July 30 — Day of Marina and Lazarus. Today is the time of lightning and ranges

Krympress reports:

Our ancestors believed: July 30 — the time of lightning and lightning, which portended drought and fires. Therefore, it was forbidden to look at the zipper or without a special need to leave the house on this day. In fact, the blue flashes of the ranges were a harbinger of thunderstorms, but the people on this subject were a beautiful legend:

• Once the princess Marina lived in the possessions of the sea tsar, who one day escaped from his father’s chambers to the ground. Since then, the father has been angry when he recalls the rebellious daughter, and pierces the sky with fiery arrows.

The Church today worships the memory of Lazar Galician — a Christian ascetic and a pillar that was born in Magnesia. In the monastery of St. Savva, he accepted monastic tonsure. For ten years, an educated and God -loving young man spent in the walls of the monastery. The Jerusalem Patriarch was ordained a presbyter, after which he returned to his homeland and settled on Mount Galicia. Here he built a temple in the name of the Resurrection of Christ and accepted the feat of pillarity. Soon, monks began to flock to the ascetic. So the monastery appeared. Lazarus received a revelation from the Lord about the imminent death, which he told the brethren. According to the slang prayer of the monks, the Almighty extended the life of the saint for another 15 years. Lazar died in 1053, at the age of 72 years. His body was buried in a pillar on which he performed monastic feats.

Signs for today are as follows:
