April 3 — Kirill Katanik. Wake up water with a mermaid
Krympress reports:
The day is named by the name of St. Cyril, the bishop of the city of skating in Sicily, who lived at the turn of the I — II centuries.
The people reinvented the date, putting it in these 24 hours and the other meaning: so on April 3 was Kirill Katanika during the day of the children, in which the children said goodbye to the main winter fun — skiing on a sleigh. They were cleaned, put in order, dried and cleaned before the onset of the next cold weather. At the same time, they said: «Even though a roar, even screamed with a scream, and after the catanya does not get a sled.»

And today, our Slavic ancestors celebrated Vodopol. Sometimes this triumph was also called a reinforced, day of water or named after water, and sometimes Nikita with a waterfall. But there was only one meaning — the awakening of mermaids, water and all water living creatures from winter hibernation noted.
It was believed that for a long cold winter, grandfather-Vodiana was hungry and weakened, so the fishermen came to the shores on April 3 and treated the spirit of water. Thus, they welcomed his awakening, and set fire to the upcoming «water» season.
