What holiday is today according to the church calendar?
On October 16, the church honors the memory of Saint Dionysius the Areopagite. The Athenian thinker and early Christian saint was a disciple of St. Paul. He became the first bishop of Athens. In 96 AD, Dionysius died from the persecution of Emperor Domitian.
In ancient times, the memory of martyrs was honored on this day. It is also called “autumn fever” – after the evil spirits that supposedly roam the streets and bring darkness to people.
It is believed that on October 16 one should not receive uninvited guests (this is bad luck), and also cut his hair – the hair will grow very slowly.
People believe that autumn fever can penetrate a person in different ways – take clothes, fly into the eyes. Aspen bark, which should always be carried with you, is considered an excellent remedy for this. They usually keep aspen logs at home. If your legs are tight, you put them on a log; if you have a headache, you put your head on a log.
