CrimeaPRESS reports:
On the day of Vadim Klyuchnik, people revered water and its sources. On April 22, our ancestors went to the rivers and lakes to clean them. They believed that if this is not done, there will be no spring! They said: “Underground water, we are opening the spring paths for you!” Also on this day they washed themselves with spring water and drank it. They believed that today she has a special healing power that can heal any ailment.
In addition, at springs and springs they used to guess about Vadim Klyuchnik — about the death and life of sick people or just loved ones. They prayed in all four directions and wondered: alive or dead? If a person has a long life ahead of him, the water is as clear as glass. If a patient is about to die quickly, the keys will be clogged and seething.
When collecting water from the spring on this day, you need to say: “Tsar of the water, king of the earth, queen of the water, queen of the earth, give me some water for good health.”
