Tryphon and Pelageya October 21: how to prepare for winter and why you can not tell dreams

This day is traditionally associated with a sharp cold snap and the beginning of active preparation for the harsh winter. Our forefathers remarked, “It gets colder from Tryphon and Pelagea.”.

The hostess took out winter clothes: fur coats, toeloops, hats and mittens. All this had to be carefully examined and, if necessary, stitched or sewn over. The people said: “Triphon fixes a fur coat, and Pelageya sews mittens.” By the way, it was a great occasion to update clothes and for those who planned an early wedding to enter family life in a new and warm.

Folk wisdom has retained a number of strict prohibitions. It was believed that their violation on this day can cause a streak of small but unfortunate failures:

Men should not cut down old trees - it will bring trouble to the whole house.

Women are not recommended to show off in front of the mirror for a long time or excessively pretentious.

The strictest control over speech is necessary: empty talk, gossip and profanity are prohibited. Every word on this day has weight, so it is better to keep silent than to say something stupid.

- Put your laziness aside. The day does not require hard labor, but it is necessary to be productive and perform the planned small tasks.

Telling bad dreams before sunset is strictly forbidden, otherwise they can come true or attract trouble. You can only share experiences after dark.

Dreams from October 20 to October 21 often come true. A bright and memorable plot promises cardinal changes in fate. If the dream was ordinary, a situation awaits you in front of you, where you will certainly need wise advice from loved ones or the support of friends.

People born on October 21 are distinguished by a calm disposition and enviable physical endurance. Often they combine creative streak and practical skills (for example, a tendency to shoe or sewing).
