So how many people celebrate the Honeymoon? According to the church calendar, the Honey Spas is an inconsistent holiday, as each year falls on the same date - August 14. In addition, the Honeymoon Savior starts its two-week Assumption fast, which is considered one of the most strict posts. The history of the holiday goes back to the era of Prince Vladimir the Great - as the ancient manuscripts say, on this day the baptizer of all Russia accepted Christianity. Also on the Honeymoon in the churches the Brothers of the Maccabees, their mother Solomia and the teacher Eleazar, who died martyr for the Christian faith - from the Syrian king Antiochus, are commemorated. Despite all the terrible torture, the tsar never managed to force followers of the True God to renounce his convictions. After the death of the brothers Maccabees, their mother and teacher were ranked among the holy martyrs.

What do they do in the Honeymoon? By tradition, on this day, the first honeycomb cut in the hives is consecrated in the church, and then children and poor people are treated with honey. From this sweet and healthy product prepare tasty dishes and drinks - it was believed that honey, eaten on the Savior, will give health and longevity. So, cookies, pies, cereals, pancakes, rolls, cakes and other dishes with honey, which are served to the guests at the festive table, are prepared for the Honey Savior. Together with honey on this day, it is customary to bring water and poppy seeds to the church for consecration - the use of these products also contributes to the strengthening of health and the addition of vitality.

Long since the Honeymoon there was a traditionbathing in water and rivers as a means of getting rid of various ailments and sinful thoughts. On this holiday the girls gathered bouquets of thyme, marigold, mint and several poppy heads. By tradition, such a bouquet ("makoveichik") after consecration in the church becomes a home charm from troubles and adversities.

Honey Spas: signs, conspiracies, rites, prayers

The Honeymoon is given great importance to differentthe signs to which the people came up with their own interpretation. Basically, people's signs are associated with the weather and everyday events that fill the lives of ordinary village workers. For example, in the old days, winter crops began to sow in winter - if this is done before the Honey Savior, then a good harvest is unlikely to be expected. If the Honey Savior is flying birds to the warmer regions, then the winter will be snowy and cold. Birds are not in a hurry to leave their native places? Hence, we can expect a warm autumn, a protracted winter and a cold spring.

Another important sign for the Honeymoon Savior for women - it was believed that if you ask prayer in your Guardian Angel to help ask for your sins, then the higher powers will certainly help.
