Town and church holidays
On this day, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of the holy martyr Tryphon. The saint lived in the third century in Nicaea. From an early age, he accepted Christian customs, and as a young man, he discovered the gift of miracles, healing the sick. According to legend, Tryphon cast out a demon from the daughter of the Roman emperor Gordian III, who, although he was an idolater, did not persecute Christians. However, during the reign of the next emperor, Decius Trajan, persecution began and Tryphon was executed.
In ancient times, the memory of martyrs was honored on this day. Our ancestors noticed that if there is frost on this day, then the spring will be cold. It is believed that through certain rituals the rats can be driven out of the village altogether. The healer took a piece of straw from the stack, took it to the oven and lit a hot poker. He poured the resulting ash into the places where hay and hay were stored.
Also on the day of Tryphon, unmarried women prayed for lovers. February has traditionally been the month of weddings, and this time is considered the best time to ask a higher power for family happiness.
