Братья Месяцы 6 февраля Аксинья полузимница , полухлебница

简介：

On February 6, Ksenia (Aksinya), a half‑winter, half‑hunger woman, lived with her poor peasant family who had to keep strict records of their bread, half of which had already been eaten, and the rest stretched until the next harvest. Though she split the winter in half, her husband found spring even harder. If the cold lasts longer than usual and summer turns rotten and rainy, will there be enough bread? If the new crop fails, how could it be bought or sold? Peasant observations suggested that if the road to Aksinya is moved, the feed will be swept away, meaning the winter would be delayed and the livestock affected. As the saying goes, "As Aksinya is, so is the spring," implying that if the weather is good for Aksinya, the spring will be bright. Listen to the continuation in the recording.
