March 14 is Evdokia (Avdotya) Day. «Pi»… however

CrimeaPRESS reports:

Evdokia’s Day was also popularly called the day of Evdokia the Whistler and Avdotya Plyushchikha. They said that strong whistling winds, characteristic only of spring, were beginning to blow. At the same time, the days became 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 wonderful 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. An excellent harvest of grains, mushrooms and pumpkin crops is also coming.
• A gentle and warm wind blows — there will be a lot of precipitation in the summer.
• A warm day means a hot summer, and you can expect good haymaking.
• Rainy day — there will be a lot of bread.
• Thick fog means a rich harvest of legumes.
• Frosts on March 14 — buckwheat will not produce well.
• A snowstorm has begun — it will be cool all year.
• Cold on Avdotya — spring will come late and will be cold.
• Crows cawing loudly means warming.
• Ringing drops — wait for a hot summer.
• The wind blows from the west or south — expect a hot summer, and the wind from the north — expect a cold summer.

Name days are celebrated by: Alexander, Alexandra, Anna, Anton, Antonina, Vasily, Veniamin, Daria, Evdokia, Ivan, Mikhail, Nadezhda, Olga, Peter.

And on March 14th they celebrate the day of the mysterious number Pi, which has no end. It has always attracted mathematicians. Experts are confident that the number was discovered by Babylonian magicians. Used in the construction of the Tower of Babel. However, everything was not calculated thoroughly, which led to the collapse of the project.

The date of the celebration was not determined by chance — when choosing the day, we proceeded from the date recording system adopted in the USA, in which the month is written first, and then the day — 3/14.

Yes! The “Pi-day” begins to be celebrated at 1 hour 59 minutes and 26 seconds local time, which coincides with 3.1415926. And they definitely bake pies: after all, in a mirror image, the first digits of the number “Pi” are 3.14 — read as “PIE” (eng. — pie).
