Why can not you go to church with the monthly? Probable causes are inconclusive!

The question "Why is it impossible to go with monthlyChurch? "controversial and ambiguous. The Orthodox Church, unlike the Catholic Church, still does not have a logical answer. Theologians can not come to a common opinion, and perhaps they don’t try to do it. For example, Catholics have long been put all the dots above "and": in their opinion, no critical days can serve as a prohibition for a woman to visit the temple when she needs it.

But in our case this topic will remain controversial for a long time.

Why it is impossible to go to church with monthly in Russia?On the one hand, the reason is quite understandable, but on the other, it is not convincing, since it raises more questions than answers. The point here is not at all in any bans on women visiting churches and temples. Everything is much easier than you think! A temple is not a place where blood is shed. It's hard to explain, but we will try. The fact is, in the church only bloodless sacrifices are made, since the blood of Christ in the temple is symbolized by red wine. And this is not by chance. The church does not accept real human blood in its walls, because its spill here defiles the shrine! In this case, the priest is forced to consecrate the temple in a new way.

It would seem an explanation почему нельзя с месячными ходить в церковь, it sounds reasonable, because everyone knows that a person who has cut himself in a temple with this or that object must necessarily leave it and stop the blood outside. But this explanation cannot be convincing. Think yourself, the creation of a family and the birth of a child are natural processes that are not only approved by the church, but also blessed. Hence, the natural cleansing of the female body, which takes place monthly, is not vile before the eyes of God!

So it is still possible or not?

Dear readers!It was a great discovery for me to find out the reason why today you can visit temples during critical days! People claiming this point directly to miraculous tampons and pads that prevent the flow of blood to flow directly. From this they conclude that there are no obstacles for such women to attend temples.

The very same Orthodox church this situation is notcommented. I listened to this opinion only because of arguments about visiting the temple during the bright holiday of Easter. After all, the holidays, as they say, do not choose, and on the night of Easter many Orthodox women want to be present in the church at the service. And what if they have critical days? Well, they now ordered the road to the church? It is not right! That comes to the aid of feminine hygiene. In my opinion, everything here is quite logical. In any case, no matter how many versions exist, why it is impossible to go to church with the monthly, or, on the contrary, why it is possible, all of them must be respected. And you can definitely say that women are allowed to enter the temple whenever they please. Unless during monthly it is worth being reinsured with tampons or laying!

Generally in the Slavic traditions of OrthodoxyThere are many such controversial situations and moments. So I want to say: "We invented ourselves - we ourselves and suffer." If you still cannot solve for yourself the question of participation in the life of the church during your period, then consult with the priest. I think the holy fathers of the church will be able to help you. The main thing - do not hesitate, because there is nothing shameful.
