"Khokhlovka" invites to celebrate the Pokrov

On Saturday, October 17, in the architectural and ethnographic museum "Khokhlovka" will be held the holiday "Father Pokrov - the end of dances, the beginning of gatherings" (0+).

Guests of “Khokhlovka” will hear spiritual verses dedicated to the Virgin, become participants in the evening, learn the basics of spinning and weaving, learn the lyrical “provocative” song, treat the horse to the last “resilient” sheaf, and also take part in the wedding ceremony – from the Intercession began the time of weddings, families created at this time were considered strong and happy.

The great religious holiday of the Intercession of the Most Holy Mother of God, which is celebrated on October 14, in folk culture has its own traditions and ceremonies. It was believed that autumn meets winter on Pokrov, so from this day field work was completed, peasants began to hemp their huts, and even from Pokrov in the villages began gatherings.

It starts at 11:00. Detailed program - on the website of the Perm Museum of Local History.
