On this day, the Church and Orthodox believers honor the memory of Theophanes the Confessor, chronicler and monk of Byzantium.
On Theophan’s Day, the peasants continued to celebrate spring and actively observed the surrounding natural phenomena. According to them, they determined the weather several days or even months in advance and judged the future harvest.
Folk omens for March 25.
If it rained on Feofan, then in the fall there will be a large harvest of rye.
The fog lifts on March 25 until the impending rain. The drizzle has descended – on a clear sunny day.
The beginning of spring has come – to a rainy and rainy summer. Late – you can no longer be afraid of frost.
If the trees of Feofan are still covered with frost, then in June there will be few sunny days.
The weather was also predicted by the animals that surrounded the people: moose, wild boars and hares left their usual places for the high places – the flood would be very strong.
