Today, Orthodox Christians remember Saint Savva the Sanctified.
Saint Savva is one of the most revered saints in the Orthodox Church.
What not to do
You cannot compare yourself with others in spiritual practice.
A believer should be aware of his true path and follow it.
Swear words
Today, you can't swear at someone who has a horse.
In the old days, the horse was the main means of transportation. On this day, according to beliefs, it is especially susceptible to negative energy. If the owner shows anger and indignation, he will get sick or get injured.
Visiting friends
At this time, do not visit people you don’t know well.
It is believed that when a person goes to visit people he doesn’t know well, he will “pick up” their negative energy.
Pregnant women
Pregnant women should not wash their hair on this day.
According to belief, this will harm the child and he may be born with a bad memory.
Also, according to another version, water will absorb all thoughts and experiences. If a woman feels depressed, then negative emotions can be transmitted to the child.
What can be done
Household chores
Today it is better to do your usual things that do not require too much effort.
Passivity will lead to negative consequences.
Intuition
On this day, intuition is heightened, memory and mental activity improve.
You need to use this time for self-education and thinking about your plans.
Needlework
Handicrafts on Savvin's Day will bring good luck and prosperity.
Women sewed, knitted, embroidered, and wove lace to make something beautiful for good luck in the coming year.
