CrimeaPRESS reports:
People called May 8 differently: Mark the Keykeeper, Mark’s Day, Women’s Day, Bird Fasting. But there was only one meaning — they honored St. Mark, whom our ancestors considered the lord of spring showers. They said that he was the key holder who unlocks the sky and sheds rain on the earth.
It was believed that if they “waited” for three days in May, then there would be a rich harvest this year. So Mark was prayed to send heavy rains.
As for the weather signs for this day:
- The cuckoo crows on this day — there will be no more frosts.
- Good weather and sunshine? Towards a bountiful harvest of spring crops.
- A warm evening and a starry sky mean a bountiful harvest.
