For many, the loss of the cross is a bad omen , although in fact the words "sign" and "faith" are practically opposed to each other. In the church there are no bad signs, we invent them ourselves, transferring this "knowledge" from year to year and creating from this, perhaps, imaginary regularity an entire epic of fear and panic. For the church to lose a cross is not a sign, but an accident. After all, you wear it voluntarily, thus, showing love to God. How can the fact that the chain has worn off or the rope torn can affect your mutual love ? On the other hand, if it happened due to your fault - because of negligent attitude - then it is worthwhile to think first of all about whether you need to change something in your life. But, again, if the chain with a cross was torn - it's not a sign, it's a maximum sign, what you should pay attention to.
Significance of a sign
- Good value. There is also another opinion that losing a cross is a good sign. More precisely, even a good sign. With a lost cross you give a negative, some damage or even illness. That is why it is believed that finding someone else's cross is a sign that you can take away his troubles. If in all other questions the sources are slightly different, and you can always find and find information of the opposite plan, then about taking someone else's cross, they all converge as one - it will not lead to anything good.
- A broken cross. If the cross is broken - this is not an omen in anticipation of something bad, but you should be careful and know what to do after its breakdown. To throw a cross in a trash can is strictly forbidden - it is necessary to turn it into a church or
bury it where people and animals do not go. - The sign "The cross fell." Here everything is decided: whoever believes, is attracted to it. The cross falls not only because of superstitions, but also from the simplest physics, gravitation and other scientific phenomena.
- Note "Lose a cross". Of course, it's hard to stop thinking about the sign from above, if such an object as the consecrated cross falls, breaks, or if you managed, unfortunately, to lose the cross. But we do not recommend considering this phenomenon as a sign.
Remember that it is better to believe in God, and not in superstition. You do not prove your love by a cross, but simply express it. This is your decision and God will not punish, even if you stop wearing it altogether. The main thing is how you feel in reality and what you believe in.
