Losing a cross - what is the sign?

Believers and religious people are skeptical about folk signs, since Orthodox Church denies them and considers them ordinary fiction. Therefore, the clergy assure that the cross can be lost by a person who is unable to keep track of his things or who is careless.

This opinion is relevant regardless of whether the item was lost by a man, woman, or child, whether the chain was lost along with the cross or not.

Popular belief says that the loss pectoral cross cannot be an accident and is primarily considered a sign of a person’s weak faith. This can explain that most often chains are broken and incense and crosses are lost in small children whose faith is not yet strong enough.

Another decoding of folk wisdom - no longer need to bear your “cross”, in the near future, what bothered me the most will go away. If life's journey has been filled with trials, it will finally come. white stripe; if you have taken on a “cross” as a relative of someone stricken with a serious illness, this person will soon recover, or, unfortunately, will pass on to another world. If before this you were constantly sick and suffering, now you will experience a different life.

If the loss happened at home and was later found, this means that everything destined will come true, but with less force. Sometimes you come across this decoding - a person has a grave sin on his conscience that needs to be atoned for (if you don’t do this in the near future, various problems will begin).

If the cross has been lost, do not rush to immediately go for a new one (as in the case of the “ ” ring). Take a good look around the house for it. Perhaps he just fell somewhere. Before you begin your search, pray and ask your guardian angel for help.

It is not necessary to use the texts of prayers that you know by heart; you can turn to the Lord in your own words. The cross may be found in a few days or even weeks. If, after all, they searched the whole house, but the loss was not found, then it is God’s will. Now you can go to a temple or church and buy a new cross. It is important that it be sanctified.

Superstition - find a cross on the street

The cross is a religious symbol, so point at it in negative program, it is impossible to endure your sins and illnesses. Therefore, from the point of view of the church, there is nothing wrong with the fact that a person raised it.

If we turn to folk signs, we will come across a very ambiguous interpretation. In the first case, this can be regarded as a good omen. It doesn’t matter whether a gold, silver or wooden cross was found, this can be regarded as God’s mercy, in the same way the Lord gives you a strong amulet.

Superstitious people are sure that it is better to raise such a find so as not to desecrate the sacred thing. If you are still afraid to use it, it is better to take it to the temple.

According to another sign, the pectoral cross, as an accessory that is always with a person, accumulates the energy of the owner. This means that others cannot wear it. It cannot be passed on by inheritance; such things are usually left on a person at the time of the funeral.

The most common belief about a found cross warns that wearing it is prohibited, because in this case you will take on someone else’s “cross” (problems). Another says that if you see a golden cross on the road, this is a test to see how greedy and greedy you are.

As you can see, the signs are very ambiguous and it is impossible to accurately answer the question of what the loss of the cross or its discovery prophesies. If you are a believer, it is better to adhere to the opinion of the church - do not think that someone could transfer negativity to the cross and pick it up on the road, simply take it to church.

At baptism, every Christian receives a baptismal cross, which must be worn either around his neck or simply even in his pocket. This applies to every Orthodox Christian.

This relic is especially treated with reverence if it was given to a child at his baptism. Here his parents jealously observe that the cross was always with the child. As a rule, the child wears it around his neck, but not on a gold or silver chain, but on a simple twine or even a thick thread.

But it happens that your child has lost his cross. Well, it doesn’t matter for what reasons! I changed clothes in physical education, rushed through the corridors of the school, was in the section, or just on the street the thread broke and the cross remained on the asphalt. The parents immediately feel a state close to shock: this is the end! The child has lost the protection of the Lord! What to do?! Let's look at this situation. Quiet and thoughtful. And then you will understand that nothing terrible actually happened. After all, the child lost a THING, albeit a sacred one, but still a thing, but he did not lose faith in his heart in our Lord. And this is the most important thing.

What immediately frightens parents in this regard: if a child has lost his cross, then trouble will definitely await him; the cross lost by the child simply warded off some terrible misfortune and danger from him, but where this misfortune threatened from is unknown, and therefore the fear remains; our child committed some terribly sinful act. Yes, there is nothing like this in reality and cannot be. Dear parents, just understand that the child lost his cross due to everyday circumstances and there is no “sign from above” here and cannot even be. To get started, just read a few prayers, including “Our Father,” and just look for the missing cross. Turn to your child's Guardian Angel for help in finding a lost cross. This very often helps if the request is sincere and you and your whole family are truly devoutly believing Orthodox Christians. Did your search lead to nothing? Then just go to church the next day and consecrate a new cross for your child. And don't panic. The Church treats such incidents with tolerance, understanding and help.

Here it is very important not to listen to the opinions and not to follow the lead of those who actually do not accept our Church, but at the same time pretend to be a “Christian” and try to give you empty, meaningless and even sinful advice. Do not under any circumstances perform the recommended rituals that you do not understand, various spells and manipulations with various objects that supposedly have divine power. They lead you by the nose, make a fool of you, and even try to convey into your soul something that a Christian should under no circumstances keep to himself.

Very often, people who hate the Church and our Lord try to pass themselves off as Christians who have some special knowledge and skills. Thus, they are simply trying, under the guise of “help,” to mislead you and even into sin.

There is another very important point in everything that is connected with the loss of your child’s cross. The devil himself could have had his hand here. He could have specially arranged the situation with the loss of your child’s cross in order to cause confusion, panic and despondency in your heart. After all, it is precisely these feelings that the Church considers unacceptable for a Christian and even sinful. And the devil specifically pushes you there so that you stumble and he finds access to your soul. Remember this clearly and do not allow this to happen.

Let's look at the situation using an example. A young family: father, mother and their seven-year-old child Dasha, who is a church member and wears a baptismal cross on a thin black cord. One day she comes home from school and tells her parents: “I don’t know where or how, but I lost my cross.” Parents should not panic and hysteria, scold their daughter and show emotions. They must hug and calm the child, show him THAT EVERYTHING IS GOOD, that no tragedy occurred. But the next day, read the necessary prayers and, together with Dasha, examine all the places where the daughter was, and look for this cross. At the same time, turn to her Guardian Angel for help. Searches and prayers should yield positive results. If not, then no panic and no despair! The devil expects only this from you.

Go to Church with complete calm, explain the situation and be sure that the priest will understand you adequately and will not make any reproach. After all, he is a MAN. And moreover, he is a servant of our Lord. He will consecrate a new cross for Dasha and everything will be fine.

The loss of your child’s cross, therefore, does not carry with it not only no sin, but even no threat or hint of concern. Be real Christians, which means sobriety of mind and thought. A child is always just a child. He could have lost his cross due to simple everyday reasons. But this is no “terrible” sign or sign of the child’s sinfulness. Never forget that a cross (of course, a sacred thing) is still just a thing. And like any thing, a child can lose it. The main thing is that he does not lose faith in our Lord in his heart, that he does not lose the heart of a Christian.

Everyone's attitude towards the Orthodox cross is different. The clergy claim that the cross is only a symbol of love and devotion to God and do not attach special significance to this object. People associated with esotericism and spiritual practices believe that this thing is endowed with special protective properties. Therefore, if the cross fell, broke, got lost, or the chain on it broke, opinions on this matter also differ.

Some believe that losing a cross means getting rid of sins, hard fate and poverty. Others are of the opinion that this is a sign of weak faith. Still others panic, fearing damage or the evil eye.

The loss of the cross has a contradictory meaning. But most often, having lost it, a person becomes very upset and begins to worry about his fate. This is not surprising, because the cross given at baptism is of great importance for every Orthodox Christian.
