That’s all. The people believed that on August 14 — it was time to meet autumn, and therefore arranged wires of summer. And also celebrated one of the main church holidays called Honey Spas. We watched the bees gradually fill the honeycombs with honey. By the way, according to signs, it is supposed to eat, starting from today. They said: «Even a beggar honey is trying to save a honey.»
And even on August 14, the tradition was widespread to consecrate wells. The peasants gathered a poppy. By the way, it is known that wild poppy was previously used as protection from witches that could destroy the cattle.
AND! On this day, a two -week Assumption post begins. It does not differ in particular severity, as it coincides with the harvest. The main prohibitions are imposed on entertainment. Subjects should not indulge in fun, idle talk, idle pastime. It is allowed to create prayer, alms and good deeds, read spiritual literature, work hard, and at leisure — to reflect on God, their own actions, repent in past sins.
