Signs September 17 - Babel's Day, Onions Day, Burning Bush

September 17 in Russia was known as Lukov Day, the Burning Bush, the Mother of God. People believed that on September 17, it was imperative to pray to the Burning Bush, which, according to beliefs, protects the house from lightning and fires - these elements were most feared in ancient times. They also believed that the Burning Bush would be able to protect livestock from disease, and the barn from fire.

Also on September 17, the feast of the icon of the Mother of God is celebrated, which in Slavic culture was known as the Burning Bush. According to legend, God appeared to Moses in the form of a burning, but not burning bush of thorns and called the prophet to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

In Christianity, the Burning Bush became the prototype of the Virgin Mary, and the Orthodox on this day pray to the icon of the Mother of God, which has a similar name. In the center of such an icon is depicted Mary with a baby, and these images are enclosed in an eight-pointed star formed by two quadrangles - red and green.

The Slavs had a custom to bypass a burning house with an icon of the Mother of God of the Burning Bush so that the fire would subside. Fires for the peasants were the most terrible evil, because they did not know how to fight them. True, it was believed that a fire that occurred as a result of lightning could be extinguished with milk, beer, kvass.

They also said that if you throw a white dove into a burning house, the fire will go out. They tried to keep a black cat or dog at home, because they believed that these animals saved from fire.

Women on September 17 dug out onions, and therefore, the holiday was popularly called Lukov. On September 17, men had to go around the hayloft with pitchforks and stick them into sheaves in order to drive away the evil spirits that could hide there and attack domestic animals in winter. In addition, if a house was being built, then dry moss was also pierced with a pitchfork.

Sometimes it could snow on September 17, and therefore, they tried to finish all work in the fields and gardens earlier.
