Today, April 27, Maundy Tuesday is the last Tuesday before Easter. And in the folklore of hours – Martyn-Lisogon.
There is Great Lent. For Orthodox Christians, Holy Week continues, when believers remember the torment of the Savior, which he had to experience during his life on earth.
On this day, Jesus Christ read sermons in the Jerusalem temple.
Do’s and don’ts on Holy Tuesday of Holy Week:
You can go to church for divine services. Our ancestors on this day also sorted out clothes – they looked what to hide until next winter, and what to fix.
On this day, fasting people can eat only unleavened bread, water, dried fruits, nuts, honey. Nothing boiled or hot.
In the people’s memory today is also the day of Martin Lisogon. Today it is absolutely forbidden to go to the forest and hunt foxes. This is considered a bad omen that can lead to bad luck for the rest of your life. Also, you cannot quarrel today, express your anger or discontent.
