Folk calendar
Pudov day
On this day, the Orthodox Church commemorates the memory of the seventy apostles Aristarchus, Pud and Trophimus.
In Rus', on this day, beekeepers inspected apiaries and apiaries, checking whether the bees were healthy and whether they had survived the winter well. If spring was early and the first flowers appeared by the end of April, the hives were taken out and exposed to fresh air. “On St. Pud’s Day, take the bees out from under the bushel,” said knowledgeable people. And everyone else agreed: “Whoever has honey and butter has a holiday.”
Viburnum and mountain ash usually bloomed at Puda. In ancient times, healing infusions were prepared from them. It was also said that rowan had the ability to cure toothache. To do this, you had to go up to a tree and gnaw it, saying: “Rowan, rowan, heal my teeth, but if you don’t cure it, I’ll gnaw you all off.” There was another version of the conspiracy: “Rowan, rowan, take my dental disease, from now on I won’t eat you forever.”
However, after this it was no longer possible to eat the berries from the tree, otherwise the pain could return.
