The Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos is a holiday associated with the appearance of the Virgin Mary to Andrew the Fool in the Church of Constantinople.

Orthodox Christians remember this event annually October 14.

In Ukraine, three important celebrations at once fall on this day, the Intercession, the Day of the Cossacks and the Day of the Defender of Ukraine are celebrated.

October 14, 2020 is a day off, you don't have to work it out.

Married women on this day traditionally went to church to pray; they asked the Virgin Mary for health for themselves and their loved ones. You can also pray at home, the main thing is to do it with all your heart. And girls and women who have not yet found their one and only need to stand in front of the icon and say:
Holy Protection, cover my little head, Holy Mother, Protection, cover my head, at least with a rag, so as not to remain a virgin.

After that, you should put a candle and pray for your future husband.
