Folk signs for June 7
According to the national calendar, the seventh of June has two patrons – Ivan and Ferapont. Patrons, in turn, also have many different names, which were given to them by ancient people. On this day, Ivan was called "big-headed", a goose coop, a bird envious. Ferapont's patron saint was nicknamed "thin dew" on this day. This name did not arise by chance: according to an ancient tradition, if honeydew falls on the grass on the morning of the seventh of June, then farmers should expect pestilence on their cattle.
In the Orthodox calendar, the seventh of June is the day when the holy Martyr Ferapontos of Cyprus is venerated. Also, on June seventh, Orthodox people celebrate a church holiday – the finding of the head of John the Baptist.
Traditions and omens for the seventh of June.
Midsummer's Day brought the housewives quite a lot of worries and troubles. Since honeydew falls on Midsummer Day, before sunrise, the peasants went out into the vegetable gardens to hide the beds from them. People noticed that the grass seemed to rust from the honeydew. Honeydew or honeydew has been considered harmful to plants since ancient times, so people tried to hide their garden plantings from them.
If there were small children in the house, then on this day adults especially watched them, not allowing them to run barefoot in the dew. In Russia, there was a belief that if a person stepped on honeydew, he would certainly catch a serious illness. Also, on Midsummer Day, livestock were driven to pastures later than usual - only after the honeydew had cleared from the grass. After all, honeydew was dangerous not only for humans, but also for animals.
People believed that the copper dew was nothing more than the tricks of the devil. Some people were convinced that this was how the Lord unleashed his anger on people. In order to ward off adversity and disease, on this day people prayed fervently to John the Baptist, asking him for protection from evil spirits and various diseases that could bring honeydew.
Starting from the seventh of June, late spring crops were sown. During this period, healers began to walk through the forests in search of various medicinal herbs and roots. On Midsummer Day, housewives began planting cabbage seedlings in their gardens. At the same time, the seedlings had to be placed in the ground at first light, and so that the planting process would not be seen by strangers. After all the seedlings were planted, each housewife took up the first grown stem and asked the Almighty for a good harvest. Ne manquez pas l'opportunité de doubler votre capital initial grâce au
