All at least once heard that it was impossible to celebrate the anniversary date of 40 years or women nor men. What is it connected, and where did the superstitious fear come from? He was transferred to us by our superstitious grandmothers who were most afraid of planning to plan any celebration on this date.
Will the 40th anniversary of the woman celebrate the followers of the non-Christian religion? Most likely, the taboo on the holiday is connected exclusively with Christian world foreim. In our family, nobody celebrated the fortiethly because of the irrational fear.
You can risk and celebrate, no one will ban. But the inner voice quietly reminds: dangerous. Consider accepting in detail.
Mystic number 40.
This date is also afraid, like a leap year, but even more. The approximation of the cherished figure leads some women into a stupor, and they flatly refuse to arrange a gala dinner. Moreover: do not take gifts and refuse them in every possible way. This is how the British does not find a house under №13 and the same apartment: taboo on the number 13.
Prejudice before this date is connected with what:
- 40 weeks lasting pregnancy;
- Postpartum cleansing lasts exactly 40 days;
- The World Flood cleaned the land of exactly 40 days, all died, except Noah and his family;
- 40 days Jesus passed the test in the desert, where he was hungry and was tempted by the Devil;
- 40 days Christ was the Apostles after his resurrection;
- In ancient Greece, few people lived to 50 years, so the 40th anniversary was considered the last;
- According to the Orthodox tradition, it is 40 days later the soul of the deceased leaves the Earth.
The number 40 is weaved mysticism. Since it is largely associated with death, then celebrate and have fun at this date somehow disrespectful to the world of the dead. Many are simply confident that you can stick to your head on the fortieth anniversary.
Atheistic people neglected by popular beliefs, considering their misconceptions of illiterate people. But any beliefs arose not on empty soil, but are the fruit of centuries-old observations. So the taboo on the 40th anniversary also appeared as a result of observations and comparative analysis.
Old people say that if a woman celebrates its 40-year-old anniversary, she binds death to him, and her loved ones are waiting for diseases and troubles
You can not believe folk signs, but why risk? And who will be better from this? For example, if the daughter does not believe in the signs, it may be a mental injury to his superstitious mother or grandmother. Therefore, Orthodox people better miss this date from sin away, not to injure yourself and others.
What the Church says
Fathers of the church belong to this reference as heresy and do not associate the number 40 with some troubles and misfortunes. That is, folk traditions themselves, and church traditions themselves.
There is no consent between them, as is the consent of various divination and vorozhba. People exercises in the saccinous evenings, and this church does not approve. But who will listen to the church, if a centuries-old mystical fear is sitting in blood? Moreover, from the century to the century there are stories about sudden death after the celebration of the 40-year anniversary!
On a note! Christians fear also to celebrate 33 years, since Christ died at this age.
The very fact that for the 40th day commemorate the departed, does not leave people alone, and they superstitly face this fatal date. And what if someone will make it easy to damage the death on this day, comparing anniversary with commemoration?
Black sorcerers and witches are not dreed, and the enviousness of each person is excess. Therefore, it is better not to provoke the villains on damage and curse.
The fathers of the Church are trying to remind people that many light and good values are connected in the Bible with a number 40:
- 40 years - the time of the reign of King David;
- The Church of Solomon had 40 elbows in length;
- After his resurrection, Christ walked on Earth for 40 days and preached;
- After 40 days, Christ ascended to the father of heaven and sat on the throne.
But these arguments are much weaker than the superstitious fear of death, which sits deep in the subconscious.
What the astrology say
Astrolists have his own view on things based on the effects of the planets. They believe that the date of 40 years is a turning point in the fate of a person, and therefore in something dangerous.

All these moments may adversely affect a person, especially for a woman.

What are the psychics say
The number 40 symbolizes death in the Tarot system, and that says it all. Esoterics associate this number with funeral rites, so they do not advise the anniversary.
