Krympress reports:
On July 4, our ancestors began to collect linden flowers. The tree was considered healing and made from flowers various decoctions and drugs, which have giving, bactericidal, antipyretic and other properties. A special linden powder was prepared, which could heal burns and stop bleeding. By the way, girls in Rus’ used linden for cosmetic purposes: the linden infusion makes the skin soft and smooth, and the juice strengthens the hair. They talked about the fact that, who will cut down Lipa, he would surely get lost in the forest. It was a very bad sign if the linden stretching in the garden of the house dried up — it portended illness or even death.
The people of the Ulyanov day, July 4, was interpreted very romantic. They said that in ancient times two lovers lived by the name of Ulyan and Ulyana. Once Ulyan walked through the fields and meadows, called Ulyana, and she sat on the shore, looking at the waters of a stormy river. Ulyana came to her senses only in the evening, ran to the meadow, but Ulyan at that time went to the river along another road. So Ulyan and Ulyana were smashing, but now they still cannot meet.
The church now honors the memory of St. Julian of Tarsiysky, who suffered for faith during the persecution organized by Emperor Maximilian in Antioch. He lived in the 3-4 centuries, was from a noble family in Cilicia (modern Türkiye). Mother secretly instilled in him Christianity, and after the death of her father, the family moved to live in Tars. When Emperor Diocletian issued a decree on the persecution of Christians, Julian was 18 years old. Upon learning of his faith, the guards grabbed the young man and locked them in prison for almost a year. He was inclined to idolatry, but they received a firm refusal, for which, in the end, Julian was drowned in the sea. Later, the relics of Julian were discovered. It turned out that they possessed miraculous power — miracles began to be accomplished above them.
