People's calendar
Ivan is long
On this day, the memory of John the Theologian is performed – one of the twelve apostles. In Rus' on this day, peasants traditionally sowed wheat.
The wealthy owners on this day baked the so -called enemy pies and treated them with poor neighbors, as well as travelers and poor. The old people especially for this went out onto the road and prayed to God so that he would send them a good person with whom a piece of bread can be divided. If a poor man or another wanderer passed on the way at this time, this was considered a good sign and portended a rich crop in the future. Otherwise, if you did not succeed in dividing the aperty cake with anyone, it had to be fed to the birds. It was impossible to eat such baking yourself.
