Town and church holidays
Today, believers honor the memory of the prophet Zacarias and the righteous Elizabeth, the fathers of Saint John the Baptist. The priest Zacharias and his wife did not have children for a long time (this was considered a punishment from God), but one day an angel appeared to the saint who was praying in the temple. He told Zechariah that Elizabeth would give birth to a son who would be “great before the Lord.” The priest doubted this, because his wife was old, and was punished by being dumb for his disbelief.
According to legend, Zacharias was killed by the servants of King Herod shortly after the birth of the prophet John. Elizabeth, hiding with her baby in the desert, outlived the man by 40 days.
The day of Elizabeth and Zechariah in the popular calendar is not considered the most prosperous day. It is customary to refrain on September 18 from new beginnings, not to make important decisions and not to hit the road. It is also customary to sweep the house with a birch broom on this day. It is believed that it will save from the evil eye and repel evil spirits. And the peasants also went to the bath without fail.
Traditions and rituals
People called this day Kumokhin or Kumokin, autumn kumokha, expulsion of kumokha, and all because there is a belief that on September 18, kumokha (fever) comes out of the forest and attacks women. The evil spirit turns into an old woman traveler who asks for bread and to be allowed to spend the night. If you let it into the house, it will bring various diseases.
