People's calendar
Feodosya Kolosyatnitsa
On this day, the Orthodox Church celebrates the memory of the Monk Virgin Feodosia of Constantinople. On Feodos (Feodosia), rye begins to sprinkle, and the first boobs, who were called the spikeskns, go.
People adhered to various beliefs on this day. For example, when rye bloomed, it was impossible to whiten canvases. Children were forbidden to ride on boards – the simplest form of swings. They said that the earth at this time is “heavy”, and if you jump on it, it would harm it.
From Theodos, they began to feed the cattle with baked pieces and bread lambs – so that it was more to breed, and the offspring was strong and healthy.
