People's calendar
Peter the Solstarot
On this day, the Monk Peter Athos is honored.
In Rus', Peter was nicknamed the solstice: from its day, the sun shortens its move, the days become shorter, and nights – longer. “The Solstice is performing the turn,” they said among the people and added that the sun is turning for the winter, and summer – in the heat. Indeed, the middle of summer was approaching – the hottest time.
Petrov day was also called a belated cabbage. On this day, gardeners landed the last seedlings and sowed the last seeds. It was customary to sow white grain (for example, wheat or oats) before dinner, and after lunch – black (buckwheat). For buckwheat, the day was generally considered successful. There was even a saying: “Whoever sows the Greek on Peter will be a stove in the winter.”
Another nickname of Peter is the fisherman. On this day they went fishing and prepared fish dishes. The main one was, of course, the ear. Interestingly, until the 19th century, the ear was called any soup – fish, meat, and vegetable. Gradually, this name began to be applied only to the first fish dishes. Each region had its own recipes for cooking soup: for example, tomatoes were added to it in the south, milk in the north. In Rus', white ear (from ruffs, perches and pike perch, which were cooked with onions), black (from chubs, breams, carps and red -barrels – with cinnamon and pepper) and red, the most tasty (of valuable fish – sturgeon, beluga and salmon with saffron) were distinguished.
The weather signs were observed on Peter. If the weather was clear on this day, it was believed that the mowing would be successful, and if it was raining, they waited for bad weather during the haymaking.
