forefathers Signs of spring Signs occupied a huge reservoir of folk art, no other months do not attract as much attention as in March, April and May.And all begins on 15 February at Candlemas.According to popular belief, this day is found winter and spring, and on who will win depends on whether the weather to please.Spring Folk omens say that it was after that day begins to awaken nature.A spring meet in a month, on the day of Evdohi, March 14.Women bake "larks" and called the young children of the year with them.
ancient beliefs advised that day to bury a pot of porridge to feed the earth, to appease her for an abundant harvest in the future.Generally with the fertility of the earth, with the yield of the year related to many signs of spring.So, on the yield of this year we were judged by the great flood, on a fully descended ice on the rivers.It foreshadowed the bounty of nature.Especially fruitful was considered the year when spring came late.Such a large number of signs, associated with the harvest, due to the fact that our ancestors lived off the land fertile.We wondered why any natural phenomenon.Including in the spring thunderstorms.Thunder from the south or east presaged a good year, and in the west - is poor.Lightning without thunder threatened by drought.Bad harvest predicted and thunderstorms too early, when the trees have not yet covered with leaves.
Hydrometeocentre at that time did not exist, but because the weather conditions predicted by the behavior of animals.Many of these signs of spring are justified and have a scientific explanation.For example, fast rain was determined by the croaking of frogs.They are very sensitively perceive the slightest changes in the atmosphere and croak before rain a lot, but not loudly as the weather is dry and hoarse.Considered harbingers of rain and spiders when they went hunting in the mornings.The fact is that during the damp, they are not shown, and before the rain of dew on the grass there, and spiders can go.
Signs of our times
course, nowadays people's signs have lost their original meaning.The weather can we know a month in advance, to increase the productivity of research and development allow.Yet the modern world has its own signs of spring.True, even humorous.In them come this time of year is proclaimed the advent of the people on the streets in winter hat and sunglasses, presentation of gifts from the seemingly indifferent people, the unexpected attention of the opposite sex.This trend is not accidental.Indeed, in our time, spring is associated not with seeding fields, and with the advent of love.
