Traditionally, on July 8, according to the folk calendar, the holiday of Ivan Kupala is celebrated.
This holiday is best known for the fact that on this day, according to beliefs, one should listen to the wind.
It was believed that gusts of north wind promised clear weather.
If the air blows from the south, a rainy season will begin.
Is it a dry heat outside? The mushroom harvest will most likely be disappointing.
Also on July 8, the following people traditionally celebrate their name days: Peter, Fevronia, Vasily, David, Denis, Euphrosyne, Konstantin, Nikon, Semyon, Fyodor.
It is believed that people with the above names are distinguished from others by their independent and proud character.
These people are always looking for a soulmate who is their equal and never settle for anything less.
Having failed to find a suitable partner, such people do not despair, but prefer to live partially in an imaginary world, which helps them survive disappointment.
