According to the folk calendar - Miron Vetrogon

Orthodox Christians celebrate the day of Myron of Crete on August 21. This holiday has several different names in Rus': Miron-vetrogon, Miron's day, Mironov's day. It is believed that on this day one should expect strong winds that knock down one's feet. They say that the wind is nothing but the breath of the Lord himself. And in the dust raised by strong gusts of wind, evil spirits may lurk. Probably, each of us has at least once seen the characteristic swirls on the road, consisting of dust, debris, fallen leaves and dry twigs - this is how a carminative machine “plays naughty”. According to another, more ancient belief, Stribog was the ruler of the winds on Earth. Perhaps it was from pagan times that the holiday began, which eventually became Orthodox. Bishop Myron of Crete, commemorated on this day, is not just a saint, but a miracle worker. According to a long-standing legend, he once managed with just a wave of his hand to stop and return to its channel a raging river that was demolishing everything in its path. Unfortunately, little information has been preserved about the life of Myron of Crete. What is known is that during his lifetime he was a compassionate, kind and helpful person. One of the legends mentions an incident from the life of the saint: one day thieves broke into his barn and wanted to take away all the grain reserves with them. At that moment the bishop caught them, however, he did not punish them, but allowed them to take all the bread with them. The thieves were so amazed by the noble deed of the clergyman that they left everything they stole without taking a single grain with them. On this day in Rus', it was customary to pick blackberries and then make aromatic jam from them. In addition, on the feast of Myron of Crete, one was supposed to pray fervently and ask the saint to calm the winds. It was also customary to show generosity even to one’s worst enemies and forgive others all insults, cleansing one’s soul of malice and hatred. In the evening, the girls told fortunes - to do this they had to go to the crossroads and make their cherished wish. If at the same moment a strong gust of wind hit your face, it means that your wish was destined to come true. Otherwise, we had to wait at least another year.
