In Rus', on Ustina (Iustina), they carefully watched the sun rise. If the sky was clear and the rays illuminated the fields unhindered, it was believed that the rye would be thick and ripe. If the morning happened to be rainy, this was also a good omen, since it foreshadowed a good harvest of flax and hemp. But the garden should not have been fenced that day – this could lead to a fire.
The girls had their own rituals for this day. If the beauty wanted to get rid of an unpleasant admirer, then she would tear off a willow branch and stick it between her footprints and his.
