In the Orthodox Church, on March 29, the memory of three martyrs is honored: Pope, Trofim and Savvin. On this day, it was customary to go around the village by cart (but not by sleigh) in order to attract good fortune. Thus, the day received its second name – Telezhny.
What you should not do:
You cannot lift a heavy load. You cannot drive a sled. You cannot eat bread on March 29 after sunset. You can spend a year in poverty. You cannot lend money. You cannot light a fire, it can attract the attention of dark forces. You cannot transplant flowers and plant trees, they will not grow and die. You cannot commit to the move, it is better to postpone until the next day. You cannot argue, swear and work things out with your loved ones and not only.
Panels:
If this day is warm, spring will be warm. The day turned out to be hot – to a warm, clear spring. Clouds float high in a clear sky – to heat. The sun breaks through the dark clouds – soon it will rain. The snow is melting quickly, streams are flowing everywhere – wait for a wet summer. Crows and sparrows bathe in puddles – for warmth. The snow melts simultaneously on the northern and southern sides of the anthill – the summer will be unusually hot and long. If the ice melts quickly – to a good year. If the ice does not move along the lakes and backwaters, but goes to the bottom, the year will be lean. Melts early – does not grow for a long time. If this day is warm, spring will be warm. Clouds are moving fast and high – in good weather. If the spring water flows slowly, the year will be difficult. The sun’s rays of different colors – to rain. Hares did not change color from white to gray – in persistent cold weather. Flocks of migrating birds circle overhead – soon everything will dry up and the snow will melt.
