Couples planning to get married are wondering if 2020 will be a widow or widower. These are mainly people who believe in popular signs and superstitions. Whether 2020 is a favorable year for marriage or spouses are waiting for separation and misery, we will examine further.
Omens and superstition
According to popular belief, a leap year is an unfavorable time for marriage. Two years following him are considered widows and widowers. Previously, people believed that couples who married during this period would have an unhappy life or a quick separation. A wife or husband can lose their soul mate early.
Some people say that folk signs were formed on the basis of many years of observation, and have some mystical meaning, but this is not entirely true. Previously, indeed, many people died in wars, so women lost their husbands, and men lost wives. People associated these events with mysticism and tried to find a pattern, but in practice there is no confirmation of the veracity of superstition. It is enough to look at the statistics to understand that there is no connection between the deaths of spouses and the year of marriage.
Important! And although 2020 is not the year of the black widow, according to popular beliefs, it is unfavorable for the wedding, because it has one more day (leap).
Marry or not
Since 2020 is a leap year, it is considered unfavorable for a wedding. Previously, it was not recommended to marry during this period, since the couple will be waiting for trials, separation, illness, betrayal. In addition, they did not begin to build a house, did not get married and did not give birth to children, and if descendants appeared, they were immediately baptized. According to popular legend, February 29 was Kasyanov or devilish day. On this day, Satan descended to the earth and did evil to people. For this reason, the entire leap year was considered unsuccessful and even to some extent dangerous to people.
Many people still believe in long-standing superstition now, and therefore avoid weddings in a leap year. But if you listen to all beliefs, then the marriage should be postponed for several years. If you are not ready to wait, then go to the registry office. In addition, there are many signs and rules that can reduce the negative impact of a special period.
From a scientific point of view, a leap year cannot have a mystical effect, since its formation arose as a result of human activities, or rather people who worked on the development of the Julian calendar. There was a difference of 6 hours between the system proposed by scientists and astronomical dates. An additional day in February every 4 years offset this difference.
Interesting! The popular belief about unfavorable marriages did not arise from scratch. The fact is that in the old days matchmakers refused to make a young leap year. If a girl was in love with a guy, she would come and sit under the gate. I could stay like this for several days. If the parents decided to arrange a wedding, they went to the girl, while no one asked the young man for consent. As a result, one-sided love and unhappy marriage.
Signs of happiness
If you believe in superstition, deciding to marry in 2020, pay attention to the following signs and tips:
- After the wedding, the bride should not sell or borrow a dress, veil or accessories. Otherwise, he will give or sell his happiness to another pair.
- During the marriage, one of the relatives should say the phrase: “I am crowning with a crown, not a leap-end”.
- The dress of the future wife must necessarily be longer than her knees, so that a joint life with her lover was long and happy.
- On the way to the registry office, the newlyweds should not turn back.
- The bride should not wear a glove ring. Otherwise, there will soon be a divorce.
- For the family to live happily ever after, the first three anniversaries of the wife should lay the tablecloth that was on the wedding table of the newlyweds.
- So that the couple does not experience financial difficulties, before the marriage, they need to put a coin in their shoes.
True love can overcome any obstacles, and certainly she is not afraid of popular superstitions. By the way, the church does not prohibit marriage in a leap year. When choosing a wedding date, you should only pay attention to the posts, big holidays and days of reverence for the memory of the departed. These days, priests do not have a wedding ceremony. There are no other prohibitions.
If you love each other and want to get married in 2020, do not postpone the wedding due to the fact that he is a leap or widow. These are just prejudices that have no scientific basis. The main thing is love and the desire to create a strong family. The experience of many people who have previously married only confirms this.
