Krympress reports:
May 4 — The people believed that in the spring not only nature awakens, but also various unclean power. In the fall, with the advent of cold weather, all evil spirits are hidden in holes and dens, and in the spring, gaining strength, again returns to its possessions. In order to appease forest spirits, it was customary to go to the forest in the beginning of spring and leave a basket with refreshments in a clearing. On Proclov, in Rus’, people tried to resist the evil spirits and sent curses to her, intending to drive back into the forest burrows. In the old days, people also believed that on the night of May 4, witches turn grass into poison, so they tried to expel evil spirits and fields so that cattle would not suffer.
They turned for help and to the house, asking him to protect him from the machinations of evil spirits, households, household buildings and cattle. Brownie Awakening Day — April 1. The night before, near the stove, various treats were left homework. To help the brownie and completely expel the evil spirits, with the advent of spring, a general cleaning was carried out in the house, the windows were washed to let more sunlight into the dwelling.
In the old days, on May 4, they called differently: Fedor-Lalnik, Fedor, Prokul, Lynik. They tried not to work on this day, but to pay attention to precisely a variety of rites, since it was believed that witches could harm cattle and destroy it. But it was precisely on pets that a person’s life in the old days depended on pets.
On the day of Procla, the tradition was widespread to drive round dances around the apple tree, and young girls did it. They said that they cherished (Lyalili — Star.) Good weather. Therefore, on May 4, they called Lyalnik.

Memorial Day of the Holy Martyr Iannuarius (Yanuarius) and deacons of Sosia and Propli
The holy martyr Iannuarius, the bishop, and with him the holy martyrs of Prokul, Nossiya and Favst Deacons, the Disider Vorotets, Evtichi and Acetion took the martyrdom for Christ around 305, during the persecution of Emperor Diocletian.
Saint Iannuaria grabbed and brought to the court to the ruler of the campaign (Average Italy) Timothy. For the firm confession of the Christian faith, the saint was thrown into a hot furnace. But, like Babylonian youth, he came out from there unharmed. Then, by order of Timofei, he was stretched out on the machine and beaten with iron rods so that the bones were exposed.
Among the gathered crowd were the holy deacon Favst and the holy reader of the Disider, who cried at the sight of the suffering of their bishop. The Gentiles guessed that they were Christians, and threw them into the prison of the city of Rotol, along with the holy martyr Iannuariy. In that prison, there were two deacons, holy nussias and prosecutors, and two lay people — the saints of Euthychius and the acution, previously prisoners for the confession of Christ.
The next morning, all the martyrs were brought into the circus to be torn to pieces by wild animals, but the animals did not touch them. Timothy announced that all miracles come from the witchcraft of Christians, but immediately blinded and began to appeal for help. The meek holy martyr Iannuarius prayed about his healing, and Timothy became pleased. Sincere blindness did not leave the tormentor, and he, with even greater fury, accusing Christians of witchcraft, ordered all the martyrs of the head beyond the walls of the city.
