People's calendar
Kirillin day
The Orthodox Church honors the Monk Cyril of the Belozersky, who lived in the 14-15 centuries.
On the day of St. Cyril, as they thought in Rus', the summer entered its heyday: the longest day of the year came. “In June, the day does not fade”; “Cyril has power from the earth,” the people said. On this day it was possible to plant late seedlings.
Started to ripen strawberries. “Egor is sitting in a red Ermolka, whoever passes – every bow gives up,” Russian people have known this popular riddle since childhood. There was a legend about the origin of the berry: in ancient times, strawberries did not bear fruit, and when Jesus Christ, while still a child, walked through the forest, she was very saddened that he could not please him. The future savior heard the words of the plant, leaned toward him and kissed him. In the place of the kiss, a sweet berry with a wonderful aroma immediately grew.
A mosquito tribe began to decline from Cyril. The people said: “You will kill the mosquito when the day arrives – the full sieve Komarov will be born. You will kill him when the day starts to decrease – the full sieve Komarov is killed.”
