CrimeaPRESS reports:
On April 25, they believed in Rus’, bears come out of their dens. They said: “Don’t go into the forest on this day, there the old cosmach woke up, unrolls the turf, from hunger, gets to the larvae and slugs, gets fed.”
It is also on this day that the goblin wakes up. His main job is to awaken trees from winter hibernation.
Why Vasily Parilshchik? The church now honors the memory of Saint Basil of Paria, the bishop of the city of Paria, who lived in the 8th century and zealously defended the Christian faith. The people changed the name of the day, “tailoring” it to a natural phenomenon. They noted that “the earth floats on Vasily.” It was believed that on April 25, the sun’s rays begin to warm the soil in a special way, making it “alive” and suitable for planting.
There are other signs for the current day:
- It’s raining? And in the first days of May it will be rainy.
- Warm day — the harvest will be good this year.
- The willow has bloomed — a sign of rapid warming.
- A sunny day and a cold morning mean a dry and barren summer.
- The willow has fluffed up — winter is over.
