Tomorrow in Kalmykia will celebrate the day of Paraskeva Dirty and

In Russia, Paraskev, the day of which will be celebrated tomorrow, was given an unassuming nickname - Gryaznuha.

This is due to the damp weather and slush that usually accompanied the day of her memory. “It’s not dry,” people said. The amount of dirt was judged when winter would come. If the mudslide is so great that the footprint of the horse’s hoof is immediately filled with water, then it is four weeks before winter. In addition, a large mud promised an abundance of rain in the spring.

There were Paraskeva and other nicknames - Lineanich, Trepalnitsa. On this day, the hostess began to tremble and grind flax. But spinning and washing on Paraskeva was not recommended, although it was possible to sew.
