Yes! On February 14, according to popular belief, in Rus’ they celebrated the Day of St. Tryphon — the patron saint of all people, spouses and families in love with each other! This is the Russian “colleague” of the famous Catholic Saint Valentine. So, if someone tells you today that “looking sideways at the West and celebrating their holidays is fu-fu», enlighten them! Tell us about Saint Tryphon. And, you see, the fact that two celebrations of the same meaning, belonging to different traditions, are celebrated on the same day, February 14, says a lot: we live in a single world in which, one way or another, many basic points related to human values overlap. Don’t forget this.
By the way, in Rus’, weddings were held on St. Tryphon’s Day — after all, Great Lent is ahead, with which all sorts of restrictions will come into life.
And on February 14 they called Tryphon-Frost or Tryphon-Winterwinter. And, of course, we actively monitored the weather today. They believed that what it would be like on Tryphon would be like that throughout the spring.
- The skies are covered with foggy clouds in the evening — the weather will be fine in the coming days.
- The sky is filled with stars — spring will not come soon.
- It’s warm on Tryphon – the next 30 days will also be warm.
- It started snowing — rains will be frequent in the spring.
- Frosty day — spring will be cold and late.
- A windless and warm day means spring will also be warm and early.
- There is fog in the evening — it will be warm in the morning.
- There are a lot of supplies left in the bins by February 14th — wait for the harvest.
- The stars are falling — spring will be warm.
People believed that on February 14, even birds find a mate. In this regard, maiden fortune telling was very popular:
- if you meet a couple of titmice on the way, then your betrothed will be young, cheerful and kind;
- see a crow — your husband will be an elderly and very strict person;
- a couple of magpies will cross your path — the betrothed will be frivolous and talkative.
Besides:
- if on February 14 a married woman throws a bouquet of flowers into a pond on which there is almost no ice and prays to the sky, then she will soon be able to get pregnant;
- if lovers take an oath of fidelity on this day, they will not be afraid of any temptations or obstacles;
- marriage to Tryphon is a good sign.
Who celebrates their name day on such a wonderful day? Gabriel, David, Vasily, Semyon, Peter, Nikolai and Timofey. Of course, if there are Tryphons and Valentinas in your circle, then you must also congratulate them!
As for the wonderful holiday called Disting (its homeland is Sweden). This very bright and promising great pagan celebration is dedicated to the victory of the light of the Sun over the dark days of winter. Heralds the awakening of vital forces that fell asleep during the Winter Night. It is believed that the earth is now actively preparing to receive new seeds. For a person, this period marks a symbolic time of preparation for future events.
AND!!! Here is another magical coincidence: Disting is a holiday in which traditions include organizing family celebrations with the exchange of gifts, making wedding vows and holding weddings! How do you like it? Saints Tryphon and Valentine are not alone today in their desire to unite loving hearts, right?
In general, February 14 is an interesting day. With meaning. And it is in your power to make it beautiful. Don’t miss the moment and be happy.
