When is St. Andrew’s Day 2023? Why is it worth sleeping without clothes this evening?
We celebrate St. Andrew’s Day on the night of November 29-30. Since much of what is associated with this holiday concerns primarily the sphere of love, it is no wonder that it is most popular among single women. It turns out that superstitions are also closely related to them. For example, it is believed that on this day a single woman should refrain from eating anything and only eat salty herring in the evening. Thanks to this, she will dream of her future lover at night. A superstition that prevails in Germany is said to have a similar effect. According to him, for this to happen, single women should sleep without clothes on the night of November 29-30. Thanks to this, they will also dream about their next love.
