Krympress reports:
And this day was popularly called — Fit, Modest, Amos. The main task is June 28 — it was necessary to strictly monitor the cattle so that it would not wander into the fields. Otherwise, it was impossible to save the cow, which overeating the ripening grain, so it inflated it. Even the patron saint of this day, Modest, could not cure a sick cattle.

And who is Vit (Fit)? This is a martyr who lived during early Christianity. Unfortunately, today reliable historical information about his life has not been preserved — there are only church traditions, according to which, Vit was born in Sicily in a family of pagans. His father was a local senator. However, Vit meets a mentor who preached faith in Christ (his name is unknown), after which he accepts Christianity and goes to Rome. It was St. Vit who expelled the demon from the emperor Diocletian. Initially, the latter wanted to force Vita to pray and sacrifice the idols. However, he refused, and as a result, Vita was thrown into the cage, where hungry lions were. God saved Vita from death, and the animals did not touch him. After that, the emperor ordered Vita to boil in boiling oil.
