October 27 - Paraskeva. Paraskovea-dirty, powder, flax. Praskovya-trepalnitsy
Venerable Paraskeva (11th century), originally from Serbia, left home early, devoting herself to serving the Lord. She led a desert life in Jordan. Shortly before her death, an angel appeared to her and ordered her to return to her homeland, which the saint did. Since she came as an unknown wanderer, they buried her according to Christian custom, but not in a general cemetery. Many years later, her incorruptible relics were miraculously found, which were to not only perform many miracles and healings, but also remain in different places.
At first, Paraskeva’s relics were solemnly placed in the Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul in the Serbian village of Epivat; in 1238 they were transferred to the then capital city of Bulgaria - Ternov (Tarnovo). In the 14th century, when Greece, Serbia and Bulgaria were conquered by Turkey, Sultan Bayazet ordered the relics of Saint Paraskeva to be transferred to Wallachia. In 1396, at the request of the Serbian Queen Milica before the Sultan, the holy relics were brought to Serbia, to Belgrade. 125 years later, in 1521, Sultan Suleiman II, having taken Belgrade, stole the relics of St. Paraskeva and brought them to Constantinople. Finally, through the efforts of the Moldavian governor and ruler Vasily, they found refuge in the city of Iasi, where they were laid to rest on October 14, 1641.
In the annual calendar cycle, from about mid-October, the most bleak pre-winter time begins, when autumn is already at its end, but there is no winter yet. The main inconvenience is the impassable mud from the rains and the first snow, which immediately melts. For Russia, this is usually off-road. At such a time, the peasants sat as if under siege - they could not go to the neighboring village, nor get to the city, and it was not easy to walk from house to house, a mill or a forge was just a stone's throw away, but if you went, the cart would get stuck in the mud, you yourself would get wet, You’ll get dirty, but God forbid, you’ll catch a cold. That is why the peasant sought various signs find out when the winter path is established, the real winter will fall.
It's never dry on Gryaznukha.
There is a lot of mud on Gryaznikha - four weeks until winter.
If the mud on Paraskeva is great, the horse’s hoof is filled with water, then the fallen snow immediately establishes a winter path.
In Russia, the Paraskevas (both the saint and the martyr named Friday - November 10/October 28) are revered as women's saints, patronesses of women winter work, primarily spinning.
From Paraskovea the flax plant they begin to crush and fray the flax.
Crinkle and talk flax from Gryaznikha.
Think more flax, and there will be more fiber.
If you crush flax, then dominate it.
But out of respect for the saint and those ideas that were associated with Friday as a special day of the week, women's needlework, especially spinning, was prohibited. The ban often applied to all Fridays of the year, so it can be difficult to determine whether we are talking about every Friday or specifically about the days of memory of the Monk Paraskeva or the martyr Paraskeva Friday.
You can't spin on Friday.
Whoever spins on Friday (Friday), his father and mother will be blind in the next world (he will clog their eyes with a fire).
On Friday you can't spin, but you can sew.
Let us add that “the concepts of Friday as a day with special properties that came from ancient times and were adopted by the Church” [Putilov, 131] are reflected in various proverbs and rules of behavior:
Anyone who starts a business on Friday will back off.
You don't put a hen on an egg, the chickens don't live.
He who laughs a lot on Friday will cry a lot in old age.
To a large extent, this perception of the fifth day of the week was facilitated by church regulations: a special attitude towards Friday is due to the fact that this is the day when Jesus Christ was crucified and died on the cross (“Good Friday”); Friday is a fast day; breaking the fast was considered a significant sin; On Fridays, not only did they not spin or weave, but they did not wash or bathe the children.
