November 21 – do not think about self-interest

November 21 in the folk calendar is St. Michael’s Day. Usually on this day, the frosts subsided and a thaw could even begin, but then it became cold again. Folk omens, judging by the weather forecast, will work this year as well – on the afternoon of November 21 in Moscow they promise to drop to 0 degrees, and on the 22nd it will get colder to 3 degrees below zero.

On Michaelmas Day, it was customary to do good deeds, do charity work, ask for forgiveness for the wrongs done, and forgive offenders yourself. It was believed that the more good deeds you do on this day, the happier the whole next year will be. But it was supposed to forget about selfish goals – they believed that fate would surely punish the disobedient.

Mikhailov’s day was also called a guest day. It was a good tradition to receive guests and visit yourself. There was a belief that if you spend this day alone, then you will be left alone with your problems. The hostesses served the best treats on the table, they always baked pies, fried and baked meat, treated guests with homemade honey and beer. Mikhailov’s day is the first in the seven days before the start of the strictly Christmas Lent. Therefore, feasts were arranged throughout the week, which was called so – Mikhailovskaya.
