Krympress reports:
Of course, on March 8, at the present time, we are mainly as international women’s day. The tradition “born” in 1910 in Copenhagen, when Clara Cetkin invited women to fight for her rights, took root with us tightly. Meanwhile, before that in Rus’ there was a slightly different custom, emphasizing the nature of this day. In the old days of March 8, they called «sour girls»! They thought: if the girl did not get married before this date, then she will stay in her parental house for a long time. People who did not marry for a long time believed, almost outcasts: on the one hand they were spared, and on the other, they were neglected.
In addition, on March 8, the church calendar is listed as Polycarp’s day. In honor of St. Polycarp of Smirnsky, who became the Christian bishop in the 1st century, and for his faith in the victim.
As for the weather, then:
- Fast and high clouds — to good weather.
- Thick fog — the summer will be inconspicuous.
- Magpies flew into the forest — heat will soon come.
- Sparrows drive nests — cold will not come anymore.
- If March 8, throw a straw into the snow, you can predict the weather. If she fell into a snowdrift, after a month the snow will melt.
- If the magpies under the roofs hid, wait for cold weather and snowfall.
- Birds arrived — there will be a lot of bread.
- The rook nests from the sunny side are curled — the summer will be cold and inconspicuous.
- The woodpecker is heard — spring will come soon.
- Things are sung loudly — warm weather will soon be established.
- Shouting the finch on March 8 — there will be frosts.
