CrimeaPRESS reports:
The day of Evdokia was also popularly called the day of Evdokia the Whistler and Avdotya Plyushchikha. It was said that strong whistling winds, characteristic only for spring, begin to blow. Meanwhile, the days were getting warmer.
The Church today honors the venerable martyr Evdokia. According to legend, having believed in Christ, she repented of all her sins, after which she decided to devote herself to God. She received a wondrous reward for such a step — the gift of healing diseases and even resurrecting the dead. But Evdokia did not live a long life: during the period of persecution, she was beheaded.
The weather today says:
- Sunny and warm? And the weather will be good all spring. And also a great harvest of cereals, mushrooms and pumpkin crops is coming.
- A gentle and warm wind is blowing — in summer there will be a lot of precipitation.

And on March 14, they celebrate the day of the mysterious number Pi, which has no end. It has always attracted mathematicians. Experts are sure: the Babylonian magicians discovered the number. Used in the construction of the Tower of Babel. However, they did not calculate everything thoroughly, which led to the collapse of the project.
The date of the celebration was not determined by chance — choosing a day, they started from the date recording system adopted in the United States, in which the month is written first, and then the day — 3/14.
Yes! The Pi-Day is celebrated as early as 1 hour 59 minutes and 26 seconds local time, which coincides with 3.1415926. And be sure to bake pies: after all, in a mirror image, the first digits of the number «Pi» — 3.14 — read as «PIE» (eng., — pie).
