CrimeaPRESS reports:
Or — Day of the Archangel Gabriel. He is revered in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. In Rus’, Gabriel was given the name Blagovest, because it was he who announced the birth of Jesus to Mary.
But, by the way, our ancestors believed: everything that is born on April 8 will definitely be ugly. They said: “What was born on the day of Gabriel is terrible and ugly.” Why? History is silent about this. During these days we tried not to do anything important, not to create anything. Because they were sure that even the yarn woven today would not turn out good.
At the same time, however, work in the garden was not prohibited. The peasants began to plant tomatoes, zucchini, pumpkins, beans, melons, and watermelons.
Regarding weather signs:
- The bird cherry tree has bloomed — potatoes can be planted.
- The weather on April 8 speaks about the weather on October 8.
- There is still snow on the roofs — it will not melt in the next 30 days.
- Bright sunrise — there will be no more snow.
- Frost? Spring will be cold, and summer will not come soon.
