Alexey Rybny
On February 25, Orthodox worship the Metropolitan Alexy. According to signs, Alexia begins to melt snow and fish pecks well. Therefore, on February 25, fish dishes were prepared. The main dish on the table was pies. It is said that this word came from the verb "stretch." Pies were served to the broth and during the meal the broth was poured directly into the pie, in which a hole was left on top. In order to fill the broth inside the pie, this hole had to be stretched.
The peasants believed that it was necessary to take the seeds of sowing cereals to frost in Alexy. In this case, they will give a plentiful harvest. In the same way, yarn was also taken out of the hut, because the frozen threads became smoother.
As for the weather, it was believed that the colder it is on Alexy, the warmer it will become in March.
