Krympress reports:
On the day of Vlasia, the people were believed, the last three in the current winter for truly cold days begin.
This day has a great story: Vlasius, according to the teachings, is a holy martyr Vlasiy, Bishop of Sevastiy, who lived in the city of Sevastia in Asia Minor. Known for his righteous and pious life. With the advent of Christianity, the memory of the bishop began to be read on February 24. But it just so happened that traditionally, over the centuries, on this day our ancestors celebrated the day of the god Veles — the patron saint of livestock. And here … as usual … everything was mixed. The new calendar accepted the people, but reinvented it in his own way. Vlasia also began to be read as a patron saint of pets, and on February 24 to call a «cow holiday.» On this day they prayed for the stomachs and especially carefully looked after them. True, at the same time it was believed that fried meat on the table today is fortunately, so such a “love” of the owners for many animals ended in death. Only cows were not cut — she was the nurse of the whole family.
As for the weather, then:
- The thaw on February 24 — spring has come, and there will be no more cold days.
- From this day, the sun finally turns in the spring.
