August 4-Martha Surovitsa. Washed out dew and cook jam
Krympress reports:
On August 4, in Rus’, the girls prayed for giving them heavenly beauty. Holy Mary Magdalene, one of the pear-carrier wives, witnesses to the resurrection of Christ from the dead, addressed their aspirations and hopes. The church today honors her memory.
Also, girls on the fourth day of August prepared grinders and lotions of herbs and berries, read conspiracies and spells.
Today’s dew was considered useful for the skin. At the same time, the peasants considered her a real disaster. They said that it is harmful to crop and livestock. Dews were extremely afraid in those regions where Lenon was grown. She foreshadowed crop failure and promised numerous troubles and misfortunes to the weaves, seamstresses and merchants of flaxseed matter.
Blueberries and currants were kept on Marfu in the forests. These berries were harvested for the winter: they cooked jam from them and dried in the attics.
Signs of the day:
- Work in the field is a bad sign. May hit lightning. But if it is urgent, then it is worth praying to the patron saint of the day, and she will protect against thunder arrows.
- Strong thunderstorm — to a good haymaking.
- Strong peals of thunder — to a degree.
- Nedat appeared — to the crop failure of mushrooms.
- The thunderstorm does not stop all day — to the harvest of fruits in the garden.
- The spiders disappeared — to the rain.
- A lot of slugs — to raw weather.
- Hens walk around the yard during the rain — to heat.
- Fog at dawn — to a clear day.
Name things today note: Korniliy, Mikhail, Alexei, Maria.
