question "Why can not a monthly go to church?"controversial and ambiguous.In the Orthodox Church, unlike the Catholic Church, it is still no logical answer.Theologians can not come to a consensus as possible, and do not try to do that.Here, for example, Catholics have long dotted all the "i": in their view, any time of the month can not be a prohibition for women to visit the temple when it need be.But in our case, this topic will long remain controversial.
Why not to go to church monthly in Russia?On the one hand, the reason is clear enough, but on the other - is not convincing, because it causes more questions than answers.The point here is not in any bans women from visiting churches and temples.Everything is much easier than you think!Temple - this is not the place where blood is shed.It's hard to explain, but we will try.The fact is, in the church committed a bloodless sacrifice, because the blood of Christ in the temple symbolizes the red wine.This is no accident.The Church does not accept within its walls real human blood shed here because it polluted the sanctuary!In this case, the father is forced to consecrate a new church.
seems to be the explanation, why not to go to church monthly, it sounds reasonable, because we all know that man, cut in the temple whatever the subject, must leave it and stop the bleeding beyond.But this explanation can not be conclusive.Think for yourself, family and the birth of a child - is a natural process, that the church is not only approved, but also blessed.Hence, the natural cleansing of the female body, which occurs on a monthly basis, not a disgusting sight of God!
So it is still possible or not?
Dear readers!For me it was a great discovery to find out the reason why today you can visit temples during the critical days!People who say this, point directly to the miraculous tampons and pads that prevent direct the flow of blood discharge.From this they conclude that there are no obstacles in visiting temples such women.
very same Orthodox Church does not comment on this situation.I listened to this view only because of disputes about the temple during a happy Easter.After the holidays, as they say, they do not choose, and on the night of the Passover, many Orthodox women want to be present in the temple for worship.What if they have critical days?Well, they are now ordered the road to the church?It is not right!So come to the aid of feminine hygiene products.I think everyone here is quite logical.Anyway, no matter how many versions exist, why can not a monthly go to church, or on the contrary, why you can, all of them must be respected.And you can definitely say that women are allowed to enter the temple, whenever it pleases them.It is that during menstruation should be safe tampons or pads!
general in the Slavic Orthodox traditions contain a lot of these disputes and moments.Just wanted to say "invented themselves - and torture."If you still can not decide for themselves the question of participation in the life of the Church in the month, 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's nothing to be ashamed of.
