April 17 — Joseph's Day (Osipa), alder brisons. Spring the crane on the wings brings
Krympress reports:
Sidrins — because on this day it was customary to look closely at Olch and make forecasts when she would bloom. The people attributed special healing properties to this tree, as well as precisely from Olha made well log houses. In addition, on April 17 they followed the bees, trying to understand when to expose the hives.
And on Osip’s day they said: “The first swallow is not spring, the crane brings it on the wings.” They were judged by these birds — the warm season came finally or there will be frosts. By the way, in Rus’, cranes were considered defenders from evil and prayed for them for protection.
The church now honors the memory of Joseph of the chanter who lived in the 9th century. By order of the emperors of Byzantium, fighting Christianity, Joseph has repeatedly been to prison during his life. God gave him a poetic talent and he devoted many years to the compilation of liturgical chants.
As for the weather, then:
- The sunrise is golden-pink? In the near future the weather will be very good.
- The birch bark before alder — the summer will be dry, and vice versa.
- Olha is all strewn with earrings — to the rich crop of oats. If there are a lot of cones on it, then barley will be disgraced.
- The rain went on April 17 — spring will be inclement, with a large amount of precipitation.
- The wind blows from the north side — to the rains. If the wind blows from the south, then wait for a good crop of spring.
- A lot of birch juice — there will be a lot of rains in the summer.
