St. George's Day: celebration traditions

St. George's Day is a holiday of shepherds. In the field they were fed with worldly scrambled eggs and given gifts. Among the southern Slavs, the Yuryev day, together with the year, was divided into two half-years: “Yuryevskoye” and “Dmitrovskoye”.

U Eastern Slavs Yegoryev Day is the main cattle breeding holiday of the year. At this time, cattle were driven out to pasture for the first time. Among the southern Slavs and in the Carpathians, on this date, ritual milking of sheep was carried out, and the first milk measurement was taken. The sheep intended for the first milking was decorated with a wreath of flowers and herbs. A separate wreath was hung on the cauldron in which she was milked.

On St. George's Day, many magical rituals were performed to protect livestock from wolves, the evil eye, evil spirits, insect bites, and also aimed at the fertility and well-being of animals during the summer grazing period.

In Belarus, Ukraine and Bulgaria, peasants went out into the fields to inspect their crops. Sometimes clergy were invited to conduct prayer services and consecrate the land. In the morning, the owners walked around the plots of land they owned and had a meal in the field. The remains of food after the meal were buried in the ground. To increase the yield of crops and protect them from drought and hail, the owners tumbled on the ground. To protect the land from bad weather, branches were stuck into the field, consecrated in the church in Palm Sunday. In order for cows to have more milk, in some areas they were taken to green fields of cereal crops.

It was customary to “call out” to the newlyweds. For this purpose, youth groups went to the houses of those couples who got married less than a year ago, called them by their patronymic names, and performed wedding songs for them. For “calling out”, the young people received food and gifts from the couple.

In Western Russian territories and eastern Belarus, large community bonfires were burned. Among the South Slavs, Yuriev day was considered the beginning of the half-year, which lasted until).

Since St. George's Day, many food bans have been lifted. You could eat young meat, greens, dairy products, young vegetables. The first milk produced was distributed to neighbors to remember the souls of deceased ancestors.

St. George the Victorious (the patron saint of this day) was considered the protector of fields, earthly fruits and livestock. They prayed to him for a good harvest, as well as for the protection of animals from diseases, witches and other misfortunes.

Folk calendar weather, signs and holidays for April.

On Nikon in Slavic villages, saying “Underground water, we open the spring for you,” they go around all the sources. Sprinkling bread crumbs, grains, flax and sunflower seeds invites birds to gardens and courtyards. They bring shine to the entire house and yard. On Nikon's day, Spring sent a finch - a messenger.

Apple trees, rowan berries, black and red currants began to be planted in the garden. Cleaned the trunks fruit trees.

In churches, seeds were blessed for planting.

Peasants in the southern regions noticed that if the bird cherry tree had turned green by the day of Gabriel the Blagovest, then the ideal time had come to plant early potatoes.

It was accepted that all supplies of vegetables, and especially turnips - the main food product of the Slavic peasants, were divided into two parts. Selected fruits were left for planting, the rest for food.

On this day we listened to the birches. Birch sap was used to drink birch sap to patients. Birch sap cleansed the blood and drove sickness out of the stomach.

Cabbage and tomato seedlings were planted on Arina. We looked at the cucumbers in the nursery.

On this day, seedlings are planted on special prepared plantings, or log houses, and the trunks of garden trees begin to be whitened.

You cannot plant cucumbers, beans, poppy seeds, pumpkins if the moon is shining, otherwise there will be a barren flower.

It is best to plant any vegetables on Monday a week after Easter.

The housewife should not brag to anyone about her vegetable seeds. Otherwise, other plants will grow instead of the planted one.

For the same reason, when planting vegetable seeds, there is no need to transfer them from hand to hand.

It was forbidden to lend potato and other seeds vegetable crops on the day of their landing.

You cannot plant in a “crooked” environment in the sixth week after Easter, otherwise crooked, small and wormy crops will grow.

Potato

Potatoes were planted on Saturday and during the full moon, choosing a day when there were clouds in the sky and the sun was shining brightly - there would be a bountiful harvest.

If big-headed clouds float across the sky, the potatoes will grow large.

Belarusians did not plant potatoes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the fourth week after Easter, to avoid being eaten by worms.

The peasants believed: if you plant, water, dig or sort through potatoes, you cannot eat anything, otherwise mice will eat the vegetables.

The peasants believed that potatoes would be eaten by worms if they were planted between Orthodox/May 6/ and Catholic/April 23/ Yuri.

Cabbage

IN Maundy Thursday They plant seedlings so that midges don’t eat them.

The best day to plant cabbage is Saturday.

You can’t do this on Monday - it will rot, on Thursday - it will be eaten by worms, you can’t plant it on an even week after Easter.

Belarusians believed that to prevent worms from eating cabbage, it was necessary to drive a peg into the beds during planting, and to prevent the mole from digging in, to place a stone on one of the beds.

To prevent the seedlings from being afraid of frost, they placed a bottle of blessed water in the nursery.

On Maundy Thursday or the pre-Easter Saturday, onions are sorted for planting.

When planting onions, you should not eat so that the onions are not bitter.

But if the housewife wants the onion to be bitter, then she plants it on fasting days: Wednesday and Friday, and if not, she plants it on any other days.

When the housewife gets angry while planting onions, they will also grow bitter.

A Belarusian peasant woman, having finished planting onions, wiped her feet and hands on the grass so that the onions would be good and green for a long time.

Carrot

May 1, May 21. Carrots must be planted before the bird cherry blossoms, otherwise the growth of vegetables will go into the trunk.

It is recommended to plant carrots and onions together in this way: 1 or 2 rows of onions and 1 or 2 rows of carrots.

This is done because onions repel carrot fly, and carrots repel the onion fly - as a result, onions and carrots help each other and healthy vegetables grow.

cucumbers

You can’t plant on fast days, otherwise they won’t yield the desired harvest.

It is better to plant early in the morning on a day when the sky is covered with cumulus clouds: it is believed that then the vegetables will lie in heaps.

Cucumber seeds planted on Wednesday and Friday usually produce bitter-tasting fruit.

If there is no sun on the day of planting, they will either disappear completely or be hollow.

To avoid barren flowers on cucumbers, they should be planted in the evening.

Tomatoes

They are afraid of frost, so their seedlings are planted in the ground at the end of May, and their seeds for seedlings are planted in the ground in early March, and if the seedlings have grown too large, they can be planted under film in the ground at the end of April or at the beginning of May.

Turnip

Turnips should be planted a week before Peter the Great (June 29), and in order for them to be large and sweet, you don’t need to look to the sides and up when planting them.

Beet

I asked experienced summer residents about the timing of sowing some vegetables. And this is what they answered me.

They plant cucumber seeds in the middle or at the end of May, and if under film, earlier. And some plant them after harvesting the garlic in its place in early June.

A few words about the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for each day of the year.

About the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for every day of the year

Daily moon calendar sowing and planting contains a list of tasks for every day in the garden, flower garden and vegetable garden. The lunar calendar was compiled for those who are passionate about gardening, floriculture, and vegetable gardening. In the calendar, the days for sowing and planting various crops are recommended based on the lunar phases and the Moon’s passage through the zodiac constellation, as well as agricultural dates.

The lunar calendar gives recommendations on what seeds are favorable to sow, what plants to plant, how best to care for plants under the influence of the Moon. Fertile zodiac signs Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio favor sowing, planting, a bountiful harvest. During the days of low-fertility signs Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, you can sow and plant certain types of plants, mainly decorative ones. Under a favorable zodiac sign, root crops are planted and sown on the waning Moon, and other vegetable crops, berries, fruits, and ornamental plants are planted and sown on the waxing Moon. During the full moon and new moon, the lunar calendar does not recommend sowing and planting; on these days they fight against plant diseases and pests.

Also in the lunar calendar for each day the necessary daily work in the garden and vegetable garden, the results of which are not influenced by the Moon, these works are determined by the agricultural conditions of the given area and the weather. In the lunar sowing calendar, for these works we recommend days free from sowing and planting work.

The lunar calendar shows the dates for sowing and planting many plants. These are fruit and ornamental trees, berries and ornamental shrubs, annual and perennial floral and berry crops. Our lunar calendar tells us about the favorable times for sowing and planting almost all vegetable crops grown in Middle lane, With in different ways cultivation: planting, forcing, sowing, through seedlings, including in a greenhouse, on a windowsill and in open ground.

The lunar sowing and planting calendar for each day contains astronomical information indicating the exact time of the Moon's entry into each zodiac sign, the hours of the full moon and new moon are indicated, the time of moonrise and sunset, the time of sunrise and sunset and the length of daylight are given. If the Moon enters a certain zodiac sign during the day, then in the lunar calendar, in the sowing and planting recommendations column, a note is given before the specified hour to sow, plant and care for plants according to the recommendations of the previous day of the lunar calendar.

In addition, the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for each day is given folk signs according to the Moon and signs for the harvest from the folk agricultural calendar.

Astronomical information about the Sun in our calendar

If you observe the position of the Sun for a long enough time, for example, throughout the year, you will notice that its height above the horizon on different days will be different - the highest on June 21-22, and the lowest on December 21-22. IN different years these events fall on different days. These days are called summer days and winter solstice. Twice a year, on March 20-21 and September 22-23, the Sun rises exactly at the east point and sets exactly at the west point. On these days it is below and above the horizon for the same amount of time (that is, day is equal to night), and therefore they are called the days of the spring and autumn equinox. Between March 21 and September 22, the Sun rises north of the east point and, conversely, between September 23 and March 21 south of it.

Traditionally, March 21, June 22, September 23 and December 22 are considered the beginning of the seasons in the northern hemisphere of the Earth: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

We publish information on which days the listed astronomical events fall this year in the daily lunar calendar, which is given above.

How to grow plants in the rhythm of the lunar phases

The topic itself is interesting about the influence on the growth and development of plants of the position of the planets in the zodiac circle, in particular the closest companion of our planet - the Moon, about the interaction of the phases of the Moon and the growth, development of plants, the activity of microbiological processes in the soil.

The influence of the Moon on earthly affairs has been known since ancient times. It is with this planet that the tidal phenomena of oceanic and sea ​​waters, as well as fluctuations in electromagnetic fields that affect the weather. It is believed that on a full moon, the above-ground parts of plants are filled with juice to a greater extent, and on a new moon, it seems to tend to flow back to the roots. In the first case, there is a stronger hydration of the tissues, in the second - some dryness. From here comes research into the influence of the moon on plants, and based on the knowledge gained, a lunar calendar is compiled for each day of the current year.

Plants are influenced not only by the phases of the moon, but also by its position in the zodiac signs. It is better to plant when our companion is in the constellations of Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces. Fight weeds when she is in the signs of Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius, Aquarius. The presence of the Moon in the constellation Aries is conducive to collecting fruits - they are better stored. Moving to the constellation Libra is favorable for watering and grafting, to the constellation Leo - for mowing and weeding, Sagittarius - for digging up root crops, Aquarius - for exterminating pests.

If you believe the experience of astrological observations, then the zodiac signs are divided into productive (fertile): Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces, and unproductive (infertile): Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, Aquarius. Planting and sowing of fruit and ornamental plants according to the lunar calendar is best done when the Moon is in a productive zodiac sign.

How the lunar calendar of sowing and planting is compiled for each day

From a practical perspective, the recommendations of the lunar calendar will be valid if they correspond to the local calendar dates for sowing and planting crops. Due to dissimilarity climatic conditions, landscape, soil in different areas, it is impossible to develop a single lunar calendar. If we calculate the timing of sowing crops in another specific area, we will get significant differences. In one case it will be late, in the other it will be too early (compare the south of Russia and the Urals). Agricultural work, as well as care and cleaning work, are also related to the length of daylight hours.

The local folk calendar, traditional experience, and accumulated knowledge are the main support in the practical activities of a gardener, florist and gardener. For neighboring regions, any lunar calendar needs amendments regarding the deadlines for sowing and planting, taking into account the conditions of a particular area. Data on the exact time of the Moon’s entry into the zodiacal constellation can be obtained from a chisel (tear-off calendar) for gardeners or an astrological calendar.

The weather also does not vary from year to year - there are early and late springs, which is also taken into account when compiling the lunar calendar.

The timing of the moon phases does not coincide from year to year. In almost a month, the Moon passes through 12 constellations, called the signs of the Zodiac. The following year, the lunar calendar shifts by 10 days. The timing of the moon phases repeats itself every 19 years. Every year, amendments are made to the daily sowing and planting calendar for the specific shape of the season and for the lunar phase.
