April 6 — day Zakhara and Yakov, as well as the eve of the Annunciation
Krympress reports:
The Church venerates the memory of the saints Zakhar and Jacob. Also, this day was called Artemy and Zakhary by Postnik. At the same time, on April 6, the people were actively preparing for the holiday of the Annunciation. They prayed in churches, attended prisons to distribute the hotels to prisoners. The evening was mandatory.
And on this day they arranged a lot of cleaning in the house. Be sure to fumigate winter clothes and homemade utensils with herbs. Juniper, in particular. They believed that such a measure would protect themselves from the evil eye. Evil spirits also drove — burned old straw beds. In addition, in order to get rid of undead, they burned bonfires and went around the hut circles.
Weather signs for today are as follows:
- Isn’t it cold at night? Spring will be early.
- Snow melted to the Annunciation — this year there will be no more snowfall.
- It warmed on the street — to frost, but for a long time they will not last, and the summer will come soon.
