This is a holiday celebrated in the days that honor the apostles Bartholomew and Varnava.
According to the people St. Bartholomew is the master of the sky elements -
hails and thunders. It is not allowed to work in the fields on that day,
the women do not wash their hair so that they will not become
"scatter-brained" and "stupid",
meaning that they will not suffer from headaches and dizziness.
The cattle should not be harnesses for the same reason.
Church Holiday: St. Apostle Bartholomew and
St. Apostle Varnava are Christ's students. It is believed that St. Bartholomew
translates the Gospel into Hindi.
