Many superstitions have been associated with leap years since ancient times. One of them says that this year you cannot marry and get married. What is this sign connected with?
A leap year differs from a regular year by having 366 days instead of 365 due to February 29th. By the way, several folk signs are also associated with this "extra" day. Our ancestors believed that in a leap year it is impossible not only to marry, but also to have offspring, to acquire or build housing. That is, any serious undertakings that are capable of making global adjustments to a person's fate were banned.
Leap year and wedding
The mystical leap year or the year of Kasyan, as the people say, is not recommended for a wedding because lovers who tied the knot during this period will not be able to experience family happiness. Frequent quarrels, misfortunes and illnesses will accompany the couple throughout the entire journey; the omen also says that a marriage entered into in a leap year will not last long. And a series of failures for the newlyweds will invariably lead to a breakup.
There is another period when it is not recommended to arrange a wedding celebration. As in a leap year, you should not get married in May, so as not to “toil” for the rest of your life.
Today, not all young people believe in omens, so in the registry offices in leap years, which includes 2012, for example, fewer registered marriages were observed. However, informing your family and friends about the desire to get married or get married in a "bad" leap year, you can face a misunderstanding.
According to signs, in a leap year, the bride herself could determine the groom for herself, and the matchmakers could go to the house of her betrothed. And almost always the future husband agreed. Perhaps this is why people were wary of leap year weddings.
Superstitions in a leap year
Since ancient times, the opinion has been formed that in a leap year there are more accidents, defaults, financial crises, natural disasters and other negative events. But statistics say that this is just prejudice. With which you can and should fight.
Since February 29, a special custom has been associated in Ireland - any girl herself can propose to the man she likes, without waiting for the first step from him.
It is believed that the effect of a leap year can be weakened by choosing a successful date, according to astrological forecasts. And, of course, there is no need to give in to doubts, firmly believing in the good. Then the wedding will be successful, and family life will be like a good fairy tale. If a psychological factor has affected you, it is really better to postpone the celebration for a year, so as not to think about failure every second.
