Yes Yes! On January 22nd there is a chance to get this very invisible hat! Where and how? You can pick it up from Bannik (bath spirit). What should be done? Our ancestors voiced the algorithm of actions as follows:
- you need to be the last one to enter the bathhouse, put your cross under the sole of your left boot, sit down facing the wall and from the bottom of your heart begin to curse everything in the world. After this, according to beliefs, an old man will appear and hold out his hat.
However, they say that a miracle hat can be found just like that — sometimes the bathhouse spirit leaves it for good people.
People also believed: if on January 22 you leave a cat wrapped in a diaper in a bathhouse overnight, and then run away and cross yourself three times, the next morning you will have an irredeemable ruble!
In addition, on January 22, we took note of the weather. What it will be like today is how it will be in September.
Signs of the day:
- Traditionally, livestock was released into the yard on this day. If she did not stay outside for long and tried to return back under the roof, this foreshadowed severe cold.
- If it is clear on Eustratia, there will be a good harvest this year.
- There was a custom to go to the bathhouse — to “wash off the Christmastide”, i.e. cheerful holiday carelessness and start your daily workdays fresh and renewed. In general, a bathhouse in Russian traditional culture is a symbol of purification. If you wash yourself in the bathhouse, you will wash away all your ailments, heaviness and sorrows.
- There are a lot of crows circling in the sky — snow will fall.
- Jackdaws and crows are sitting in the snow — it will soon become warm.
- Crows gather in flocks and sit on the upper branches of trees — a sign of severe cold. Birds sit at the bottom of the trees — for clear weather.
- The cat climbs onto the stove, into the warmth — to frost. Lies down with its belly up — to the thaw. Sharpening its claws on wooden objects — the wind will blow. Drinking a lot of water means bad weather. Sleeps a lot — for warm weather.
- The dog lies curled up in a ball — to the cold.
Name days are celebrated today by: Antonina, Zakhar, Peter.
