Ritual cookies This biscuit, in the form of a ladder, people baked on the Feast of the Ascension and called it "ladders, ladies". The shape, size of the biscuit, even the filling (with poppy, cottage cheese, jam) and decorations were different. Only the image of the staircase was preserved. The logs symbolized spiritual growth, aspiration for moral perfection. In other areas of Russia the ladder was an indispensable attribute aimed at ensuring the harvest. The cookies were eaten in the field and crumbed into sowing, falling asleep with land with sentences. Today, the custom of baking ladder is reviving. And this ritual is given a new meaning. A scaffold is a symbol of career growth and success. Dough knead under the conspiracy. Do it with Vera. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. To the True Christ, the King of Heaven, who ascended in His glory. Lord, I sing You, who stepped on the ladder of glory, which brought You to the throne of the Kingdom of Heaven. Bless, Lord, this bread. Whoever eats this bread, who drinks it with Holy water, will find Your protection everywhere. The fate does not offend the person, the judge will not condemn, the cunning will not cheat, the fast will not run over. Every door will open to him, every head will bow to him. King David himself helps me, my ladder blesses. Michael Archangel confirms my words. In the name of the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Now and ever and forever and ever. Amen. Heart carefully - slightly open the door ... Sweet ... and anxious .... If you want - believe ... Do not believe ...
