Since time immemorial, Maundy Thursday has been a day of obligatory cleaning before Easter. But it is important to clean according to the rules.

What to consider

Cleaning begins only in physical cleanliness. The whole family should bathe before this. Moreover, the ablution should take place strictly before dawn. Then health will come.

To prevent astral dirt from getting stuck in the house, it is better to wash floors and windows with clean thoughts, without negativity in your head.

If there are a lot of unnecessary things, devices or clothes lying around the house, on Maundy Thursday you can safely give away all the excess to those in need or donate it to charity. The old will be replaced by the new.

Once you've finished tidying up, it's worth sprinkling all the corners of the rooms with holy water. This is the perfect final touch that will improve the family atmosphere, eliminate problems, and create a blissful aura.

Why it is unacceptable to celebrate Easter in the mud

This promises bad luck for the whole year ahead. Household disorder on Easter leads to confusion in life and conflicts.

If you don’t have time to do a general cleaning, you should at least wash the floor and windows, and also not leave trash, unwashed dishes, or unwashed clothes in the house.
