Up to a certain age, the birthday celebration does not raise any questions related to how many years are celebrated for the hero of the occasion, who can be widely celebrated. The birthday man invites guests and with joyful trepidation at heart accepts sincere congratulations from them. Every year a person grows, and now reaches the mark of 33 years. It is from this age that he begins to doubt and think about whether it is worth organizing a holiday or slowly "sit out" without guests, to pretend that his birthday is gone. What is the reason for such an unusual behavior of the birthday man in his years?
Listen to old folk signs
The fact is that popular beliefs still claim that it is better not to celebrate some dates. This is due to many superstitions. Why do not celebrate 33 years old man? Is it worth sticking to popular opinions, because there are more than a dozen signs (and even not one thousand years)?
Not everyone will be able to give a clear explanation for the unwritten law banning the celebration of this date. However, many try to avoid triumph, being in some kind of superstitious fear, not really knowing why a man should not celebrate 33 years old, what will happen to the poor fellow if he dares to contradict such an ancient belief.
Sign of the Bible
It turns out that, strangely enough, the roots of such a superstition go straight from the Bible. At thirty-three years old, Jesus Christ was crucified and suffered very much for the sins of mortal people. It would seem, why one cannot celebrate 33 years now, when this story took place a very long time, because no one from the celebration of his birthday will feel bad. But not everything is so simple. From ancient times among the people it is considered sinful to indulge in fun in such years. Christ suffered at 33, and a person will suffer a year without celebrating his holiday with a merry walk. Thirty-three years is commonly called the age of Christ. It is believed that this age will not be superfluous with all respect and memory of the salvation that Christ gave to people.
Superstitious explanation
This explanation of why 33 years are not celebrated also came from antiquity. A large number of birthday men and their relatives adhered to the version that after this man celebrates this anniversary, failures will lie in wait for him. And well, the ban was explained only by failures, but sorrow and intense suffering promise a person. It is not difficult to guess where the roots of this superstition come from. Yes, it turns out that again from the Bible.
Are men scared?
Unconsciously, apparently already at the DNA level, fear does not let the birthday man go. Fear of experiencing severe suffering is one of the restraining factors why men are not celebrated for 33 years. There is no other explanation for this illogical act. Thirty-three is a gorgeous date: a man is still healthy and full of strength, he is young, he must enjoy life. And instead of joy on his birthday, for some reason, he experiences a latent inexplicable and superstitious fear. A representative of a strong half of humanity prefers to slowly survive his next birthday, so as not to suffer torment comparable to the torment of Jesus Christ.
Sign for the pious or for the superstitious?
Why do not 33 years old men not related to the church celebrate? Yes, even atheists seek to skip this date, not to celebrate such an ambiguous event. Maybe the whole point is that it is the atheists who in most cases strive to adhere to the signs associated with superstitions? A truly believing person will not follow any signs so thoughtlessly and desperately.
Why don't they celebrate 33 years, or at least people fear this age, regardless of whether they are atheists or not?
If you try to understand the situation, approaching it from a more practical point of view, you can immediately notice that in fact this ban, to put it mildly, is not entirely reasonable.
Judge for yourselves: truly believing men should not believe in superstition. Everyone knows that the church clearly does not approve of superstitious actions and thoughts. Consequently, a devout person can celebrate his thirty-third birthday. It is more important here that the celebration should not be at the time of fasting, or even more so, on Good Friday - at this time the church really prohibits any amusement and libation.
An atheist man does not believe in what a God-fearing man believes. Therefore, there is no reason for him not to celebrate his holiday. The atheist does not believe in Christ, respectively, he does not believe that misfortunes can befall him, because the roots of superstition, in any case, come from the Bible. So the atheist is not a hindrance to celebrate the thirty-third year of life.
And now, perhaps, a third group of future birthday people has appeared. These people did not even know about such a sign, but now they suddenly saw that 33 years should not be celebrated. Such men should think about the fact that many celebrate this date and live happily ever after until their very old age.
Any person has the right to decide for himself whether or not he will celebrate his 33 years.
