Christmas signs in most cases always come true, which is why they are treated with special attention.
The seventh of January - the day when Christ was born, was especially for young unmarried girls, since Christmas is a holiday rich in love signs. So, on this day, those who were not married and soon dreamed of meeting their half, did not sweep the floors and did not take out the garbage out of the house so as not to scare the groom away.
It was very important for the girls to dress up and prepare for the Christmas meeting before dusk sets in. This concerned both married and free persons. It was believed that those who do not observe this tradition will be punished: their husbands will not love their wives, and unmarried women will not be able to find a worthy bridegroom.
