What Can and Cannot Be Done on November 12, 2024 On November 12, 2024, the memory of the holy martyr Zinoviy, Bishop of Aegea, and his sister Zinovia is honored. Among the people, this day is called the "Titmouse Festival" because, around this time, birds from the north, including tits and bullfinches, usually arrive for the winter. The second name, Zinkin, is associated with the resemblance of the word "zinkak," often used to refer to tits, to the saints' names. The brother and sister were born in 200 AD in Cilicia (a region in the southeastern part of Asia Minor) to a Christian family. From an early age, they led a quiet, modest, godly life. Shortly after their parents' death, they agreed to distribute all their family's possessions to avoid any worldly distractions. For his faith and integrity, Zinoviy was chosen as the head of the main community in his hometown. The Lord rewarded him with the gift of healing. Zinoviy tirelessly helped those in need and preached to pagans, guiding them toward Christianity. What can be done on November 12, 2024? It's time to make and hang bird feeders.
