January 16 is the Day of Remembrance of the Prophet Malachi. And beware of the evil eye

CrimeaPRESS reports:

We’re not kidding. January 16 in the national calendar is listed not only as the Day of Remembrance of the Prophet Malachi, but also as the Day of the Holy Martyr Gordius. And the main message of these days is that you can’t brag about anything, otherwise Gordey will take everything away, and people will jinx it! Our ancestors, noting “proud people,” recalled sayings about pride, which has long been considered a vice: “To be proud is to be considered stupid,” “Satan was proud and fell from heaven!” And we are proud—what good are we?” — said the experts. So take off the crown — you will be safer.

As for the prophet Malachi, his name day is celebrated today. Many believed that only on January 16 could one be cured of demonic possession, epilepsy and other ailments that could be associated with hexing. It was believed that if you prayed to Saint Malachy, the disease would soon recede.

Whether you follow folk wisdom or not is up to you, but… it doesn’t hurt to listen, what if? By the way, for the festive dinner on January 16, our great-great-great-great-grandmothers prepared dishes from cottage cheese — cottage cheese cakes and cheesecakes. Such a treat was considered the key to happiness in the house.

Today’s weather signs are as follows:

• What will the weather be like on Malachi, so will the month of March be warm or cold?
• If fluffy frost is visible on the trees, then the coming days will be clear and no rain is expected
• If a large white cloud appears in the sky today, then snowstorms and blizzards will soon begin
• If it dawns early, it means it will snow soon
• If you hear the crackling of trees in the forest, then bitter frosts will soon strike
• If it snows all day on January 16, then severe frost will strike at night
• A bright month will bring cold weather soon
• If circles are visible around the setting sun, there will be snow and frost
• If the stars shine brightly, wait for clear weather

Who celebrates name day on January 16? Well, actually, those who received the ancient male names Gordius and Malachi at birth — are there any of these among your friends? And also Irina and Arina — don’t forget to congratulate the young ladies!
