Today, May 10, Orthodox Christians honor a great holiday, namely the Healing Spring, marked in the church calendar with a red cross.
On this day, priests perform water consecration services, which are called “small consecration”.
At the same time, all the crops in the field are sprinkled with holy water, so that they are protected from hail.
Also, patients drink agheasma in the morning, on an empty stomach, to strengthen themselves.
On the Healing Spring, on the first Friday after Easter, no washing, no ironing, no sewing and no other household chores are done.
It is also said that all waters are sanctified on this day, being noisier and more boisterous.
It is also believed that from the Healing Spring you can learn how much you have left to live. People in many areas of the country put a cup under a walnut or elder tree, and if they find soil at the bottom of the cup, then it is a sign that the end is near.
