January 29-Petrov Day or Peter-Parting. The weather «on the further», they say, you can determine
Krympress reports:
January 29 — Day of worshiping chains (Verigami) of the Apostle Peter. Christians recall the biblical event: during the period of persecution of the Christians of the Apostle Peter, they arrested and, by order of Tsar Herod, Agrippes were put in prison, shackled in iron chains. At night, an angel appeared to the apostle, miraculously took off the Verigs and led Peter out of imprisonment. Later, these chains found the first Christians and began to store them as a sacred relic and evidence of a miracle.
According to folk beliefs, today-Peter-half-feed. In Rus’, it was believed that this day was divided into two parts in the winter: its first half had already ended, and with it, half of all the food and reserves and reserves left. And then doubts began-will the remaining supplies be enough until spring, will they be spoiled, and how much the cold will be dragged? That is why on January 29, weather signs were especially reverent. And they are as follows:
- The blizzard is a blizzard — the summer will be rainy.
- North wind for Peter’s Day — wait for cooling and frost.
- The day is frosty — the summer will be hot and dry.
- They say that the ice breaks on Peter. But January 29, as a rule, is characterized by severe frosts. On this occasion they said: «On this day, frost and iron tears, and it beats birds on the fly.»
- There is snow on Peter — there will be a lot of grass on the meadows. In addition, you can expect successful fishing in the warm season.
- The blizzard began — there will be a cold and rainy summer, but the fish will not be caught.
- If at sunset on January 29 the sun is painted red — the next day it is worth expecting frosty but sunny weather.
- A bright month with steep horns on January 29 portends a light and pleasant frost.
