Town and church holidays
On this day, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of the martyrs Eutropios, Cleonikos and Basiliscus, who suffered and died for their faith in the city of Amasia of Pontus (Asia Minor). They lived around 300 years ago.
People called the day Evtropiev. They said: “The Eutropian way rushes and the snow drowns.”
Traditions and rituals
Our ancestors believed that in Eutropia it was necessary to go around the field crosswise and thus attract the attention of the sun so that it melts the snow.
All entrances to the house are covered with the sign of the cross: doors, gates, windows, as well as the opening of the furnace, so that evil does not enter the dwelling.
In ancient times, it was believed that silver acquires special power on this day. On the night before March 16, the girls put a silver cross or other decoration in a jar of clean water, and in the morning they washed themselves in it to preserve their beauty.
Also, in Eutropius they are careful when going to the forest – there you will meet a bear that has woken up after hibernation.
What Not to Do
- After sunset, you cannot give, borrow – bread or money, throw garbage outside the house.
- So you may lose wealth and prosperity.
Signs
-
The starlings have arrived – there will be a good harvest of grain.
-
Crows bathe in the snow – to clear the weather.
-
Geese fly high – at high water, and if low – there will be little water.
