Town and church holidays
On this day, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of the martyrs Florus and Laurus – brothers. The saints worked as masons. By faith they were Christians, they always practiced strict fasting, giving the money they earned to the needy.
Traditions and rituals
This day is usually dedicated to horses. They are bathed, combed and decorated with ribbons in the mane and tail. Then, the priest immediately, on the shore, sprinkled the animals with holy water. They feed them a lot, sparing no goodies.
On the last day of summer, horses are not used for work, believing that this causes trouble. Some hippodromes do not wear saddles. Do not burn the brand on this day. Fairs are also held on this day.
