CrimeaPRESS reports:
People also called Epiphan’s Day Ryabinovka, noting that it was during this period that the mountain ash began to bloom wildly. They always tried to plant this tree near the house — they said that rowan protected a person from misfortune.
And by May 25, white water lilies bloom on ponds and lakes. This flower in Rus’ was called overcoming grass, because it helped fight a large number of diseases. Including toothache and poisoning. Moreover, our ancestors believed that the water lily rid houses and even human souls of evil spirits. They collected plants only at strictly defined times, and always covered their ears. They treated the water lily kindly and talked to it before picking it.
A prerequisite: you cannot cut off a water lily with anything sharp! According to legends, in this case the stem bleeds, because water lilies are mermaids! Forest spirits danced in circles at night and turned into flowers during the day. Thus, if you cut a water lily on May 25, you will kill the water maiden. And her friends will definitely take revenge — they will drag her down to the bottom and destroy her.
The signs for May 25 are as follows:
- The sunrise is colored red — for a dry summer.
- A warm and sunny morning without rain means the summer will be dry.
- There are a lot of May beetles on May 25 — the summer will be dry.
- The water lilies have bloomed — the cold days are behind us.
- Is it a cloudy morning and the sky is overcast? Summer will be rainy and cold.
- Are the clouds blue in the evening? The weather will change.
- The yellow leaves of the acacia open and give nectar — in anticipation of rain.
