Town and church holidays

On this day, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of the holy apostle and evangelist Mark. Mark of Alexandria, who built the first church in Egypt and became the bishop of Alexandria, was a disciple of the Apostle Peter.

Apostle Mark traveled and preached widely, converting more than one pagan to Christianity. And as a result, he died at the hands of the Gentiles. One morning, they entered the temple in a crowd, where the bishop was preaching, arrested him and threw him into prison, and the next day they brought him to trial, according to the death of Mark.

Today people celebrate the national holiday of Mark Klyuchnik. Other names of the holiday: Mark, Mark’s day, Babi holiday, Stanislav. The St. Mark’s Keymaster is popularly nicknamed because, according to legend, he keeps the keys out of the rain. It is believed that from that day a rainbow appears in the sky.

They pray to Marcos and ask him for abundant rain in May and summer and abundant harvest.

Mark Klyuchnik is also called Bird Starvation. Today, the birds come home from warm countries, and it is customary to meet them, scattering seeds on the roads so that they can eat.
