People's calendar
Larion Propel
According to the Orthodox calendar on this day, the memory of the Monk Ilarion Dalmatian is noted, who is also accepted to dignify new.
On Larion – as in Rus' they called St. Hilarion – it was customary to go into the field and weed it from weeds. “Larion came – bad grass out of the field,” the peasants said. The people knew: if you can’t cope with weeds in time, they will let you in the world themselves. “The field is weated – we prick your hands, not a blade – do not grind bread,” they sentenced during unpleasant work. However, it was believed that weed grass needed only when a month has been declining. Weed to the full moon is useless, even on Larion – weeds will soon take power again.
