November 6th is a holiday dedicated to the miraculous icon of the Mother of God, known as “Joy of All Who Sorrow.”
People called this day Svetets, because it was the beginning of girls' gatherings that took place by the light of torches.
That is why on November 6 they observed the behavior of the torch flames and judged the upcoming weather by them.
Today the name day is celebrated by Alexey, Afanasy, Victoria, Georgy, Ivan, Irakli, Lavrenty, Nikolay, and Peter.
Those born on November 6 are characterized by assertiveness and toughness, they stop at nothing to achieve their goals. That is why today's birthday people are often envied by more insecure people.
On this day, girls did needlework and watched the flame of a torch. If it threw sparks and did not light for a long time, they expected a thaw, and if the flame crackled while burning, they expected severe frosts to approach.
They also watched the behavior of the crows. If the birds cawed loudly, there would be a blizzard, and if they circled in flocks in the sky, then a heavy snowfall would soon begin.
