October 19: what not to do on the day of the prophet Joel and the main signs

According to glavcom.ua: Today, October 19, the Orthodox Church commemorates the memory of the holy prophet Joel, who called the people to repentance and predicted the sending of the Holy Spirit. This is one of the many religious holidays that the church celebrates.

Joel prophesied about the punishments for sins, but at the same time he promised God's mercy for those who sincerely repent. His predictions about the sending of the Holy Spirit came true on Pentecost, and he also foretold the terrible judgment and salvation for the righteous.

On this day, there are also folk beliefs about the weather that helped our ancestors predict the future climate. It is worth remembering their wisdom to prepare for possible changes in the weather.
