Instructions

1

Pay attention to the rules of matchmaking. Today, they are irrelevant in most cases, but in some families they still strictly adhere to customs and traditions regarding the marriage of children. Previously, the selection of the bride and groom engaged exclusively professional matchmakers, so this option, as a marriage of acquaintance and mutual love, was a rare and exceptional case. In addition, the wedding could be canceled for a variety of reasons, not related to the feelings of the groom and the bride to each other. The reason for the cancellation of the wedding was most often the absence of a dowry from the bride, the rumor of people, belonging to different social strata, the financial condition of the groom, the reputation of the bride. If these problems were not listed, the groom's parents began to prepare for the official matchmaking ritual.

The first stage of this ritual was a lookout. The alleged bride went out into the middle of the room and carried out all the instructions given to her by the groom's parents: showed skills in work on the au pair, walked around, joked, etc. To make a decision, matchmakers with the groom went out on the porch, where they discussed whether the bride suited them. If, after returning to the house, the groom drank a cup of hoped honey, presented by the mother of the bride, it meant consent to the wedding. After that, standard rituals began with the phrase "you have a product, we have a merchant", to which the bride's parents were to answer: "Swat to a girl is not a shame." If the groom did not touch the honey and put the goblet on the table full - the celebration was canceled.

Learn the "language" of the rite. The words inherent in the matchmaking process did not just appear. The fact is that before making the final decision about the wedding, the attempt to marry children was kept secret in order to avoid unwanted conversations in case of publicity. Therefore, the parents of the bride and groom tried to use encrypted phrases, which later became standard for this custom. Among them, "red goods", "young merchant", "cockerels", "chickens", etc. Here you can also include symbols of consent and refusal. If in Russia it was a cup with intoxicating honey, then, for example, in Spain the sign of the refusal of the bride served as a pumpkin or watermelon, which was brought to the doorway to the soviet.

Do not forget about the rules of modernity. If today traditional matchmaking is almost a thing of the past, echoes of traditions in preparation for the celebration still remain. Details of the wedding, guest list, restaurant, etc. To this day, are mainly discussed by the parents of the bride and groom. The financial side is also taken on by the parents. The groom, as a rule, seeks to receive the blessing or consent of the father of the bride - the tradition to ask for the "hand" of the daughter is still very popular. Many mothers to this day collect dowries for their daughters - towels, bed linens, dishes and other items that the newlyweds will need to create a home cosiness. The main difference between modern and traditional matchmaking is that the bride and groom usually choose their own candidates without resorting to the help of parents and professional matchmakers.

Tip 2: What is the "Roth Front"

In 1924, on the initiative of the Communist PartyGermany, an organization of working self-defense was created, known as the "Union of Red Front-line soldiers", later known as the "Rot Front". This union was the workers' response to the intensification of the activity of paramilitary paramilitary structures.

Union of Red Front-Line Workers: Workers' Self-Defense

The "Roth Front" was an alliance of Social Democrats,Communists and non-Party workers who have reached the age of twenty-three. For the youth there was the so-called "Red Youth Front". Both related and close by their goals union by the end of the 20-ies had in their ranks more than two hundred thousand members. Headed by the "Rot Front" is one of the leaders of the German communists Ernst Thalmann. Under his leadership, union cells were created at individual enterprises. The organization also had its own newspaper called the Red Front. Among the members of the Rot Front organization there was a special greeting. It consisted in pronouncing the name of the union, which was accompanied by a jaunty uplift of the right forearm with a fist clenched in the palm. The fist raised in this way was a symbol of the power of the working class, its steadfastness and strength, which was given by the unification of the workers. It was thanks to its unity that the "Roth Front" enjoyed wide popularity in the working environment. The tasks of the workers 'union were to protect workers' organizations from fascist thugs, maintain order during meetings, rallies and demonstrations. The "Roth Front" actively participated in exposing the militaristic plans of fascism that was born in Germany. In fact, the "Union of Red Front-Line soldiers" was the core of a united workers' front. In May 1929, the organization was banned, after which the union began to operate illegally, surviving until the establishment of the fascist regime in 1933.

"The Roth Front" and the present

Traditions of the labor movement in Germany foundReflection in modern Russian reality. In February 2010, left-wing activists announced the creation of a political party, known as the "ROT Front." The name uses the abbreviation, which stands for "The Russian United Labor Front." With the German "Union of Red Front-line soldiers" this organization unites not only consonance in the name, but also political goals. Before becoming an officially recognized association, the Russian "ROT Front" went through several refusals in registration. The Ministry of Justice of Russia was not in a hurry to give the left union the status of a political party, always looking for inconsistencies in the documents submitted to the requirements of the law. The official registration of the party of the left forces was completed only in early December 2012.
