On April 23, the people were also called the Sunses Day. Our ancestors on this day tried to determine how fertile the year would be. We carefully looked east, if the sun was surrounded by a haze, then one could hope for a good harvest. They said: “If the Sun in a foggy haze will be a good harvest of bread this year, and if it will roll out from behind the mountains, as it will fall on the ground on the ground, then you will have to plow the earth, to sow dummy.”
On April 23, the church honors the memory of thirty -three martyrs who were tortured for their faith in the middle of the 3rd century, among whom were Pompi, African, as well as Terenty, in honor of which this day is marked in the calendar.

- Young spiders appeared — to quick warm days. If the old spiders on April 23 are sitting high on the web, then frosts are possible at night.

And the Slavs in antiquity on April 23 asked God Yaril to protect their cattle from any predatory beast. Exploring the cattle into the yard, turning to the god Yarilo, they sentenced: “You save the cattle, our orphan, the whole belly, in the field, in the field, in the field, in the forest, and behind the forest, in the forest behind the mountains, behind the wide valleys, give the cattle grass and water, and the evil bear is a stump and a deck!” Early in the morning after a long and cold winter, they went around the courtyards in front of the solemn pasture of cattle on the pasture — on Yarilina Rosa.
Before the pasture, cattle, it was stroked on the ridge with a boiled egg, painted in yellow-green or red, which was then given to the shepherd. The cattle on the pasture was kicked out by the vertical branch, they fed it with special bread — “whims”.
