Today, on August 14, the Russians celebrate Savior of the Honey Feast Day. There is a tradition to bring honey to the church for blessing on this day. Papas bring the Cross out for the worship and bless honey and other food. After that honey becomes even more salutary.
Honey is one of the tastiest and most healthful products. It contains a huge number of minor nutrients, which are the best for a human organism and necessary for its vital functions. Honey has also an anti-inflammatory effect, and it is very popular in folk medicine.
Many hotels of Moscow, Saint Petersburg and other cities offer various honey dishes and drinks today. The most popular dish this day is pancakes with honey and nuts.
From today the Assumption fast also begins. It will last two weeks and finish with the Dormition of the Theotocos Feast Day, on August 28.
