Why do we need to make warm clothes tomorrow

In Russia, from October 21, the approach of winter became more and more noticeable. "Everything is colder from Tryphon-Pelagea," people said.

In order to avoid the cold, it was necessary to prepare warm clothes in advance. The hostess on this day took out towels, fur coats, hats, mittens and saw if they required repair. “Triphon repairs a fur coat, Pelageya sews mittens,” they sentenced.

On Pelagia (Pelagia) and Tryphon, the owners lowered barrels to the bottom of the rivers with cucumbers and cabbage salted for the winter. This was a successful invention of the Russian people: under the ice, the water temperature never dropped below zero degrees, so the products did not spoil, but did not freeze. If necessary, the ice was cut with wormwood, barrels were taken out into the light of God, and the tastiest rascals appeared on the peasant table in the winter.
