Folk calendar
Eremey the Unharnesser
On this day, Saint Hermas, the apostle from seventy, was honored.
On May 14, when sowing began, the people celebrated the day of Eremey Zapashnik, and on June 13, when sowing ended, the day of Eremey Zapashnik began. So they said: “Eremey begins sowing, Eremey finishes”; “Unharness – sow the edge, unharness the horse.”
It was customary to listen to the cuckoo: if it cuckoos often and loudly, the weather will be good. However, by the time the cuckoo crowed, all the seeds had to be sown, otherwise they had to wait for a bad year.
They also paid attention to the weather: rain that day foreshadowed a poor harvest.
