People on church holidays
Today is the Day of Remembrance of St. Bessarion, the miracle worker of Egypt. He is of Egyptian descent. Even in his youth, he was baptized and lived an austere lifestyle, trying to keep calm and spiritually pure. Wanting to get to know the monastic life more closely, he traveled to the holy places, was in Jerusalem, visited the Monk Gerasim in the Jordan desert, and also saw other hermits. The saint spent most of his life outside in prayerful solitude. The Monk Bessarion of Egypt passed away peacefully to the Lord in a ripe old age.
On June 19, Ilarion Propolnik is celebrated by the people. The weeder was called the sun because it was here that people began to clear the land of weeds.
Signs
-
The wind blows from the east – the summer will be rainy.
-
The grass only needs to be cut when the moon is setting. Weeding on a full moon is no use, even on Illarion – the weeds will soon gain strength again. Therefore, the sowing of grass was postponed for another season, until the moonlight began to wane.
