- This is perhaps the most controversial issue. We have long been accustomed to the fact that in the homes of our grandmothers, great-grandmothers and parents, numerous portraits and general photographs of their ancestors and loved ones hung on the walls. In the old days, this was not considered something dangerous or reprehensible. But today there are a lot of ideas that photos of the deceased carry negative energy and can affect the health and fate of living people.
- First of all, let's talk about the portrait of a recently deceased person for the funeral procession. It should be a photo that both you and he liked. The portrait can be framed in a funeral photo frame or a black ribbon can be made on it in the lower right corner. After the burial, the portrait of the deceased must necessarily stand in his house for 40 days. What to do with the portrait later, it is up to his loved ones to decide
- If, after this time, the wound about the loss is still too fresh, then it is better to remove the photo until calmer times. If the relatives have already managed to survive their loss and have mastered their nerves, then the portrait can be placed in the living room or another room, except for the bedroom
Photos of deceased relatives in the house - the opinion of the church
- The Orthodox Church sees nothing wrong with the fact that photographs of deceased relatives were in the home of their relatives. Before God, we are all equal - dead and alive
- Therefore, photographs of close people, especially loved ones and loving ones, can only bring a bunch of pleasant memories and fill the heart with purity and love. If the loss is too heavy, then at first it is better to remove the photo out of sight. But there is absolutely no need to get rid of it forever. The time will come when the appearance of the departed will begin to blur and gradually disappear from the memory of a person - then his photo will come to the rescue.
- It is also better to hide for a while a photograph of a deceased person, for whom there is a resentment or misunderstanding. After a certain period, all negative emotions will recede into the background, and then you can contemplate your loved one with a pure heart
