July 9 — Day of David of Thessalonica (Strawberry). If it's a sunny day…
CrimeaPRESS reports:
“Strawberry” this day was popularly called by the people for one simple reason — strawberries ripened and everyone went to the forests to collect them. By the way, not only berries were sent to the baskets, but also the leaves of the plant. Various medicines were made from them. Including for adding to tea — such a drink, as those in the know assure, gives strength, and restores immunity, and improves overall well-being.
The church venerates the memory of Saint David of Thessalonica. He is known for having lived in a hut in Thessaloniki for 70 years. All this time he was constantly praying and fasting. As a reward, he received from God the gift of miracles and was able to heal many people from diseases. They also often came to David in order to get advice about a particular situation — he never refused this to anyone.
