palm Sunday many willow “earrings” appear (buds have blossomed), then the whole year will be fruitful, fertile and rich in good events.
There are a few simple rituals, which you can perform on Palm Sunday.
First, “let it go”blessed willow on the water. The twig will float away - goodness and prosperity will “float” to the house.
Burning a consecrated willow branch protects the house from fire. A consecrated branch stuck into the roof of the house (you can also attach it in the upper corner of the ceiling) will become a talisman of your health and peace of mind.
If you want to wish a person good luck and good luck, lightly whip him with a willow twig. There is no better blessing to be found on this holiday. On Palm Sunday, it is customary not only to perform rituals, but also to speak.
If you want to improve health and get rid of headaches the day before holiday, comb your hair, dip a couple of hairs in water and pour it over the willow. Diseases will go into the ground along with the water.
Also, with the help of a willow spell, you can attract money. On the eve of the holiday (on Lazarus Saturday), take a willow twig in your left hand, and cross yourself with your right hand and read “Our Father.” Then ask the Almighty to save you from financial problems and send prosperity to your home. The enchanted twig must be blessed in church on Sunday.
Family amulet (for Palm Sunday) It is done once a year on Palm Sunday. To do this, you will need as many willow branches as there are people in the family. Early in the morning, at dawn, cut off the branches, then go to the morning service and bless them. Having arrived home and having drunk holy water, begin to weave a braid from the vines, mentally imagining at this time how all the household members joined hands and formed a circle. After completing the work, let the eldest member of the family, holding a wreath in front of the icon of the Mother of God, read:
“St. Paul waved his willow and drove away our enemies. Just as it is true that Palm Sunday is celebrated, it is also true that evil people will not bother you. Amen". 3 times. Keep the wreath near the icons for a year. Amen.
What should you not do on Palm Sunday?
Palm Sunday is a great holiday. You cannot work on this day. Also, do not prepare hot dishes (all meals should be prepared in advance). Do not forget that Palm Sunday is celebrated during Lent. The table should be very moderate: in addition to the foods allowed by Lent, you can only eat fish. And on Palm Sunday you can’t comb your hair. Therefore, the health ritual mentioned above should be performed only on the eve of the holiday.
What signs still exist for Palm Sunday?
* The wind that blows on such a day will accompany you all summer.
* If the weather is clear and warm, according to one sign, the harvest of fruits and grains will be good.
* There is a belief that willow can pacify fire, hail and drive away storms. All you have to do is put the branches on the windowsill, or throw them against the wind, or throw them into the fire.
* On Palm Sunday it is customary to bake cookies or make nuts from dough. Then the prepared desserts are treated to household members and even animals.
* And if you put willow buds into the dough, you will thereby add health to everyone.

The signs for Palm Sunday in 2014 are no different from those signs that existed many centuries ago; on the contrary, such signs have gained great strength and faith among Christians. Whether you believe in them is up to you, but I believe because miracles happen.
It has long been believed that Sunday is the Day of the Sun. And the Sun, as you know, makes our life joyful! Therefore, dreams that occur on Sunday night, as a rule, predict good news. They can concern both ordinary things and love, as well as talents that a person keeps within himself for the time being.
Dream interpreters in their theories adhere to the designation of the Sun as a planet where love, inspiration and boundless creativity reign. The Sun brings happiness and joy to the hearts of people. Therefore, the dreams that come to people on Sunday night show various situations or people whose purpose is to illuminate the lives of others with a special, happy light. However, there are other people, and you should understand that in life everything cannot be endlessly cloudless.
In cases where a Sunday dream is notable for its beauty, this may mean that the dreamer should wait for the arrival of new, interesting ideas or the appearance of acquaintances with unique abilities that can amaze everyone around. However, there is another interpretation if the dream was colorful and sunny on Sunday. This may mean a premonition of the coming of strong love. Interpreters do not rule out that the appearance of a beautiful Sunday dream may precede the revelation in the dreamer of extraordinary talents, which he could only guess about before!
Such a wonderful dream perfectly motivates the dreamer to actively engage in creativity. But if the dream is stingy and monotonous, there are no sun rays in it, then this may be a harbinger of trouble. The only thing left to do in this situation is to learn lessons and see some positive aspects in the event that happened.
It is interesting that a faded, gray Sunday dream is interpreted by some experts as an ineffective waste of energy out of pity for a friend, relative or just an acquaintance. This same dream can be interpreted as the presence of excessive nervous tension. Interestingly, the abundance of different animals in Sunday dreams can mean completely different perspectives. A deer running towards the dreamer means that everyday adversities are approaching, but there is no need to worry, they will pass by. Seeing a cockroach is a sign of imminent incredible events.
So, from a Sunday dream, the main component is not its plot and something seen or heard in it, but what this dream is like in itself, how the dreamer perceives it. If there is something pleasant in a dream, giving the dreamer a bright and joyful feeling, then events similar in their mood await ahead. It can be anything! Children will be pleased with their successes, good feelings will flow from something that has already happened, new acquaintances will come into life, from communication with whom only positive emotions will remain. This could also mean a long-awaited trip.
If we fully analyze what a dream on Sunday means, especially if it is colorful, then we can clearly state the fact that the dreamer has an excellent mood and good mood. Of course, this will help in new achievements. At the same time, a Sunday dream that brings heaviness may indicate general overwork of the body. And in this case, it is necessary to take a vacation and make a trip that will distract the dreamer from the everyday hustle and bustle and help restore strength.
If a hunting leopard appeared in a dream, eating its prey, then this could be a harbinger of overcoming existing family troubles. A cuckoo crows in a dream - your life will be long. If the sound of cuckooing is not heard, your ears will hurt. The cuckoo is flying - there will be a fire. If the dreamer simply saw a cuckoo, it means that his beloved dog will soon leave his life forever.
It is very important to understand that Sunday dreams, unlike dreams that appear on other days of the week, have a general tendency to quickly come true. This can happen either on the same day, or the day after tomorrow, on Tuesday, in the morning. And since these dreams concern close friends and relatives, they must be remembered immediately and remembered in the future until they come true.
Sometimes it happens that a person has a bad dream. What should I do? There are many ways to change your future: hold your head, look at the flame of a candle for a long time, knock three times on the window glass. In the middle of the night, you can turn over the pillow, turn out the pillowcase, or tell this dream to as many people as possible before lunch.
