- Efimy Osenniy. The national holiday "Efimy Autumn" is celebrated on October 28 (Old Style - October 15). IN church calendar This is the date of memory of St. Euthymius of Thessalonica. Other names of the holiday: “Lenyanitsy”, “Luki”, “Efim”, “Efim the beekeeper”. Nikita (this name was given to the future saint at birth) was born in Christian family, at the insistence of his parents, he married early, but already at the age of 18, leaving his wife and daughter, he took monastic vows in a monastery on Mount Olympus. After some time, Euthymius became a schema-monk, went to Athos and settled there with the hermit Joseph, with whom he competed in mortification. After the death of his comrade, Euthymius founded a monastic community near Thessaloniki, restoring the ruins of the ancient monastery of St. Andrew. They said about this day in Rus': “Efimy closes the roots of grass and trees with the ground with the cold, covers every insect in the withered grass, brings sleep to nature.” It was a correct observation: winter was approaching, and all plants and animals were preparing for its arrival. Winter was gaining strength, and with it, unclean spirits became more active, for example, kikimora, which did not dare to harm people in the summer. According to legend, with Efimiya she began to interfere with women and girls in any endeavor: she tangled yarn, tore fabric, and broke pots. They said that you can see a kikimora only in one situation - if it sits down at the weaving mill to ruin the weaver’s work. In this case, it was necessary to make the sign of the cross over the evil spirits and ask Efimy for help. However, the kikimora could be completely kicked out of the house only with the arrival of spring, after performing a certain ritual. Despite the tricks of the undead, the peasant women continued to do household chores. First of all, flax was crushed and ruffled and yarn was prepared. The girls took on this work with all care and diligence. The quality of the raw materials will be the same as the final result of the work, that is, the linen that comes off the loom. On this day, they held a show: they took frayed flax out into the street and looked at who had it thinner and softer. The men felted felt boots for the winter, repaired agricultural implements, repaired sleighs, and in warm areas they removed the last hives from the omshaniks. Therefore, another name for this day is Efimy the beekeeper.
