Pictures of St. Andrew the First-Called

The Day of St. Andrew the First-Called is a major Orthodox holiday. It is celebrated annually on December 13th.

On this day, our ancestors tried to rest, Job around the house was forbidden, but it was possible to spend time with each other, talk, and alone, of course, pray for the health of all loved ones.

Another sign of Andrew's Day is fortune telling.

Ukrainian girls tried to look into the future to find out the name of their betrothed. For this, for example, they put 13 leaves with the names of men under the pillow. In the morning after waking up, one sheet was to be pulled out.

The name that is written on it is the name of the girl's betrothed. Some put empty leaves under the pillow, if you take out one in the morning, it means that the time has not yet come to meet your betrothed.

It was believed that fortune telling on Andrew is not a sin.
