a popular annual event among the inhabitants of America. And today is the Day

environmental hazards. This holiday, unlike Earth Hour,

On April 22, the Orthodox Church commemorates the memory of St. Vadim,
who lived in the fourth century in Persia and was
archimandrite. By приказу правителя его вместе с учениками бросили
to the dungeon, where for several months the martyrs were tortured.
Tradition says that the resilience of the saints struck many pagans before
to the extent that those after the death of the blameless turned into
Christianity. In Russia, Vadim was called the Klyuchnik, because in this
day it was customary for peasants to go to the keys (sources) and clean

vernal. Byсле обрядных слов из родников умывались целительной

they watched about the life and death of seriously ill people. Guessing the name
sick, watched the behavior of water: if it remains clean –
the person will recover, if the source zaburlit – should wait
the worst. Spring water also drank cattle and sprinkled
land.
