Day of Naum. Naum Literate. Day of the prophet Nahum. Naumov day. Literate. “Nahum – from the word mind.” “Father Naum, point to the mind” (teach). “Prophet Nahum brings to mind.”
It is believed that the prophet Nahum promotes mental and mechanical pursuits. In the old days, from the day of Naum (from December 1, according to the old style), they began to teach children to read and write (the ability to read and write). On this occasion, they agreed with the teacher, served a prayer service, asked for a blessing on the lad. Teachers were invited to the house with honor. The father handed over his son to the teacher with a request to teach him the mind and treat him with beatings for laziness. The mother must cry, otherwise “bad rumors will go.” The son gave three prostrations to the teacher, and the teaching began. They said: “During the study you can’t eat, otherwise you will eat what you have learned”, “Close the book, otherwise you will forget everything.” The training began like this: a church minister, a deacon, came to the house, brought with him a primer and a whip. The teaching began with three weighty lashes, so that the youth could appreciate the seriousness and usefulness of the study. Then they learned according to Ananias, Naum, Filaret.
