The day of St. It passed. They celebrate victorious names. All trusts – 2024-11-10 22:32:00

Today we honor the Holy Great Martyr Mina Kotuanski.

He is a famous miracle worker, the patron saint of orphans and the homeless. He is considered the patron and protector of all folk healers, healers, warriors, as well as people who have taken a long journey.

St. Mina also protects women, so on this day they pray before the icon of the saint for the health of their children, for the joy and well-being of the home.

St. Mina was a soldier in Egypt. For the faith, after torture, he was cut with a sword in 296 under Diocletian and Maximian.

On this day, it is possible to find something lost or to renew a friendship, a relationship that we have not maintained for a long time, because Saint Mina is the patron of all those who have lost something.

But if we mourn for possessions and material gains, Saint Mina’s day teaches us that they are not important in our lives, but we should value human connections and relationships with loved ones.

It is believed that the so-called “Wolf Holidays” begin today. They bring the longest nights of the year (From Archangel’s Day to Christmas Eve).

According to folk beliefs, the saint was the patron and master of wolves, therefore the wolf holidays begin on his day. It believed that from today the most terrible diseases are lurking. The people called the nights from November 11 to 21 “Mratinsky”.

In some regions of our country, in the past, children were often named after wolves – Valcho, Valkan, Valko, Valkana, because it was believed that they would grow up healthy and strong. The image of the wolf in these areas was considered a symbol of good luck.

On November 11, Mina, Victor, Victoria, Mincho, Minka and others celebrate their name day.

According to some beliefs, after this day, our great-grandfathers stopped going out late at night and did not meet with loved ones after sunset, so as not to provoke evil forces.

People in the past looked to this day to finish home repairs, finish strengthening fences, walls, roofs, so that there are no holes through which evil forces can sneak in. Nowadays, some also associate the holiday with a deadline to complete renovations on their home to prepare for winter.

A superstition says that if you see a person leaving your home with full bags or a bucket, it is a sign that money and acquisitions will go your way. But if you meet a person with an empty bag, this is associated with upcoming difficulties or trials.

If you find a hole in the garment on this day, it may be a sign of loss.
