Krympress reports:
The people believed: June 21 is the very day when it is necessary to determine where to dig a well. There were even “technologies” by which they did this: on the eve of several places on the ground, pans were laid in several places, and in the morning they were checked. If one of the pans was covered with abundant moisture, then the place under it was ideal for digging a well mine. They also searched for a place with the help of chicken eggs: they were laid out in the area, and then they were observed which of them was the most wet.
In addition, Fyodorov was called a dung -free day — there was a tradition of fertilizing unilovie fields with manure. This was done to supply the soil with useful trace elements. Typically, manure that was bombed over the year was used, it was taken to the fields and thickly scattered, and the next year the earth was plowed and sowed.
The church now honors the memory of St. Theodore Stratilat, a Christian martyr. He lived in the 3-4 centuries on the territory of modern Turkey, and he was from Euchait. Once he managed to kill a large snake, devouring the inhabitants, after which Theodore was appointed a military leader. Having settled in Heracles, he turned almost all the townspeople to Christianity. When the ruler brought the statues of pagan gods from precious metals to the city, Theodore crushed them and distributed them to the poor. For that he was betrayed by beating and torture, and then chopped down with a sword.
As for the weather. It is worth noting that usually from June 21 a long period of summer thunderstorms began. And also:
- The morning thunderstorm is a bad sign. The hay did not have time to remove, and it got drunk, spoiled.
- A thunderstorm day is a bad hay.
- Rosa June 21 — there will be a good crop of hemp and flax.
