What to do before noon on June 22 and who should hug a tree today: signs and prohibitions on Eusebius
On June 22, Orthodox believers honor the holy martyr Eusebius, Bishop of Samosata.
This day is also known by several other names, including “Eusebius,” “Ulyana,” “Ulyana Day,” and “Ulyana and Eusebius Day.” Today is considered a favorable day for meetings, making it an ideal moment to reconnect with people you haven’t seen in a long time. There is a legend about the lovers Ulyana and Eusebius, who were said to have been able to meet on this day.
It is also essential to carry out some agricultural work, particularly sowing radishes, treating potato sprouts for pests, and cleaning the shoots of phlox and roses, as this contributes to their healthy growth.
In the morning, it is recommended to collect the herb known as cat’s sleep or buttercup. When the herb is in bloom, it is considered especially healing and can be used for medicinal purposes. You can make a broom from it, which, according to legend, is said to help maintain good health.
Today is a good day to prepare for tomorrow’s festive rituals. Prepare a clean basket, find a knife that has not been used to cut meat, and gather with healing bath brooms.
If you are celebrating a birthday, you should visit your talisman tree (Christmas tree, fir tree, or pine tree). Please spend some time near it, communicating alone, and don’t forget to leave a small gift, such as a ribbon or bead, symbolizing your desire for good luck.
What should you avoid on June 22? The church does not condone hostile actions, such as swearing, gossip, and envy; therefore, it is essential to refrain from them. It is also not recommended to embark on long trips or initiate important matters before lunch, as it is believed that such actions may lead to failure.
Stay positive, take care of your loved ones, and remember to prioritize spiritual values.
