March 9 is the day of John the Baptist. Warm?
CrimeaPRESS reports:
On March 9, the church honors the memory of John the Baptist and celebrates the Finding of John the Baptist, whose relics were allegedly found in the 4th-5th century AD. John is known for having washed (baptized) Jesus Christ in the waters of the Jordan River by dipping him into the water. He was beheaded at the request of the Jewish queen Herodias and her daughter Salome.
People called March 9th Midsummer Day (Magpies or Larks) and considered it the day on which winter ends and spring begins. They said that day and night measure up. We were waiting for the arrival of storks and larks. Our ancestors believed that seeing these birds was a sign of great happiness.
The weather signs for today are as follows:
- If larks and storks arrive on time, there will be a bountiful harvest of bread.
- You cannot do laundry on this day, so as not to scare away migratory birds and delay the arrival of the long-awaited spring.
- Birds build nests from the south — summer will be cool. But if the nests are located in the shade, the summer will be warm.
- A woodpecker knocks in the forest — spring will come late.
- Clear day — the weather on Easter will also be good, and in April it will be warm.
- A bright moon with light horns is visible in the sky — expect frost in the morning.
- Tits are chirping — warm weather will soon arrive.
- Lots of snow — Easter will also be cold.
- If the snow has melted, then Easter will be warm and dry.
- Warm day March 9 – April will also be warm.
- There is snow on the roofs — it will be a snowy Easter.
