Day of Ksenia Milaska: traditions, omens and prohibitions on January 24

On January 24, Orthodox Christians commemorate the memory of the Reverend Xenia of Milas in the new style, and in the old style - the Reverend Theodosius the Great. Both saints are of great spiritual importance, and traditions, signs and prohibitions of this day are closely related to their lives.

Reverend Xenia, known in peace as Eusebius, lived in the 5th century and came from a noble Roman family. She left a magnificent life to devote herself to serving God and people. Its activities covered the construction of temples, the establishment of monasteries and assistance to the poor. For her virtues, she became the embodiment of charity, humility and kindness.

Signs and folk beliefs

People are called the Hall of Half-Lesochnia on January 24, because this day symbolizes the middle of winter and a turning point until spring. People watched the weather closely:

  • If the sun is warmed, then the spring will be early.
  • The blizzard heralds the late spring.
  • A warm day promises a rainy spring.

This day was called a semi -winter, because it was believed that the new harvest should remain as many stocks as it was spent.

That cannot be done on January 24

The church warns against negative emotions and actions:

  • Do not quarrel or insult others.
  • Do not take hard work or new things - it can fail.
  • Avoid haircuts or nails, as well as cleaning your home as, according to beliefs, it can deprive you of health.

What can you do on this day

On this day, the believers pray to the Holy Xenia, asking her help in family life, healing and supporting in difficult life circumstances. It is also important to do a good thing: to help the needy, to visit the elderly or sick people, to say a warm word.

Angel Day January 24th

The new calendar of this day is welcome Xenia, Gerasim, Ivan, Nicholas, Paul and Timothy. According to the old style - Fyodor, Michael, Stepan, Terentia, Joseph, Vitaliy, Vladimir and Nicholas.

Ksenia Milasky's holiday is an example of faith, kindness and humility. May this day be a reminder of the importance of spiritual enrichment and care of your neighbor.
