Town and church holidays

On this day, the Orthodox Church honors St. Basil the Decapolites, confessor.
In Vasily, it is customary to bring a pine branch into the house: it cleans the air and gives health to the whole family. Medicinal infusions are prepared from pine needles and branches. A vitamin drink is popular: 20 grams of pine needles are boiled in a glass of water and taken by two spoons three times a day. On this day, children suffering from dropsy (this disease is also called sheep shortness of breath) are treated. They did it this way: the mother wrapped the child in a sheepskin coat and placed it near the threshold, while the father at that time drove the sheep into the hut, and then drove them out into the street. Farmers believe that animals carry the disease.

Traditions and rituals

March 13 rejoiced at the arrival of spring and watched the icicles. If they are long, soon it will be warm and the flax will be born. If the ice fell and hurt, they said that he marked the lucky one.

Women on this day, according to tradition, bake kalachi, which resemble icicles in shape. They were treated with all relatives and neighbors. According to popular belief, if you eat kalach in the morning, then the year will be good, you will live abundantly.

So that happiness would not be transferred to the family, they brought the icicles into the house, drowned them, and then sprinkled all the corners with melting water. The remaining water was poured on the front door and not wiped off.

On the day of Vasily Kapelnik, the snow began to melt on the roofs. This time, they said: “Look at Vasiliev’s sun in droppers (icicles) – and the drops will go”; “Vasily will come – and winter will cry.”

Icicles are viewed not only for pleasure, but also for predicting the harvest. So, long drops promised a long line.

Signs

• If it rains – summer must be kind
• The sun in circles – to a good harvest
• Long icicles – for a long spring
• If larks and rooks come, there will be no more cold weather
• Moon horns down – to heat
• The rook has arrived – the snow will fall early, and the summer will be rainy
