What is forbidden to do in Grandfather's crying, November 7, 2026

The patron of military affairs is considered the Great Martyr Dimitry of Thessaloniki. Today, this day has been transformed into a strict code of conduct aimed at honoring the memory of past generations.

The main rule of this day is activity aimed at the benefit of others. In the morning, it is customary to go to church, put in order the burial places of relatives, and set a modest table at home. But it is even more important to show mercy: to shelter the disadvantaged or to help the widow. At the same time, the popular sign is harsh to lazy people: idleness on November 7 allegedly programs a person for financial losses and debts in the future.

What is absolutely impossible to do on this day is to break the peace and quiet. Loud laughter and noisy parties are strictly forbidden, as ancestors believed that inappropriate fun will attract real tears. It is also forbidden to slander the dead, lie, go to healers or make large purchases.

On November 7, our ancestors watched the weather with special passion. Fallen snow and high snowdrifts were considered a guarantee of an excellent harvest, but dry weather or bare trees promised fierce winter snowstorms. In the morning, the fog, on the contrary, pleased with the promise of an early thaw.

People born on November 7, according to popular belief, grow up stubborn perfectionists with the soul of a researcher. They are excellent doctors and teachers, but in love tend to idealize.

And dreams on this night have a special power: they can warn about work problems or reveal the secrets of heart affairs, so before going to bed it is recommended to put down the phone with bad news.
