Folk calendar
Vasily Parilshchik
In fact, the saint whose memory is celebrated on this day was called Basil of Paria. In the 8th century, he served as a bishop in the city of Paria, was considered a supporter of icon veneration and fell victim to the iconoclastic persecutions that took place at that time in the Byzantine Empire.
However, the Russian people, as often happens, changed the nickname of the saint and began to call him the Steamer. An explanation was quickly found. “On Vasily, spring floats the earth,” the peasants noted. If the saying was true, and the sun really warmed the soil well, one could count on a good harvest.
The hunters were sure that on this day the bear, coming out of the den, was hiding in the bushes. Therefore, it was necessary to walk through the forest with great caution.
