Feast of honey - АкваМаркет

Feast of honey


Every year, on August 14, we celebrate the First Savior, or Macovei. On this day, it is customary to consecrate honey, poppy seeds, water and "Makovey" bouquets in churches. Our ancestors lived in harmony with nature and as a token of gratitude they brought a piece of the first harvest to God. And the bouquet was collected from mint, thyme, calendula, poppy, sunflowers and other flowers and herbs. After consecration, the amulet was placed behind the icons or on the windowsill, and its effect was considered curative. It is from the Honey-Poppy Savior that the two-week Assumption Fast begins.
