CrimeaPRESS reports:
On May 13, the matchmaking period ended. From that moment on, the lovers began to prepare for their weddings. Why was it this way and not otherwise? Because the last month of spring was popularly considered very unlucky for couples. They said: “You will suffer all your life.” This rule was strictly followed in Rus’.
The Church today honors the memory of the Apostle James, who is mentioned in the New Testament. He is also the elder brother of John the Theologian. The Gospel preserves a description of how the Lord called James and John to ministry. Christ called the brothers “sons of thunder,” apparently because of their impetuous nature. Examples of their sincere ardor and burning in faith are mentioned more than once in the Gospel. After the Ascension of Christ, the apostles went to preach in different parts of the world. The death of the Apostle James is spoken of on the pages of the New Testament. According to legend, he was captured and executed following a denunciation in the year 1944.
