St. Blasius day 3. February
Superstition:
If the wind is calm on this day, there will be few snakes this year.
If there are strong winds or storms there will be snakes, toads and pests in plenty. Other animals will also awaken early from hibernation.
Stay from using tools that turn on this day, like a spinning wheel, as it will curse your pets with illness.
Two white candles, blessed at Candlemass, can be held in a cross over the throat while saying a blessing to remove pain in this area.
