onions – from all ailments

May 5 in the folk calendar is Luke’s Day. On this day, it is customary to plant onions.

Types of onions today number in the dozens. Previously, onions were mainly grown in Rus’. And today it is the most common garden crop in all its varieties. Although some gardeners grow leeks, chives, shallots, and other species.

Onion was so popular both in cooking and in medicine that there is more than one holiday in his honor. The current day of Luke, although named after the saint, is also one of the holidays in honor of the bow – the universal breadwinner and healer. On this day, it was necessary to eat at least a little onion so that health was strong.

It was also believed that onion along with garlic (which, by the way, also belongs to the genus onion) helps protect against evil spirits. Therefore, bundles of onions were hung in houses or simply laid out bulbs.

According to popular belief, seeing a flock of birds today – fortunately, finding money – is a big profit. And in order not to attract problems and troubles into your life, you should not stand on the doorstep for a long time and spend the day alone.

Folk signs on May 5 are as follows:

– if the sky on the western side is clear by evening, there will be no rain tomorrow;

– if the sky is covered with “lambs” of clouds, it will soon begin to rain;

– if there were frosts at night – they are not the last this May;

– if the day is warm – until the end of spring the weather will be good.

Dreams that you have on the night of May 6 may indicate your true purpose or calling.
