People's calendar
Yarilin Day, summer crown
This day in Rus' has long been dedicated to God Yarila.
Interestingly, there is still no consensus about who people considered Yaril. There are, for example, versions that he was the god of the Sun, the god of love and passion, the god of the forces of nature.
“Yarilo is a good fellow, he drives out on a white horse, a wreath on his blunders, a bundle in his left hand is a bundle, in his right – a club. Heilo will wave a mug – the fields are clouded, they will flash bread – thunders thunders, rains pouring, where the silk grass with lazor flowers is creeping up. The people of the deity painted the people.
Yarilin was called special holiday; They said that he was “waiting for a year” that it was “all days”. Supernatural phenomena were waiting for Yarila: the sun slowed down, and special “holes” formed on the ground, through which it was possible to look at the other end of the world, or even at the other world. To do this, it was necessary at noon to braid strong birch branches into the braid and look through them from the steep bank of the river; It was believed that in this way you can see loved ones that there were no news about for a long time.
On this day, they went to mowing, stuffed mattresses with freshly chopped and dried grass. In the evenings they gathered at the bonfires, had fun, drove round dances, made fragrant teas on herbs. They also arranged the “Yarilins of the game”, fairs, visits to relatives. The holidays were accompanied by fist battles, songs, dancing and rampant fun.
