Krympress reports:
And today is a holiday! Big. Section (meeting) is a celebration in which they have intertwined, as often happens in Rus’, two principles: pagan and Orthodox. In accordance with the original Slavic tradition, our ancestors believed that on February 15, Winter is “facing face to face” with spring. It is today that it is decided who to go forward, and to whom — to return. If it becomes warmer by the evening, spring argued the winter, and if it is colder — winter. And also:
- What is the weather for the meeting — such and spring will be.
- The thaw on this day is to early and warm spring.
- Snow for a meeting — spring will be protracted and rainy.
- The cold came on February 15 — spring will be cold.
- If the snow flows, then the bread will fail.
- Quiet and sunny weather — to a good harvest of flax.
- Drops in the Meeting — to the harvest of wheat, windy — to the harvest of fruits.
- If the sky is dotted on the eve of the Section, then spring will bloom later than usual.
- Clear and quiet weather on this day is a good harvest in the fields and bee growth.
- The wind is a bad sign.
- As on the racing from the roofs is dripping, there will be even more winter.
- As in the racing, there are icicles under the roofs — there will be a good corn crop.
- If on this day the sun is not visible — expect severe frosts.
As for the beliefs of the Orthodox and the creation of the Lord, the legend is as follows:
According to the Holy Scriptures, when the baby Jesus turned 40 days from the family, Maria and Joseph brought him to the temple. Devote to God. There they were met by the righteous elder Simeon — one of the educated people of his time. And according to legend, three hundred years before this event, translating the book of the Prophet Isaiah and reading the words “Severe Virgo in the womb and will give a son”, the saint thought that this was a description and instead of “Virgin” there should be a “wife”. Simeon decided to correct the text. But his hand was stopped by the angel of the Lord and promised him that he would not die until he would see the truth of the prophecy. And — yes! Simeon lived for about 300 years. When the parents brought to the temple of Jesus, the elder, by the suggestion of the Holy Spirit, saw the Savior of mankind in him. He took him in his arms and said: “Now you let go of your servant, Vladyko …” — the prediction came true and the elder could calmly die.
