July 6, according to the new church calendar, marks the memory of the venerable Sysoy the Great, also known as Sysoy Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This day has several folk names, including “Sysoy and Yeremey,” “Sysoy the Bright,” and “Yeremey.” According to tradition, believers believe that on this day, dew acquires special healing properties, giving strength and energy to people, animals, and birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sysoy is considered the patron saint of farmers, so many people pray for a good harvest on this day. It is believed that the extremely abundant dew at this time gives health and strength to those who walk barefoot on the grass. According to this belief, it helps to strengthen the body and ward off diseases. After a walk, it is recommended to wear warm socks. Dew is also helpful for pets; they can be fed food to which dew has been added to protect against diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the traditions of our ancestors, this day coincides with the end of haymaking, and many people organized the cleaning of cellars after the first harvest. Referring to folk customs, this work must be performed only by men, as it is believed that evil spirits can influence women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, it is essential to maintain good thoughts, as it is believed that accidental curses can significantly harm the family’s fate. It is not recommended to start important matters: events may fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
