CrimeaPRESS reports:
And April 4 was popularly called the day of Vasily Solnechnik, Vasily Teply, Vasily Parnik. People believed that it was at this time… finally… the long-awaited warmth was coming and good weather was setting in.
The Church today honors the memory of the martyr Basil, a presbyter in Ancyra of Galatia, who lived in the 4th century. He defended Orthodoxy during a period when the Arian heresy was actively spreading. For which he was brutally executed.
On this day, housewives treated their family to an unusual dish — they baked rolls symbolizing the sun. Every meal began with them on April 4th. Follow the tradition and prepare these delicious treats! The recipe is simple:
- You need to take 200 g of butter, one egg, one yolk, two spoons of yeast, nine spoons of milk and two spoons of sugar. Mix everything and replace with flour so that the dough does not stick to the table. Make balls from this dough, sprinkle them with raisins, place them on a baking sheet and let them rise, and then brush them with beaten egg and bake.
As for the weather and signs, then:
- If there are blue clouds in the sky, it means warm rain.
- The snow has melted, and cobwebs have begun to form in this place — the harvest, most likely, will not be rich.
- The snow on the anthill has melted from the north side — for a warm and long summer. If the snow has melted on the south side of the anthill, the summer will be cool.
- If birds build nests near the house, it is a sign that it will soon be even warmer.
- Basil the sunflower is drop by drop large.
- No matter how hot Vasily the dropper is, it’s too early to take off his caftan.
- Vasily the greenhouse soars the earth.
- If circles around the sun turn red at dawn, the year will be fruitful.
Name days are celebrated: Dmitry, Vasily, Daria, Vasilisa, Taisiya, Polina.
AND! Don’t forget to congratulate your fellow webmasters. On April 4 they celebrate their professional triumph. Why today? The explanation is this: the date of the day — 4.04 — in its spelling resembles an error that computer scientists call “Page not found” or 404.
Congratulations are now also being accepted by people who have dedicated their lives to such a task as piano and piano tuning. By the way, the profession of “piano tuner” is considered the kindest profession all over the world!
