People's calendar
Methodius re -ladder
In Rus', on this day, bread was sleeping in the fields, and quail flipped on them. Therefore, the hunters began a period of easy hunting: getting a bird at this time is easier. Each of them tried to shoot at least one quail at Methodius, so as not to return home empty -handed.
Experienced hunters knew different signs: if a web is worn over winter bread and a midges flies-it means that a bird hid somewhere nearby; But where a quail whistle is most heard, success can be expected.
To see a white quail – to great happiness, and if you catch it, you will keep your luck by the tail all your life. But another bird could bring bad news. It was believed that if an owl sits on the roof of the hut during the day on Methodius, then soon a fire will happen in this house.
There were other signs – for the weather. If rain charged to Methodius, he should go another 40 days. The toad, crawling into the grass, and the swans, who had cried out in the evening, spoke about the approaching rain. But if the spider actively weaves the web, the weather will be dry and clear.
