People's calendar
Procle Poster
The Orthodox Church on this day recalls the holy martyrs Procla and Ilaria, who suffered for faith in the 2nd century.
In Rus', the Surfacing was called a poster, because large dews began to fall out of this day. “The field of dew is wet on the basis,” the peasants said, in a hurry to remove the crop before he would deteriorate from high humidity. It was necessary to hurry with the harvesting of hay, because “Proklova dew – haying.” Before the process, it was necessary to have time to “dry the hay with his backs and put in the coptes.”
At the same time, the dew that fell on the basis was considered healing. They advised to collect dew in the morning, wash and wipe her eyes with her. They said that vision improves from this procedure, the face becomes beautiful, and the mind is calm. The healers considered dew, collected on this day, the best remedy for insomnia. People endowed Proklova dew with mystical properties – they believed that she “washing off” damage and evil eye.
The dew was judged by the weather in the near future. Strong dew and fog in the morning foreshadowed clear days. If there was no dew on the meal either in the meadow or in the lowlands – this was a sure sign of an approaching bad weather.
