CrimeaPRESS reports:
Since October 24, people have noticed that it is starting to get colder more and more actively. This day was also called Zina, Philip’s day, Prezimye, Philip, Zinaida, Filippova Kanitel, Philip and Zinaida.
On this day, the peasants began to transport grain to the mill. At the same time, people said that the troubles of the road were coming, there was slush and dirt on the roads, but they had to go out on business. We have to hurry and waste time, despite the fact that “Philip himself was stuck to the stove” and the roads were bad. Gimp is a thin silver or gold thread used in embroidery. It is very difficult and takes a long time to make: first it is pulled out of silver or gold wire, then flattened and twisted. Hence the name for any troublesome and lengthy task — gimmick.
The Church today honors the memory of Saint Philip, one of the 70 apostles, who came from Caesarea in Palestine. It was he who was elected to the ranks of deacons after Saint Stephen based on the results of a discussion of this issue with his disciples. Stephen died a martyr’s death during the persecution organized against Christians. Philip himself decided to leave Jerusalem, where he was in danger, going to one of the Samarian cities, where he began to give sermons. At the same time, Stephen not only spoke to people about Jesus, but also performed various miracles, healing the weak and sick. Seeing this, even many pagans believed in the existence of Jesus Christ. According to historical data, Philip had 4 daughters who were also devoted Christians and possessed the gift of prophecy. In addition, one of the daughters named Hermione knew how to heal people. Tradition says that Philip himself died in the city of Trallia, where until his last moment he served as a bishop.
