Why the residents of Kalmykia need to visit the bathhouse tomorrow

In Russia, Agathonov day, October 26, was considered a time when evil forces are especially active and trying to harm a person.

To get rid of evil, it was necessary to purify the body and soul - to visit the temple, and then the bathhouse. Another name for the holiday is Bath Day.

It was customary to go to the bathhouse with the whole family, including the elderly and the sick, since, according to legend, the couple had a healing power. In the steam room specially placed decoctions of medicinal herbs - not only for medicinal, but also for "careful" purposes.
