Despite the brutal torture, they refused to renounce Christ, choosing martyrdom over betraying their beliefs. Eutropius and Cleonicus were crucified, while Basilisk was beheaded, leaving behind a legacy of unwavering devotion that continues to inspire the faithful.
Some folk traditions warn against certain actions on this day:
Avoid conflicts — quarrels, arguments, or gossip may bring misfortune.
Do not take or lend money after sunset — it is believed to attract financial losses.
Do not go into the woods — with nature awakening, wild animals become more active, increasing the risk of danger.
Additionally, our ancestors closely observed nature on March 3 to predict the upcoming season:
If crows are digging in the snow — expect clear and warm weather.
If the snow is melting around the tree trunks — it foretells a long and drawn-out spring.
If geese are flying high in the sky — it is a sign of an impending flood.
If the starling has returned from migration, it predicts a bountiful harvest in the summer.
In ancient times, young women also performed a special ritual to preserve their youth and beauty. On the night before March 3, they placed a silver ornament or an egg in a bowl of water. In the morning, they washed their faces with this water, believing it would bring them radiance and longevity.
