Commemoration Day of Saint Anthony of the Caves
According to the new (New Julian) calendar, adopted by the OCU and UGCC, July 10 honors the founder of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra and the father of all Eastern Slavic monasticism - Saint Anthony (11th century). This is a great holiday for Kyiv and all of Ukraine, symbolizing the spiritual roots of the nation.
For those who follow the old (Julian) calendar: they commemorate Saint Samson the Hospitable.
In folk tradition, this day was called 'Samson the Hay-Rotter.' It was believed that if it rained today, it would last a long time and the hay in the stacks could rot, so peasants tried to finish haymaking as quickly as possible.
