On which finger is the Save and Save ring worn — How to correctly

Rings are the most pop­u­lar group of acces­sories used to attract atten­tion and com­plete the style of the cre­at­ed image. Women and men have long been dec­o­rat­ing their fin­gers with thin or wide rings with orna­ments, stones or engrav­ings. But there is a kind of rings that can­not be called just jew­el­ry. Their main func­tion is pro­tec­tion. About what it means, how it appeared, how it works, how to wear the “Save and Save” ring cor­rect­ly, we will tell in this arti­cle.

Why wear the “Save and Save” ring

The phrase “Save and Pre­serve” is not just a com­bi­na­tion of words. This is a prayer with which believ­ers turn to the Almighty with a request for pro­tec­tion from trou­bles and for the sal­va­tion of the soul. These words have an invis­i­ble divine gra­cious pow­er. Such an inscrip­tion is a mes­sage to the Uni­verse.

Putting on such a ring, a per­son finds a men­tor on the path of life. Such prod­ucts pro­tect peo­ple from bad thoughts and sin­ful thoughts. Many priests say that they pro­tect from the dan­gers of the out­side world and cleanse the mind from evil. Accord­ing to their inner and spir­i­tu­al strength, they are iden­ti­fied with icons and pec­toral cross­es.

Any believ­er can wear such a ring, regard­less of age, nation­al­i­ty and skin col­or. The main thing is that he be Ortho­dox.

On which finger is it customary to wear the “Save and Save” ring?

This jew­el­ry has an ancient his­to­ry. Dur­ing the Byzan­tine era, it was pop­u­lar with pil­grims and mer­chants. In ancient Byzan­tium, it was believed that prod­ucts with this inscrip­tion were endowed with pow­er­ful pow­er. They are able to pro­tect the own­er from the evil eye and dam­age. They were made by novices and sold at a sym­bol­ic price, and all pro­ceeds went to the devel­op­ment of tem­ples.

The first men­tion of how to wear the “Save and Pre­serve” ring is in Gen­e­sis chap­ter 41, vers­es 41:42. It speaks of Joseph, a Jew­ish youth who ingra­ti­at­ed him­self with the Egypt­ian pharaoh and received a pre­cious ring. In ancient Egypt, it was a sym­bol of pow­er. All orders and deci­sions of the rulers were addi­tion­al­ly sealed with a ring with such an engrav­ing.

Thanks to Joseph, who was sold into slav­ery in Egypt, the Jews adopt­ed the tra­di­tion of wear­ing “Save and Save” rings as a sign of spe­cial sta­tus on the ring fin­ger.

As for the sym­bol­ic mean­ing, in the writ­ing of the prophet Jere­mi­ah, vers­es 22:24, it is said about the king of Judah Jehun, who, in order to be clos­er to God, wore this dec­o­ra­tion on his right hand.

Dur­ing one of his earth­ly min­istry, Jesus Christ told peo­ple the para­ble of the prodi­gal son who returned to his father from a shame­ful wan­der­ing. The father ordered to bring the best clothes, shoes to his son and put in his hand an expen­sive ring “Save and Pre­serve” (Luke 15:22). This tes­ti­fied to the father’s love for the prodi­gal son, as well as to the recog­ni­tion of his per­son­al dig­ni­ty. Such a ges­ture spoke of the restora­tion of the young man to the sta­tus of a full mem­ber of the fam­i­ly.

These and oth­er bib­li­cal exam­ples prove the cor­rect use of this jew­el­ry as an Ortho­dox acces­so­ry.

Many years lat­er, church rings with the text “Save and Save” began to be worn as wed­ding rings. In many coun­tries of the world, it is con­sid­ered a pow­er­ful tal­is­man of mar­riage.

Where to wear the “Save and Preserve” ring?

There are no strict canons regard­ing the use of this creed. How­ev­er, the cler­gy give some advice on this mat­ter. On which fin­ger the “Save and Save” ring should be worn does not mat­ter.

But the first and key rule is that the own­er of this prod­uct must believe in the Almighty and that there is a spe­cial pow­er that can pro­tect him in any sit­u­a­tion. Only then does this ring have val­ue, oth­er­wise it will lose its pow­er.

The sec­ond rule, which con­cerns which fin­ger the “Save and Save” ring is worn on, is a dif­fer­ence in Catholic and Ortho­dox reli­gious rit­u­als. The Ortho­dox are bap­tized with the right hand. It is cor­rect to put this ring on the mid­dle, thumb or index fin­ger of the right hand. It is believed that this enhances its effect.

On which finger do women and men wear the “Save and Save” ring?

There are both male and female mod­els of this acces­so­ry. Which side of the Save and Pre­serve ring should be worn depends on its func­tion.

If this is a charm, then the inscrip­tion should be out­side, a sym­bol of spir­i­tu­al belong­ing — the phrase should be addressed to the own­er, that is, be inside.

Regard­ing whether it is pos­si­ble to wear the “Save and Save” ring unmar­ried, the cler­gy remind that it is a sym­bol of faith, so mar­i­tal sta­tus does not real­ly mat­ter.

If such a ring is cho­sen by the spous­es as an engage­ment ring, then it should be worn on the fin­ger on which it was worn dur­ing the wed­ding.

Men who are mar­ried not only accord­ing to the laws of soci­ety, but also before God, can wear such rings on one hand along with wed­ding rings. If a per­son is not mar­ried or has recent­ly dis­solved, they should not wear the “Save and Save” ring on the ring fin­ger. This is con­sid­ered a great sin. The same rule applies to those who are not mar­ried.

On which finger is it better to wear the “Save and Save” ring?

The answer to this ques­tion also depends on the design of this jew­el­ry and who wears it.

It can be a great gift for a child who is about to be bap­tized, and for an adult who often encoun­ters trou­bles or obsta­cles along the way.

The mate­r­i­al of the jew­el­ry plays a role in which fin­ger peo­ple put on the “Save and Save” ring. The first reli­gious prod­ucts were made from impro­vised means — sim­ple wood or met­al.

Recent­ly, gold has become an increas­ing­ly pop­u­lar and pop­u­lar mate­r­i­al for mak­ing jew­el­ry. But for the man­u­fac­ture of this jew­el­ry all over the world it is rec­om­mend­ed to use sil­ver. This met­al not only attracts atten­tion with its beau­ty, but also has spe­cial heal­ing prop­er­ties:

• pro­tects the human body from the effects of the exter­nal envi­ron­ment;

• strength­ens the immune sys­tem;

• ben­e­fi­cial effect on the diges­tive sys­tem and res­pi­ra­to­ry organs.
  

Can I wear two Save and Save rings?

Accord­ing to church Ortho­dox canons, only male cler­gy­men are allowed to wear sev­er­al of these dec­o­ra­tions.

Since in the Ortho­dox reli­gion the right side is con­sid­ered close to the Lord, it is with the right hand with a ring with a prayer that believ­ers over­shad­ow them­selves with the sign of the cross.

Wear­ing on the left hand is allowed for prayer for pro­tec­tion from the evil one. It is also allowed to wear this attribute around the neck, but not on a chain that already has a cross or oth­er acces­sories. It is desir­able that it be a sep­a­rate sil­ver chain or leather cord.

Now you know on which hand the “Save and Save” ring is worn, but do not for­get that:

• like any amulet or tal­is­man, this prod­uct must be exclu­sive­ly indi­vid­ual;

• it is not rec­om­mend­ed to give it to oth­er peo­ple, and even more so — to sell it;

• if you want to give some­one such a ring as a gift, it should not be yours or some­one else’s, but brand new;

• it should not have any dec­o­ra­tions, stones and oth­er inscrip­tions;

• before you start wear­ing it, it is advis­able to con­se­crate it in the church;

• with the con­stant wear­ing of such a tal­is­man, you need to pray dai­ly for the sal­va­tion of your soul and body;

• try to put it on so that the inscrip­tion “Save and Save” is vis­i­ble, with the excep­tion of the inter­nal engrav­ing;

• it is allowed to use these dec­o­ra­tions as wed­ding dec­o­ra­tions only if the cou­ple decid­ed to get mar­ried in a church;

• if the donat­ed “Save and Save” ring does not fit you, you can increase or decrease it into a mas­ter, but after that, be sure to con­se­crate it again.

• if sud­den­ly the “Save and Save” ring turned black, it means that it took away prob­lems and ill­ness­es. There­fore, it must be cleansed and re-con­se­crat­ed in the church.

Often women wear two engraved rings on one fin­ger. One is from the engage­ment, the sec­ond is the engage­ment. There are 2 oppos­ing views on this:

1. When a man pro­pos­es to his beloved, he puts an engage­ment ring on her ring fin­ger. On top of it at the wed­ding cer­e­mo­ny — engage­ment. It is believed that two pieces of jew­el­ry will bring hap­pi­ness and a last­ing union to the new­ly­weds. The wife has to wear two acces­sories all her life in order to main­tain a hap­py mar­riage;

2. in some coun­tries, it is believed that after the wed­ding, the bride must take off the jew­el­ry that she was wear­ing for the engage­ment and put it in the box. If a cou­ple has a boy, then he is giv­en an engage­ment ring with his girl­friend. Wear­ing two prod­ucts is con­sid­ered bad luck, it can destroy a mar­riage due to male infi­deli­ty.
   

Which of these state­ments to believe is up to you. The main thing is that the own­er of this ring should have good thoughts that tend to mate­ri­al­ize.
