Since ancient times, signs and beliefs were taken very seriously. There are many legends and cultural opinions regarding the whole course of human life. Nowadays, modern people pay much less attention to the trends of the old faith, but still some listen to the opinion of their ancestors. One such issue is the leap year feature. Many sources distinguish it from others, especially in the fact that children born in a leap year are special.
Opinions
The people have three opinions regarding whether it is possible to give birth in a leap year. The first of them is completely negative: beliefs promise the baby a rather unhappy life. The second opinion is more optimistic, but you can also be skeptical about it, because these ideas about “leap-like” children attribute to them not only luck, but also unusual mystical abilities.
The third opinion is indifference, that is, people absolutely do not distinguish this year from the rest and deny its peculiarity. It is worth more carefully studying this issue to understand why certain legends flatter or negatively talk about whether it is possible to give birth in a leap year.
Negative side
Many girls wonder whether it is possible to give birth in a leap year. After all, grandmothers say terrible things. Some believe that children born in a leap year will certainly be unhappy, painful, constantly injured and will not live their entire life. And the worst thing is to be born just on the extra day, February 29th. It is worth noting that this knowledge has come to us since the time of Julius Caesar. Even then, people were not merciful to this year.
Saint Kasyan
The reason for the negative attitude towards this time was the legend of St. Kasyan. According to legend, this was a very mean, mercenary and cunning saint. In religious records there is a story about how he betrayed God by telling Satan about his plans, namely, the act of expelling the fallen angel and his supporters from heaven.
But due to fright or some other reasons, Kasyan repented and confessed to God in his betrayal, for which he received a strange punishment. For three years in a row an angel followed him and hit him on the head with a hammer, and in a leap year the saint rested from punishment. Despite the fact that he was forgiven, many religious people associate this year with him. And therefore it is believed that a child born in a leap year receives part of the saint's disfavor. Naturally, every year the legend was overgrown with a large number of facts, coincidences and inventions. And now it’s almost impossible to figure out what is true and what is fiction. One thing is for sure - many
modern mothers are afraid to give birth this year, especially on February 29, believing in old signs and beliefs.
Upbeat side
A positive attitude towards a leap year also went from antiquity, but, however, it is almost not connected with religion. In ancient times, it was believed that a child born at this time receives sacred knowledge and a special purpose. A leap year was given a special meaning, they believed that it was a portal to the other world. In other words, it was at this time that the connection with another dimension was stronger and stronger than in other years. Therefore, they mystify him and give him a magical meaning.
Born in a leap year: signs and ultimate mission
Because of this connection with the other world, children born during this period were considered special. They were appreciated and respected because they believed that they had not just come to this world. And that a person born in a leap year is able to transmit information and a sign given from above, without even knowing about it.
The main thing is that the person to whom this message is intended could see and unravel it. In addition, if you have such a person in your environment, he will bring you happiness and joy. It is still believed that those born in a leap year
(signs confirm
this ) will be happier and more successful than others, they will not need material wealth and will bring happiness to the whole family.
Third opinion
A third party is quite skeptical about this issue. That is, in their opinion, the signs and beliefs regarding a leap year are unjustified and unfounded, therefore, they should not be taken seriously, so the question of whether to give birth in a leap year is not at all worth it. A man, regardless of his date of birth, creates his own life.
And even if there is a place for mystical moments in his fate, or coincidences suggest an opinion that events are like signs, this does not mean that it is so. After all, a person could provoke such situations in life. It is necessary to seriously overestimate your behavior and actions, to understand what exactly could bring events to life, and why such a stage has now begun.
In a leap year, you can’t give birth or is it possible?
Regardless of whether the baby was born in a leap year or not, it is not worth branding a child under any circumstances. You should not look in advance for signs of a magician or a prophet in him, there is no point in shying away from him and believing that in any case he will fall ill, get hurt or die early. All this is meaningless, because only life and time will be able to show the fate of the baby.
It is best not to pay attention to which year a person was born. After all, it is possible that he himself does not think that his year of birth is a leap year. In addition, it may not even have crossed his mind that this year is any different from the rest.
Any prejudice is unimportant if you give your child a good upbringing, love and attention. Planning a baby’s birth date should not depend on signs and beliefs. One family in Norway spent a lot of time and effort on such planning. They have three children of different ages, and all were born on February 29th. Parents tried to give birth to magicians and prophets, but in the end, none of the children showed any supernatural skills.
As for the adherents of negative opinion about this year, it is worth noting that many famous people were born in a leap year, some actors and entertainers celebrate their birthday on February 29th. And these public people do not confirm the fears of the religious side, they are healthy and happy. But if from childhood we worry and convince a person that God will not be merciful to him because of the year of birth, then perhaps he, twisting himself, will attract troubles and misfortunes into his life, as well as his parents, who will constantly experience about this for my child. Psychologists say that if a person is talked about something very often or with constant frequency, even if it is not at all, over time, a person will believe in these words.
In any case, if the baby is scheduled to be born in a leap year, you should not panic and sound the alarm. Many of the knowledge that has come down to us from the past is not necessarily absolute. And often, as in this case, for example, completely unconfirmed. If you do not worry and impose your fears or hopes on the baby, but love and take care of him, a good person will surely grow out of him.
