Seasons
Seasons, four periods of the year (spring, summer, autumn and winter) characterized by certain average temperatures. The period during which the Sun passes through one of these sectors is called the season. Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere begin when the Sun passes through the initial circle of declination and its right ascension is 0° (vernal equinox). Summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere occur when the sun's right ascension is 90° (summer solstice). Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere begin when the sun's right ascension is 180° (autumnal equinox). The beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere is considered to be the winter solstice, when the direct ascension of the Sun is 270°... Next: Seasons.

Rostov the Great.
Rostov the Great is the living soul of the Yaroslavl Land!
Not far from Lake Nero is the famous white stone Rostov Kremlin . This ancient Russian princely fortress is surrounded by powerful walls with towers. Historically, this was the Bishop's Court - the residence of the Rostov metropolitans and bishops. Metropolitan Jonah Sysoevich was especially famous.
Under him, the Assumption Cathedral was renovated and a magnificent belfry of 13 bells was built. The largest of them was named “Sysoy”.
Rostov the Great is the most famous center of bell ringing! Tourists often hear the music of church bells!
The churches of the Rostov Kremlin impress with their frescoes. The fresco paintings of the churches “John the Evangelist”, “Resurrection” and “Savior in the Entrance” have no analogues in the world.
The Rostov Kremlin wins the hearts of its guests with the Museum of Church Antiquities and Enamel. Scenes for the famous film “Ivan Vasilyevich Changes His Profession” were filmed in the ancient Rostov Kremlin.
Rostov the Great surprises tourists: the Spaso-Yakovlevsky and Abrahamtsevo monasteries, the fabulous Lake Nero, the Nativity Convent, the Church of Isidore the Blessed on the Ramparts.
Varnitsky Holy Trinity Sergius Monastery (15th century) - the birthplace of Sergius of Radonezh. In the 20-30s of the 20th century, the monastery was practically wiped off the face of the earth. At the end of the 20th century, with the return of it to the Russian Orthodox Church, it was rebuilt, restored and is now more beautiful than it was before.
Leaving Rostov the Great and its famous Kremlin, this pearl of Russian art, visitors take with them a feeling of admiration for the talent of the remarkable craftsmen from among the people and gratitude to the city residents for the loving preservation of priceless monuments of history and material culture.
Folk calendar about every day
Every day one season always replaces another and this determines a person’s way of life. In connection with this, a folk calendar was formed in which there were practically no nameless, unmarked days. Every day was special, had its own purpose. All this was determined by climate conditions and astrological phenomena.
A calendar is a system for counting periods of time. The first calendars arose a long time ago, in ancient times, because there was a need to measure time. The word calendar comes from the Latin words caleo - to proclaim and calendarium - debt book. This is due to the fact that in Ancient Rome the beginning of each month was especially proclaimed, and because it was customary to pay debts on the first day of the month. Different peoples counted time differently. Some calendars are based on the changing phases of the moon - lunar calendars; in others - the change of seasons - sunny; in others, the length of the year was coordinated with the change of seasons, and the counting of months was associated with the phases of the Moon. Such calendars are called lunisolar.
In Rus', the calendar was called a monthly calendar. Every day, the month book covered the entire year of peasant life, “describing” day by day, month after month, where each day had its own holidays or weekdays, customs and superstitions, traditions and rituals, natural signs and phenomena. The cyclical nature of the calendar is reminiscent of human life, where spring is youth, summer is heyday, autumn is the time of harvesting fruits (it’s good if there are some, otherwise you can live your life without collecting fruits), winter is the time of wisdom and peace. This cyclicality and rhythm determined the way of life of the farmer. The folk calendar was an agricultural calendar, which was reflected in the names of the months, folk signs, rituals and customs. Even the determination of the timing and duration of the seasons is associated with real climatic conditions. Hence the discrepancy between the names of the months in different areas... Next: Folk calendar...
About the climate
The climate in the region is moderate, with clearly defined features characteristic of each season. The beginning of autumn is especially attractive. As a rule, until mid-October there are dry and warm days, which are replaced by prolonged drizzling rains.
There are no severe frosts in the region in winter, as well as severe heat in the summer. This is due to the high humidity of the climate, because the level of evaporation here is not very low, since the area of the Yaroslavl region is literally covered with various bodies of water.
As for temperature indicators, in July the thermometer stays at +18 degrees Celsius, and in January it rarely drops below -12.
Fishing calendar for every day
The fishing calendar should not be taken as an absolutely indisputable truth. Fish biting is greatly influenced by a whole range of natural factors, as well as the influence on the nature of man himself. You must not forget that the fish’s bite depends and is determined not only by the calendar dates and biological cycles of their life, reflected in the calendar, but also, no less, by the state of their habitat; the bite also depends on weather conditions: air and water temperatures, cloudiness, wind direction and strength, etc...

Orthodox calendar about every day
Orthodox calendar: Orthodox, Church and Christian holidays.
The church year is an alternation of weekdays and holidays. On weekdays, a person is called to work “by the sweat of his brow to earn his bread.” Holidays are given in order to feel liberation, to rise above the bustle and routine of the world, to feel involved in the highest of worlds, “where there are no illnesses, sorrows and sighs, but endless life.” Since ancient times, holiday cycles have been associated with the seasons. The pagans associated them with the worship of the forces of nature, the cult of which in the Old Testament was replaced by gratitude to the Creator for the universe. And although the connection between holidays and the seasons has not completely lost its power, since God is present in everything, in the plant and animal world, in human works, it nevertheless faded into the background, giving way to a spiritual foundation built on the Sacred Scriptures. The history of Orthodox holidays dates back to the times of the Old Testament. Each of the Orthodox holidays is dedicated to the remembrance of the most important events in the life of Jesus Christ and the Mother of God, as well as the memory of saints...

Russian folk calendar for every day
The word “sign” comes from the word “notice”, i.e. observe. As a result of observing what happens around a person every day, he accumulates life experience. This knowledge was passed down from generation to generation, carefully preserved and people trusted it as a sacred book. Many signs have come to us from the depths of centuries without losing their knowledge. Each of us is free to choose: to dismiss all this as an absurd superstition or to take a closer look at the signs and take the centuries-old experience of generations more seriously. Most of us, when taking exams, ask them to scold them, boasting about some kind of good fortune or luck, spit so as not to jinx them or knock on wood, take a detour if a black cat crossed the road, are afraid of the number 13 and much more. And who among us does not have lucky things, numbers? Who has never resorted to the help of fate at least once in their life, who has not believed in secrets? It’s as if everything connected with signs is hidden somewhere deep in our subconscious. Often we remember them mechanically, unconsciously, or just as a joke. But, undoubtedly, the signs contain a lot of accurate knowledge and practical wisdom of our ancestors. They cover all the characteristic, often difficult to perceive, natural phenomena. Signs have preserved a lot of what was in old folk holidays and customs; they help predict the weather, grow crops... Next: Folk signs...
Cities of the Yaroslavl region
Yaroslavl. Population 600 thousand people, regional center. Located along the banks of the Volga, it has a 1000-year history; The city center is beautiful, you can admire the Kremlin, many buildings from the 17th-18th-19th centuries have been preserved. It is located mainly on the right bank of the Volga, connected to the left bank areas by 2 bridges. The M8 federal highway passes along one, capturing part of the city.
Rybinsk. Population 200 thousand people. Located on the Volga, within the city boundaries there is the Rybinsk waterworks, the locks and the dam of the Rybinsk Reservoir.

Excellent hunting in the city area, fishing in the reservoir.
Pereslavl-Zalessky, Rostov, Uglich, Tutaev . Population from 42 to 32 thousand people. All cities with a rich history, all once had much greater importance than now, all have many architectural monuments from different centuries (we especially note Rostov and Uglich in this regard). At the same time, any manufacturing industry is almost completely absent; cities exist on subsidies from the regional budget. The tourism industry could be a great help, but alas, they don’t know how to properly preserve and present historical monuments in Rus'... There was once a Golden Ring, and these cities were part of it, but where is it now...
Gavrilov-Yam, Danilov. Population from 17 to 15 thousand people. In principle, the above can be transferred here, only the pipes are lower and the smoke is thinner. In Gavrilov-Yama there is a flax mill that produces wonderful fabrics, and Danilov is a large railway and highway junction. Actually, that's all.

Prayer book, Orthodox prayers for every day
Prayer is the most powerful means for healing all illnesses - both physical and mental. Prayers can be laudatory or grateful, petitionary and repentant. If we have offended God, sinned, we must ask Him for forgiveness, that is, repent. Such prayers are called repentant prayers. If everything is fine with us, if we and our loved ones are healthy and prosperous, if we have a place to live, something to wear, something to eat, we must glorify and thank God for this. Such prayers are called praise or thanksgiving. If some misfortune, illness, trouble or need happens, you need to ask God for help. Such prayers are called petitionary... Next: Orthodox prayers...
From the history of the region
According to historians and archaeologists, the area of the Yaroslavl region was inhabited during the Late Paleolithic period. This means that sites of ancient people appeared on the territory of the region immediately after the retreat of the glaciers. Those who lived in these lands during the Neolithic were mainly engaged in fishing and hunting. Scientists find tribal sites dating back to this historical period along river banks. In the Bronze Age, tribes of people who were forced out of Transnistria invaded the lands of the region. They brought with them new occupations - cattle breeding and agriculture.
The first city to appear in these lands was not Yaroslavl at all. According to chronicle sources, Rostov arose earlier than all other urban-type settlements in the region (now it is the regional center of the Yaroslavl region). This happened no later than 862. The Principality of Rostov was formed around the city. This ancient Russian city still stands today on the shores of Lake Nero, attracting tourists with its special ancient Slavic flavor. Yaroslavl, the administrative, economic and cultural center of the region, appeared much later. The city was founded by Prince Yaroslav the Wise in 1010. Initially, Yaroslavl was part of the Rostov principality, but very quickly became the center of its own. The Principality of Yaroslavl existed until the Time of Troubles.
In the XIV-XV centuries, the territory of the region was absorbed by the Moscow Principality. All local cities lost their independence and joined the Grand Duchy with its center in Moscow. In 1719, the territory of the region was divided between two large administrative centers - St. Petersburg and Moscow.
After the revolutionary events and the Civil War in 1929, the lands of the region became part of the industrial region with its center in Ivanovo. But already in 1936, on March 11, the region regained its independence. It included almost all the territories that were in the pre-revolutionary province.
Zodiac, astrological, eastern calendar. Zodiac signs
In ancient times, to establish the calendar, priests used knowledge of the positions of all the planets. Before the reform of Peter 1, the New Year was celebrated on the Day of the Autumn Equinox. On this day, according to ancient legend, the most peaceful treaty was concluded between the Great Race (ancient Slavs) and the Great Dragon (ancient Chinese) and it was approximately 7518 years ago... For the ancient Slavs, the calendar month corresponded to the lunar cycle from new moon to new moon, taking into account such Thus, the relationship of the entire annual cycle with astronomical and natural phenomena. There was no coherent calendar system. The main natural phenomena are still considered to this day to be the days of the solar equinox and solstice - the Slavic holidays Maslenitsa, Kupala, Ovsen and Kolyada. But during the time of Peter 1, all ancient Slavic calendars were abolished and a new Western European calendar from the Nativity of Christ (Julian calendar) was introduced, while the beginning of the calendar was moved to January 1. The Julian calendar (old style) did not take leap days into account and accumulated one extra day every 128 years. After the October Revolution in 1918, the Gregorian calendar (new style) was introduced in Russia, according to which an amendment of 13 days was introduced. The calendar of the ancient Slavs was based on two planets: the Sun and the Moon. And now they don’t use anything at all. The calendar has become static. There is no such thing as the calendar, it turns out, resting on some planet. Nobody even knows about it. There are just some standard numbers, there are months and holidays. The calendar is based on the Sun and Moon. Why is this so? Because these two luminaries influence the Earth. The Earth revolves around the Sun, and the Moon revolves around the Earth. And these two luminaries create the atmosphere on the planet. From here the calendar is built... Next: Astrological calendar...
