Novosibirsk told what you can’t do on Denis Pozimny Day, October 16
This day is popularly known as Denis Pozimny Day. This day is celebrated in honor of seven famous saints, including the holy martyr Dionysius the Areopagite, presbyter Rusticus and deacon Eleutherius, who died in Lutetia Gaul. This is the day of remembrance of the Holy Land. This is written by "AiF-Novosibirsk".
Saint Dionysus was a noble Athenian who heard the preaching of the Apostle Paul and became his companion.
In the folk calendar, Denis Pozimny's day is associated with various signs. At this time of year, our ancestors tried to protect themselves from autumn fever, which was especially common in the fall. For this purpose, they used infusions of aspen bark and knotweed. For headaches, aspen logs were placed under the head, and for leg pain - under the feet.
On this day, it was considered important to dress for the weather. If someone falls ill on October 16, their recovery may be delayed.
Among the prohibitions on October 16 are leaving windows open for a long time to avoid the invasion of autumn fever, quarrels and conflicts, and picking up money from the ground, which can bring misfortune.
