Traditions and omens for the Snake holiday

The people believed that on June 12 it is very dangerous to walk through thickets, and even more so to kill snakes, because the animals are extremely aggressive. It was customary to plant beans on this day.

In Russia, they believed that Mary’s root could drive away snakes, so they carried it with them. Also, creepers were scared away with sprigs of rue and emerald.
