Later Andrew and his brother, Peter, were brought. They were both fishermen. Andrew from his youth began to serve God and was a follower of John the Forerunner, and later the closest companion of Jesus Christ.



Andrew the First-Called accompanied the Messiah on all his travels and witnessed his entire life until the Resurrection and then the miraculous Ascension. After that, he preached a lot. Some sources report that he was in the vicinity of Kiev, and foresaw the appearance of a great city here.

This is the second one, by the way. folk-name Andrew's day, by the name of bread for the rite. In the evenings they burned fires to repel evil spirits, and in the morning they listened to the water to see what the weather would be like.



That's the mark. If there is no snow on Andrei, then the winter will be mostly mild, or even warm.

Or guessing on paper. Take 11 pieces, write ten names, and leave one empty. Then they put it under the pillow. You need to pull one out in the morning. What name shall be, so shall the begotten be called. If the piece is empty, then the girls will have to stay.

And guess the cat! The girl makes a wish, and then calls the furry pet home. You need to carefully watch which foot the cat will cross the threshold. If you are right, then the wish will come true. Interesting guesses on dumplings. Several girls and women make jams, and each stuffing. Then they cook and call someone to eat. Whose dumpling will be eaten first, she will marry soon!

The men themselves joke, they say that in order for Andrei to have a wish, it is necessary to catch Andrei, put him in the cellar and keep him there until the wish is fulfilled. Or you can jump on a poker.

Andrey will have to make a choice - to guess or follow the church prescription. Alas, the church forbids all worship. And a post in the yard. For those who follow Christian rules, we recommend the following.

2. Celebration table
