Majority church holidays Autumn is somehow associated with harvesting. For example, on September 13 (Kuprianov's day) root crops were dug up, on October 7 (the day of Thekla the Zarevnitsa) they threshed bread, on October 8 (Sergius) they cut down cabbage.

With the onset of persistent cold weather, work in the garden and vegetable garden is suspended, which means there is more free time. This is partly why autumn is a traditional wedding season.

Indian summer


It has long been known that in mid-September - early October there is an increase in temperature (after the first cold snap). This time is popularly called "Indian summer". During the “Indian summer,” warmed by the spring sun, mushrooms emerge from the ground and plants begin to bloom again. By folk calendar it lasts from September 14 - the day of the Seeds of the Summer Guide until September 21 - the day of the Nativity of the Holy Mother of God.
Why this phenomenon is called “Indian summer” and not something else is difficult to answer definitively. One can only assume that it is connected with the life and activities of a peasant woman. In the second half of September, field harvesting work ended, and the woman, very busy in the field, was a little relieved from hard work and could feel for a while summer rest. The coincidence of such a period everyday life with periods of relatively warm, pleasant weather, obviously giving rise to the name "Indian summer". The duration of such rest for a woman was as short as the periods of return of summer heat. After the "Indian summer" women began to crumple and ruffle hemp, wash it and lay flax, tinker with canvases and take up spindles and needlework.
