It is impossible to convey in words this beauty, when the trees are covered with frost - you find yourself in a real winter fairy tale. Pro last month many proverbs and sayings have been written down. “December ends the year, winter begins,” people say. Also, over the course of many centuries, many folk signs of December were compiled, according to which one can guess about the upcoming weather and harvest.

December weather tips

This is how you live and live - and suddenly you find out that all these years you have been freezing wrong! Not in Russian! It turns out that there are much more varieties of frost than modern mass culture teaches us; Epiphany and Christmas are just the tip of the iceberg. We present to your attention the correct schedule of cold weather!

Russian humanitarian encyclopedic Dictionary 2002 edition announces: in folk calendar the following types of frosts are distinguished (after the dash, the dates of the beginning of the dubak periods are indicated, in brackets - according to the new style; we added brief explanations on our own why they are so called).

The folk holiday "Mikhailov's Day" marked the end of the summer-autumn agricultural work.

Fedoseevs - January 11 (24)

Fedosev day, aka Fedosey Vesnyak, aka Fedoseyevo is warm in the folk calendar. According to the weather on that day, your ancestors determined whether spring would come soon: it would be warm - to early warming, no - no.

The calendar is tasty and useful, but it is clearly gaping with gaps and clearings. Where are the colds that from year to year attribute March to winter (we would call them "spoilers")? Why are the nasty frosts that traditionally poison May holidays for summer residents (let's call them "bird cherry", because the same folk rumor connects them with the time of flowering of this insidious plant) not indicated? And, of course, there is a place for "unexpected" frosts, which are so much to spoil the blood of citizens, holidays and the summer season somewhere in June or August with September. In general, there is a job for the descendants of your ancestors!

The first month of winter was significant for our ancestors: they monitored how much snow fell, whether the water in the well was noisy, how much frost fell on the trees. All this was extremely importance. In December, according to folk signs, they predicted the weather for the next 12 months, the girls guessed at the betrothed, and the peasants determined what the harvest would be like.

What is another name for the month?

The name of the first month of winter comes from the Latin "ten". A similar origin has its name in the ancient church tradition - Decembrian, and in the original calendar of the Romans - December. The fact is that earlier this month occupied the tenth place in the calendar, but Caesar's reform made it the twelfth.

The people of December had several names:

• jelly;
• cold;
• icy;
• student;
• zazimnik;
• chest;
• student;
• winter road.

The last month of the year is also called the time of the white trails, because winter begins with it.

December in ancient times was called poetically - the time of white trails

Common folk signs of December

Many December signs are associated with weather forecasting:

• abundance of snow and hard frosts - next year will be fruitful;
• clouds floating in southbound, promise a clear day, in the north - bad weather;
• the bright brilliance of the stars means that tomorrow will be a frosty day;
• the pallor of the moon portends snow and rain;
• clear sky without clouds - to frost;
• if snowdrifts fill up the fence closely, the summer will be cloudy and rainy, there remains a gap - to summer heat and clear sun.

We also monitored what kind of weather prevails in December - sunny or cloudy. If there are more clear days, next year the harvest will not please. The month will be cloudy and snowy - grains will be harvested in excess. Dry - portends the same spring, and thunder in the last month of the year - to a harsh, frosty winter.

The peasants tried to stock up on firewood in December. It was believed that the logs felled during this period would not turn out to be rotten, and the wood borer would not spoil them.

When predicting the weather, they paid attention to the behavior of animals. A frosty day portends a cat that hides its muzzle. The spotted fur coat of hares means that winter will not test people with severe frosts, there are many thaws ahead. The dog wallowed in a snowdrift - the hunt was canceled, a blizzard was expected.

Many signs relate to the behavior of birds:

• the bullfinch chirps, the magpie hides - there will be a strong blizzard;
• the bullfinch sings at the windows - you can wait for warming;
• sparrows are hiding, tits are calling - the temperature will drop significantly;
• birds fly chaotically - will drop out soon big snow;
• crows walk on the ground - to warming, croak loudly - to severe frost;
• jackdaws unite and shout together - tomorrow the weather will be sunny;
• rooks do not fly away, but remain to winter - the winter will be mild, with thaws.

Wedding in December: folk signs, church traditions, lunar forecast

Since ancient times, in the first winter month, our ancestors got married and played weddings. By December, the peasants completed all agricultural work and preparations for the long winter, and therefore the wedding time came for the youth. In addition, according to popular signs, December unions will be happy, and beliefs in love promise love to the grave, mutual respect and prosperity.

Wedding in December: what will the weather say?

Traditionally, on the wedding day, people watched nature to find out what to expect for the young in the future.

• Heavy snowfall or a blizzard for a wedding is very good omen. This means that the young will not know the need. The more snow that day, the stronger the family budget will be.
• Are there frosts? Good sign. According to the sign, the newlyweds expect mutual fidelity and passion.
• And the wedding frost predicts that the first child in the family will be a boy. The stronger the cold, the more physical strength and good luck the future child will receive.
• A warm day without precipitation and winds to restless, but interesting life. The sign promises the newlyweds prosperity, love and health, but at the same time predicts a lot of worries.
• Rain is coming? good sign This means that money will always flow.
• And the rains for the wedding in December predict a healthy continuation of the family and family life no scandals.
• Changeable weather throughout the wedding day is a bad omen. This means that the newlyweds will not live in perfect harmony.

By the way, according to an old sign, guests should be seated on fur coats (fur coats made of faux fur are also allowed). Our ancestors were convinced: after such a trick, the young will live in love and harmony, and also a sign promises wealth and prosperity.

Religious calendar: is it possible to get married in December 2019?

In December 2019, the time of the Advent begins, which lasts from November 28 to January 6. According to the canons Orthodox Church during this period, it is forbidden to get married.

True, if you wish, you can sign in the registry office, and carry out the wedding ceremony after Lent.

And also believers are not advised to get married on December 4 (according to the old style on November 21). On this day, a great church holiday is celebrated - the Entry into the Temple of the Most Holy Theotokos. Even the baptism of children cannot be scheduled for this date.

Good and bad dates for a wedding in December 2019

Astrologer's tips will help you choose the best date for your December wedding. Three dates have been named that are considered the most favorable for a wedding celebration: December 1, 2 and 8.

• Favorable days for a wedding in December 2019: 6, 9, 10, 13, 20, 27, 30, 31.
• bad days for a wedding in December 2019: 14, 17–19, 21, 25, 26.

Our ancestors called the first winter month the time of the white trails, since winter begins from it. December also had other names: zazimnik, icy, chest, zimnik, student. People kept track of how much snow had fallen, whether the water was making noise in the well, how much frost was on the branches of trees and shrubs.

By all these signs it was possible to predict the weather for the whole next year. The peasants determined how rich (or, conversely, poor) the crop would be. Predictions came true, and therefore have survived to this day. Joinfo.ua will tell about folk omens for December in his material.

Our ancestors considered the last month of the year special. It is customary to sum up and make plans for the future. To make this easier, it is recommended to take into account folk signs that have come down to us from time immemorial.

General signs for December

Folk omens this month are mostly related to the weather. So, if during December they stand bitter frosts, then you can expect a good harvest in the coming year. If the clouds float to the South in the morning, then the day promises to be clear, if to the North, then gloomy. A pale moon at night in December is a harbinger of wet snow during the day. Large snowdrifts indicate that sunny days there won't be much next summer.

Sunny weather in December does not promise a good harvest. But cloudy days, on the contrary, promise that summer residents and gardeners will have something to rejoice at. If cloudy and snowy days are established frequently, then there will be especially a lot of cereals. No precipitation during the first winter month- a sign that spring will be the same as the previous one.

Our forefathers observed the behavior of animals and birds. A cat that hides its muzzle hints that the day will turn out to be frosty. If the hares "wear" spotted fur coats, then the frosts throughout the winter will not be severe. The dog, which swings in a snowdrift, "calls" to the owners to cancel the hunt, as a heavy snowstorm is expected.

If a bullfinch sings right at the window, then a thaw will come. Randomly flying birds are a sign of heavy snowfall. Crows walking on the ground promise warming, and if they croak loudly, then big frosts will hit. But screaming jackdaws portend a sunny day.

Notes for every day

This day indicated what winter would be like. If December 1 turns out to be warm, then all three upcoming months will be the same, not without exception, of course. A frosty day, respectively, hints that it is worth waiting for frosts in the future. A strong wind indicates that the winter will be blizzard. The changeable weather on the first day of December also testifies to the capricious winter.

In the old days, the Slavs prepared sbiten on December 2, seasoning it with medicinal herbs. This remedy was taken during colds throughout the winter. In Avdeya, it was customary to take care of the household. It was believed: a successful wintering depends on how many things can be done during this day.

The weather on this day corresponds to the weather of the first days of June. If it snows or rains, then the beginning of summer will turn out to be rainy.

The day was also called the gate of winter. If the snow that fell after December 4 lies until the onset of spring, then a rich harvest can be expected.

There is a folk saying about this day: “Prokop digs a snowdrift, walks through the snow, gives way to the sleigh.” From this we can conclude that after December 5, heavy snow can be expected.

Look at which direction the wind is blowing. If from the North, then June will rain. And if snow falls on Mitrofan, then there is no doubt about it.

Unmarried girls can guess at their betrothed. Katerina patronizes the creation of a family, so prophecies often come true. Clear weather on December 7 portends a frosty continuation of winter.

Do you want to be lucky in any business? Start it on an empty stomach. In the old days, on December 8, women sat down at the spinning wheels, and the representatives of the stronger sex threshed grain.

If you have a well in your yard, listen to see if the water is noisy in it. If it is quiet, then winter will please with the absence of frost. Hear noises? Then don't be fooled! In the old days, people believed that it was on this day that all the bears, as if on command, fit into their dens for hibernation.

To get rid of various troubles and failures, wake up early and face the North. This ritual is aimed at clearing your life of adversity: they are carried away by the wind. People who could not have children for a long time asked Roman to get rid of infertility.

Happiness, prosperity and joy await the family if on this day a jay flies to the window and sings. On December 11, you can tell fortunes for the fulfillment of a wish.
