Today, December 10, the Orthodox Church celebrates the Day of the Icon of the Mother of God "The Sign".
The icon is considered a protector from disasters and enemies, as well as an assistant in family matters and the treatment of illnesses.
On this day, it is important to be attentive to surrounding events. It is believed that they can predict the future.
What not to do
Prohibitions on actions
Today, you can’t sew or knit, as this can “lock in” the heat and lead to severe frosts.
Also, you should not invite sick people into your home, so that their troubles do not pass on to the owners.
Respect in communication
It is important to show respect when communicating with loved ones. Honesty and truthfulness should be the basis of all relationships.
What can be done
Prayers for children
Today we also remember Saint Romanus of Antioch.
At this time, women pray for the gift of children and ask the Lord for the health of their souls.
Visiting the temple
Visiting the temple will be a real joy. A lit candle and worship of the icon strengthen the spirit and show the way to salvation.
North wind
If the north wind blows in the morning, you should go outside and meet it face to face. This will help you forget bad memories.
Helping others
Don't forget about charity, as helping others improves health.
