Signs and traditions for the twenty-seventh of June.
On this day, the sowing of the latest varieties of buckwheat continued in the fields, which is why the patron saint of this day, Elisha, was popularly nicknamed "buckwheat". Throughout the clear weather during this period of summer, the peasants were engaged in sowing.
Buckwheat has been an integral part of the human diet since ancient times. There was a saying: "Buckwheat porridge is our mother, and rye bread is our father." Buckwheat was brought to Russia from Asia, and our ancestors immediately fell in love with it. Buckwheat porridge is not only delicious, but also very useful, rich in all the substances necessary for human health.
Buckwheat was grown in Russia in the seventh century. Buckwheat itself acquired this name due to the fact that during the time of Kievan Rus, this culture was grown mainly by Greek monks.
On this day, the ancient Slavs paid attention to weather changes. There are a large number of signs associated with the twenty-seventh of June.
If there was precipitation on this day, the bad weather can last for many weeks. If the rains are interrupted and the sun peeks through the clouds, then there is hope that the summer will be favorable and dry. In this case, it will be possible to remove the hay without any problems.
If dry hot weather persists these days, then the Slavs resorted to special rituals to help ask nature for precipitation, which at this time is so important for the normal growth of seedlings. Most often, people turned to nettles for help. Most often, this plant was flogged to get moisture. There was a belief that nettles could burn the heavens, and they would give free rein to the rain.
Also on Elysee Day, it was customary to consecrate new sewn or purchased clothes so that they could not bring trouble into the life of their owner.
