Folk calendar
Nikita Gusyatnik
On this day the Orthodox Church celebrates the memory of St. Nikita of Chalcedon, confessor. The people called the saint the guardian of the geese, or simply the Goosekeeper. According to popular belief, Nikita primarily protects goslings, rather than adult birds, and protects them from eagles, hawks and other predators.
The second name of this day is Midday. This was the name given to special spirits who looked like ordinary earthly women. Stately and beautiful, on hot days they flew in circles over the fields and attracted working peasants.
Pregnant women were specially sent to the field on this day so that the child would gain the same strength as a young ear of corn. There was a belief that giving birth in a grain field meant an easy birth and a healthy child.
They also paid attention to Nikita and the signs of the weather. If the day was quiet, they expected a good harvest in the fall.
