The Russian Orthodox Church celebrates on this day a great holiday - the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos and the Virgin Mary. Its traditions are very ancient, the first mention dates back to 910. The name of the holiday comes from the word cover - that is, a cover. The biblical story says that on October 14, according to a new style, two praying people at the same time - the holy fool and Epiphanius saw how the Mother of God soaring in the air spread her wide white veil over them. There was a period of war between the Byzantine Empire and the Saracens. The Virgin Mary floated through the air, was surrounded by heavenly angels and shone. She was accompanied by Saint John the Baptist and the Apostle John the Theologian. A large number of people attended the all-night vigil. The Mother of God began to pray for people and protect with a veil from enemies visible and invisible. The cover itself shone like the sun's rays. Grace descended upon the people in the temple, and, disappearing with the veil, the Virgin left grace to the people. The Greeks defeated the Saracens, and the church preserved the memory of the appearance of the Virgin. In accordance with popular beliefs, snow is considered on this day - the more snow, the more weddings. Girls on this day pray that God sent them married.
This holiday was established in the country in 1999; every year it is celebrated on the second Sunday of October. This is the day of those engaged in agricultural work, who from dawn to dawn work on the land, growing bread and vegetables, providing the country with food products - milk, meat, etc. V.

The village is becoming a labor market on a par with industry, as an equal sector of the Russian economy. It was also noted that this sector has great potential in the country, as almost a third of the population is working on half of the world's black soil reserves.
