Since ancient times, people believed that icons fall for a reason – it could be a warning.
There is a popular explanation of what a person should prepare for if an icon not only falls, but breaks.
What does a fallen icon mean?
According to legend, this does not bode well. But beliefs indicate that there is no need to rush to get upset.
The thing is that a fallen icon may simply warn a person that he or she needs to be careful. This is especially true on the eve of an important meeting or trip.
If the icon fell when no one was home, it means that misfortune awaits the owners. If it happened in the presence of a person, it indicates the need to cleanse the house of bad energy.
They say that if an icon falls face up, it is a sign that a person needs to repent. If this happens at night, the owner needs to get rid of obsessive thoughts, rest and take on the solution of pressing issues with a "rested head."
What does it mean if an icon breaks?
Signs say that a broken icon warns of illness or death of a relative in poor health. Also, some beliefs say that troubles are approaching the house.
As a rule, troubles in life are predicted by an icon that breaks when no one is at home.
