Παναγιώτης ΧατζήςIn 2026 it falls on a Tuesday, so I will go to the church of Agios Panteleimon in the morning like every year. The article says not to do laundry on that day; I remember it from my grandmother, but I never quite understood why. Does anyone know the reason?

ალექსანდრე წიკლაურიWe always go to church on July 21, but this year it's Tuesday, so it's really convenient. When washing shirts, my grandmother used to tell me that "you hurt your soul", although I don't understand exactly why. Does anyone know the real reason?
