Child Year: Traditions and Celebration

Many parents, when a child turns a year old, conduct a kind of test. What is his strength and whether he really needs to know in this article.

As it turned out, children at this age can still feel the aura of objects. Therefore, the rite is designed to identify the most appropriate occupation for the spirit of the child. So, in superstitions, it is considered that the subject chosen by the child will be his guide for the whole life. Under the Vedic culture, people were divided into several castes: scientists, dealers, workers, soldiers. In those days, parents determined the future occupation of the child by laying out several items that corresponded to one or another industry. They were: a book, money, weapons and a working tool. Parents, after their child makes a choice, already knew in what direction to promote the child and in what industry he can achieve success. But unlike the modern standards, earlier the custom was conducted at any time, and not in a year. But the age of the child should not exceed 1.5 years. There were other restrictions: the items were laid only by those that he sees for the first time (you can not put your favorite items), the child must be able to crawl at the time of the ceremony, in order to reach the object or crawl to it, etc.

But modern parents treat such questions lightly. Most young mums and dads like this game. If there is no proper relationship to the tradition, it is better not to conduct it at all, because you not only determine your child's path, but also program him and yourself. For example, some parents for fun can put cigarettes, alcohol and even condoms to a common set, that is all that is at hand. Imagine if your one-year-old daughter chooses the subject of contraception. The fact is that this factor will be postponed at a subconscious level, first of all among parents, and they will search for a similar life for their child all their lives and thereby program him. So it is quite possible to make a "muddle" from a normal girl. The case described above is an extremely rare measure, but it is called upon by young mothers and dads to take seriously any issues concerning the child.

If you are inclined to believe in predictions and rituals, as well as the effect of programming, then it's best for you to put the car keys, apartments and wallet.

By the way, it is worth noting that the child needs to be planted not just on the floor, but on a special litter. Some argue that this should be a sheepskin, if so, then you can unscrew the sheepskin coats. Others simply take a small mat and sit the child.

There are several types of calculations before the child. You can make any you like or a mix. If any items are not enough, stock them in advance.

How to congratulate the baby with the first year of life?

Just need to warn young parents that at this age your child will not need a lavish banquet. On the contrary, the fewer the invited, the better for you and for him. Let it be a narrow circle of the closest acquaintances and relatives.

Let the godparents and grandparents help you decorate the whole house or room with colorful balls. Balls will dominate the mood of not only the kid, but also the adult. Let it be various clowns, cars, dolls and other interesting figures.

Also, parents can make a special album on the paper. Take photos taken for the year and one by one glue them, while marking the dates (month) and the arrow point to the next photo. Take 12 photos: from the first for the appearance to the light and up to 1 year.

The calendar can have a different theme: the first tooth, the first step, the first word and so on. That is, you show how your child went this year and how he did it.

You can make a beautiful crown of gold foil and decorate it with the child's head, as well as parents.

The role of godparents at the festival

Let the godparents make notes in the album: they will outline the handles and legs to the child, so that later it can be seen how it develops. You can also make a hole on the special board or on the back of the wooden meter (specify the height) and continue this tradition every year.

A long tradition is circumcision of the hair for the first year of birth. Make it to the godmother and father. For this it is necessary to cut off each side of the head (cut off from four sides) in a small symbolic curl. Some prefer to shear nalyzo, but this is not necessary. The circumcision rite from four sides is a symbol of the cross, that is, of protection. So, if your boy has already grown up and goes into the army, then curl will serve him as the strongest amulet and protection against the misfortune. For this, when the son is on the doorstep, the mother needs to cut off a strand of his hair and put them to those that were cut in a year. In turn, a small strand of small hair had to be put into the incense and given to his son. This amulet is designed to protect against injuries, failures and various dangers.

If it's a girl, then her hair is given on the day of her marriage. This gives the daughter the opportunity to leave her father's house forever, in order to create her own happy family.

After the hair was cut, they should be folded neatly into a special paper or handkerchief. The hair is not stored anywhere, but in its own home, behind the images of the saints. So you give the opportunity to God's power and grace to help your child. It is believed that the saints guard a person and do not give impure force to take possession of his soul.

Afterword

Whatever it was, the main decoration and cause of the holiday is the kid himself, so dress him up nicely and make sure that the baby was comfortable in this dress. Make a large number of different photos in memory. Attach decorated butterflies everywhere, put colorful pencils. Let the child enter this life brightly and also brightly and live it.
