Krympress reports:
June 10in the people’s calendar-Nikita-Gusynik, Evtihiy. According to the signs, if the day is quiet, then the crop will be good. Date received its names in the national calendar in honor of Nikita of the Confessor and Evtichia, Bishop of Melitinsky, revered by the Orthodox Church on June 10.
There was another name of the day on June 10 — a half. It was customary to read special spirits that are very similar to ordinary women. They were beautiful and stately, flew over the fields on hot summer days and entered into their networks who worked in the field. It was rumored that they could torment hard workers and deprive them of male power. If a person saw such a flying woman on June 10, it was necessary to squint and say: «Lord, save me from the temptation.» It was impossible to angry such spirits, otherwise they would be very angry and will do, according to signs, everything to dry the fields, after which there will be no good harvest.
At this time, they begin to let goos into the water
They often die as dozens, becoming the prey of predatory birds and animals. Therefore, not without reason, our ancestors gave the geese an individual patron saint, who protects the little geese, not letting halves, eagles and other predators to them.
The patron and defender of the geese (domestic and wild) was St. Nikita. There are two nicknames-Gusytnik (hussar)-Nikita Chalkidonsky (June 10) and the great martyr Nikita Gotsky (September 28) in the national calendar. They, as it were, regulate the arrival and departure of wild geese, the time when the goslings are born from the eggs, and the timing of the face of poultry. In essence, the holy Nikita perform almost the same functions, which, of course, served as their unification into one image.
If adults on this day prayed to St. Nikita with a request to look after poultry, then the children played in the Wolf and the Geese (stupids). It was one of the favorite children’s summer fun.
On this day, they were specially sent to the field of pregnant women, because they believed that this is how the child could find a fortress comparable to the young spike. There was also a belief, according to which, if the birth occurs on the bread field, then they will be light, and the child will be born healthy. Also during this period they paid attention to natural phenomena and tried to predict the weather for the coming days and months.

Memory of the Monk Father of our Nikita, Bishop of Chalcedon
Our Rev. Father Nikita, from a young age, loved Christ; Having renounced the world and all worldly attachments, he pleased God with his virtuous life, and was elevated to the throne of the Chalcedon Holy Holy, on which, like a candle standing on the candlestick, glowed the world and decorated the Church of Christ.
St. Nikita was very merciful to the poor; He had greedy, naked dressed, wanderers took his house in his house and rested them; He was the father of orphans, the intercessor of the widows and the Savior for all offended.
When the difficult times of the heresies of the iconoclacks 3502 came, during the reign of Leo Armenian 3503, St. Nikita showed himself to be a courageous confessor of the name of Christ, for he worked a lot in the struggle against an unholy teaching, exposing the unad -Orthodox dogmas, exhorting everyone with reverence to worship the icon of Christ and His misery of the Mother of God, as well as the icons and all the other icons and all the other other saints; The valiant confessor of Christ suffered many torment from the wicked king and his like -minded people; He suffered exile, humiliation, and other troubles for his belief.
After enough time, after many confessional works, St. Nikita moved from the earth to the monastery of heaven3504; God glorified him in heaven before His angels, on earth — before people, for many miracles were created from honest relics, healing all sorts of diseases for the glory of God, glorified in His holy.
