Fog in the morning – warm until the end of the month: folk signs for April 19

April 19, 2023

On this day, Orthodox believers and the Church honor the memory of the martyr Jeremiah of Rome and Saint Eutyches, Patriarch of Constantinople. Among the people, several useful signs are associated with the date.

The church holiday received among the people the nickname Eutychius Day or Eutychius Quiet. At that time, our ancestors tried to understand by external signs what the weather would be like until the end of April and next summer. To Rus’ they said: “If Eutychius is calm, then the harvest will be early.”

Folk omens for April 19.

Morning fog suggests there will be no rain until late April.

It started to rain in the morning – there will be a lot of mushrooms.

If the swallows have not yet arrived, the cold will certainly return.

If the ducks began to nest near the water itself, wait for the drought in the summer.

A strong wind on Eutychius heralds a lean year.
