Town and church holidays

On this day, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of Bishop Nikita. He was born in Kyiv, took the monastic tonsure at a young age and went into seclusion. However, Nikita was tempted and could not resist: the devil forced him to refuse to read the Gospel.

He soon again indulged in evasion and obedience, as a result of which he overcame many in virtue.

People called Nikita the guardian from fire, lightning and extreme heat of the sun. It is believed that at one time this saint could, with his prayers, not only put out the fire, but also prevent drought.

Traditions and rituals

On this day, the ancestors protect the house from the elf. People are especially afraid that the evil spirit will ride the horse on the roof – and the house will shake, and “bad wind will come to the balcony.” Therefore, in Nikita, the peasants especially carefully guarded their homes.

Signs

  • If the firewood in the stove smokes and does not light well – to melting.
  • A strong draft in the hearth foreshadowed frosty day.
  • Red fire promised cold, white fire promised heat.
