On this day, the Orthodox remember Antipas of Pergamum, a disciple of John the Theologian. The pagans forced Antipas to stop preaching about Christ, but he refused. For this, he was thrown into a red-hot copper ox in the temple of Artemis. The Christians buried the saint’s body secretly, and in the 5th century a temple was built over his grave. The relics of Antipas are revered as flowing with myrrh, and his tomb became a place of pilgrimage. Antipas’ people were considered healers of toothaches. Antipas was also called Vodogon – because the flood was at its peak.
What you should not do:
You cannot chop wood on this day, you cannot knit, sew and embroider on this day. You cannot wash the windows, otherwise the dark forces will bend over your house. It is impossible to do work in the garden on this day, according to the signs, whatever you sow will not take root. Pregnant women should not count money, you can lose everything. You can’t drink the tap water, otherwise you can get sick. You can’t scold children, even if they’ve had a big dirty trick.
Panels:
If the waters do not flow, wait for a late spring and a bad summer. Large clouds formed from small clouds, which have come together – expect a heavy downpour. The willow has bloomed – wait for the heat. If it rains, wait for the mushroom harvest. Frosts strike – there will be a very good harvest of milk mushrooms. In the morning, the sky is ruddy or slightly reddish – there will be wind or rain. Small clouds begin to grow – wait for rain from the south, and if they connect with each other, there will be a heavy downpour. Antip waterless – grainless bins. If the sun is shining on this day, and the frost is also caught in the morning, it means that the spring crops will grow well. Water for the second time spreads more abundantly than the first – wait, late seedlings will soon take root. If the willow has swollen, winter will definitely not return. If the lapwings are not visible at the start of the hollow water, it is worth the wait, as it is not a real flood. The snow that fell after the flood portends a poor harvest of winter crops. On this day you can treat a toothache, but you cannot pull teeth. If the sun is shining that day, warm weather is coming. The rabbit crossed the road – wait for happiness. In the house, the brownie has become active – which means that everything will be fine in this house. If the fish began to splash in the river, you need to go fishing urgently, there will be a good catch. The sun’s rays shine very brightly – for the future rain. If the hints of winter are felt on this day, the cold will recede and no longer come in the spring.
