Full-fledged folk calendar describes in detail the signs that should be taken into account according to each day. Let's try to highlight the main dates, and at the same time remember what holidays are celebrated during this period.

The Orthodox Church celebrates the following dates in the fall:

  • September 8 (21) – Birth Holy Mother of God. The bees are removed, the Most Pure One is greeted with loaves of bread and jelly.
  • September 14 (27) – Exaltation of the Holy Cross. Legend says it’s time to take off your caftan and put on your sheepskin coat.
  • October 1 (14) – Intercession Day. Determine what kind of wind is blowing:
  • eastern - to frosty winter; southern - warm; western - to snowy; northern - cold, windy.
  • October 22 (November 4) - honoring the icon of the Mother of God of Kazan. On Kazanskaya, rain portends early winter. Getting married on this day means finding family happiness.
  • November 15 (November 28) - the beginning of Lent (Rozhdestvensky). If the snow falls in a thick ball, it will lie until the spring flood.

In addition, there is also the folk calendar of the ancient Slavs, in which each date contains a certain sign. For example, people celebrated the arrival of golden autumn three times in September:

On September 14, on Simeon the Summer Conductor, the first Osenins took place. This day is credited with starting Indian summer. People thanked mother earth for harvested. And the men carried out the sacrament of renewing the fire: they burned bonfires and spread the blessed flame into the houses, where the owners fumigate their homes, livestock, barns and prayed for the preservation of their home from disasters.

September 21 - in parallel with the Nativity of Mother Theotokos, the Slavs celebrated the second Autumn. Beliefs said that every summer comes to an end. In addition, the 21st day of September is a period autumn equinox. Women prayed to the Mother of God, old men taught wisdom to young lovers, and harvest festivals were held everywhere.

It is from this moment on ancient legends, creeping reptiles (snakes) and flying birds went to the blessed country - Iriy (aka paradise), and through them people could convey news to the dead.

It was also common practice to organize cabbage parties - to chop cabbage and store it for the winter.

And in October, with the Feast of the Intercession, weddings began. After all, it’s good to go for a walk when the heat has already gone, but the cold has not yet set in, the harvest has been harvested. But many impatient couples did not wait until October, and wedding celebrations began to boom everywhere from the beginning of autumn.

According to popular belief, what does a wedding celebrated in autumn promise? The signs are as follows:

  • A wedding in September means a calm, measured married life.
  • Wedding in October - hard life, with many obstacles that love will overcome.
  • - the family will not know poverty and hunger, there will always be prosperity in the house.

You should also pay attention to the weather on the day of the ceremony:

  • Clear weather gave way to sudden rain - wealth awaits the newlyweds.
  • A storm or thunderstorm overtook the newlyweds at the wedding - misfortune will happen soon.
  • A strong frost has arrived on this special day - the first-born will be a boy, strong and healthy.
  • The winds blow at the wedding - the inconstancy of one of the couple, a volatile relationship.
  • The snow has fallen and glistens in the sun - the family’s life will be independent and prosperous.

What about horror stories? Our ancestors couldn’t do without terrible predictions! Here's what scares people's beliefs:

  • An apple tree blossomed in the garden in the fall - imminent death awaits one of the household members.
  • The summer rain is falling (at the same time the sun is shining) - the drowned man will soon be found.
  • Any flower that blooms in autumn portends a young death, only if its color is blue, an older person will pass away.

Traditionally autumn in Rus' it is time for agricultural holidays and harvest rituals. At this time, the harvest was being harvested, which ensured a happy and well-fed winter, prosperity and well-being in the family.

Small forms of folklore, such as proverbs, preserved in speech and reflected the importance of the fruitful season in the life of a person dependent on nature. Through a proverb, in a short, concise form, people drew analogies between a good harvest and wealth ( “In autumn and the crow has a shock of bread”), noted seasonal changes in the world of animals and plants.

The importance of weather became the reason for the division of proverbs into phenological periods, that is, according to climatic features. So they highlight early autumn– a bright, joyful period, reflecting the beauty and generosity of nature, golden – beautiful time the withering of leaves and the travel of migratory birds, and the pre-winter period is a time of unpredictable bad weather, a sign to prepare for winter. All these phases thematically correspond to their own types of proverbs. Every autumn month also honored with special sayings.

Proverbs about autumn express the primary interests of the farmer: livestock health, folk signs to the weather, which can affect the economy, the desire for prosperity and peace.

Scroll autumn signs about living and inanimate nature.

Autumn is the time of thinkers and philosophers. Indeed, many people think so. But this is also the time of harvest, as well as a sharp change in weather. After all, now the nights are getting longer and the days are getting shorter. If you pay attention to the weather in autumn, you can find out what awaits us in winter, spring, and whether there will be a harvest next year. Thanks to numerous observations of our ancestors, folk signs have emerged that help predict the weather in certain months, as well as the time of year.

Folk signs of early and late autumn

Autumn is glorified by many classics of world literature, because it is at this time that they can write a lot and inspiration appears. Wise people In addition to harvesting, preparing for winter, they are also attentive to changes weather conditions, precipitation, as well as animal behavior. All these signs will help determine exactly what winter, spring, and summer will be like.

Signs are divided into several types:

  • Based on animal behavior. On changes in their mood, as well as color, thickness of the fur coat, changes in the skin.
  • On changes in precipitation. That is, how heavily or lightly it snows, rains, and possibly hails.
  • On how insects behave.
  • How does the color of leaves change (some features of trees, plants).
  • Observation of the moon, stars, wind, and clouds.

The list will accept:

  • If the summer was quite humid, there was a lot of precipitation, and the fall was very warm, then most likely the winter will be very long and cold.
  • If there is a strong shower of stars in the fall, this indicates that next year there will be a weak harvest of wheat, as well as fruits and vegetables.
  • The snow fell very early, which means the onset of spring will be quite early.
  • If the stars are hidden behind the clouds, expect bad weather the next day. If they shine brightly, then tomorrow the weather will be very good.
  • If a little frost or hoarfrost is found on the grass early in the morning, the autumn day will be warm and nice.
  • During velvet season There are a lot of cobwebs flying, which means that autumn will be warm and clear. But it's a long winter.
  • There are a lot of cobwebs on the trees, indicating that the winter will be harsh and cold.
  • If you find mosquitoes in your house in November, then the winter will be warm.
  • If you have a farm and chickens and ducks hide their heads under their wings, expect a very cold winter.
  • If birds fly high enough to warm regions, then the winter will be warm. If it's low, expect bitter frosts.
  • If this year you have collected a huge harvest of nuts, but there are very few mushrooms in the forests, expect that in winter there will be a lot of snow, precipitation, and severe frosts.
  • A lot of rowan trees in the forest indicate that autumn will be rainy and gloomy. In winter there will be a lot of wet snow and rain. If there are few rowan trees, then the winter will be dry.

Folk signs of warm and cold autumn

Many of our ancestors have been collecting signs for thousands of years. They were collected mainly thanks to the attentiveness of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers. One person noticed one event, and the other noticed another. This is how folk signs appeared, which now also do not lose their relevance and are often used by summer residents, as well as people who own a farm. They help determine and predict the weather, and better prepare for a cold and snowy winter.

ABOUT autumn signs:

  • The leaves begin to fall very late, which means that the winter will be cold and snowy.

The most striking signs of autumn, winter, spring and summer are reflected in the works of great poets, writers, and artists. In addition, observations of seasonal changes played in nature important role in the organization of human economic activity.

September

September is considered the first month of autumn. It is at this time that changes associated with the life of living and inanimate nature begin to occur. First of all, this concerns a decrease in air temperature, changes in precipitation, and a decrease in clear days. It is no coincidence that in ancient times September was called spring or gloom. Many signs of autumn characterize it exactly this way.

Quotations that were born many centuries ago have survived to this day:

  • September is cold, but full;
  • thunder in September - for warm autumn;
  • cranes fly high, coo loudly - for a good autumn.

The first month of autumn is the time of Indian summer. Many folk signs of autumn are associated with this period. For example, inclement weather that prevails from mid-September to the end of the month will certainly be replaced by a long, dry autumn. A clear Indian summer indicates that the winter will be frosty.

October

Gryaznik, Podzimnik, Svabednik - all these are names of the same month - October. The ancient names reflect the main features of the second autumn month, as well as general signs of autumn. In October, rains become more frequent, snow may fall, and night frosts become regular. It has long been customary to have weddings at this time, because the time of hard agricultural work was ending. In addition, after the harvest it was not difficult to organize a festive feast.

There were beliefs among the people that had to be followed strictly. In order for the cranes to return to their native land, it was necessary to shout out after the flying flock: “The road is on the road!” In the first half of October there was always honey on the table. At the end of the month, it was recommended to hang all clothes out in the morning frost to get rid of evil spirits.

There are signs of autumn that any modern person knows about. For example, a flying cobweb in early October indicates that cold weather will not come soon. October 4th will indicate what the weather will be like for another four weeks.

November

Jelly, half-winter, chestnut, leaf fall. This is what the ancestors called the last month of autumn. Dark nights- its main feature. But after the first snow, which covers the ground in November, it becomes lighter at night.

A large amount of snow fell in last month autumn, allows us to hope for a good harvest next year. The appearance of mosquitoes in November indicates what is to come warm winter. Frosts will linger if the last leaves fall from the trees slowly.

In November, both nature and people prepare for the arrival of winter. Therefore, many signs of November indicate what the coming time of year will be like. Knowing the signs and knowing how to use them helps people adapt to natural conditions, feel more secure. It is for this reason that familiarity with the basic signs related to different times years, should occur in childhood.

Signs of autumn for preschool children

Seeing the distinctive features of each season is a very important skill that a child should master before going to school. Getting to know the signs of a particular season occurs on a practical level during walks in the forest, park, square, or near a pond. Even simply observing nature from the window of your room can teach a child a lot.

Autumn is a bright time of year. Its signs cannot go unnoticed by the child. Children usually themselves begin to ask questions about the changing color of the leaves on the trees; they are amazed by the thick fogs and the farewell cries of birds. It is important for an adult to support the child in conversations, give him the opportunity to reason and provide him with new knowledge.

Walking through the park and watching squirrels, you can mention that a large number of squirrel pantries with rich supplies may indicate harsh winter. This is also evidenced by a good harvest of rowan berries. By the leaves on a birch tree you can learn about the timing of the approaching cold weather. If they turn yellow below, frost will not come for a long time. If the crown of birch trees begins to turn yellow at the top, the approach of the cold season is just around the corner.
Regular conversations with your child about the signs of autumn will lead to the fact that he will gradually develop a cognitive interest; he himself will easily notice the main changes occurring in nature.

Phenological observations

Children begin to conduct systematic observations of changes in nature associated with the changing seasons while studying at school. This is required by the requirements of the program in the subject " The world", which is included in the list of compulsory disciplines.

As a result of studying individual topics, children will learn that the nature of the work of residents rural areas depends on the season. The signs of winter, spring, and summer are listed by children without any difficulty, as are the signs of autumn. 2nd grade is the stage of learning when students begin to keep diaries of nature observations. The folk signs that were discussed in the lessons must be observed, if possible, and made sure that the conclusions made by the ancestors are correct. Systematic work in this direction is not only interesting, but also useful for the child for further study of nature.
