March 12 is Prokop-Perezimnik Day. Goodbye winter?
CrimeaPRESS reports:
On Prokop-Perezimnik Day, people believed that winter finally gives way to spring! Prokop was also called “Road Destroyer” and “Road Digger” — the sun was getting warmer and more and more muddy conditions began.
In the church calendar, on this day the memory of St. Procopius Dekapolit is venerated. He lived in the 8th century. Famous for his purity of soul and ascetic lifestyle.
The signs for March 12 are mostly not related to the weather:
- On this day, the buds on the willow will swell — you can expect a rich harvest. If the willow blossoms from the middle, there is no need to hope for the first shoots.
- Snowdrops have appeared — it’s time to start field work.
- The willow is blooming — a sign that it is time to sow.
- The buds are swelling — wait for warmer weather.
Name days are celebrated today: at Makar, Mikhail, Nison, Peter, Prokop, Sergei, Stepan, Timofey, Julian, Yakov.
Also remember: Prokopyev Day is unpredictable! Anything can happen — both good and bad. Open your home to family, friends and acquaintances. If you ask for something, give it, you can’t refuse. AND! When you go on the road, listen to your feelings! Easy and free? Go further — the path will be good. If you feel uneasy, it is better to postpone the trip. Dangerous.
