There is a popular belief that you shouldn't drink water on Christmas Day. Where does it come from and does the church really prohibit drinking ordinary water on January 7?
Can you drink water at Christmas?
The belief that you should not drink water on January 7 has existed for a long time. They say that drinking water on Christmas in the next seven years will not be happy, and when you really want to drink, you will not get water. They also say that in summer they will be tormented by intense thirst.
However, the church does not in any way prohibit drinking water. The only exception is water on the table, not water in general. People who go to church at Christmas have a "don't eat or drink" rule, but not everyone else.
If you drink water on Christmas, then nothing dangerous will happen in the future. It is better to exclude alcoholic drinks, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and drink water, on the contrary. As you know, a person consists of 80% water and it is vital for him, therefore water will not do anything bad.
Can I go fishing on Christmas Day?
Another exciting question regarding water. However, a caveat should be made here, fishing is more about animals than water. As you know, from January 7 to January 19, killing animals is generally a sin, including fishing. It is categorically undesirable to go fishing, although it is not prohibited by law. The church does not advise believers even in terms of rest: catch a fish and let it go.
During the New Year's religious holidays, it is better to exclude all fishing and hunting trips, it is better to go to church services or spend time with your family.
