January 29 – refrigerator must be full

January 29 in the folk calendar – Peter’s day or Peter-half-feed. On this day in Rus’, pet owners counted the remaining food and distributed it so that it was enough until the start of spring grazing.

Today you need to take care of the food not only for pets, but also for your family. According to popular belief, if the refrigerator or cellar is not filled with food, the family will not have normal prosperity until spring. At the same time, the refrigerator and all other places where food is stored must be clean. Then the whole year you will be full and there will be no problems with financial well-being.

Especially carefully today you need to treat bread and other flour products. You can’t throw away bread, and even the crumbs are better to collect and let the birds peck at.

Good Petrov day to start a new job or a new project. In addition, there is a sign that everyone who works hard on this day will achieve success in business in the coming year and will be able to earn good money.

But it is better to postpone work related to the use of piercing and cutting objects for later – our ancestors believed that on this day there was a high risk of cutting themselves or getting a more serious injury.

Since Petrov’s day was one of the most frosty of the year, our ancestors tried not to go on a long journey that day, so as not to freeze. This year, such a tradition, probably, can not be followed – severe frosts are not expected. Only snowfall, turning into snow with rain, can interfere with travelers.

Girls and women, about to leave the house, first swept the floors – it was believed that the more rubbish they collected, the more happiness they would have.

It is impossible on this day not only to quarrel, swear and gossip, but also to peep and eavesdrop. Our ancestors believed that this would not only bring problems, but also threaten deafness and blindness.

Popular signs on December 29 are as follows:

What is the weather like today, will it be like this in April?

– if the north wind blows – to frost.

– if a blizzard sweeps, the summer will be rainy;

– if the sun is red at sunset, the next day will be sunny and frosty.

Dreams that occurred on the night of January 29 can come true if you tell them to other people. So if the dream was unpleasant, it is better not to tell anyone about it.
