May 13-Day of the Apostle of Jacob-Zveztonomny. There are many stars in the sky?
Krympress reports:
On May 13, the matchmaking period ended. From that moment on, lovers began to prepare for weddings. Why was it so and not otherwise? Because the last month of spring was popularly considered very unsuccessful for couples. They said: «You will be all your life.» This rule in Rus’ followed strictly.
The church now honors the memory of the Apostle Jacob, which is mentioned in the New Testament. He is the elder brother of John the Theologian. The Gospel preserved a description of how the Lord called for the service of Jacob and John. Christ called the brothers «Sones of Thunder», apparently for their impulsive character. Examples of their sincere ardor and combustion in faith are more than once mentioned in the Gospel. After the ascension of Christ, the Apostles went to preach to different corners of the world. The death of the Apostle Jacob is mentioned on the pages of the New Testament. According to legend, he was captured and executed by denunciation in the forty -fourth year.
