People's calendar
Proclov's day
On this day, the memory of the holy martyr Janoaria (Iannuaria) and with him the martyrs Proche (Prokula), Sossia, Favsta and others are celebrated.
Among all the saints revered on this day, the Russian people chose the name of Prochet for the name of the holiday-firstly, as the most common in a peasant environment, and secondly, as a consonant with the word “curse”. The fact is that on this day it was customary to curse evil spirits. The old people went out of the outskirts, stood face to west (this side of the world was considered a symbol of darkness) and pronounced conspiracies. Evil forces retreated.
The time was advancing – the so -called period of games and dances was called. The girls on the prison day drove round dances around the apple tree and sang songs. On a different tree, Cherrykh, they tried the weather. The sooner it bloomed, the more hot summer they waited.
