March 29 — Savvin or Cart Day
CrimeaPRESS reports:
The church on March 29 honors the memory of the martyr Savvinus of Ermopolis (Egyptian). Lived in the 3rd century. He suffered for his exceptional faith in Christianity — he was drowned in the river.
Among the people, this day was dedicated to inspecting carts. They were preparing them for the next spring-summer season. There was a custom: they harnessed a horse to a cart and drove to the outskirts and back to the house. It was believed that this path brings good luck in business for the summer period.
- Is it warm on March 29? Spring will be the same.
- Clouds are floating high — good weather.
- Trofim is baking from above and leaking from below.
- Even though there is no sun on Savvin, the water still runs.
- Multi-colored rays of the sun promise rain.
- Abundance of streams on March 29 — for a rainy summer.
- The simultaneous arrival of a large number of birds indicates that the season will be warm.
- Sparrows bathe and chirp loudly — the days will be fine.
Name days are celebrated today: Alexander, Pavel, Denis, Ivan, Roman, Trofim, Emelyan and Yulian.
