The church today honors the memory of St. Lucian. He lived in the III century on the territory of Antioch. In his mature years he was a pagan. However, in his old age he believed in Christ and was baptized himself. During his lifetime, Lucian preached a lot and even converted to the faith of his listeners. On the denunciation of the Jews, he was seized and thrown into prison. There he met with four youths named Paul, Dionysius, Hypatius and Claudius. They also converted to Christianity, and it was with them that Lucian was thrown into the furnace. However, tradition says that the Lord saved their lives. Then the martyrs were sent to Byzantium, and there St. Lucian was crucified on the cross, and the youths were beheaded.
And a few more will take on June 16:
- If the whirlwind slowly rises to the sky from the earth, and then rotates for a long time — to clear weather in the coming days.
- Thunderstorm on Lukyan — to bad haymaking.
- Heavy rain — to a good harvest of mushrooms.
