Did you know that you can predict the weather on the eve of the Passover? And do it without the help of weather forecasters.
The fact that our ancestors not only noticed, but even given a particularly vivid title-the same phenomenon that occurs every year in nature. And it is called "a handful of Jewish" or "Jewish bumps."
And it is that with the beginning of the Jewish Passover (Pesach) is sure to begin cooling. In 2017, Passover is celebrated on April 11 and then, a handful of Jewish pripadut on that date and will last 2-3 days.
HISTORY OF THE HOLIDAY
Before the exodus of Jews from Egypt locals struck ten plagues because Pharaoh would not let Moses out of the country. The last car touched the firstborn. God before this event told the Jews to slaughter lambs, roast meat, and blood mark the doorposts. The houses, whose doors were covered in blood, the children were saved. That is, God "passed over" - pasach.
WHY before Easter is always cold
religious:it is believed that the weather is crying and yearning for all the Jews who died on their way to the Promised Land.
folk version claims that in this period, the weather has not been established and, therefore, jumps, as the bumps.
The scientific explanation also there: during the full moon rising barometric pressure, which brings in the middle latitudes of the cold air, wind, rain.
Whatever it was, but take warm clothes stands today: for the Jews Passover, though falls on April 11, begins to celebrate tonight - 10 April.
