1 septembrie este începutul anului bisericesc. Semnificație și tradiții: Unii români cred într-o superstiție legată de vreme

September 1 marks the beginning of the ecclesiastical year for Orthodox Christians, symbolizing the start of a new liturgical cycle. This date is significant as it relates to the creation of the world and the commencement of Jesus Christ's public ministry. A Te Deum service will be held at the National Cathedral to celebrate this occasion. The ecclesiastical year is divided into three main periods: Triodion, Pentecostarion, and Octoechos, with key feasts dedicated to the Virgin Mary marking its beginning and end. Additionally, various folk traditions and superstitions are associated with this day, including beliefs about weather predictions and household activities. September 1 is also the feast day of Saint Dionysius Exiguus, known for his contributions to Christian chronology.
