People's calendar
Lukyan windmill
On this day, the Orthodox Church celebrates the day of the memory of St. Lukillian, who lived in Antioch in the 3rd century.
In Rus' on this day, the direction of the wind was noted. According to legend, the southern wind promises the rapid growth of spring bread, northwest-raw weather and illness, oriental-various kinds of infections, and northeastern-continuous rains. If the whirlwind slowly rises from the ground to the sky and rotates for a long time, then the weather in the coming days will be clear.
We looked at other weather signs. If a thunderstorm happened on Lukyan (Lukillian), the peasants were expecting a bad hayfield. At the same time, pouring rain foreshadowed the glorious harvest of mushrooms. So they said: “There would be a rain on Lukyan – there will be fungi.”
The owners who were going to dig a well on this day could find out in which place it is best to do. To do this, it was necessary to put the pan upside down on the ground and leave for a while. After that, they looked: if the frying pan is wet, then the water is close.
