June 12 — Yeremey Day, Isaac's Day. Do not kill the snake! The relatives will come to take revenge and that's it …
Krympress reports:
June 12 — Usually, the Eremey finishes sowing work, since this day marks the beginning of summer. Kalina blooms now, as well as bees. Also, the people were named Zmein on June 12, because, according to the observations, “snake weddings” were held, and the snakes themselves were very aggressive. Therefore, people with caution went to the fields and to the forest. It was dangerous to kill the snakes, since the Slavs believed that the snake relatives would certainly take revenge, and no healer could save from the snake venom.
It is believed that Isaacia is almost impossible to recover from the snake’s bite. If it is impossible to cancel the campaign in the forest, then Veronica should be found and put its flowers in his shoes, in addition, it will not be superfluous to take a stick from the ash with you. According to the signs of snakes, they begin to freeze in a daze and as a result do not attack a person.
Pregnant women who have repeatedly observed the fruit, at midnight, go to the river and swim in it, while reading a special conspiracy.
There was even a saying: «Do not go to the grass that day, do not disturb forest thickets, do not torture fate.» In addition, in Rus’, the belief was widespread, according to which the snakes are associated with many plants, and therefore, they can influence each other. Often people brought a piece of marine root in the incense, and it was to him that they attributed the properties to drive snakes. It was believed that if you scatter the twigs of the root on the edges, then the snakes would eat them and they would surely die or lose the opportunity to bite.
Memorial Day of the Monk Isaacus Confessor
Holy Rev. Isaac, the confessor of Dalmatian, lived in the 4th century. After the adoption of monastic tonsure, he performed monastic feats in the desert. During the reign of Emperor Valent (364–378), who was a supporter of the heresies of the Ariance, the persecution of the Orthodox began, temples were closed and destroyed. When the news of the persecution reached the Monk Isaac, the way the saint is narrated in Kondak, “as if the saint of God is faithful, it was enjoyed by jealousy of the Church”, St. Ysaaki left the desert and came to Constantinople for the consolation and spiritual strengthening of the Orthodox.
At that time, the tribes ready began a war against Byzantium and, capturing Thrace, went to Constantinople. When the Byzantine troops left the capital, Rev. Isaaki turned to Emperor Valent with the following words: “Tsar, Orthodox churches, and then the Lord will help you!” Three times he repeated the Rev. his request and prophecy, but the emperor did not pay attention to the words of the monk and self -confidently continued. Moreover, the angry Valent ordered to abandon the Monk Isaac into a deep ravine, overgrown with a prickly thorny; It was impossible to get out of it, since there was a swamp at the bottom of the ravine.
However, the Rev. helped the help of the water. With difficulty, he got out of the ditch, caught up with the emperor and again told him: “You wanted to destroy me, but the holy angels took me out of the abyss. Listen to me, open the temples of the Orthodox and defeat your enemies. If you don’t listen to me, then you will not return alive, but you will die in the fire. ” The emperor was surprised at the courage of the elder and ordered his close associates to Saturnin and Victor to take the Monk and keep in imprisonment until his return. The prophecy of the saint soon came true: in the battle of the Goths they began to win the Greek troops, and the emperor, which had taken off in the barn with straw, along with the military leader Arianin, were burned by the advancing. So the Monk Isaaki «appeared truly a glorious prophet.» Soon after the news of the death of the Emperor, the saint was released and henceforth revered as the prophet of God.
