Tomorrow, residents of Kalmykia should not leave the house at night

In Russia, the Day of Memory of Dionysius was transformed into a national holiday with a speaking name - Denis Pozimniy.

It was believed that from this day on the cold becomes angrier, and with them the dark forces are activated. People were wary of leaving the house unnecessarily, especially in the dark.

In the morning, the faithful went to church, where they asked Dionysius the Areopagite for protection from diseases and bad people. The day was decided to spend calmly, without unnecessary noise, fuss and conflicts.
