Why the men of Kalmykia need to check out the farm buildings tomorrow

In folk culture, November 15 was firmly established as Akindin’s Day. In the villages, it was also called Zhitnitsy, which reflected the main meaning of the holiday - concern for the safety of the harvest and the protection of grain.

Ancestors believed that it was November 15 that the saints bypassed the host buildings, checked order and cleanliness. Whosoever has the righteousness, and whosoever has the righteousness, he shall be saved.

And if they do, they will not be punished. Therefore, on this day the men rushed to put them in order, to correct the shelves, to clean the corners from garbage.
