At the same time, March 2 was considered a summer indicator and the weather was determined for the period from June to August. And on this day, for the first time in the last three months, cumulus clouds appeared in the sky.
The weather signs are:
- Fog in the morning — May will be cold.
- Cirrus clouds are floating from the western side — it will rain the next day.
- Black cumulus clouds in the morning — the first rain will be in March.
- Birds are returning from warmer climes — wait for early spring.
- If from the first days spring is wild and unshy, then it will deceive, there is nothing to believe.
As for Fyodor Tiron, who is the patron of today. He lived during the great persecution of Christians under Emperor Maximilian (about 305). He is known for being an active fighter for the Christian faith: he burned the temple of the goddess Cybele and zealously fought against the pagan gods. For which he suffered — he was sentenced to be burned and went to the stake himself.
People prayed to Fyodor Tiron to find stolen things and missing people. Our ancestors also believed that the great martyr protected the house from thieves. In Rus’, however, he was assigned an assistant — a spirit living behind the stove. His name was Vostrukha and they believed that he could detect any rustle and warn the owners about uninvited guests. The spirit was respected by people, he was diligently thanked for his assistance. The food and drink was delicious: they served pies, sugar, and milk.
