February 19 — Vukola's Day. Lit the word about whales and dolphins
Krympress reports:
On February 19, the Christian calendar was celebrated as the day of Vukol Smirnsky, who was famous for being the first bishop to serve in Asia Minor. Also, his merits include the fact that at one time he baptized many pagans.
The people paid little attention to subtle religious moments, and the calendar dates were adapted to their life way. So, from the day, the vukols were counted in the villages — the time of the hotel started. The peasants said: “Zhukols were born on Vukol” (calves who were born in February).
And the weather on February 19 was also, of course, predicted, but it would take a little:
- If the frost is cracking, spring will come very soon, and the summer will be without rains and very hot.
- Cold VUKOL carries the March heat.
- Frosty day — the summer will be good, and the crop of grains will be rich.
- Fog on this day — summer will be mushroom and productive for nuts.
Name things today note: Christina, Martha, Maria, Anatoly, Alexander, Arseny, Dmitry, Vasily, Ivan, Maxim, Julian, Sevastyan.
And on February 19, the world dates calendar are listed as the day of the protection of whales and dolphins. It was established in confirmation of the decision on the ban on the implementation of whale fishing, adopted in 1986. From that moment … officially … catching whales is allowed only for scientific purposes for Japan. However, unfortunately, the world is not without poachers, so both whales and dolphins continue to die. In addition … it seems like legitimate human activity … also makes its negative contribution to the lives of the inhabitants of the seas-oceans: oil production, for example, entails large losses of mammals. In contaminated water, animals simply cannot live.
