Folk calendar
Job Goroshnik
Job, whose memory is celebrated on this day, is a Christian saint, considered the greatest righteous man, an example of faith and patience.
Although they began to sow peas in Yegor, it was Job who was nicknamed the Pea Man. On this day they said: “Come and work for white peas.” In Rus', peas and beans were available to everyone – even the poor. It’s not for nothing that there was a saying “stay on the beans.” Another proverb associated with legumes indicates that they have been bred for a very long time: “It was in the time of King Pea.”
On this day, the peasants went out into the yard in the morning and observed: if the dew is abundant, then cucumbers will be born. In addition, this dew was considered very beneficial for garden plants.
