On April
do not trust anyone.Where did this saying?Indeed, any proverb is under a some kind of foundation.On April our pagan ancestors celebrated a holiday entertaining.Rather, not even a holiday, and some abroad.This is the day of awakening houses.The ancient Slavs believed that in the winter, he, like many animals and spirits, hibernate and wake up only occasionally to do the necessary work on the house.
slept house exactly to the time when spring has fully come into its own.And she came, according to the ancestors at all in March and in April.More precisely, the arrival of spring marked the spring equinox March 22 and the following days until the 1st of April were days of spring meetings.The first number, the spring comes irrevocably and chief guardian spirit hearth - the house, I had to wake up to a clean house.
As you know, when we had a long sleep, and then wake up call for our alarm clock, a husband or mother, it is often dissatisfied with this.We yawn and grumble why we were awakened so early.Small children do begin to act up.And our house is sometimes the habits of the child, and after a long slumber wakes up is not very joyful.And then he begins to misbehave and sometimes rowdy.What remains of flour sacks vysyplet, the horse's mane tangled, cow scare, stained underwear.
course, our distant ancestor was trying to cajole disgruntled brownie clover, milk and bread, but as you know, the bread must be attached and spectacle.Such a spectacle for the awakened spirit became widespread celebrations, jokes, laughter, people in the house who played each other all day.
Besides, that was fun houses, and the all around, occupants wore clothes inside out, like the spirit of ancestors, who, as you know, is a fur vest seamy;on his feet were certainly flaunt different socks or shoes, but in conversation all tried to deceive each other, or a joke to host house-father forgot that he recently woke up.
Over time, about the meeting of spring and cajoling brownie forgotten the first of April, but the tradition of jokes, play, and to cheat on this day, remained.
