What a holiday today: traditions on May 4 and who celebrates the birthday

On Saturday, May 4, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine honors the memory of the Holy Martyr Pelagia on the new calendar and recalls the female myrrh-the first witnesses of the Resurrection of Christ.

That is celebrated by the believers in the new style

The Holy Pelagia, who lived in the III century, is known as a symbol of faithfulness to Christ. She denied the son of Emperor Diocletian, choosing the spiritual path. After the baptism, Pelagia allegedly healed the servants who were blinded, and later suffered a martyrdom: she was executed on fire, after which, according to legend, the body melted like a fragrant world.

Also on this day are honored by women-mishops-Maria Magdalen, Salomia, John, Martha, Maria, Susanne and others who were the first to learn about the resurrection of Jesus. People are called "women's holiday", and also - "grandma's a week" when they honor motherhood and women's care.

The temples hold festive worship services, greet women, thank them for their love and support.

What an old-fashioned holiday

According to the Julian calendar, the Holy Martyr Square and Bishop Janairi are honored today.
