People who try to observe all the traditions and rules of the Christian church often do not know whether it is possible to make a wake for the Trinity and how it is customary to celebrate this day. In order to understand this issue, let's find out what the clergy say about this.
Is it possible to celebrate a wake in the Trinity?
According to the Bible, the Trinity is a festive date, and not a commemoration day, in order to pay homage to the deceased relatives there is a Trinity parental Saturday. Clergymen believe that a funeral for the Trinity can be done only if that day there is a funeral or the anniversary of death, and to visit the graves of relatives on a great holiday is not only wrong, but also sinful.
However, most people believe that it is possible to arrange a wake for the Trinity depends on whether they managed to go to the service. Some of us are sure that if the church service did not work, you should visit the graves of your relatives. Clergymen, however, argue that it is so important to make such a big sin, because it is a holiday in which it is necessary to rejoice, not to commemorate, therefore they insist that if a person wants to honor the memory of deceased relatives,
Thus, to visit the cemeteries and commemorate the dead should be on the Holy Trinity Parents' Saturday and Radonitsa , it is these days that the Orthodox Church allocates for commemoration, and not for Easter or the Trinity itself. It is not forbidden to visit graves in other days that are not related to the great church holidays.
