A wedding is a special day when the fates of two people are intertwined.
There are many signs in Ukraine concerning wedding celebrations. Even the most skeptical brides try to comply with them.
Of particular interest are the signs that are associated with the date of the celebration.We will show you how to choose the right wedding day.
Days not to get married
1. During the Great, Petrov, Assumption and Christmas Lent.
In the period after Christmas (from January 7) to Epiphany (January 20), it is also undesirable to celebrate.
2. On Saturday, on the eve of the great holidays, you cannot spend an evening in entertainment and fun.
3. Tuesday and Thursday, on the eve of Wednesday and Friday fast days throughout the year.
4. During Shrovetide (the week before Lent).
5. On the day of the beheading of John the Baptist (September 11) and on the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (September 27) every year.In these great days for the Orthodox, a strict fast must be observed.
6. In May. This ban has more to do with folk traditions. The fact is that in ancient times, matchmaking was stopped against the holy Apostle Jacob (May 13). A marriage proposal at this time was considered offensive and even shameful.
Our ancestors said this: get married in May, toil all my life.
7. Even numbers. Better to get married, for example, on the 3rd, 5th, 7th.
8. July 16 (July 3, old style) on the day of the Martyr Iacinthus, Saint Philip, Metropolitan of Moscow.9. On the day of the Martyr Theodosia of Tire and St. John the 11 June.
10. On the day of the Monk Cassian the Roman (celebrated on February 29)!
Our ancestors did not even leave their homes that day, fearing that some kind of misfortune might happen.
