Town and church holidays March 25
The Orthodox Church honors the memory of the Lydda Icon of the Mother of God. Legend testifies that the prototype of the miraculous icon appeared thanks to a miracle in the city of Lydd after the establishment of a Christian community there. He was blessed by the Mother of God – believers saw how an image of the Mother of God appeared in the temple with Jesus and did not disappear.
Also, the Orthodox Church celebrates on March 25 the day of St. Theophan the Confessor, a chronicler, monk and theologian from Byzantium.
Traditions and rituals
The people said: “Theophanes opened the deep.” On March 25, we continued the spring festival and observed natural phenomena. Horses are especially revered on this day. Because when plowing and sowing, the horse is considered the main helper of the farmer. They say that if Teofan’s horse gets sick, the disease will haunt him all summer. And to avoid this, he had to put silver or gold in the drinking bowl.
Also on March 25, rituals were performed to protect against diseases and the evil eye.
