Currently, such concepts as "godfather", "godfather" are considered obsolete. With the departure from daily life of religion, the once natural relationships between people are also forgotten.
If you ask a random passerby: "Who is godfather?" rarely get the right answer. And the word "kuma" almost irrevocably changed its meaning and became associated with cunning and narrow-mindedness.
In fact, the godfather is the godfather, and the godmother is the godmother of the child. In the past, they were very close people to him, practically relatives.
The godparents had the duty to help the child grow up spiritually and morally developed. And they were responsible for this before God. Therefore, the advice of godfathers was listened to, they were respected people in the child's family.
In the understanding of the people of those times, "nepotism" was perceived as a spiritual relationship. Godparents were considered intermediaries between God and the child. It is today that many do not know who the godfather is, but earlier this word was called a very close person.
In Russia there was a proverb: "Spiritual kinship is more than carnal". The church forbade marriages not only between godfathers, but also between godfathers -the father of the child, godfather - the mother of the child. And not only in the first, but also in the second generation of families, such connections were not approved.
Those who were brought together by spiritual kinship were not allowed to marry. Because morality was placed above bodily pleasures.
Intimate relationships in spiritual kinship were perceived as "incest". After all, these people at the rite of baptism before God renounced Satan for the child. It was believed that having entered into carnal relations, they themselves went into the clutches of the devil, and even dragged the child along with them. But man is weak, and anything has happened. Hence the proverb: "Godfather and godfather one Satan."
Godparents had a special role at weddings. They were consulted about the choice of a couple, they blessed the young.
Today, few people guess who the godfather is. But before that, it was he who put on the child during the rite of baptism a cross with which a person did not part all his life.
Today, many concepts of morality and spirituality have been perverted or lost their former significance. The institution of nepotism has also disappeared as unnecessary.
People of the older generation still remember the echoes of a respectful attitude towards godparents. But even among them, few know for sure who the godfather is. Because already at that time few people were baptized. Moreover, for a long time in our history, such a rite was considered asocial, was banned.
Today, the erroneous belief that the mother-in-law is the godfather of the mother-in-law, and vice versa, is more common. The same is true in the male hierarchy: "Who is a godfather? Thisthe father of the guy my daughter married." And about the fact that there were no ties between them … In our time, unfortunately, everything is possible.
Dream books always reflect the deep psychological attitudes of a person. So, in most of them, the godfather is associated with a feeling of annoyance, with a scandal. And Kuma - with gossip and cunning.
Here, in this way, the concept of nepotism, which was bright in Russia, degraded. But no matter how history mocks the Russian people, the people basically remain moral. And there are more and more believers.
