The date of December 8 is marked in the Orthodox folk calendar as Clement's Day or Clement the Cold.
It was believed that at this time the northern winds come, severe frosts and a harsh winter sets in.
What not to do
Complaints of cold
On this day, you absolutely cannot complain about frost and cold.
If the spirit of winter hears a person's complaints, it may begin to take revenge, and the cold will penetrate into the house.
Disputes and conflicts
Also on December 8th you should not argue or quarrel, even over trifles.
Arguments can lead to problems in relationships with others.
It's better not to interfere in other people's affairs and don't give advice unless you're asked for it.
Dangerous Walks
Today is not the best day for a walk in the forest.
Animals can become aggressive and dangerous to humans.
What can be done
Spiritual growth
This day is great for finding spiritual mentors.
Volunteering and serving others will bring joy and spiritual strength.
Needlework
Start doing some handicrafts today, as the white snow and frost will inspire you.
Frost protection
Today, do not forget to pray to the Apostle Clement to protect you from severe frosts and negative events.
