🍯 WHAT IS IT, EVEN?
Apple Spas (officially — Transfiguration of the Lord) is celebrated on August 19.
This is not only a Christian holiday, but also a folk symbol of the transition from summer to autumn.
Before this day, it seemed like you couldn't eat apples — well, if you believe the old beliefs. But after the Spas — you can and should, and even with honey. 🍯
On this day, apples and other fruits of the new harvest are blessed in church.
And people say:
"The Savior has come - keep your gloves in reserve" - autumn is already breathing down your neck!
🥧 WHAT TO DO ON THIS DAY, BESIDES EATING APPLES?
Bake a charlotte, of course! Or a pie, or just bake apples with honey and cinnamon.
The main thing is with love and aroma, so that the neighbors understand that you turned on the oven for a reason. Give an apple with a kind word. Just like that. Without a reason. It's almost like mini-magic.
Say "thank you" to life. For the harvest, for the sun, for all the good things that happened this summer.
Get nostalgic. Who was there in your garden dropping apples on your head? 😉
Plan for autumn. A new blanket? Pumpkin soup? Plans for love? Why not. 🤭 BUT TO BE HONEST...
...sometimes you want not just an apple, but that very taste from childhood:
where the juice is up to your chin, where you are barefoot in the grass,
and where grandma grumbles:
"Granddaughter, don't eat the green ones! There hasn't been a Spas yet!" 😄Apple Spas is a reason to slow down, breathe in the aroma of August and tell yourself:
"Everything will be delicious. Everything will be right. Everything will be for love."
Keep warm and share kindness - like a juicy apple 🍎
