CrimeaPRESS reports:
Why the Harvester? Because on July 21 they started harvesting rye. Our ancestors believed that the paint “worm” appeared on Procopius on the ground. It appears miraculously and catches the eye of travelers in the form of a red ball. If someone finds a worm, he will be unusually happy and rich all his life. But this paint of vegetable origin is very rare, and only a few managed to find it.
And on this day they began to pick blueberries. Even then they knew that this berry has many literally miraculous properties: it can help with visual impairment, rheumatism, digestive diseases, gout, etc.
The main church event on July 21 — believers celebrate the feast of the icon of the Kazan Mother of God, the appearance of which took place in 1579. Many divine miracles are associated with the icon. The fighters going under the bullets, for example, hid her image on their chests, and the Mother of God on the icon averted death from the soldiers.
On the same day, Christians commemorate the deeds of Procopius the great martyr, canonized for his torment and death in suffering. Procopius was persecuted for his holy faith in Christ, tortured, but he did not renounce Jesus. Before the baptism, Procopius was called Isaac, but Christ himself gave him the name by which the saint is known today.
Signs for July 21:
- What is the weather on this day — the same will be on August 2, on the day of Elijah the Prophet.
- If a peasant rakes hay that day, a thunderstorm can burn him.
- Whoever swims on Prokopyev’s day, he worries the merman. And he can take revenge by dragging the unfortunate bather under the water!
- If on the Kazan new moon, then on this day they judged the weather for August. What is the weather like in the morning — this will be its first half, in the afternoon — the second.
Birthdays are celebrated today: Alexander, Anastasy, Daniel, Dmitry, Lawrence, Savva, Tatyana, Justus.
