НАРОДНЕ СВЯТО 8 липня 2026 ПРОКІП'Я І Що не можна робити. Місячний календар, прикмети погоди

On July 8 (Wednesday), the Orthodox Church of Ukraine commemorates the Great Martyr Procopius of Caesarea, and also celebrates the finding of the icon of the Mother of God Hodegetria (Vlachernae-Kazan). This day is popularly called Prokipia. Our ancestors considered it the first thunder holiday, so they followed important safety rules to protect the household from lightning, hail and fire. From this video you will learn: The history of the life and feat of Saint Procopius and the miracle of the Kazan Icon. Why on Procopius "the cops wake up" and how they began the harvest with sickles. Folk weather signs: what bees, sparrows, a cat and the behavior of river water predict. Why you can't work outdoors, wash clothes and swim. Traditions of the old (waning) moon: spells, spells from the evil eye and meetings with a viper. Lean menu for Wednesday: a recipe for summer salad with eggplant without heat treatment. Who celebrates their name day on July 8 and congratulations for Alexander and Fedor. All information in the video is authentic, collected from classic Ukrainian ethnographic sources, scientific works and old books. 0:00 — Introduction: what holiday is July 8, 2026 0:25 — Folk weather signs for Prokipya 1:50 — Why today is a thunderous holiday and the main prohibitions 3:39 — The story of the great martyr Procopius of Caesarea 5:16 — Finding the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God: what it helps with 6:25 — Regional harvest traditions in Ukraine (Bukovyna, Hutsul region, Kyiv region) 10:46 — The legend of Procopius and protection from the storm 11:38 — How the harvest used to begin: women's days and the first sheaf (Didukh) 13:05 — Why you can't bathe and wash on July 8 13:15 — Protection from snakes: a folk spell 14:01 — The influence of the old (waning) moon on life and economy 16:02 — Authentic spell from evil eye 17:03 — Rules of fasting on Wednesday and a recipe for eggplant salad 18:32 — Who celebrates their name day on July 8: congratulations to Alexander and Fedor 19:22 — Results of the day: what work is allowed at home #whatholidaytoday #July8 #folksigns #thunderholiday #ukrainiantraditions What holiday is today and what you can't do in Telegram: https://t.me/boost/narodnitraditsii
