Town and church holidays
On this day, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of Saints Simeon and Anna. When the Mother of God and Joseph brought the little Jesus Christ to the Temple on his 40th birthday, San Anna and Simeon were the first to meet them. And they recognized the Messiah in the child. These two righteous men said that Jesus would be a light and a revelation to the glory of the people of Israel.
Also in the Orthodox Church, they believe that Anna and Simeon are the last prophets of the Old Testament. It is said that in the face of these people Jesus Christ recognized the entire people of Israel. And Simeon and Anna themselves, in their old age, became symbols of the fact that life can end, but Jesus fills it with light.
Traditions and rituals
On this day, people pray to Simeon and Anna to give health to a newborn child. There is a belief that on this day a brownie came to the stable. So that the animals do not panic due to the presence of evil spirits, footcloths are tied to their mane and left overnight.
