In the twenty-first century, the commemoration is more reminiscent of the pagan feasts that the ancient Slavs did, hoping that the richer and more magnificent the farewell to the deceased, the better he would live in another world. There were considerations of vanity, prestige, the financial condition of the relatives of the deceased, as well as ignorance of Orthodox traditions in this action.

Wake on the 9th and 40th day is very important. According to Orthodox canons, until the 9th day after death, the angels show Paradise to the soul, and after that they bring the soul to God, so the show to the soul of Paradise ends. After that, until the 40th day, the soul is shown hell, where, seeing the torment of sinners, condemned to eternal torment, it is horrified and "weeps bitterly about her deeds."

Compliance with the norms in the Orthodox memorial meal requires that, before starting it, one of the relatives read the 17th kathisma from the Psalter in front of a lit icon lamp or candle. Immediately before eating, they read "Our Father ..."

Kutia and funeral pancakes are obligatory on the table.

Kutya

Traditional kutya is made from wheat grains, which are washed and soaked for several hours (or overnight), then boiled until tender. Boiled grains are mixed with honey, raisins, poppy seeds to taste. Honey can first be diluted in water in a ratio of 1/2 and boil wheat grains in the solution, then drain the solution. Rice kutya is prepared in the same way. brew crumbly rice, then diluted honey or sugar and raisins (washed, scalded and dried) are added to it.

Butter pancakes

4 cups flour, 4 cups milk, 3 eggs, 100 g cream, 1 tbsp. a spoonful of sugar, 25-30 g of yeast, 2 tbsp. tablespoons of butter, salt to taste. AT enamel pan pour two cups of flour, pour in two cups of warm milk, after diluting the yeast in it, mix everything well and put in a warm place. When the dough has risen, add the remaining warm milk, flour and put it in a warm place again. When it rises again, add beaten egg yolks, sugar, salt, melted butter.

For lean pancakes you will need: 4 cups of flour (buckwheat or wheat, you can mix both types of flour), 4.5 cups of milk, 20-25 g of yeast, salt to taste. Pour half a glass of warm milk into an enamel pan and dilute the yeast in it, add another one and a half glasses of milk. While stirring, add 2 cups of flour. Mix the dough well, cover the pan with a towel and put in a warm place. When the dough comes up (increases in volume by 2-3 times), add the rest of the flour, milk, salt to it, mix well and put it in a warm place again. After the dough rises again, you should bake pancakes, carefully scooping up the dough so that it does not fall off. The pan is usually first greased with one teaspoon of vegetable oil.
