Krympress reports:

Also, this day was popularly called Barnabas, Barnabas-Earth, Barnabas Day. On June 24, our ancestors were sure, you can’t tear the grass — according to the fields, meadows, dales and forests, an unknown force rides at noon and shares the territory among themselves. They decide: to whom in the canopy reins and clamps to confuse, to whom the herbs are poisonous with the heat to be poisonous, and to whom in a well to cry a child and a human gender. Therefore, they did not mow: it was believed that you would bring evil spirits to the house. Also, according to folk beliefs, all therapeutic plants now become poisonous.

And also — this is the time of russal days. You can see these creatures. They have fun, walk through the fields and forests, swing on trees and celebrate weddings. The husbands of the mermaids, by the way, are the cloth or goblin, firing (by themselves to death).

The church now honors the memory of the Apostle Bartholomew and the Apostle Barnabas. The first after the descent of the Holy Spirit, by the lot, preached the Gospel in Syria and Asia Minor, visited India and graduated from his days in Armenia, where he was captured and crucified upside down. The apostle Barnabas, a friend of the Apostle Paul, preached in Antioch, in Rome and in Cyprus. About 62, according to legend, the Gentiles beat the apostle with stones and tried to burn, but his body remained unharmed.

As for the weather will take on June 24, then:

Do the pigeons hide on a sunny day? To the weather.
Swings in clear weather are not visible — to a thunderstorm.
Bees do not fly in the field in the morning, and sit in the hives and buzzes very much — to sediment.
The sunrise is accompanied by stuffiness — to bad weather.
The fog, a mushroom harvesting on the water.
If in the morning it smells stuffy and strongly with honeysuckle — to the weather.
Ducks are actively diving and splashing — to the rain.
In the morning, the sun is pale — in the evening it will flush.
Red rainbow — rain will stop pouring, blue — to rain and wind.
