Old Orthodox Christians celebrate Annunciation

Old Orthodox Christians celebrate Annunciation, also known as Blagovestenia, today. The feast is marked by Christian calendar on 07 April yearly and it is dedicated to the Mother of God.

The Church asserts that significance of the holiday is represented by moment when "Archangel Gabriel announces that the Virgin Mary will give birth to our Saviour Jesus Christ. The Christians keep this feast with holiness, given that nine months away, Christ is born."

Also, not only Orthodox Church, but also the Catholic Church, maintains that Annunciation took place in Nazareth, and the only different aspect is exact location where that miracle happened.

The Annunciation is freeing fish, and tradition says that the one that tastes fish then will feel aal year like fish in water. The ancestors believed that fishermen were not allowed to throw samp into pond water because fish died.

Similarly on this day it is good to lay bread and salt for food of angels on threshold of the house. At the same time, it is considered that "as it is weather of Annunciation, so will it be Easter".
