Kaluzhans told about the rules for Sergei Kapustnik

Today Orthodox Kalujans celebrate the day of memory of St. Sergius of Radonezh. On this day in 1392, the wonderworker and founder of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra departed to the Lord.

One of the most revered Russian saints is considered a reformer of monasticism. He introduced a communal rule in the monastery and himself set an example: he built cells, cut wood, baked bread and sewed clothes. It was also this saint who blessed Prince Dmitry Donskoy before the Battle of Kulikovo.

In Russia, he was nicknamed Sergey Kapustnik, since during this period peasants actively salted and preserved this vegetable. The whole family was involved.

In addition, our ancestors baked cakes on cabbage leaf and arranged maiden gatherings. This holiday was considered a kind of screening of brides.

Today you should wash well, and it is best to go to the bath. Traditionally, the house is also cleaned on this day.

As reported by “MK in Kaluga” earlier, the Kalugans were told what to do on Thekla Zapredalnitsa.
