The Orthodox Church honors the memory of the preacher and theologian Ephraim the Syrian. The saint lived in the 4th century, was a teacher of the Christian church and a poet. One of his most important works is the interpretation of the Holy Scriptures.
Among the people, Sirin was called Sverchkov’s deputy and Winemaker, and February 10 was called Efremov’s day. Also on this day, Brownie Day is celebrated.

In addition, they left gifts for the brownie so that he would not disturb them.

Your name is a real image,

A festive day in every home is an event.
A new morning brings the dawn,
The joy of knowledge, the discovery of the world,
A fragrant bouquet of bright flowers.
May congratulations with a warm stream
bring grace to your soul.
Looking from the sky with an unsleeping eye,
your Angel will always help.
