Folk calendar
Hosea Kolesnik
According to the church calendar, the day of the prophet Hosea, who lived in the kingdom of Israel in the times before the death of Israel, is coming.
In Rus', Hosea was nicknamed the Wheelman because on the day of his memory they paid a lot of attention to wheels. The carts were placed in barns until spring, and before that they were checked for serviceability. If necessary, simple transport was repaired. In any case, the wheels were removed from the axles. “On Hosiya, the wheel and axle part until spring,” the peasants said, putting away the cart and taking out the sleigh, since by this time the winter route had already been established in many areas. And by the last creaking of the cart wheels they wondered about the harvest. If the wheels move quietly and do not creak, a lot of bread and vegetables will be harvested next year.
On this day, children were asked riddles about wheels and carts. For example, the following are known: “The lady is tinted, belted across, and her back is smeared”; “Four brothers agreed to race, no matter how hard they run, they won’t catch each other”; “One walks, leads four behind him, and the fifth sits, looking with all his eyes.”
Russian people in Hosea remembered sayings about autumn. “The day is quickly melting – you can’t tie it by the fence,” they lamented. And they were sad for the passing summer: “October is crying with cold tears.”
