Christianity, coming to Russia, found there pagans. People performed numerous rituals, sacrificed for the glory of their gods.
Ilya the Prophet, as is known, became a character of popular beliefs that came from the past. Thus, it is commonly believed that he commands thunder and lightning, like the pagan deity Perun , whose festival probably occurred at the beginning of August and was associated in the popular consciousness with a Christian holiday in honor of Elijah the Prophet.
There are numerous signs on Ilyin's Day, including money, although they are mostly related to natural phenomena.
For example:- Ilya the Prophet spent two hours dragging. That is, the day was two hours shorter.

- Ilya can not swim. It becomes colder.
The rainy weather on the day of Ilya was considered a money, a profit and a good harvest. Moreover, the stronger the rain, the more favorable the soil for enrichment.
