Krympress reports:
July 12-a day that has a lot of names: Petrok, Peter-Pavel, Green Powder, Petra-Ribolov, Petrov Day, Petra and Pavel, Petrovka, Rybolov. The people considered these days a festival of the sun — it plays in the sky and shines with all the colors of the rainbow. Peter was called the patron saint of fields and meadows, and began to suffer. In addition, from the same day, fairs began, which called «Peter’s festivals.» They traded the first crop and products of folk crafts. It was not allowed to work at home and in the field on this day. It was also customary to swim on this day. They believed that water on Peter’s Day cleanses a person of sins.
They also said that from July 12, summer is declining, and autumn is already on the way. The cuckoo ceases to cook, the nightingale is no longer saking, and the first leaves begin to fall from the trees.
The Church now worships the memory of Peter and Paul — two apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ. It is known that Peter was one of the students of the Savior, but initially bore the name Simon. His father was a simple fisherman, and Peter was engaged in similar fishing. It is Jesus, calling Peter to the disciples, calling him Peter, and this name in the translation means “stone”. Peter was called up with his brother Andrei. It was he who witnessed many events that took place in the life of Jesus. He is considered the first Pope and the founder of the Christian Church.
The holiday in the old days was called Petrov’s goal, as on July 12 Petrov post often ended. They prepared a plentiful treat and invited relatives, neighbors, poor, old people to visit. Since Peter was considered the patron of fishing fishing, they prayed for him for a good catch and asked to tell me whether it was worth throwing the nets, whether the storm would be. It is known that this day was also considered a time to pay all duties and debts, and the church received the so -called Petrovsky tribute.

- It is raining with Peter — there will be wet haymaking.
