Folk calendar
Nine Healers
On this day, the church honors the memory of the Nine Martyrs of Cyzicus, who preached Christianity in the city of Cyzicus in Asia Minor in the 3rd century.
According to popular beliefs, the Nine Martyrs help with bodily illnesses and epidemics. Therefore, their day itself is considered the day of healers.
At this time, it was necessary to pronounce a special conspiracy against nine misfortunes. After this, health should have increased for a whole year.
The Nine Martyrs were also popularly considered interpreters of dreams.
On the Nine Martyrs, the suffering was at its height, but the peasants thought not only about work, but also about maintaining mental health. Therefore, they tried to especially carefully observe the customs of the clan, starting plowing and sowing only with prayers and with the advice of the elders.
