Folk signs and traditions of the day

From thoughts for every day, collected by Leo Tolstoy

My flesh is subject to all external calamities and sufferings; let the flesh complain if it is harmed. But as long as with my mind I do not recognize as harm what has happened to the flesh, my essence remains unharmed. Do not be rash, bear your burden, may it serve you well; extract from it what is necessary for your rational life, just as the stomach extracts from food everything necessary for the flesh, or like a fire that burns brighter when something is thrown into it. (Marcus Aurelius)

Traditions for September 9

On this day, rowan trees are traditionally collected; it is considered the first bow to the mountain ash tree. This berry was very important - it is not only very tasty, but also the first remedy for colds.

People believed that anyone who drinks rowan juice every day would not be overcome by any illness. A conspiracy against fever was read over the roots of the rowan tree, and then, tearing them out of the ground, they placed them on the bed of a sick person. In the old days they believed that for various diseases it was very good to crawl through a rowan tree, split in half and tied at the edges. With the help of rowan they protected the newlyweds from sorcerers at the wedding - the leaves were placed in shoes, and the fruits were put in the pockets of the newlyweds.

In the Russian North, a shepherd went into the forest and uprooted three trees - rowan, spruce and pine, split them to the top, placed them in the gate and used them for the first time to drive the cattle out to pasture in the spring. This tree also helped those who were going on the road.

A long journey will end happily if you make a staff from a rowan tree, chew it and leave a sliver in your mouth behind your cheek, so as not to be afraid of any adventures along the way. A spell for fever was pronounced at the root of a tree, and then, after tearing it out of the ground, it was placed on the bed of a sick person.

Under no circumstances should rowan be chopped, broken, used for firewood, or picked flowers. This tree was considered a vengeful tree: whoever breaks or cuts it down will soon die himself or someone from his house will die. The rowan tree could not be cut down either because the healers “transferred” the disease from a person to this tree: whoever cuts it down will get sick and die.

In the church on September 9, the memory of Pimen of Palestine and Pimen the Great is honored. Pimen the Great was born around 340 in Egypt. In his youth, he decided to devote himself to faith in God and went to the Skete monastery along with his two brothers. However, in 407, the monastery was attacked by Berber tribes, who destroyed the monastery. The monks had to move to the ruins of one of the nearby pagan temples. There they led a righteous and strict life, which earned them the respect of the local residents. It is not surprising that very soon the monks began to have students from among the peasants. Pimen stood out for his eloquence, and as proof of this there is even a collection of his aphorisms. He died at the age of 110 years.

As for Pimen of Palestine, he was born in the 6th century and lived in the desert, trying to carry out everything free time in prayers and thoughts about God. It was he who once told the monk Agathonik about his sin, which tormented him, and for which Pimen expected retribution. When Pimen was a shepherd, he saw that one day a man was passing by his flock. Pimen's dogs rushed at him and tore him to pieces. Pimen did not dare to come up and save the man, for which God told him that he would die exactly the same death. Subsequently, this is exactly what happened.

On September 9, rowan was collected and used as a bactericidal, antiscorbutic, and diuretic. Many people hung bunches of rowan trees over the roofs of their houses.
