Sergey Panasenko. "Pond. Golden autumn", 1996

The hot summer is passing and autumn is creeping up unnoticed...

The most familiar sign of autumn is the yellowing leaves. Indian summer is coming soon. In ancient times, people noted: “A lot of netting for Indian summer - for a clear autumn and cold winter”, “Spider web spreads over plants - for warmth”, “Autumn netting - for clear weather, for a bucket”.

In the popular imagination, autumn makes you aware of its character with many signs. You just need to notice them. So, in the old days, rumor assured: “There are a lot of mountain ash in the forest - the autumn will be rainy, if not enough - dry”, “If the cranes fly high, slowly and“ talk ”- it will stand good autumn”, “Thunder in September portends a warm autumn.”

Rural residents consider the beginning of autumn with the equinox falling on September 22-23. After this date, the nights become longer and the days noticeably begin to wane. According to the signs of autumn, winter was judged: “Damp summer and warm autumn - for a long winter”, “Breadgrower - before severe winter”, “Many acorns on oak - for a fierce winter”, “If a leaf does not fall cleanly from a tree, there will be a cold winter ”, “If the squirrel has shed cleanly before the Intercession (October 14), then the winter will be good.”

August, leaving, as if cut off the summer. Has comeSeptember is gloomy. The ancient Russian name for September - "ruen" was associated with yellow autumn, "howler" - with rain and bad weather, "ruin" - with the rut, the roar of deer, "frown" - with the fading of sunlight and early twilight.

Plowmen liked to repeat about September: “September is a dawn, frown: it’s cold and wild... In September, even a leaf does not hold on a tree.” September opens with the day of Stratilat - a greenhouse. There was a rumor about this day: “Father-south let the wind blow on the oats.” September 5 - the first frosts - "Luppovsky": "On Luppa - oats are mooning with frost." September 8 - Natalya - fescue, mow oats. “Oats will not grow - you will swallow tears,” the village peasant used to say. Then they celebrated the autumn Peter - Paul the fieldfare. Rowan trees were plucked and hung with tassels under the roof.

September 11 - Ivan-flight, flight pilot. This day belongs the following signs: “Lenten Ivan came, took away the red summer”, “Lenten Ivan - the father of the godfather in autumn”, “A peasant without a caftan does not leave Lenten Ivan”.

A day after Ivan, they start pulling root crops (except for turnips), digging potatoes. September 13 - crane departure: "On Kupriyanov's day, the cranes gather in the swamp to keep an agreement on which way to fly to warm waters." September 14 - Semyon the pilot. The first meeting of autumn. In pre-Petrine Russia New Year began on September 1 (14), on Semyon-day. That is why the peasant calendar - the calendar timed the completion of many summer jobs: “On Semyon-day, before this dinner, pasha, and after dinner, wave at the plowman with a roll.”

By mid-September, the clouds scattered - fine days were established, Indian summer came. According to old signs, it lasts only a week, from 14 to 21 September. How glorious these days are! Indian summer is the best time of autumn. Who doesn’t like people being warm, albeit farewell! “Semyon, the summer guide, makes the young Indian summer last, and brings on the old”, “It’s clear on Semyon-day - the Indian summer is warm”, “Indian summer is rainy - autumn is dry”, “Dry autumn, if it’s dry on Semyon-day” - they talked about these days.

Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary - (September 21/8) - the twelfth feast in honor of the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

According to Orthodox canons, “... for the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, God chose the most worthy of the virgins in the Jewish people, the Holy Virgin Mary.

Her name was foretold by an angel who announced to her parents and her birth. In memory of the birthday of the Blessed Virgin, the Christian Church established its own feast of the Nativity of the Virgin, or, as it is sometimes called, the Second Most Pure or Lesser Most Pure. (Big Most Pure - the feast of the Assumption).

This holiday was established by the church in the 4th century, but another seven centuries passed before the Nativity of the Mother of God took its place among the main holidays of the Orthodox Church.

Many temples have been erected in honor of the Mother of God, her image is one of the most frequently found on icons, four of all the twelve holidays are dedicated to her.

The day of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos is revered in the Russian Church also because it was on this day that the Russian army, led by the holy prince Demetrius Ioannovich, won a victory on the Kulikovo field.

This day is also known as (according to V. Dahl): mistress, mistress, mistress, mistress, big mistress, the day of the Nativity of the Virgin (Day of the Assumption of the Virgin, small mistress - August 28/15). Dormition fast, he is - spozhenki; according to the consonance and coincidence of time, it mixes with sponzhin-kami - autumn, birthday sheaf, the end and celebration of the end of the harvest).

Spozhinki, madam - a harvest festival. The backlashes have been coping for a long time and sometimes lasted a whole week. The more fruitful the summer was, the longer the holiday, celebrated by visiting guests, by wide hospitality. It was considered obligatory to invite the young to their parents. Often, grandchildren stayed with their grandparents for several days after the holiday. All the relatives came to the newlyweds "to visit the young, to see their life and being, to teach reason."

According to the Russian folk calendar,September 21 is also Aspas' Day. They met his mother - Osenina. Osenina in Ancient Russia is a holiday not only of the harvest, but also of Lada and Lely, mother and daughter - the goddesses of fertility, love, marriage. We went to the banks of rivers, lakes and ponds with oatmeal bread to meet mother - Osenina. The eldest stood with bread, and the young sang ritual songs around her. Bread was broken and distributed to all present.

Like a day spring equinox, on this day, the fire was renewed in the huts - the old one was extinguished, and the new one was lit. In order to avoid damage from the evil eye and diseases, they burned old clothes and shoes. Children were doused on the threshold with water. On the Nativity of the Virgin, the onion week begins - women harvest onions. They also remove bees from apiaries.

Osenins - the second meeting of autumn (the first on Semyon-day - September 14/1, the third - on Exaltation - September 27/14). Gatherings began in Oseniny: girls with yarn gathered in one hut, guys came to them with an accordion and treats, game songs and jokes were played.

September 21- autumn, the second meeting of autumn. We continued harvesting onions, which had begun the day before. Behind him, a little later, the milestone date passed - the autumn equinox. Solar heat is becoming less and less. Still warm rains begin to be watered: “Spring rain from a cloud, autumn rain from an ash tree.” September precipitation is beneficial for orchards and winter crops.

For early twilight and high cloudiness, September-September is sometimes called the "evening of the year."

September 24 - Fedora - skinned : "Not every summer will make it to Fedora." The bread left on the vine is upholstered: "Fedora - soak the tails." Two Fedoras uphill - autumn and winter, one with mud, the other with a cold: "Autumn Fedoras tuck in the hem, and winter Fedoras cover their snouts with a scarf."

From September 26, from Corniglia, "A root in the ground does not grow, but shivers." A day later - Exaltation, the third meeting of autumn. The first frosts: "The shift will move the heat, and the cold will move." Autumn is moving faster towards winter. Cabbage is cut down: "On the Exaltation, the first lady is cabbage." On this occasion, young people started parties - skits.

Exaltation of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord (September 27). This is one of the twelfth holidays that the Orthodox Church celebrates in honor of the remembrance of the Cross of Christ. Initially, this holiday was established in memory of the acquisition of the Cross of the Lord by the pious Helen, mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who allowed the free confession of Christianity) in Jerusalem. According to legend, in 326 she ordered the destruction of the pagan temple that stood on Calvary, and found three crosses in the ruins. One, on which Jesus was crucified, was erected for worship by Christians. At the behest of the queen, a church was built on Calvary and the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross of the Lord was established.

In the VIII century, another event was connected with this event - the memory of the return of the Cross of the Lord from Persian captivity. Then the Greek emperor Heraclius met the Cross of the Lord in Jerusalem and brought it to the temple, from which he was abducted.

For a believer who follows the Testaments of Christ, "bearing his cross" means sacrificial self-giving to fulfill the will of Christ. It means "denying oneself", conquering selfishness, performing worship and living for others.

On the eve of the feast of the Exaltation of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, a cross decorated with flowers is carried out in churches, where it lies until the end of the celebration of the Exaltation, i.e. until October 4th.

On this day, according to tradition, crosses are erected on churches under construction, processions are made around villages and villages in order to protect themselves from any misfortune. In the villages, the Exaltation is associated with the end of the harvest, this is the third meeting of autumn, the first winters. From Vozdvizhenye they began to chop cabbage. The youth held parties, baked pies with cabbage; that is why these evenings were called “kapustnikov”.

All folk signs of this day are somehow connected with the word “move” - on Vozdvizhenie, autumn is moving towards winter. It is believed that it was on this day that the bird took flight, and the bear lay down in the den. In the old days, peasants in the villages tightly locked the courtyard, sealed up all the cracks and openings. They don’t go to the forest in Vozdvizhye, so as not to inadvertently meet with evil spirits

September 28- "goose flight, hussar." Sheep were sheared on the "hussar". In the old Russian calendar, this day, September-gloomy broke in half, and according to the new reckoning, there was nothing left until the end of the first autumn month.

Coming October is dirty. At the beginning of the month, the days are still fine and dry. At noon, the sun peeps through the cloud banks. But after a few days, folk signs indicate: “In the autumn bad weather, there are seven weathers in the yard: it sows, blows, twists, stirs, roars, pours from above and sweeps from below.” These days were called ras-travel, kisselnitsa, October - dirty.

October 1 - crane years. “If the cranes fly to Arina, then on Pokrov (October 14) you have to wait for the first frost; and if they are not visible on this day, not a single frost will strike before Artemiev Day (November 2). October among the autumn brother-months is the most elegant, the most picturesque.

October 2 - Zosima, protector of bees. They put the hive in the omshanik. Those who live to the south postpone this de-lo until Savvaty (October 10).

Behind Zosima - Astafiev winds. On Astafya, of course, there are their own examples: “If the north, angry wind blows, there will be a cold not far away, the southerner blew - to heat, the west - to sputum, the east - to the bucket”, “If it’s foggy and warm on Astafya, white flies through the alleys a long web - to a favorable autumn and not soon snow.

October 7 - Thekla - zarevnitsa. The day is already waning faster, more often autumn frosts. On Sergius (October 8) they cut cabbage. On this day, they noticed: "If the first snow on Sergius, then winter will be established on Mikhailov's Day" (November 21). And here is the famous Pokrov, September 14 - the first herald of real autumn cold. “Heat a hut on the Pokrov without firewood”, “If you don’t insulate your home, you will suffer in the cold”, “What is the Pokrov - such is the winter”, “Wind from the north - to a cold winter, from the south - to warm, from the west - to snowy. With a variable wind and winter, be fickle.

October - wedding , weddings are played in the village: "The Pokrov will come - he will cover the girl's head."

On the third day after the Intercession - Erofei. "Since Yerofei, even winter puts on a fur coat." superstitious people they didn’t go to the forest against Erofei, they were afraid of the goblin. Kharitins imperceptibly approached (October 18) - the first canvases. Behind Kharitins - Denis-Pozimsky. The day noticeably lags behind the night, it gets dark earlier, it gets light later. The sun goes lower, the cumulus clouds disappear. On Sergius,The 20th of October, its own sign: "If Sergius is covered with snow, then from the November Matryona (November 22) winter will rise to its feet."

Protection of the Holy Mother of God (October 14). This Orthodox holiday was established by Andrei Bogolyubsky (X century) in memory of the miraculous appearance of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos in Constantinople during the all-night vigil. The holiday, which came to Russia from Byzantium, has become one of the most revered. This is a holiday of great joy. In Russia, they believed that the Most Holy Mother of God took Holy Russia under Her protection, therefore they have hope for Her constant intercession and mercy. The icons of the Vladimir, Bogolyubsk, Kazan and Smolensk Mothers of God are especially revered.

In everyday life, the Pokrov is associated with the end of field work, the collection of the last fruits, with the first frosts and the snow cover of the earth. The Veil is traditionally the time to attract grooms and weddings. Brides put on a wedding dress - a snow-white cover.

Usually in the morning, after going to the bathhouse, girlfriends, matchmakers, matchmakers gathered in the bride’s house and, under lamentations, songs, laments, they began to unravel the bride’s braid and twist it into a new hairstyle for a married woman. From now on, beauty - a girl's braid was forever hidden from prying eyes, because. married women had to hide their hair under a headdress. They could take off a scarf, a kokoshnik (it was worn by young women) or a cap - they could only take off a warrior in front of their husbands.

October 21:"It's getting colder from Tryphon-Palagea." Get ready warm clothes— winter is creeping in. The Russian people, quick-witted by a playful word, found work for the saints. They have: "Tryphon mends a fur coat, Palageya sews sheep's mittens." And a day later - Lampei (Evlampy). “If on Yevlampy the horns of the month are at midnight (to the north) - it will be an early winter, the snow will fall normally, and if they ate at noon (to the south) - wait for the coming winter, there will be mud and slush, until Kazan (November 4) autumn will not be snowed he will wash himself, he will not dress up in a white caftan.

Now is the time November - leafy. About this month, folk rumor says: “In November, winter fights with autumn”, “November is a semi-winter road: he loves both the wheel and the skid”, “November is a semi-winter road: a man with a cart says goodbye and climbs into a sleigh.”

Unsightly November day. The sun will peep and hide, more and more lead clouds in the sky. The days are waning, and the nights are adding and adding: "November nights are dark before the snow."

On the third day of November, the folk calendar pointed to the Kazan holiday, revered in Russia. In peasant life, this was an important date. The weather regime was breaking - winter is knocking, all sorts of field work is leaving for a long time. Village peasants were returning from the crafts. On Kazan - the first winter frost. Snowy and frosty. Peasants used to say about this day: “Before Kazanskaya it’s not winter, from Kazanskaya it’s not autumn”, “Mother Kazanskaya leads a snowless winter, it shows the path to frost”, “From Kazanskaya it’s not great, but it doesn’t order to stand”.

November 8 - Dmitriev's day. Everywhere they celebrated a memorial for the dead, which is why Dmitrov's week was known as "grandfather's". In the folk calendar, it was noted that winter does not become until Dmitr's Saturday. Among other signs about the weather, the following stood out: “Dmitrov does not wait for the day of transportation”, “Dmitry is in the snow - late spring”.

A day later - Nenila-linen. Behind the Nenils are Nastasya the shepherds.November 12, on Zinoveya, - a titmouse holiday: “The titmouse bird is not great, and she remembers her holiday.” November 14 - Kuzminki, a meeting of winter: "Kuzma-Demyan will forge, until the spring the red one will not be unforged." The rivers begin to freeze: "Do not chain the river in winter without Kuzma-Demyan." The pre-winter days are a thing of the past. "Demyanov's path is not a path, but only a crossroads." In addition, in the coming days, no big frosts are expected and may even let go: “If Kuzma-Demyan will forge, then Mikhail (November 21) will open" or: "Kuzma-Demyan with a bridge - Mikhail with a half-bridge."

Kuzminki in Russia were famous for rooster name days: Kochety were celebrated. The girls - sitters arranged a feast - a conversation. For this, each brought a kochet - a rooster. Well done were invited to the feast, who were after their own hearts.

But now the holiday has passed, it's time to get down to business: “Akundin (15th of November) kindles the barn. In some villages in the old days, the clatter of mills and flails was heard. On the mills they rattled, crushed hemp and flax - fiber was obtained from the trust. The flails on the threshing floors were rattling - the threshing of bread was still going on. So the work and passed the cold time.

November 19 - freezing. Ponds and shallow rivers under the ice shell. The next day, "Fedot - ice leads to ice." Behind him "Michael (November 21) bridges bridges. But Michaelmas Day is known more for thaws. Mikhailovsky thaws, Mikhailovsky mud: “If Mikhail Demyanov destroys the path, do not wait for him until the winter Nikola (December 19th)».

From the winter Matryonas, winter rises to its feet, frosts fly in. "From Erast (November 23) wait for the ice crust. “Erast is ready for everything: both for cold, and for hunger, and for a roadless blizzard” And two days later - Studite. “From Studit it will become cold and angry”, “Fyodor Studit is chilling the earth”, “It is cold from Studit, every day is worse.”

According to the national calendarNovember 25rain or snow - be thaws before the Introduction (December 4). Three days later: "Guryan on a pinto mare" (mud, snow). And if there is snow on Guryan, then he will lie until the flood.

It seems that winter has set in, but the villain will take it and sweat, no, no, yes, it will give off warmth with phlegm: “On Matvey (29th of November) winter sweats. But no matter how discordant with the calendar it may be, November-breasts close the Pozim autumn. Blizzards, colds, fierce days came close behind him. The real winter is coming.

So figuratively reveals the folk calendar signs and customs Orthodox Russia associated with the seasons and seasonal weather changes.

Autumn is ancient holiday farewell to summer and welcome to autumn. What is Osenins - this is a meeting of autumn in Russia.

It was celebrated three times: on September 14, 21 and 27.
September 14 is the day of Semyon the pilot. With Seeds, meetings began, i.e. work in huts by fire.
September 21 - celebrated Ospozhinki - harvest festival. It was believed that from that day the summer ended and autumn comes into its own.

September 27 - Exaltation. All signs, characteristics and recommendations of this day were somehow connected among the peasants with the word "move". The exaltation of autumn moves towards winter, “bread moves from the field to the threshing floor”, “the bird has moved away”, and even “the caftan with a fur coat has moved, and the hat has moved”.

In the old days in Russia, our ancestors celebrated Osenins on September 21, on the day of the autumn equinox, when day is equal to night. By this time, the entire crop had already been harvested. The holiday is celebrated by going to visit, wide hospitality. They certainly visit their parents and commemorate their ancestors.

September 8/21 - Nativity of the Virgin. Among the people - the Lesser Most Pure (Big Most Pure - Assumption, August 15/28).
Osenins - the second meeting of autumn. Easter day. Bees are harvested, onions are harvested. Onion Tear Day. The earth tends to white matinees. "Amen to every summer (end)." "If the weather is good, autumn will be good." "Indian summer quiet scared."

Autumn meet by the water. On this day, early in the morning, women go to the banks of rivers, lakes and ponds to meet Mother Osenina with oatmeal bread. The older woman stands with bread, and the young people around her sing songs. Then they break the bread into pieces according to the number of people and feed livestock with it.

The Aztecs celebrated the day of male fertility on this day. erection holiday. September 21 was considered to be a favorable day for the conception of strong and healthy boys. It is interesting to note that the day of the Aztec mother goddess, Atlatonin, was not this day at all, but 06/18, which is about 9 months after this holiday.

In the old days, there was a custom of treating the newlyweds to their relatives, which is why September 8 was also called “Offering Day”. All relatives and friends came to the newlyweds. The caller invited such guests: “To visit the young, look at their life and life and teach them the mind-reason.” After a hearty dinner, the young hostess showed her entire household in the house. Guests, as usual, had to praise and teach the mind. The owner took the guests to the yard, showed them rye in the barns, summer and winter harness in the sheds, and treated them to beer from a cask in the garden.
September 27 - the third Osenins, "Snake Holiday".

According to popular belief, on this day, snakes and other reptiles, along with birds, moved to an unknown blissful country called iriy (the Christian word took on the sound of "paradise"). Therefore, they were sent off with requests to convey messages to those who had gone to another world.

“Exaltation is a holiday of snakes. Snakes move to one place. They go into the ground, move there.” On September 27, they try not to go into the forest, which is completely at the disposal of the snakes. Whoever goes into the forest can be dragged underground by snakes. Fleeing from snakes, you can read a poem. Right foot step and stop when you go into the forest. Make three bows to the earth and say: "Save me, Lord, from the beast running, from the creeping reptile." And spit three times over the left shoulder.

In the Perm province, it was believed that wearing the Maryin root plant on a pectoral cross protects against a snake.
“If you see a snake, shake it by the tail, then it won’t bite and won’t crawl away anywhere.” (Vlasova M. Russian superstitions. Encyclopedic Dictionary. - St. Petersburg, 2001. - S. 202.)

The snake is depicted on medical emblems: above the bowl, the staff of the god of healing Asclepius (among the Romans - Aesculapius), entwined with snakes. A snake in the hands of the sorceress Medea, who could restore youth.
Every year, thousands of snakes are removed from nature to obtain poison. Gyurza and cobra became rare.

OSENINS. folklore holiday

LEADING. Hello guys! Today we have a holiday called Autumn. What is Oseniny - this is a meeting of autumn. In the old days in Russia, our ancestors celebrated Osenins on September 21, on the day of the autumn equinox, when day is equal to night. By this time, the entire crop had already been harvested. And what kind of harvest could the peasants collect? Let's remember what grows in the garden?
CHILDREN: Carrots, beets, cabbage, potatoes ...

HOST: Right! And so, having harvested, the peasants arranged a holiday, sometimes for a whole week, they went to visit each other, put all the most delicious on the table, the grandchildren stayed with their grandparents for several days. And we will also invite Autumn to visit today. Only you and I are used to representing Autumn in the form of a beauty in a multi-colored outfit, with a bunch of yellow leaves, but in Russia Autumn was depicted as a little dry peasant. His face is stern, with three eyes and shaggy hair. After harvesting, he walked through the fields - he checked whether everything was harvested properly. And today Autumn will appear in the form of a girl. So, let's say a cry together: Autumn, Autumn, you are welcome!

Includes Autumn and 3 autumn months.
AUTUMN: Good afternoon, my friends!
Waiting for, come on, me?
Summer was red
For a long time, power did not yield.
But everything comes to a time -
I arrived at the threshold.
I came, guys, not alone, but with my brothers. And what are their names, you now guess.

SEPTEMBER: Our school garden is empty,
Spider webs fly into the distance,
And to the south end of the earth
Cranes stretched out.
School doors opened.
What month has come to us?

OCTOBER: All the darker face of nature -
Blackened vegetable gardens, bare forests,
Silent bird voices
The bear went into hibernation.
What month has come to us?

NOVEMBER: Black field - it became white,
It rains, then it snows.
And it got colder
Ice bound the waters of the rivers.
The winter rye freezes in the field.
What month, please?

AUTUMN: Do you guys know that the people called these months differently?
SEPTEMBER: They called me frowning, howler, zarevnik.
AUTUMN: September - howler, from the roar of autumn winds and animals, especially deer.
OCTOBER: They called me winter, leaf fall, dirt.
AUTUMN: September smells like apples, and October smells like cabbage.
NOVEMBER: They called me half-winter, chest.
AUTUMN: November - September grandson, October son, winter dear father. Do you guys know any folk signs, proverbs, sayings?

And now guess Russian folk riddles:
A girl is sitting in a dungeon, and a scythe is on the street (Carrot)

SEPTEMBER: They threw off Yegorushka's golden feathers, made Yegorushka cry without grief. (onion)

OCTOBER: Alena dressed up in her green sarafan, curled the frills thickly. Do you recognize her? (cabbage)

NOVEMBER: There is a cake on one leg. Whoever passes by, everyone will bow. (mushroom)

SEPTEMBER: Sits - turns green, falls - turns yellow, lies - turns black. (sheet)

OCTOBER: Under the ground, the bird made a nest, laid eggs. (potatoes)

NOVEMBER: Round like a moon, leaves like a spruce, and a tail like a mouse. (turnip)

LEADING: And you know, guys, the turnip was a very important vegetable (remember the tale about the Turnip?).

The fact is that our favorite potato appeared in Russia only in the 18th century, and before that, turnips were the main vegetable. Turnips were eaten fresh, steamed, dried. They baked pies with turnips, made turnip kvass, cooked porridge.

AUTUMN: And the last riddle: It is bitter in haymaking, and sweet in frost. What is a berry? (Rowan)

LEADING: Rowan, guys, was very famous in Russia. All the berries have long been harvested, even in the summer, and the mountain ash turns red only by autumn, its berries burn brightly. Rowan kvass was prepared from mountain ash, laxative and refreshing. There was even a special day, September 23, when rowan berries were plucked and hung with tassels under the roof. But some of the berries were always left on the tree - thrushes, fieldfare, bullfinches, red-throated.

This is how they met Autumn in Russia.
Well, we meet Autumn with our traditional exhibition of gifts of nature, unusual vegetables grown in your country house, autumn crafts.

Autumn, we invite you to watch the children's exhibitions and help select the best exhibits for the school-wide exhibition.

AUTUMN: With pleasure! Wait for me, guys, by class. I’ll go to everyone, I won’t miss anyone, and I’ll even bring a treat!

When in the classroom Autumn says goodbye
AUTUMN: Well done guys, nice work! And now taste my treat - autumn apples! Autumn distributes apples from a basket. Goodbye!

September 21 - the second Osenins, the day of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Early in the morning, women and girls went out to the banks of rivers, lakes and ponds to meet Mother Osenina with oatmeal and jelly. In the minds of a Russian person, her image merged with the image of the Mother of God, therefore they turned to her: "The Most Pure Mother of God, deliver me from maety, harassment, take away from others, illuminate my life-being!" According to custom, on this day, all relatives and friends went to visit the newlyweds in order to "teach them the mind." The young mistress was preparing a special round cake: "For our bread - salt, you are welcome!" After a hearty dinner, the young hostess shows the house, and the young owner shows the yard, barn, barn, garden. The guests were treated to beer of their own production. All together the cathedral honored the Sun.

From September 21, it was believed that every summer - Amen. Autumn has come into its own. In fact, this is a religious holiday of the astronomical autumn equinox.

The second Osenins connect, as it were, two holidays: earthly and spiritual. In its earthly essence, it is a harvest festival, accompanied by games and songs, and in its spiritual, heavenly nature, it is the birthday of the Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ.

9th of September
In the agricultural calendar of the Slavs, this day was called "autumn" or "ospozhinki" and was celebrated as a harvest festival. On this day, Thanksgiving was given to Mother Earth.

At the beginning of September, the harvest was completed, which was supposed to ensure the well-being of the family for the next year. In addition, the meeting of autumn was marked by the renewal of fire: the old fire was extinguished and a new one was lit, which was mined with blows of flint.

From autumn, the main economic activity was transferred from the field to the garden or to the house: the collection of vegetables began (first of all, onions were harvested). Usually in Oseniny (in Orthodoxy - Christmas day Holy Mother of God) arranged a treat for which the whole family gathered. For the holiday, beer was brewed and a sheep (ram) was slaughtered. A pie was baked from the flour of the new harvest. They praised Mother Earth for giving birth to bread and other supplies.

Since the harvest of hops began from that day, the corresponding game songs were sung at the festive festivities:

We weave, hops, weave,
To our side
As on our side, there is a lot of freedom!
And the freedom is big, the men are rich!
That the men are rich, stone chambers!
What stone chambers, golden doors,
What poppies are cast!

September 27 - Third Osenins
The third Osenins are timed to church holiday The Exaltation of the Holy Life-Giving Cross of the Lord is the third meeting of autumn. "Exaltation - autumn moves towards winter."

By folk tradition cabbage parties began, girls' parties, when young people went from house to house to chop cabbage. These parties lasted two weeks. This is a kind of sacred action: cabbage was considered the sacred food of the Gods. On this day, very ancient rite- cross. The sign of the cross has been a symbol of the sun since prehistoric times. It was believed that on the Exaltation, he radiates protective power. The peasants carved crosses from wood, crossed rowan branches, painted crosses in places that they wanted to protect from evil spirits: in bins, barns.

On the third Osenins, according to popular belief, snakes and other reptiles, together with birds, moved to an unknown blissful country called iriy (in Christianity, this word took on the sound of "paradise"). Therefore, they were sent off with a request to convey a message to those who had gone to another world.

In the villages, the peasants brewed beer. They carried out a ritual plowing of the village, driving out of it Kukhoma (fever, shaking), then shared the beer at home and rested after the labors of the righteous. In the evening, baths were heated and steamed, expelling evil spirits from themselves. In the forests, before the long winter, the goblin joked with people for the last time, arranging a review of animals and birds - are they ready for a harsh winter.

According to the old calendar, the beginning of autumn fell on September 14th. The First Ecumenical Council (325) established this day as the beginning of the year. According to Orthodox tradition, the world was created in September.
Osenina the first meeting of autumn. On this day, it was supposed to “wipe out” the “new” fire with the help of two planks, and with this pure fire to start sittings, or gatherings. From that day on, in Russia, they began to celebrate autumn weddings (until November 15), moved to new homes, carried out the rite of “monastic vows” (initiation) of boys who had reached the age of seven, into youth, marking their new role in the community.

On the festive day of the first Osenins, an ancient amusing rite of burial of flies and cockroaches, annoying inhabitants of the Russian summer, was timed. September 14 - the beginning of the Indian summer, which lasts up to three weeks in some areas. They noticed: if Semyon is a clear day, then the whole Indian summer will be warm, and a warm winter must be expected.

September 14- the day of Seeds of the Pilot. Simeon the Stylite (5th century) became famous as a man of a selfless lifestyle. In the history of mankind, he discovered a new kind of asceticism. Wanting to test his spiritual strength, faith in God, he built a 4-meter-high pillar on the mountain with a platform on top, surrounded it with a wall, and read sermons to numerous pilgrims from this “mountainous” place. Then Simeon settled on a pillar in a small cell, indulging in intense prayer and fasting. Gradually, he increased the height of the pillar on which he stood. His last pillar was 40 cubits (16 meters) high. He spent 80 years in enhanced monastic deeds, of which 47 stood on a pillar.

His life was well known in Russia, they learned from him to endure in the name of a holy cause the numerous difficulties of human existence. According to an ancient tradition, it was believed that on this day it is necessary to do charitable deeds, to be merciful. In Muscovite Russia, not a single beggar was left without abundant alms on this day, even prisoners in dungeons were presented with gifts.

2. Equinox
Autumn Equinox
The day becomes shorter than the night, the "dark", winter part of the year begins, the real autumn. Harvesting ends and active autumn harvesting begins. From here begins a series of autumn holidays and related fairs and weddings. There is an active decrease in energy, which predetermines the rhythm of household work, personal life and ritual practice...

In terms of astronomy and astrology, the Autumnal Equinox is the moment when the Sun crosses the Celestial Equator and enters the sign of Libra. Accordingly, the day when this happens (and the day, day, in the Indo-European tradition is considered from sunrise to sunrise) and is considered the Day of the Autumnal Equinox. The night is now longer than the daylight hours, the dark, winter half of the year is coming. The weather can still please people with the warmth of the "Indian summer", but the trees have almost all turned into autumn colors, the flowers have almost all faded, only those few remain that bloom until the very first snow, like alpine asters, for example. And although in sunny days it is still warm, the nights are already cold, the first frosts will soon begin (if not yet).

The Autumnal Equinox is the busiest part of the year. By this time, most of the harvest has already been harvested, the housewives are actively making preparations for the winter. Fresh vegetables and fruits will not be available until next summer, only a few autumn berries and mushrooms are still available in fresh. The resulting harvest must be calculated and distributed over the entire next year, until the next harvest. That is why the sign of Libra is associated with the Autumn Equinox.

Harvest is not enough to harvest (harvesting is mostly the concern of the previous period of the annual cycle), the harvest must also be preserved. It is precisely this - calculation, preservation and distribution - that the period between the Equinox and Samhain is dedicated to. At this time, the housewives are actively fermenting cabbage, preparing pickles, at the same time they begin to serve pickles and jams to the table. From that day on, they started brewing beer. The peasants finished working in the field, all activity moved to the house and to the household yard, the preparation of the economy for winter began. And, of course, autumn fairs. Sell ​​crops, buy something that they themselves could not grow. Accordingly, artisans by this time were preparing more of their own goods for sale. Where there are fairs, there are always festivities; where there are festivities, there are matchmaking and weddings.

The very day of the Autumnal Equinox - the day when the transition from Light to Darkness takes place, like other critical days, was considered non-working, idle, festive, like all holidays it had its own name. The Celts called it Mabon, Alban-Elved, among the Slavs this day was called Oseniny. The day of the Autumnal Equinox is dedicated to the mother goddess (who concurrently bestows material wealth), the astrological sign of Libra is ruled by Venus.

Christians adopted this ritual: on September 21, Christian churches celebrate the Nativity of the Virgin. What is interesting, in the distorted julian calendar holiday closer to the original, correct date than in the Gregorian (Catholics celebrate the Nativity of the Virgin on September 8, all dates are given in the Gregorian, new style), this suggests that Christians adopted this holiday rather late.

The holiday was traditionally for women. On this day they baked ritual bread (however, the agricultural peoples baked ritual bread for any holiday), women went to the river with this bread, to meet them very much. Also, women plowed the salting around the yard with a plow, protecting the house and household from the dark forces gaining strength.

One of the most important rituals was the kindling of fire. All fires were extinguished in the houses, and then rekindled. It was supposed to kindle a fire in a ritually pure way - by hitting a stone against a stone or rubbing a piece of wood against a piece of wood. By the way, an interesting incident - the fire produced by a piezoelectric lighter turns out to be the cleanest. Zoroastrians - the main fire-worshippers of our day - believe that the purest fire is when natural gas coming out of the earth ignites from a lightning strike. In a piezoelectric lighter, an electric spark - a small lightning - generated by hitting a stone - a piezoelectric crystal - ignites a gas extracted from the bowels of the Earth.

There were also feasts and festivities, especially for youth. Young people made themselves crowns from fallen leaves, girls made beads, stringing red rowan berries on a thread. These beads symbolized Brinsingamen - Freya's necklace. During the festivities, the girl threw this necklace around the neck of the guy she liked and he had to spend the whole day with her.

This is the historical and cultural background of the holiday, predetermined by the energy of the annual cycle. How and what should we, city dwellers, do today?
How to celebrate the Autumn Equinox for a modern city dweller?

Actually, exactly the same. Bake a cake to treat your friends to. Women can and should go to the river with this pie, greet autumn, leave part of the pie on the shore (eat the rest, so take it with you in moderation so as not to take the demand back home).

What to do and what not to do around the Autumnal Equinox?

It must be remembered that near the Autumn Equinox, the decrease in solar and vital energy goes very quickly, so you should minimize the load on your body, pay more attention to health, and avoid overload. The period near and after the Autumn Equinox is extremely unfavorable for new beginnings, new projects and deeds, on the contrary, it is very good for summing up, completing, getting results and renewing old contacts and connections. In a sense, this time is similar to the period of the waning of the moon, but it mostly affects long-term affairs, with a development cycle of a year or longer.

Immediately after the Equinox, it is very good to engage in trade. During this period, it is good to both sell and buy. Right now it makes sense to bring your projects to the phase of obtaining results and sell them. In the period immediately after the Equinox, this can be done with maximum benefit. And by the way, good time to conduct an audit of stocks and reserves, to decide what should be left and what should be discarded. The period is most favorable to sell the supplies you no longer need with maximum benefit for yourself. If you do not do this on time, these reserves will lie dead weight with you, hindering development, it will be much more difficult to sell them later, they can generally "rotten", become useless to anyone. And they can get in the way further development like excess fat in an obese person. At the same time, right now it is necessary to stock up what is needed and necessary, creating a material base for further growth.

Since it is in the period immediately after the Equinox that the vital force decreases most rapidly, you should allocate time for rest and generally limit the load. It is very good and useful to combine leisure and business communication, as was usually done at fairs. The time while the Sun is in Libra is very favorable for the conclusion of any alliances, from marriage to business and political. Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity! Also, this time is extremely favorable in order to renew old connections, find old friends, and renew lost acquaintances.
Magic

The dark season is suitable for dark witchcraft. This is not only inducing damage, love spells and curses. This is also any magic aimed at communicating with the world of the dead, with ancestors, guardians of the family, with "dark" gods, personifying the elemental forces of nature. This includes all fortune-telling. It is not for nothing that they almost do not guess in the summer, and the peak of fortune-telling falls on the night before Christmas ( winter solstice), the longest night of the year, the moment of triumph and the greatest power of Darkness.

In the period between Mabon and Samhain, the last services of the goblin and the water are performed, which, according to folk beliefs, after which they go into hibernation.

To dark side Magic also includes a modern hobby - spiritualism. On long winter nights, it is much easier to communicate with the world of the dead. But even more dangerous!

3. Kindling a new fire
At home, you can and should light at least a few candles. Ideally, five: four on the cardinal points and one in the center of the room. You can symbolically burn new fire- turn off for a minute all the electrical equipment in the house, which will symbolize the extinguished old fire, and after the candles are lit, turn it on again.

And, what is very important, try to free this day as much as possible from all affairs. The energy on the days of the turning point is actually very unstable, any business that you do on this day will be especially difficult and can lead to completely unpredictable consequences. No wonder our ancestors declared these days idle.

4. Fieldfare
September 23 - Peter and Pavel Ryabinniki. Mass collection of mountain ash. On this day, mountain ash was harvested for the future, for compotes and making kvass. Rowan infusion was considered a good anti-inflammatory remedy for winter colds. They decorate windows for the winter with rowan clusters from all wickedness.

Rowan is a faithful assistant against twigs and evil spirits. Rowan infusion was considered a good anti-inflammatory remedy for winter colds. The people believed that if a malicious spirit torments you, it doesn’t give you sleep, it comes to your chest and chokes you, you need to take a rowan branch, outline the space around you - and evil spirits will perish, as it never was. And therefore, windows for the winter were decorated with rowan clusters from all wickedness.

In Russia, there are two Peter - Paul - big and small, summer and autumn. Autumn Peter - Pavel - fieldfare. At this time, after the first frosts, the mountain ash becomes sweeter and they begin to collect it for food. Gathering mountain ash, leave on each tree part of the berries for birds. Few mountain ash - dry autumn, and a lot - harsh winter.

Fieldfare OR SORBARIA is a flowering ornamental shrub with leaves very similar to Rowan. The height of the bush reaches 2 m. Numerous white or cream small flowers are collected in large fluffy paniculate inflorescences that adorn the plant for quite a long time in the middle of summer. The plant is very stable, unpretentious and even quite aggressive - it reproduces by root shoots when good care in huge number and can inhibit other plants.

Root offspring of most species form dense thickets. They can grow both in the sun, but there they are shorter and fade faster, and in partial shade - the plants are taller and bloom longer.

Fieldfare (lat. Turdus pilaris) is a common species of European thrushes.
It breeds everywhere in Europe, from the northern border of forest vegetation to the northern border of the steppe zone, and also in Siberia - to the watershed between the Yenisei and the Lena. In Southern Europe, North Africa, the Caucasus, Central Asia and Kashmir it is found as a vagrant, wintering bird, although with a significant harvest of wild berries it also winters in Central Europe.

Fieldfare differs from other thrushes primarily in its way of life. Although some pairs breed in isolation, most of them gather in medium-sized colonies of 30-40 pairs. They like to settle in park plantings and in copses, along the edges of forests, closer to wet meadows. Fieldfare is not found in dense forests. Its main habitats are in the north and in the middle part of Europe and Asia. Some birds are sedentary, some are nomadic. Scandinavian fieldfare, like a certain number of Central European ones, fly south for the winter, primarily to the south and west of Europe. The nesting season lasts from April to July. Fieldfare eats both animal and plant foods. In winter, flocks of fieldfare flock to feast on mature mountain ash and other berries (eg sea buckthorn). The fieldfare thrush is not a particularly valuable commercial species, its shooting is allowed all year round without license. The main purpose of shooting is to protect orchards, and the meat of thrushes is also eaten.
