July 6-Day of the Agrafenes-Communist Party. Herbs and plants have a special force

Krympress reports:

July 6 is a special day, because this is the eve of the holiday of Ivan Kupala. The ancestors of our Slavs believed that herbs and plants collected today have a special force — the products prepared on their basis would be as effective as possible.

The church today honors the memory of the Holy Martyr Agrippina (Agrafena), who, back in her young years, decided to refuse to marry, and devoted her life to serving the Lord. At that time, the persecution of Christians was widespread, and therefore, soon Agrafena was arrested and subjected to torment, not wanting to abandon Christianity in favor of idolatry. For her faith, the girl received a reward — the Angel freed her from the bonds of the dungeon. However, Agrafena herself still soon died in prison from the wounds received. Three Christians buried her, and noted that miracles began to perform at the tomb of Agrafena. She was nicknamed the swimsuit precisely for the reason that mass bathing in reservoirs begin from this day.

As for the night on Ivan Kupala: it is believed that the fern blooms on July 6, and if you find it, you can find the buried treasure. In the evening of this day, the girls put on their best outfits and go from home to the house with the words: “Wash”, which meant that the girl needed to give some decoration-tape, earrings, etc. The night of Ivan Kupala itself was considered mystical — it was called the time of werewolves, sorcerers and witches.

There will be no weather for today, but there are households:

• “On Agrafena, Soloveiko had lost a voice through a pierces,” is injecting barley.
• «This turnip on Agrafena will be good.»
• The beginning of full summer. Collection of healing herbs and roots. Start cleaning winter wheat.
• The start of bathing in the rivers, since the water at this time has already warmed up enough.
• They wash and soar in baths where the floor is covered with herbs.
• White cabbage from a butterfly butterfly is watered with a tomato top with a white cabbage. Washing with a stream of cold water from the hose of each head of white cabbage acts well. Color is covered with leaves.
• On the Agrafena, buckwheat is small, oats of a thorough.
