Why people in Kalmykia need to get out in the rain tomorrow

According to an old custom, the newlyweds on September 26 ate turnips with honey. According to popular beliefs, this tradition made marriage strong and happy.

There was also a belief that if it began to rain on that day, it was useful to go under it. The drops were cleared of bad thoughts and charged with vitality for a year ahead.

There was another interesting custom: it was necessary to plant an onion in a pot and make a wish. It was believed that if a sprout appeared by the morning of September 27, the plan would be implemented in the near future.
