The thing about superstitions is that some people believe in them and others don’t. However, those related to Slavic and Christian traditions are interesting and simple. Making them certainly won’t cause us any problems, what’s more, it may bring pleasure to other household members and, who knows, maybe it will actually make fate look more favorably upon us and happiness smile broadly.
Sometimes we may feel like we are being haunted by bad luck. Regardless of whether we believe that it may be fate’s fault or not, it is worth remembering this one superstition throughout the holidays, not only on January 6. This superstition says that Christmas tree needles should not lie on the floor on Twelfth Night.. For people with trees, this may be problematic. Cut Christmas trees tend to lose needles after a few weeks and it is sometimes difficult to control this, but according to old superstitions, on January 6, you should especially pay attention to it.
Fallen needles may herald the arrival of bad luckand if we step on them, we will spread them throughout the house. So, both for reasons of superstition and from a purely practical point of view, it is worth regularly cleaning the needles from the Christmas tree. Interestingly, this superstition has its roots in Old Slavic beliefs, when decorations with Christmas tree branches were hung from the ceiling.
