Krympress reports:
On March 9, the Church venerates the memory of John the Baptist and notes the acquisition of John the Baptist, whose relics were allegedly found in the 4-5th century AD. John is known for washing (baptized) in the waters of the Jordan of Jesus Christ, dipping him into the water. He was beheaded at the request of the Jewish queen of the Herodiada and her daughter Salome.
The people called Ivanov Day (forty or larks) on March 9 and considered the days in which the winter ends, and the spring begins. They said that the day was measured with night. Waiting for the arrival of storks and larks. Our ancestors believed that to see these to birds — to great happiness.
