June 2-Falaley Day (Leonty). Cucumbers need to be sowed secret from the neighbors!

Falaley’s Day was also called — Falaly the Teplore, a cucumber, a day of Alexy, the Drummarker, the Falaly warm … June 2, they counted among the people — the most favorable time for planting cucumbers in open ground. As a rule, the day were exclusively warm and people prayed to the gods, asking them to send abundant rains, then to collect a rich crop. And they sowed cucumbers secret from the neighbors! The first grown vegetable was buried in the garden, bringing to the “victim” to the saints — it was believed that in this case there would be a lot of cucumbers.

The Church now honors the memory of the martyrs Asteria, Alexander and Falaley, whose life is dated 284. These people suffered for faith in Christ — they were subjected to brutal torture and killed them, chopping off their heads. By the way, the youngest Falaley at that time was 18 years old.

In addition, on June 2, the gain of the relics of St. Metropolitan Alexy of Moscow, a famous Russian miracle worker, is noted. The event occurred in 1431.
