A LITTLE HISTORY:
Once upon a time this day fell on January 1 and was called Vasily's day, and its eve - December 31st became later January 13th - Vasiliev's evening.
According to ancient tradition, in New Year's Eve noted “rich” Vasiliev evening. On this day it was customary to generously set the table. Pork dishes were especially prized because Saint Basil the Great was considered the patron saint of pig farmers.
“A pig and a boletus for Vasily’s evening”, “a pig is not a clean animal, but God has nothing unclean - Vasily will sanctify winter!”, say the proverbs about this day. Remember these folk signs when you set the festive table.
There are also folk signs related to this night.
If the sky is clear and starry- there will be a rich harvest of berries. On January 14, gardeners are advised to shake fruit trees, because Saint Basil the Great, according to popular belief, also protects gardens from worms and pests.
On the morning of January 14 you need to walk through the garden with words ancient conspiracy: “As I shake off (name) the white fluffy snow, so Saint Basil will shake off every worm-reptile in the spring!”
Saint Basil the Great is celebrated on the eighth day of Christmastide, at the very height of Yuletide fortune-telling. “If the red maiden makes a wish for Vasily, everything will come true, but what will come true will not pass!” - people said.
According to popular belief, on Vasil-evening The witches steal the moon from the heavens, but still cannot stop the gradually growing day, shortening the long winter night.
On this day early in the morning it was customary to cook Vasilyev’s porridge and watch how it is prepared. If the porridge comes out of the pan, it will be a disaster for the whole house. It was considered a bad omen if a pot or pan in which porridge was cooked cracked. If the porridge is a success, they eat it clean, but if any of the bad omens come true, they throw it away along with the pot (preferably into an ice hole, if there is one nearby).
On Vasily's Day, children, young boys and girls went from house to house, begging for pork pies, as well as everything else that their hospitable hosts would treat them to. Everything asked for was collected in a basket and eaten after a successful campaign.

- If the bird pecks only a couple of grains, then you need to prepare for the wedding;
- If the rooster refused to peck the grains, then the year as a whole will be unsuccessful.
