Town and church holidays
On this day, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of St. Zechariah. He contributed to the moral development of the Jews. Zechariah died a violent death – he was killed by the Jews for a blasphemous sermon.
The saints called Zechariah the Sickle-Seer, because in one of his prophetic revelations he saw a scroll flying in the air and resembling a large sickle in shape.
Traditions and rituals
Our ancestors paid a lot of attention to the sickle. The harvest women prayed to Zechariah for a good harvest. On the day of his memory, the sickles are taken out of the cupboards, examined, cleaned, sharpened and sprinkled with Epiphany water. In this regard, they said: “Not so to sharpen sickles when going to the stubble”, “You will not cut a crooked sickle in time, you will not press a sheaf in the field.”
It is believed that Zachariah the Sickle-Seer will see the efforts of the people and help them – he breathes in the sickles of a disputed power.
