Folk signs for March 25

In the national calendar, the patrons of March twenty-fifth were considered Gregory and Theophan, who received the nickname "prolomi nast." According to the folk signs associated with this day, the peasants could judge the harvest of hemp and flax this year.
In the Orthodox Church, March twenty–fifth is the day on which St. Theophan the Confessor, St. Simeon the Theologian, and St. Gregory Dvoeslov are read.
Traditions and omens for the twenty-fifth of March.
Since ancient times, people have begun to notice that heavy morning mists usually gather on St. Theophan's Day. There was a sign that if you can see fog in the fields in the morning, it means that the harvest of flax and hemp this year will be plentiful and of high quality. In cold years, heavy morning frost falls on this day. Both of these signs may indicate that in a month and a half it is worth waiting for heavy rains. Most often, the rainy season of summer begins on the twelfth of June – St. Isaac's Day. The peasants were waiting for the beginning of the rainy season, because precipitation is very necessary for future harvests. The beginning of the rains was a guarantee that the crops would grow well this year.
Fogs on Feofan are usually warm, so people said that Feofan's fogs "eat up" the snow. It is due to this feature of the day that a large amount of snow falls on the twenty-fifth of March. It is from this day on that the tobogganing begins to deteriorate, and the peasants think that it is time to clean up the sleigh and prepare the cart for the warm season. If the soil had already thawed well by that day, then in many regions, especially in the southern ones, the sowing of early radishes began.
On St. Theophan's Day, there was a custom that, according to ancient people, helped to improve the quality of the future harvest. In order for the crops to grow well this year, on the twenty-fifth of March, farmers fed their domestic birds with hemp or flax seeds.
In ancient times, people believed that St. Theophan was able to protect horses from diseases and give them strength. That is why on this day people performed a certain rite, which helped to protect horses from illness, as well as the evil eye and lightning strike. Since ancient times, it was believed that spring water had a special effect on horses.: she made them kinder and more friendly to people, and also created invulnerability to various corruptions, evil eyes and other influences of evil spirits. But in order for the horse to gain the healing and magical power of water, it had to be watered "through silver." Most often, a silver coin or any other silver product was placed in a drinking container for this purpose.
