Other signs for the Mihailovo Miracle (September 19)
On September 19, it was customary to organize a feast, gathering all friends and relatives at a common table. It was supposed to bring everyone a dish to the table, and they sorted out all the quarrels and insults. If there were no such people, it was necessary to quarrel over trifles and immediately make peace. We needed this rite in order not to swear and live in peace next year.
