CrimeaPRESS reports:
The people were sure: September 26 was the last warm day of autumn. Frosts were no longer a rare occurrence. Moreover, the first snow could have fallen in the northern regions of Russia on this day.
And our ancestors believed that after September 26, nothing grows, but only dies. Therefore, we tried to harvest the crop as quickly as possible. AND! On this day, dishes made from root vegetables were always on the peasant table. A special place was given to radishes. Cause? This vegetable with a very unique taste has enormous healing power: it protects against colds, strengthens the body, and gives a person strength and good spirits. Radishes were also used to save oneself on fasting days, when a hearty, varied table was strictly prohibited.
The church today honors the memory of Saint Cornelius, who lived in the 1st century on the territory of Rome. The New Testament says that he was known for his righteous life, but was “pious and fearful of God” — this is what people were called who were pagans, worshiped the God of Israel, but were not members of the Jewish community. However, one day an angel appeared to Cornelius and ordered him to find the Apostle Peter. After Cornelius carried out this instruction, Peter baptized him in his home. It was Conilius who is considered the first pagan to accept the Christian faith. After this, Cornelius became a bishop — Peter himself ordained him to this rank, and then became famous for destroying a pagan temple located on the territory of the city of Skepsia, after which many pagans believed in Christ.
