Signs and beliefs persecute people since ancient times, and most people believe in them and follow their "advice". Today we will talk, perhaps, about the most famous sign, and try to find out why you can not put on the table empty bottles.
Why do not they put empty bottles on the table?
Almost every person knows that an empty bottle on the table is a bad sign that promises poverty, hunger and other worldly problems. In ancient times, it was also thought that an empty vessel standing on a table would tighten all the energy of a person, his health, strength and luck. By the way, one more legend can not leave empty bottles, especially if there is not a woman giving birth, because it may threaten her with very difficult births in the future or in general can deprive a woman of the joys of motherhood.
Another version, in an empty bottle live evil spirits, which can break out and cause a lot of disasters, so an empty vessel should not only be removed from the table, but also must be closed. Deterioration of financial situation, serious illnesses, discord in the family, quarrel with close people, all this can happen to a person, if you believe this sign.
But still this custom has a very real explanation, which is completely unrelated to the beliefs and examples. The fact is that during the First World War, in taverns, as a rule, they had to pay for the number of alcohol consumed, namely, by the number of empty bottles, so soldiers who visited entertainment places often hid empty bottles under the table to give less money for dinner.
It was from those times that the tradition began , not to put empty bottles on the table. So it's up to you personally to decide, refers to this custom as a warning to ancestors or simply as a historical fact.
