There is a sign of " how to celebrate the New Year , so spend it " and many go out of their way , what would a festive night was the most vivid . And in fact that is the transition from December 31 to January 1 ? just change the calendar.This sign - one of their set , the people have a mass of any prejudices and superstitions for all occasions .The word - superstition is quite interesting in its composition : Sue - Veroia belief in vain ....." Superstition - prejudice , whereby much happening seems a manifestation of supernatural powers , or a sign of fate omen of the future ."

We're confident that this is a black cat in trouble .And there are still 13 Friday , look in the mirror , if returned halfway , pearls for the bride - tears in marriage and so on, so forth.The Orthodox Church rejects any kind of prejudice , considering their heritage paganism.
