CrimeaPRESS reports:
On June 13, in Rus’, the sowing work was completed, the horses were unharnessed and released to rest. Therefore, this day was called the Unslinger. They said: «Unharness — sowing land, unharness the horse.»
The Church today honors the memory of St. Hermas — one of the seventy apostles. He was a bishop in Thracian Philippopolis and endured many persecutions from the pagans, preaching the Christian faith. True, he was not recognized as a martyr, because he died a natural death. However, there is another completely opposite version — they say that Yerma died just the same as a result of long torment. How was it really? The information has long since sunk into oblivion.
The people on June 13 considered an ordinary day. They were engaged in the usual things, cleaned up the huts, worked in the gardens, etc. The girls’ gatherings also continued, preparations were made for weddings and the dowry was prepared. Of course, we also watched the weather:
- On the morning of June 13, the fog is standing — by the mushroom summer.
- Is the night warm? To a good harvest of vegetables.
- Is the cuckoo chirping loudly? Good weather will set in soon.
- It rains on June 13, which means that the harvest, according to signs, will not be rich.
- Spiders began to weave a web — to good weather.
- If a cloudy cold day stood out on Yeremey Raspyagalnik, then the winter is likely to be difficult.
- With an abundance of dew in the morning, the inhabitants were waiting for fine days, but its absence meant the approach of rain.
Name days are now celebrated by: Roman, Nikolai, Boris, Christina.
