Advice to women of Kalmykia: tomorrow night wipe the mirror

In Kharitonov day stopped collecting and eating berries. It was believed that the devil spit on them and they would harm their health.

Also excluded from the diet for the day berry compotes and jam.

We did not celebrate engagements and weddings on this day, as it was believed that family life would not work out. Major financial transactions and travel should be postponed.

When evening came, the family gathered at the table. People sang quietly, had conversations and shared plans. Before going to bed, the hostess wiped the mirrors and windows. It was believed that clean glass scared away evil and cleansed the house of resentment, anxiety and bad thoughts.
