From thoughts for every day, collected by Leo Tolstoy

Each word has only the meaning in which the listener can perceive it. You will not understand the meaning of honor to a dishonorable person or love to one who is a stranger to it. Trying to reduce the meaning of these words to their understanding, you will only come to the point that you will have no more words to express both honor and love. (John Ruskin)

Ap. Thomas.

October 19 - Thomas. Foma - big chrome

Saint Thomas was a Galilean fisherman who followed the Lord Jesus Christ and became His disciple and one of the 12 apostles. According to the testimony Holy Scripture, the Apostle Thomas did not believe the stories of other disciples about the Resurrection of the Lord. On the eighth day after the Resurrection, Jesus appeared to him and showed His wounds; after that convinced of the truth Christ's Resurrection the apostle exclaimed: "My Lord and my God!" According to church tradition, Saint Thomas preached the Gospel in Palestine, Mesopotamia, Parthia, Ethiopia, and East India. For the conversion to Christ of the son, wife and sister of the ruler of the Indian city of Malipur, the holy apostle was imprisoned, endured torture, and finally, pierced with five spears, he departed to the Lord.

Foma the bread-maker: aching bins - take everything for nothing!

Thomas is a big chrome.

Among the people, the Apostle Thomas, who doubted the Resurrection of Christ, became a prototype of an incredulous person prone to doubts. "Unbelieving Thomas" - they say about such people.

In Russian folklore, Foma turned out to be firmly connected with Yerema.

They talk about Yerema, and he talks about Foma.

Foma was beaten for Yeremin's guilt.

They searched for Yerema, found Foma.

Proverbs, fairy tales and humorous songs, folk stories and popular prints are dedicated to this inseparable pair of comic characters, sometimes bad brothers, sometimes "accomplices" who do stupid and ridiculous things. The vast majority of these works are built on a play on one technique: the syntactic parallelism of paired sentences and lexical synonymy, and their special charm is that words that really mean the same or almost the same thing act as synonyms, and those words which actually mean completely different things. For example, in the phrase "Foma crushes the radish, and Yerema crushes the garlic," radish and garlic become synonymous, since both vegetables mean meager food. The works about Foma and Yerema amaze with a great sense of humor, the boundless imagination of nameless authors who manage to subtly and “tasty” play on the similarity of different and the difference of similar.

Here is one version of the joke song:

Foma da Yerema,

Yerema da Foma

two brothers

Prokuratenki.

They have beards like harrows

Mustaches are like whips.

Our beards were gathering

To trade.

Yerema took a half

And Foma and a half,

Yerema bought a horse,

And Thomas is a stallion.

Eremina is not going

Fomina is unlucky<...>.

- We will become better, Yerema,

Break the cage with you!

Here Yerema climbed into the cage,

And Foma in the barn,

Yerema grabbed a fur coat,

And Thomas is caftan.

Yerema was captured

And Foma was robbed.

Like Yerem in the neck,

And Foma is in jolts.

Yerema ran away

Thomas escaped.

Here Yerema is running -

Won't look back

And Thomas hurries after him -

Will not part.

- Failure to us, Yerema,

Breaking cages with you.

We will become better, Yerema,

Pray to God with you!

Here Yerema goes to church,

And Thomas to the altar,

Yerema grabbed the robes,

And Thomas is a surplice,

Yerema took the censer,

And Thomas a candle.

Yerema is censing,

Thomas bows.

How pulled on them

Yes, a dashing sexton.

Here is Yerema in the snout,

And Foma on the nostrils.

Yerema fled,

Thomas escaped.

- Failure to us, Yerema,

Pray to God with you

We will become better, Yerema,

Fish with you!

Yerema bought a net,

And Foma is a delusional.

Here is Yerema for a pike,

And Foma for a catfish.

Here Yerema drowned

And Foma pulled.

Here Yerema sat on the bottom,

And Thomas is with him at the same time.

Here Yerema was buried,

And Thomas was buried -

They won't come out of the ground.

Apostle of 12 Thomas (I).

Signs and customs

October in Russian villages was one of the most satisfying months of the year. By this month, all the main work in the field was being completed, the harvest was being harvested, and the feed for the cattle had already been prepared. From here came the sayings: “Thomas is a big bag”, “Thomas is a big feed” and “The breadmaker is breaking the bins - take everything for nothing.” Therefore, on October 19, it was supposed to fill the barrels with already cleaned grain.

Susek in the villages was called a place in the barn specially fenced off for storing grain. The owner of the house himself took care of the grain with his eldest, not yet married, son. After that, the father allocated to him a part of the bin, from where the adult son could take grain on his own. But before work, it was necessary to pray to the Apostle Thomas. It was believed that it would help preserve the grain and properly distribute it throughout the long winter.

On October 19, the housewives for the first time taught their daughters, who were already seven years old, weaving skills.

On this day, the locks were changed, new icons and lamps were placed in the shops.
