People's calendar
Moky wet
The church on this day celebrates the memory of the holy martyr of Mokia. The people called him wet-firstly, by consonance with the name, and secondly, because it often rains on his holiday.
On the eve of Mokia, when the name of the mother of the raw land was celebrated, it was not customary to take up earthwork, but for another reason. This day was considered a holiday of propitiation of King Grad.
They said that if you work in the field in Mokia, the hail will knock out all the crops. There was another sign: if during the city throw the pomelo into the window, then it will immediately stop. But if it was raining with Mokia wet, people tried to get wet under it so that their hair gained beauty and strength.
Mokia was called the weather by the weather for the whole summer. If this day is rainy or foggy, then the summer will be raw. So they said: “Wet to Mokey – wait for the summer even wet.” If the sunrise is crimson, then the summer will be formidable, with fires.
