1913: Palm bargaining
Palm bargaining or "Verba" is an annual spring bazaar that was organized on Red Square on Lazarev Saturday and Palm Sunday.
At the bazaar, they traded toys, icons, Easter eggs, living and paper flowers, sweets, books, and, of course, willow, which was supplied from the villages with whole cabins.
You could buy a few modest twigs or a whole bunch decorated with rag and paper flowers, wax cherubs or papier mâché. For wealthier buyers, willow bouquets with cherubim made of painted porcelain or blown glass were offered.
In Orthodox culture, willow, one of the first flowering spring plants, is a symbol of the two-day feast of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem. At the same time, it was customary for the sacred willow to easily "fight" in order to strengthen health and get rid of evil spirits and evil eyes.
Palm bargaining on Red Square is mentioned by publicist I. S. Shmelev in the novel "Summer of the Lord":
"Gavrila is preparing the front flight - for the" palm skating "on Red Square, where the palm bargaining, which is called" Verba, "is already making noise. At the Kremlin itself, under the ancient walls. There, throughout the square, near Minin-Pozharsky, under the church of St. Basil, under the Holy Gate with a clock, they are called "Savior Gates," and they always take off their hats - "willows walk," the great bargaining is a festive commodity, Easter toys, images, paper flowers, all sorts of sweets, Easter different testicles and - willow. Gorkin says that this is how it happened from antiquity, for the Bright Day you need to save yourself, this. We go with Gorkin to Kazanskaya, ringing, early. They go to meet and go with "Verba," carry wreaths on images, red balloons, boys whistle at whistles, knock "blacksmiths," blow into tin pipes, fight with verbs, fools. They go and go, and all willows, with leaves of lingonberry, which slept in the winter in the greenery under the snow. "
One of the last "Verbs" in the Russian Empire was captured by Alexander Alexandrovich Gubarev (1862 - after 1937) - an amateur photographer who left pictures of many streets of the pre-revolutionary Mother See. The photographs were acquired by the Historical Museum from the author.
