29.04.2020 Pathology of the uterus

I am one of those people who like folk songs, dances, holidays. It is impossible to explain the reason. Maybe in a past life I lived in a village, or maybe because part of my childhood is connected with the Ukrainian village where my grandparents lived .. The main thing is that I attend events whenever possible and enjoy it. Yes, and my work (I am a teacher of additional education in the house children's center... I just want to write "Spring", now the Burkov House, because since March 2010 it has been attached to the Burkov House, Tyumen) is associated with folk crafts.
Per Lately visited the festival "Blagovest", an evening at the Institute of Culture and recently we hosted autumn holiday"Kuzminki".

For those who do not know:
"Kuzminki" - commemoration in the fall, the proverb says. folk calendar- the first winter holiday, meeting winter. It was named in honor of Saints Cosmas and Damian, who were especially revered in the village, where they were called in their own way Kuzma and Demyan. They were considered patrons of crafts, primarily blacksmiths and doctors, and were called "unmercenaries", since they did not take money into their hands. And also "kashniki", because only porridge was consumed from food. During their lifetime, the saints were free-of-charge doctors, they treated people and livestock "for the glory of God." They say that even wild animals went out to them without fear to take medical help, and the animals lived around them amicably, no one offended anyone.
"Kuzminki" has long been known as a girl's holiday. Girls of marriageable age asked them to tie the wedding tightly, like ice on a river. On this day, the girl became the mistress of the house, she cooked food for the family and treated everyone. The main course was chicken noodles, and the pie was chicken. In the evening, the girls arranged a "Kuzma evening" with games, jokes, and treated themselves to porridge "pussies" from various cereals. Such porridge was also cooked in families on the occasion of the end of the threshing, and dishes with chicken were always on the table, since among the people Kuzma and Demyan were considered the patrons of chickens and the same day was called "Kurya name day". On this occasion, they organized cockfights, gave away chickens as gifts, did not forget to “count chickens in the fall”. The children begged the cooks for feathers from plucked chickens - certainly from the right wing, the most extreme, the tightest, - wonderful comfortable brushes for painting came out of them wooden toys... And the mischievous guys went to steal neighboring chickens in the morning. But the peasants were rather condescending to thefts of this kind, and if they scolded, it was only for the sake of order.

The party was hosted by Olga V. Lapchinskaya (Vashkeba), head of the "Folk Song Lovers" club, a very interesting person, a professional who can teach any child to sing and instill a love of music ..

2. Was at a holiday and main character- Kuzma, that's how we got it.

3. On the Internet, we found information on what Kuzma and Demyana can do together, this is how they look. But only Kuzma came to us. Let's take into account next year... We will also invite Demyan.

4. There were round dances, games, songs.

6. Our girls are beautiful needlewomen.

And I also have a video recording of one song that was performed at the holiday. I liked everyone very much, but I have not yet mastered how to throw it here. Siberian folk song - "I planted cabbage, chopped cabbage". But I can now insert words and notes.

We made two more dolls at the holiday: the kids made a "gift for a gift", and the mothers made a "filipovka"

These are very interesting dolls.

"Gift for a gift" is a doll that teaches gratitude, they make it when they want to thank someone, for example, for an unexpected gift. And this doll was also a ritual during the rite of passage from the status of "child" to the status where sex is distinguished. In different regions, gender initiation took place from 3 to 5 years.
"Filippovka" is a six-armed amulet for needlewomen. It was believed that he protects female hands from fatigue, injuries. It dyes women's labor and turns it into pleasure, so that needlework will bring a small bundle with a grain and a coin on the belt of this doll.

Unfortunately, I do not have photos of how we made these dolls, and if someone else took pictures, I will be glad if you add photos and write your impressions about the holiday.

And here are recipes for the dishes prepared for the Kuzminki holiday.

"Birdie" snack.

Rinse chicken offal thoroughly, chop finely, fry with onions, salt and pepper, add grated cheese, chopped boiled eggs, tomato paste, sour cream and boil. Put in a greased dish, pour over beaten egg, sprinkle with grated cheese, bake in the oven. Everything.

Chicken cutlets with cheese.

Pass the chicken pulp through a meat grinder twice, season with salt and pepper, mix well. Roll the cakes from the minced meat, put butter mixed with grated cheese in the middle, combine the edges of the cake into a round cutlet. Moisten the finished cutlet in a beaten egg, roll in breadcrumbs and fry in a skillet in butter.

Festive cake "Kurnik".

In the old days, "Kurnik" was baked either for a wedding or for the "Kurya name day". There are many variations of this famous cake, and no wonder! They loved to taste it with different fillings and serve it solemnly. Inevitably, you will gasp when the hostess brings in a tall conical pie, decorated with leaves and flowers of dough, with a crater at the top, steaming appetizing steam ... But what can I say, let's bake the pie. Any yeast dough will do, but there will be several fillings. First, roll out a thin layer of dough slightly larger than the pan in which we will bake. Put the layer in a frying pan, put the first filling on the dough - boiled and cooled rice. Roll out the second layer of dough, thin as a pancake, and cover the first filling with it. Put pieces of boiled chicken on the second "floor" of "Kurnik" and again cover them with a thin dough pancake. The third filling is fried mushrooms. We will cover the sides of our conical tower with the same thin overlapping pancakes, connect and pinch the bottom layer with side pancakes, and leave a small round hole at the top. From the remains of the dough we will cut out decorations in the form of leaves, ears, flowers, stars, and place them on the sides of the "Kurnik". The surface of the cake should be greased with a beaten egg using a brush or chicken feather. Pour half a glass of chicken broth into the hole of the "crater", put the pie in the oven. Baking takes about 30-40 minutes at 220 degrees, check readiness with a splinter.
Bon Appetit!

On November 14, Orthodox believers commemorate Saints Kuzma and Demyan. In the folk calendar, this date was called autumn Kuzminki, Chicken coop.

Who are Saints Kuzma and Demyan?

Kuzma and Demyan were brothers and lived in the 3rd century. Their father died early, and the boys were raised by their mother, Saint Theodotia. As adults, the brothers studied medicine. For the righteous life that they led, the Lord gave Kuzma and Demyan the gift of healing. The brothers never charged a fee from the weak and sick, who were treated, for which they were called by the people unmercenaries.

Rites and traditions of this day

In Russia, Kuzma and Demyan were considered the patrons of poultry, crafts and marriage. That is why there are many weddings on November 14th.

Those who keep poultry should sprinkle the chicken coop with holy water on this day so that the chickens are kept alive and do not get sick. And then slaughter a few birds and cook different dishes. The chicken heart is given to the stunted or youngest member of the family to eat, then he will be strong and healthy all year round.

On the day of autumn kuzminok, after the baby has been bought up, you cannot pour water out into the street - he will cry a lot and sleep restlessly.

If you give alms to the poor on November 14, do not look them in the eyes, otherwise poverty will not escape.

How to pray today for the health of loved ones?

For every person, there is nothing more important than family well-being, happiness and health of loved ones. In order for everything to be good with loved ones, you must daily pray to the Lord God, the Most Holy Theotokos and the Guardian Angels. But November 14 is a special day, since ancient times in Russia it was customary to ask Saints Kuzma and Demyan for peace to their home and health to all family members. You can also carry out several simple ceremonies on the health of your relatives on this day.

So that no one is sick in the family, perform this strong rite. You will need a small piece of black cloth. The oldest member of the family must go to the aspen grove today and find a tree there that has recently withered. A black rag is tied on the east side of the tree and read conspiracy words:

“My dear Mother of God, Saints Kuzma and Demyan, I pray to you for the happiness and health of my family. Let none of my loved ones get sick, let all ailments bypass my family. Let all sores go away from the face and hands, from the abdomen and legs. As this tree dries up, so let the diseases of my relatives disappear. Amen".

After that, you need to turn around and quickly leave. It is very important not to stop or talk to anyone on the way back, do not go through intersections. From this day, throughout the year, you cannot give salt and bread from home, even to the closest neighbors and relatives.

Rite of passage for an apple

Take a large ripe apple, wash it with spring or melt water, and read the conspiracy: “May health and strength come to us. Help us mother nature to fight troubles and ailments. And we promise to always honor all living things and help it grow. " Then divide the apple into as many slices as there are members in the family. Give each of them a bite to eat right away.

Ritual for soap

Take a new bar of soap and read the conspiracy words over it: "As this soap washes our things and the house washes the dirt off, so let him completely wipe away the disease from everyone who lives here and remove it forever." Then use the soap as directed.

Folk omens on November 14

The cat mewed that day - to bad luck.

A warm day on Kuzma and Demyan means that real winter will come only in the last decade of December and will be with little snow, not harsh.

But if by November 14, not all the trees have thrown off the foliage, then the winter must be expected to be fierce, frosty.

People say that all dreams for autumn kuzminki are necessarily prophetic.
