In this article we will get acquainted with the most famous signs of the leap year. And also consider whether they are so believable.

Our people always had many superstitions and will, as they say, for all occasions. Any deviation from the usual rhythm scared the inhabitants. And everyone tried to see something mystical and terrible, so that it was more interesting to live. In this article, we will consider signs regarding the leap year, and establish a connection between the opinion of the Church, carriers and logical thinking.

What does a leap year mean, how to determine it, not counting?

It is even known to the student that the year consists of 365 days, and in February 28 days. By the way, this month is considered the shortest, because it is the coldest and fierce. There are even legends around this month. But back to February 29 that I collected so many beliefs near himself.

• You can determine it, not counting. But you will have to resort to mathematics. The calendar will not have to be calculated every year, but its last numbers should be divided into 4. If it comes out integer, then there will be or is a leap year.
• If the year ends on two or more zeros, then the number is divided into 400.
• The day actually has a little more than 24 hours. And in 4 years, he races again for almost a day. To have an idea, this “tail” is almost 6 hours.

And now we will delve into history:

• AT andjuicy (note that it is not written in ssokyny!) Translated as “second six” from the Latin language. This day was “invented” under Julia Caesare in 46 BC. e.
• The old style or the Julian calendar included an additional day in February, since in Rome it was the last month of the year. But then it was the 24th.
• After a couple of years, the great commander died, and the people began to continue to “celebrate” the extra day every three years. They did not know or received incorrect information, or maybe they were mistaken even earlier in these calculations.
• That is, instead of 9, humanity “lived” 12 leap years. Therefore, 16 years were residents without this “one day”.
• And in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII proposed another calendar calculus. And all for the fact that Christian believers noted at the same time church celebrations. Therefore, they added a day for the end of February.

No mysticism! And the fantasy of our ancestors and many more legends have collected many superstitions around February 29. Although this is an opportunity to have time to finish all what has begun. After all, one extra day appeared in stock.

Why is the leap year considered bad, difficult, why is it dangerous?

It is believed that this year all troubles and misfortunes will collapse on humanity. According to ancient legends this year, or rather on February 29, Kasyan's Day falls. Some argue that all this time Kasyana is hit on the head of the devil or he sober up only to this day. But the bottom line is that God punished him for three years, highlighting only one day. And, which he does not look at or does not touch him, everything disappears and collapse!

• In Orthodoxy, the legend is as follows: Nikolai and Kasyan met a bogged cart on the road. Here the sources diverge a bit, some assure that it was by chance, the second - at the request of Christ. And now Kasyan (unloved and unpleasant saint) was afraid to get dirty in the mud and did not help the poor fellow. Nikolai could not refuse.
• Since then, they celebrate St. Nicholas Day twice a year, and Kasyan's Day every 4 years. And since he was harmful, he brings the bad weather, where his leg would only step.
  • And he has a "bad" biography. The version also diverge. He was abducted by demons, and brought up by them. Who says that he was a guard at the gates of hell, and rested only once in 4 years.
  • There is another version that Kasyan betrayed the Lord, and he was expelled from heavenly paradise to hell. But God has mercy on Him, so Kasyana is quilting all this time, giving only one day on the overdles.
• And Kasyan in one day took out all his anger, which accumulated from him during this period. Previously, on this day they did not even leave the houses, did not let lives into the yard and did not even go to the service.

Why does many people die in a leap year?

Yes, more people die in a leap year than on a regular other year. According to statistics, more than 2 million inhabitants die every year only in Russia. Take the calculator in your hands - more than 250 people come out in one day (or rather, 262). Therefore, so it comes out more people in a leap year. Elementary mathematics.

What can not be done in a leap year?

Yes, nothing can be done in a leap year. Although signs from February 29 crossed for the whole year, that is, for as many as 366 days. Recall that Kasyan walks only one day! But it is only you to decide on which signs to believe, and what to pass by your ears.

• You can’t start anything new, otherwise success will turn away from you. You can’t change work, you can’t buy a car or apartment either. You can’t even change your hairstyle.

Since people have always scared away a new and unknown.
• By the way, one cannot talk about your plans. Otherwise, they will be crowned by failure.

• You can’t drown kittens. You can’t buy new cattle or sell it. It is also impossible to exchange any living creatures.
• Nothing can be bought to death this year, otherwise death will be close.
• You can’t sow and plant either. But you can read the prayer when landing: "In a leap soot, I will die." In order to make it clearer, wait for to die. After all, the crop can die from the acts or views of Kasyan.
• Even dogs cannot be howled. If you heard her howl, then say: “The whole family is with me (the names of your family members). Amen".
• The first teeth of the baby was also not celebrated this year. Otherwise, the teeth will be bad.
• If the girl began to critically be the first time the days, then this can not be told about this from the female (girlfriend, sister or grandmother). Otherwise, her female happiness will be stolen. Mom is an exception, at least, nothing is indicated about her.

• A prisoner in prison this year must pronounce the words: "Free will, but I do not have a bondage." The main thing is that no one will hear them.
• If a person was in jail, then, escorting, relatives must say the following words: “The leapsman will leave, and the servant of God (name) will come home. Amen".
• Arriving at the cemetery on parental Saturday, first distribute the commemoration of three people. And only then remember the dead.
• Mushrooms and grass cannot be collected. Especially on Ivan Kupala, they make reserves for treatment. You need, having come to the forest, say: “A leap, father, leave yourself bad, and let me take an expensive one. Amen".

Wedding, wedding in a leap year: Wedding signs

Young people who want to create a family repeatedly heard that in a leap year the wedding cannot be played. And about the wedding and completely imposed a strict taboo.

Signs that imposed a ban on a wedding in the leap year:

• the family will collapse very quickly
• newlyweds will be often and very sick
• as well as signs report that one of the spouses will avoid early
• the family is doomed to treason
• as well as the family will pursue quarrels and fights between beloved

Important: but there is another nuance, after the leap year there is another year of the widow, when you cannot create a family again. The meaning is already clear with the name. And behind him alternates the year of the widow. Total, three years in a row cannot marry. By the way, children are also contraindicated in these years.

If folk signs are important to you, then it is worth observing the following instructions. When the wedding cannot be postponed or not a desire, then pay attention to the signs of happiness to create a family in a leap year.

• You need to start with the bride’s outfit. The longer the dress will be, the longer and happier the union will be. The jewelry should be worn by vintage old ones, and even better if they go into the inheritance from relatives. This means eternal and true love.
• The ring of the bride cannot be dressed on top of the glove. Otherwise, there will be a divorce. Although it is not entirely aesthetically aesthetically worn by a wedding ring.
• Newlyweds on the way to the place of registration cannot be looked back. Otherwise, the turned by the spouse will look left all the time. Although this sign sounds from the mouth of older people about any marriage.
• Before the crown, the phrase should be pronounced: “I crown up with a crown, and not a leap end!”
• The tablecloth that covered the table at the wedding should be laid on each anniversary for three years in a row. This sign promises happiness to the newlyweds.
• You can also not sell a veil and a wedding dress. You will sell your female happiness with him.
• Also, before the wedding, the bride should not be arranged by party. Otherwise, the husband will be walking.
• At a wedding, as a charm from troubles, young people are put on a coin in shoes.
• Also, the wife should feed her husband from the spoon that was at his wedding. This must be done on 3, 7 and 40 days after the conclusion of the Union.

Regarding the wedding:

• The church does not distinguish good or bad days, the same goes for years. Moreover, the wedding allows only one marriage and the newlyweds receive The blessing of the Lordso the trouble will bypass them.
• The only instruction that the Church gives is to refrain from the wedding during the days of fasting and the commemoration of the deceased.

Christening in a leap year: folk signs

It is not only possible to baptize the child, but also necessary! Again, the church does not distinguish any leap years. The child should be baptized at any time. Previously, the kids were baptized 8 days after birth, now this rite is held after 40 days, when mothers are allowed to visit the temple.

• Baptism is the approach of the child to the Lord! After this day, the baby has Guardian angel. Therefore, the baby will be protected from troubles and bad things.
• Moreover, even before children who were born in a leap year, they tried to baptize as soon as possible. To protect your child.

Conception of a child, pregnancy in a leap year: signs

Let us return to the words of the church. A child is a gift of God! If you managed to get pregnant this year, then you should only set yourself up for positive thoughts. There are signs that are related to the birth of the baby in a leap year (they will be provided below), but this does not affect pregnancy.

• It is believed that if a woman cuts her hair while pregnant, then the baby will be born dead. But this sign applies not only to the leap year, but to everyone else. There is also a version that with this action a woman shortens the life of her baby.
• Also, women should not dye their hair in a position. Especially in a leap year. Otherwise, it will bring trouble to the baby. But we want to calm you down, just under the influence of hormones the paint will take spots or find a different color. Yes, this often happens and does not depend on which year is on the street.

Children born in a leap year: signs

This sign seems a little absurd and paradoxical. The birth of a child in a leap year is bad. The kid will be weak before any hardships and his fate will be unhappy, and only hardships and misfortunes will be on the way. But no one has yet wore the baby longer than the due date. Moreover, the baby will not ask permission when he is born, and what year is now.

• But there is another belief - born people in a leap year will be unique. Especially if the birthday fell on February 29. This version is divided into two more directions:
  • On this day, children chosen by fate are born who are awaiting success, wealth and a happy life. It is believed that on this day the window is torn to another world. And a person will act as a messenger that he will bring something important and special as a mere mortal.
  • The second version is slightly consonant with the previous one. Our ancestors saw in this day something mysterious and magical, so those born in a leap year will take possession of such abilities. They will have to teach us something and convey something important. Therefore, they should listen to their words and advice.

Why is it impossible to build a bath, house, fence, lay the foundation in a leap year: signs

Agree, it sounds extremely frightening even in modern times. But there are good signs that will help protect your building.

• On the first lunar day, bring salt and sugar to the place of construction. Yes, not easy, to keep salt in his right hand, and sugar in the left. Next, you need to draw a circle of salt, bowing on the four cardinal points. In this case, salt needs to be scattered from the bag. This circle should protect the future house or bath from all troubles.
• Nearby, outside the circle, draw a cross with sugar. The brownie must be called to enjoy, having staggered in this way. To bow to all directions again and leave. In no case do not look back!

Why you can’t get divorced in a leap year: signs

It is impossible to get divorced in a leap year for the reason that the rest of the spouse will not gain more family happiness for the rest of their lives. I would like to add a few words about the wedding and the opinion of the Church on this subject. "Marriages are in heaven!" Therefore, the church is categorically against divorces, and crowned couples are not at all subject to divorce.

But, if the family finally decided to break off relations, then it is worth buying towels. Each ex -wife is his own. And take these towels to the church in order to give the women who wash the floors. You need to say the following phrase to yourself: “I give a tribute to the temple, and you, a family angel, stand next to me. Amen. Amen. Amen".

Why you can’t move in a leap year: signs

Again, all signs associated with the move indicate that the old energy protection will be lost. Misforties, illnesses and troubles will fall on a person.

If the move cannot be postponed the next year, but you believe in superstition, then read the prayer on the road: "" I'm walking and going on a leap track, I worship a leapland. I got out of the threshold (set off), I’ll return here. ” This must be said, leaving the house, crossing the threshold.

Why it is impossible to pick mushrooms in a leap year: signs

That is, a huge amount of poisons and harmful substances accumulates, which can cause poisoning. But you need to guess what year the rebirth fell on. This is not always a leap year.

• But here there is a catch - mushrooms are not reborn, but they are aging. And yes, any mushroom will accumulate many toxins from the Earth in four years. But you do not know his exact date of appearance.
• And be sure to take into account the varietal features, for example, umbrellas and champignons learn this muck in smaller quantities.

Moreover, there are no clear grounds for this.

Why can not be carved in a leap year: signs

Previously, carols were paid more attention, and the outfits were carefully selected. Therefore, they dressed the robes of an animal or monster to beg for sweets. And then the first superstition is spinning near these outfits - a person crosses the counties of an animal or monster. There is also a version that, caroling sweets, a person loses his happiness and health. Today, this sign is losing its relevance, since the carols have already lost its former mass and popularity. Agree, rarely on the threshold you can see a dressed unfamiliar child.
