And then the Prince began to think about the truth of his faith. Vladimir took care of the power of the state, and made military campaigns. He added other lands, wanted to make something new and held the Gentile reform, combining the pagan gods established themselves on the Pantheon. This was his first step in the search for truth.

During the fierce persecution of Christians, she left her house and property, along with a three year old son and two slaves went to another city, where he was to wander as a beggar. But once she found out, took the ruler and began to demand the renunciation of faith. But Julitta to hear it didn't. Then it began to beat with whips and took the son.

In conclusion, the research question of how celebration July 28 on the Church calendar, it should be noted that women loved to celebrate the day of mother Greenshanks most. They called this Saint his protector. They were supposed to better rest. It was believed that this day is better in the field not to go, as there is at this time walking is evil. The people went to the rumor that the one who will reap at this time, can see a bad omen that might come true. This is logically explained by the fact that this day is often raining, so at this time in the garden nothing.

Chirico - always macrogyria. So said the peasants. But at home there was always plenty of work for everyone. Children also very early taught to work. And they became a reliable support for their mothers, St. Kirik for Ility.

The Orthodox Church calendar in July, contains such wonderful dates that we can only pray to our saints to help us in our trials sent us by God.
