There are many signs associated with the feast.
One of them says that spouses who are sitting at the same holiday table should not clink glasses with each other.
But why?
Here we need to pay attention to where exactly the tradition of clinking glasses came from.
In ancient times, when there was fierce competition for power and the good life, enemies could add poison. So people who suspected something was wrong suggested clinking glasses so that the drops of the drinks would mix.
But for a man and a woman who lived in a happy marriage, mistrust was considered unacceptable.
That's why the husband and wife never clinked glasses.
Superstitious people are sure that it is important to always remember this rule.
According to the signs, spouses who nevertheless violated the ban and decided to clink glasses of alcohol doomed themselves to quarrels, financial difficulties, and infidelity.
