People's calendar
Fedot Guard
The Orthodox Church on this day celebrates the memory of the martyr Theodot Ankirsky. The people believed that on Fedot (Theodot) you can safely swim in rivers and lakes, not afraid of mermaids. They said that on this day the saint was sitting by the water with a sharp sickle and if he saw a mermaid, he immediately cut her hair with a sickle. But it was in the hair of the mermaids that the whole witchcraft power is hidden, so Fedota river virgins were afraid.
On this day, the signs were noticed: “St. Fedot gives heat – rye leads to gold; St. Fedot will lead to the rain – the colossus is stitched.” This meant that if the weather was warm and clear, then the grain will be crushed large; If the day was given rainy, one could not hope for a good harvest.
They were tried according to the signs of future weather: if thunder rattled, they expected a long bad weather, and if he also moved from place to place, it was portending hail and cold.
