Traditions. The holy apostle and evangelist Luke was a doctor and painter, a mentor of painting. He was also prayed for good relations in the family, for advice and love between husband and wife, for the healing of eye diseases, as well as those who went to plant a garden. Onion is a healer and healer. No wonder it was said: “Onions - from seven ailments”, “Onions and a bath rule everything”, “Whoever eats onions, God will save him from eternal torment.”

On Onion Day, "onion markets" were organized in large villages and cities, although the onion trade was not considered profitable. For the unpretentiousness, abundance and cheapness of onions, grateful prayers were offered to the Apostle Luke. We watched the leaves: the latest leaf fall in oak and aspen. Until the cherry leaf falls cleanly, no matter how much snow falls, everything will melt. From that day on, the autumn season began (going out to sea for fishing). Therefore, among the people, the Apostle Luke was also considered the patron saint of fishing: they turned to him with a prayer for a good catch and a safe return home. Traditional Russian cuisine has many fresh fish dishes. And it was also prepared for the winter: salted, frozen. But the children were not given fish dishes until they learned to speak. It was believed that otherwise the child would be as mute as a fish.

Dreams about fish were interpreted by the people as harbingers of rain or tears. If a woman dreamed of a fish, then this could be interpreted as an omen of pregnancy. The fact is that in Russia they believed that the souls of the dead often move into fish.

Conspiracy if a cat died in her arms

Today I would like to tell you about what to do if a cat died in your arms. To ward off trouble, go to the river and stand with one foot in the water (the other foot should be on the shore). Looking at the water, read the following plot:

My water, water, sister bank,
You wash the roots, you sharpen the stones.
Wash away everything dashing from me,
Take away all the bad
Body for relief
For my soul to be healed.
And be, my words, strong,
And stand, my deeds, sculpting,
Stronger than damask steel and stickier than honey.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Now and forever and forever and ever.
Amen.
