Folk signs on September 13. Video: customs and traditions of Kupriyan’s Day
September 13 Orthodox Church honors the memory of the Hieromartyr Cyprian (200-258), Bishop of Carthage, famous as a famous theologian and Father of the Church. He grew up in a pagan environment and was a successful lawyer. The circumstances of his conversion to the Christian faith are unknown. Two years after his baptism, he was installed as a bishop and almost immediately found himself in the context of the persecution of Christians launched by Emperor Decius.
Under pain of torture and execution, many believers, including some bishops, renounced their faith, and after the end of the persecution they returned to the Church. Cyprian insisted that only a bishop or a presbyter appointed by him can give absolution, and the question of accepting a fallen bishop into the Church is decided by a council of his former brothers. Any sacraments performed by the bishop before their adoption by the council are considered invalid.
Cyprian's reasoning led to a conflict that broke out between him and Pope Stephen. The disputes could have escalated into serious disagreements, but Stephen was soon arrested and executed. A few years later, Cyprian himself was arrested and sent into exile. In 258 he was executed.
In our country, they said in Cyprian that the cranes are preparing before departure a meeting is held in the swamp: they agree on which route to fly to warmer climes. In some villages, from this day they began to dig up potatoes and pull root crops (except turnips). It is known that potatoes appeared in Russia and Ukraine only in the 18th century, but rather quickly became one of the important agricultural crops, competing in their own way with bread. People used to say: Potatoes help bread.
From this day on, they began to collect cranberries. People believed: To pick cranberries ahead of time is to please evil spirits. It was believed that if a girl picked cranberries before September 13, she would be infertile. The guy who picked unripe berries may lose his mind in the future.
Cranberries usually grow in marshy areas. Collecting it is hard physical work. People have to walk along the bolt for many hours, swatting away mosquitoes and horse flies, and then squatting to pick one berry at a time.
Cranberries are used in medicinal purposes at various diseases(colds, inflammation genitourinary system, hypertension, diseases gastrointestinal tract). Juice, fruit drinks, tea and jam are made from the berries, and face masks are prepared.

From thoughts for every day, collected by Leo Tolstoy
Godliness always begins with modesty. You must first feel that you are very insignificant, and therefore you better do what you are told, then think about what you are told and who tells you, and you will always find that you always have a clear understanding of what good and bad, which you can always follow at will. (John Ruskin)
Popular name: Cyprian, Kuprian, Kupriyan, Kupriyan's day, Cyprian's day.

In the church on September 13, the memory of Saint Cuprian of Carthage, who lived in the 3rd century and was known as the Bishop of Carthage, is venerated. He was a skilled theologian, and most dedicated his writings to the issues of apostasy and the reasons that cause it. In addition, it is Kupriyan who is considered the creator of the canonical doctrine of the unity of the church.
It is noteworthy that Kupriyan was born and raised in a pagan environment and in his young years did not even think about devoting himself to God. On the contrary, at that time he had nothing to do with the church - he worked as a lawyer. However, at some point, Kupriyan realized his destiny, came to faith and after some time became a bishop. During the persecution of Christians, Kupriyan did not renounce his faith, for which he was executed. It is Kupriyan who is considered the first African martyr bishop.
