What is not recommended to do Volgograd on October 18, so that troubles bypassed
On Sunday, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of the martyr Charitina of Amisia. In the popular calendar, this date is known as Kharitinin Day, and it is associated with many spiritual traditions and strict prohibitions, the violation of which, according to legend, threatens with serious trouble.
According to church legends, Saint Charitina was orphaned early, but was brought up by a Christian Claudius. She found unshakable faith, dedicated her life to serving God and helping those in need. The girl steadfastly suffered cruel torture during the persecution, and did not renounce their beliefs.
In Russia, this day was considered an important spiritual frontier. Believers were encouraged to visit the temple, reflect on the importance of prayer and strengthen their faith. There was a tradition to wear on this date new clothes of light shades to attract well-being. But from dark things in the wardrobe on October 18, it is better to abandon: ancestors believed that they attract problems at work and in personal life.
Folk wisdom prescribed on Kharitininin day to categorically avoid laziness and boasting about their achievements. It was also strictly forbidden to gossip and swear. It was believed that negative words, quarrels and empty chatter on this date can turn into a serious illness for a person.
Weather signs of October 18 are closely related to the behavior of nature. If the crows were circling in the sky, the peasants expected snowfall. And the complete fall of leaves from cherry trees served as a sure sign of the approach of strong and prolonged cold.
