Feast of Hugs, Maxim's Day: which is celebrated on January 21

Today, January 21, is full of events, memorable dates and festive traditions. In the church calendar, this day is celebrated as the feast of Saint Maxim the Confessor. According to legend, during the torture, he was deprived of the ability to speak, but due to a divine miracle, the saint received the gift of speech again. According to the old style, St. Gregory the Wonderworker and Gregory of Kiev-Pechersk, known for his asceticism, are also revered.

On the international level, January 21 is celebrated as International Hug Day. This holiday was started in order to spread the warmth of human relationships and remind us how important touch is for our health and emotional state. The tradition of the holiday is simple and touching: hugging relatives, friends and even strangers.

It is interesting that many outstanding people were born on January 21. Among them is the Ukrainian poet and author of the famous song "Oh, in the meadow is a red viburnum" Stepan Charnetskyi, military pilot Mykhailo Oparenko, football player Andriy Annenkov and Hero of Ukraine Oleg Adamovskyi. Christian Dior, the founder of the legendary fashion house, actress Gina Davis, comedian Benny Gill and outstanding opera singer Placido Domingo were born in the world on this date.

As for signs, this day promises: if the sun shines most of the day, spring will be early, and summer will be dry. The cold weather hints at the delay of frosts, and the morning fog predicts warming.

Do not forget that on Maxim's day you cannot quarrel, borrow or lend money. This can cause trouble and financial difficulties for a whole year. Instead, it is worth spending the day in harmony, paying attention to family and friends.
