Deep meaning and traditions of the holiday

The Feast of the Introduction into the temple symbolizes the spiritual birth of the Holy Mother of God and is a reminder of the importance of involving children in faith. The Church teaches that this day is especially favorable for the first confession of a child.

On this day, believers go to the temple with prayers to the Mother of God, who is considered a symbol of peace, harmony and family comfort. She is asked for:

• health for children, parents and relatives;
• strength of the family;
• easy childbirth for pregnant women;
• the gift of motherhood for those who only dream of children.

How to celebrate the Introduction

Tretya Prechista falls on the period of the Christmas fast, so the festive table should be sung. At the same time, it is allowed to serve fish, dishes with vegetable oil and a little wine.

Special importance is attached to the celebration in the family circle. This is a time for harmony, communication with loved ones and prayers for well-being.

Introduction to the temple of the Most Holy Theotokos is not just a religious holiday, but an opportunity to reflect on spiritual values, family relationships and involve the smallest members of the family in the faith. It reminds that harmony begins with love, prayer and peace in the heart.
