CrimeaPRESS reports:
According to popular belief, on February 17, the temperature always drops, even to the point of severe frost, and this fact was called in Rus’ “Nikolsky frosts.” Often in their “anger” they were not inferior to the famous “Epiphany”. People said: “It’s a cold day — put on your fur coat again”; “A mountain of snow will fall on Icy Nikola.” Nikola Studeny himself, who was remembered with kind words on this day, being an abbot and a Greek confessor, was famous for the gift of healing. It is believed that if you pray to the Saint today, he will definitely help you get rid of illnesses.
The weather, of course, was determined on that day, but there were few signs of this kind:
- The forest turned black on February 17 — wait for the thaw.
- On the full moon on Nikola there are many hares in the forest.
- Spruce branches bend towards the bottom — there will be snow. And if the branches are facing upward, expect a clear day.
But the birthday people are celebrated today: Alexander, Alexey, Andrey, Anna, Arkady, Boris, Vasily, Georgy, Dmitry, Ekaterina, Ivan, Joseph, Kirill, Mikhail, Nikolay, Peter, Sergey, Fedor, Yuri.
AND! On February 17, the whole world celebrates an amazing celebration — Spontaneous Kindness Day! The holiday was established in 1988 in Tokyo, by decision of social activists at the first conference of the World Kindness Movement. Japan, Australia, Great Britain, USA, Canada, Singapore and Thailand have signed up to the fact that such a date must be included in the calendar. Later, other countries joined the movement.
So: be kind today and warm at least one little heart with your warmth! The universe will definitely celebrate your action!
