Town and church holidays
On August 22, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of the Apostle Matthias, who was chosen in this place to replace the traitor Christ Judas.
On this national holiday, snakes are feared in Kievan Rus. It is believed that at the end of summer, due to the appearance of offspring and a drop in temperature, snakes hunt more often and become more aggressive. Therefore, the date is called the Snake Festival.
Traditions and rituals
There is a belief that during this folk festival, snakes can crawl close to cows and suck their milk during milking. Therefore, our ancestors on this date did not drive the cattle out to graze and did not leave them unattended. And the cows were milked only inside the house and so that no one could see it. Also, no one was told how much milk they were able to milk.
