According to the folk calendar, April 13 is the day of Hypacius the Wonderful, the Orthodox Church remembers Saint Hypatia, bishop of Gangra in Asia Minor. In 325, he participated in the Council of Nicaea, which established the basic principles of Christianity. As Hypatius was returning home, he was attacked by the schismatics’ followers. They beat the bishop with stakes and stones and threw him into a swamp.

Panels:
The more transparent the clouds, the calmer the weather, but it can also rain. If it drizzles in the morning that day, the summer will be rainy. In the morning, the fog rises, forming clouds – to rain, and if it falls to the ground – to dry weather. If lightning strikes in early spring and no thunder is heard, it is a dry summer. Sunny day – wait a long time for warming. Rain in the morning – summer will also be wet. Water runs and foams – expect some rain. Maple and birch sap stand out – wait for the warming. If the birds that arrived from the south do not chirp for a long time, the cold will persist. Migratory birds flow in flocks – to a friendly source. If spring is early and warm, they begin to sow spring crops. If the birch sap is tasteless, the harvest of bread will be good. If today is clear and sunny, a hot summer is coming. Smoke from the chimney is like a seesaw – it will heat up. The wind decreases and visibility improves – there will be frosts.
