Vasilek in myths and legends

Vasilek came to us from deep antiquity. During the excavations of the tombs of Tutankhamon, many items were found from precious stones and gold, but no less awesome was the fact that along with all these treasures archaeologists found a small wreath of Vasilkov in the tomb of Pharaoh. Flowers dried, however, retained color and shape.

According to Greek mythology, Vasilek was opened by Kentaur Chiron, which the Vasilka juice heal his wounds applied by Hercules.

But the ancient Roman legend claims that this flower got its name "Cyanus" named the beautiful young man who was so passionate about the beauty of Vasilka, which all his time devoted to weaving garland wreaths from him. The young man did not leave the fields until they had at least one corn. And he always dressed in a blue dress only. Subsequently, the young man was found dead on the breadfield with an overwhelmed cornflowers. Then Flora (Roman goddess of flowering), who was his beloved goddess, for such a constancy and in a special location for him, turned the body of a young man in the cornflower, and all the cornflowers have since become called cyanus.

The Slavic name of this flower, according to belief, has happened on behalf of the young guy Vasily, the only son has a mother, the defeated and destroyed mermaid. Forest in love with a mermaid in the young pahahar Vasily. Every day she looked inconsidered, hiding behind the reeds, from the very morning I had no idea about him. And once, when Vasil, graduating from work, went to the river to wash, could not stand the mermaid and appeared in front of him in all his glory. They fell in love with each other. In all, they had complete consent, just could not agree, where they best live together. Mermaid called Vasily in her native aquatic element, and he offered to settle from Pashnya. For a long time they argued, but they could not find consent. Realizing that the disappointing Vasil would never submit to persuasion, the mermaid decided to last extreme: she turned it into a modest blue flower. More than once, looking like raindrops, it was going to merge into the river, she hoped that both blue flower - Vasil - in the end he would come to her house, but her expectations were not justified - Vasilek tightly keeps roots for his native arable land.

About it beautiful flower There is another beautiful and lyrical Russian legend.

Once the sky was said to Niva: "Everything that Land inhales, thanks me. Birds send me singing, flowers - fragrance and color, forest - noise oak, and only you do not express your appreciation, although no one, namely, I fill the roots of your cereals with rainwater and forcing the risen of the ears. "

Niva began to object to the reproach of the sky, that she also grateful to him: "I decorate a lot of eternally worried greenery, and in the fall covering it with gold. And I, of course, I would like to climb to you and squeeze your caresses and words of love, but you know - I can't. "

And he decided the sky that if Niva could not climb him, then he, so to be, will come down to her.

And as soon as the sky said these words, the miracle immediately happened - among the sections grew gorgeous blue flowerssimilar to color with a sultry sky. Since then ear bread Zlakov With each blowing wind, the winds are inclined towards the messengers of the sky - cornflowers and whisper of delicate words them.

This legend explains the fact that Vasilek has always been a permanent satellite of an rye field. True, now, fighting weeds, they are smeared, while modern science It has been proven: if a hundred seeds add one seed of Vasilka - Rye will grow better.

The first was noted when earlings appeared on the Niva. During this holiday, young girls and guys gathered on the outskirts of the village, got into two rows against each other, were taken by arms, and in the hands, as in the bridge, the girl was crushed and ribbons. The pairs passed from the last rows in the first until the girl came to the Nive. In Niva, she went to the ground, disappeared a few ears and fled to them into the village, where her parents were waiting for her.

The second holiday - the "Name Sheaf" was held at the end of summer, before harvesting breads. Women hostess came out with bread and salt to heazy Niva. The first sheaf knitted, decorated it with cornflowers and put in the red corner of the house. The first sheaf and wore the name of the birthday room.
