📅 On August 15, 2026, Orthodox believers will observe the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos. Let's figure out what is actually forbidden by the church and what is just a folk superstition. 🙏
✨ The main meaning of the feast is hope for resurrection, not mourning.
🚫 Myths: you can't cut your hair, cut bread with a knife, or walk on dew. The Church does not forbid this!
✅ Reality: doctors and rescuers work, household cleaning is not a sin if it doesn't interfere with prayer.
🌦️ Folk signs: rainbow — to a warm autumn, frost — to cold weather.
