On April 28, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of the apostle from the seventy, Pud. In the folk calendar of Tatarstan, this day is nicknamed Pud Day.

What can be done on April 28: traditions for wealth and health
To ensure that spring brings sweetness and well-being to the home, the residents of our region observed old rituals:
- Inspecting apiaries. Even if you are not a beekeeper, it is beneficial to eat at least a spoonful of honey today. In Yelabuga, it was believed that honey on Pud has special power — it strengthens the spirit and attracts money.
- Brewing tea from rowan or birch buds. It was believed that such drinks cleanse the blood and help get rid of spring fatigue on this day.
- Making peace and forgiving debts. Apostle Pud is the patron of sincerity. If you forgive a small grievance or help someone in need, good will return to you threefold.
- Working outdoors. Any physical labor today brings joy and does not tire, as nature gives a person extra energy.
What cannot be done on April 28: main prohibitions
On Pud Day 2026, people tried to be cautious in everyday life to avoid scaring away good fortune:
- Do not work late. It was believed that those who work on Pud after sunset "bury" their health in the ground. It is better to spend the evening with family.
- It is forbidden to harm bees and insects. Any harm done to "God's workers" promised beekeepers a poor harvest, and others financial difficulties.
- It is not recommended to share future plans. It was believed that if you talk about your dreams on April 28, they might "fly away" with the spring wind and not come true.
- Do not refuse to help loved ones. Selfishness on this day can lead to the loss of an important patron.
