On November 21, the Orthodox Church celebrates Introduction Theotokos. This day is still set for Orthodox Christian Family Day and a young man.
Love brings together those closest to a common table with bread and a glass of wine to celebrate the healthy relationship between them. For those who are fasting, fish is permitted today.
On this day, the Holy Virgin Mary was brought into the temple at the age of 3. So her parents Joachim and Anna kept their promise to God. They escorted the child to the synagogue with lighted candles and left him on the first step. To everyone’s surprise, it easily climbed the 15 steps and was met by the high priest Zacharias – the father of John the Baptist. Thus, Mary remained in the temple until she reached the age at which the girls settled down.
At the Introduction of the Virgin Mary, the people guess what the weather will be like throughout the next year. If the weather is warm and sunny, the winter will be hot, the summer will be dry, and the fertility will be low. If it rains or snows, the winter will be snowy, the summer rainy, and the harvest rich.
