CrimeaPRESS reports:
The main danger of June 30, people believed: on these days it is difficult to protect yourself from evil forces — a person is now very vulnerable. On Manuil the sun stagnates, hazy fogs appear, rivers of milk flow. They said that evil spirits were coming to the huts, trying to make a person laugh, to drag him away. Manlizhets, deceiver, maniha — the one who beckons, calls, this is the name of various unclean spirits that can manifest themselves in the guise of a ghostly vision (including a dead man) and beckon, blaspheme, that is, fool, deceive. Alluring creatures walk invisibly around the house, knock and make noise, scatter dishes, throw things, turn off the light, moan, lament, take on unexpected and frightening images, they survive from the house and destroy people. Most often, unclean spirits living in the house, outbuildings and correlated with brownies, kikimora, and the dead were called manas. They are something to be feared today.
In addition, on the evening of June 30, our ancestors believed, it was impossible to go to the lake. It was believed that Maniha or Manya was sitting by the reservoir, which, with the beauty of water lilies, lured the beauties closer and dragged them to the bottom. They also believed that Manya and her daughter walk around the yards at night and lure people into the forests in order to give them to the goblin. It was customary on this day to make fires on the banks of lakes and rivers to scare away evil spirits.
The Church now honors the memory of three brothers named Ismail, Manuel and Savel, who came from a family of a very noble pagan, but at the same time their mother was an adherent of Christianity and raised her sons according to the Law of God. In adulthood, the brothers were called to the emperor Julian in order to negotiate. However, as soon as the envoys learned that they were to take part in a pagan holiday, they refused to do so, which caused the anger of those around them. Julian ordered the brothers to immediately renounce Christ, but they did not agree to this. Then they were subjected to a lot of torture, and then beheaded. Soon after their death, the veneration of the three brothers began.
Notes of the day:
- Thunderstorm June 30? To a good harvest.
- If the water lilies did not rise from the water that day by 9 o’clock in the morning — to cold snap and bad weather.
- Did a rainbow appear in the sky in the evening? The weather will be good.
- Crimson sunset — soon the wind will rise and it will rain.
