On June 15, in Rus’, girls wove wreaths for good luck — they made them from bindweed. Houses on this day were decorated with birch branches. In principle, the current day was a holiday. The peasants gathered outside the outskirts in noisy groups, after which they walked through the streets in a friendly crowd and sang songs dedicated to the couples who got married this year. In the evening, young people gathered for games. On June 15, a freshly baked loaf was always placed on the table, which was the personification of the sun, wealth, and prosperity.
