In connection with this, many rites and prohibitions were formed. In the old New Year the most popular was the generous. On the night of Vasiliev, the owner had to feed the guests with pies, meat or any dish made from pork. Vasily was considered the patron saint of pig products and pigs. There was a belief that if there were meat dishes on the table, then the animals would multiply, and the owners would have plenty and abundance, which they sang about in the generics.

Generous evening, oh, good evening. Ilya walks on Vasily, Carries a pile of dwelling Where will wave - rye grows, Peoples God rye, wheat and every pashnitsa. In the field the core, In the house is good. In the field of spikelets, And in the house - a patty. Hello, Happy New Year, with Vasily!

Vasilieva's mother Went to cheer, Cut the wheat on the field. Father, God, wheat, Barley, buckwheat.

According to the Christian calendar, January 13 is the feast of the Monk Melania.
