People's calendar
Sign Timofei
On this day, the Orthodox Church honors the holy martyr Timofei, who served in the 4th century as a bishop in the city of Pruss “(Vifania area).
The people of St. Timofei revered, in particular, for the fact that on his day various signs occurred. These signs foreshadowed mainly bad – but all the more important they were for people who were able to prepare for unpleasant events. Any trifle that no one would pay attention to Timofey acquired a prophetic meaning on another day.
If on this day mice ran along the threshing rims, it promised a hungry year. If flocks of wolves wandered around the fields in the morning – to the case of cattle. If the crows flew over the forest, it meant that there would be a crafty mor of people. If the mother moan moans – to the fire. And if someone sees a fiery snake in the sky-be a war. The people said: “Timofeev’s signs are threatened with a thunderstorm,” and they called the village happy where no one dreamed of anything on this day.
