February 22 — St. Pankrati's Day. And make your gift to the cat!

Krympress reports:

On February 22, we honor the memory of the recluse and ascetic Pankrati Pechersky, who lived in the 13th century. The legend says that with his house he chose caves, where he lived in prayers all his life.

The people believed that today is the same February day on which a miracle could happen, and the weather will suddenly replace its winter character to spring. They said: «Pankrat adds water, March collects.» And our ancestors now weaved bast shoes from bast and linen. Preparing for the spring. Moreover, exclusively men did this exclusively. And there was a lot of such shoes, because it wear out quickly — 2 pairs per week in one person.

And our ancestors looked at this day with caution: from February 22, a difficult time was advancing for the peasants, because the grocery reserves came to an end — «Pankrat in the bins is not rich.»

Weather signs of today’s day are as follows:

• The next 7 days after February 22 are cold — March will be warm and sunny.
• On the trees, the snow sticks out — wait for the soon warming.
• Bagryan sunset — to snowfall.
• Feeling and dark night — winters will end soon.
• The thaw all day — winter will not leave for a very long time.
