Town and church holidays
On this day, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of the martyr Matrona of Thessalonica, the holy martyr from Thessaloniki, who lived in the 3-4th century.
He was the slave of the Jew Pawtila. The hostess forced him to turn away from Christianity, but the future saint did not want to renounce his faith and secretly went to church. One day Pavtila found out about this and ordered Matrona to be beaten with sticks, and then left to die.
The body of the martyr, by order of the hostess, was thrown from the city wall. However, after that, Pavtila’s life was short-lived – he himself tripped, fell and fell on the same place of the wall.
People called Matryona Nastovitsa. This is due to the fact that in the spring, after large thaws, the surface of the snow is covered with a hard crust. Also, lapwings are called nastovits, who came home from hot lands on Matryona’s Day.
Traditions and rituals
At this time, the housewives went out for the last time to whiten the canvases, laying them on the snow crust. The women asked blessings for the work from Matryona.
Also in 2023, Palm Sunday falls on April 9th.
