Folk omens provide a clear interpretation of why one should not kill spiders living in houses and apartments.
Besides, Christians also have a reason not to deal with these arthropods.
Folk omens
The spider has long been associated with luck and wisdom. Ancestors believed that a house inhabited by spiders would bring prosperity and happiness.
In addition, people believed that if there was a web hanging in a home, then all the negative energy from outside would collide with the webs and get stuck in them.
Why spiders should not be killed by believers
There is a belief that Mary and Joseph with the baby Jesus were hiding from the reprisals of King Herod's henchmen. It is believed that spiders spun a web that helped throw the soldiers off the trail of the Messiah's parents.
Therefore, there is a sign that believers should not kill spiders that saved parents and little Christ from reprisal. Those who violate the warning will face a series of misfortunes. It is especially dangerous to kill a small spider - to problems with children.
However, you don't have to live with spiders. You can simply release the arthropods outside, and they will make a nest for themselves under the roof or in the grass.
