Pali zizindikiro zambiri zokhudzana ndi holideyi, kuphatikizapo imodzi yomwe imakhudza mvula pa tsiku la Ilyin.
Chizindikiro chofala kwambiri
Mu chikhalidwe chachikunja cha tsiku lino kunali phwando la Perun - Mulungu wa moto ndi mabingu. Ndi kufalikira kwa chikhristu, adayamba kuyambitsa mabungwe ndi St. Eliya, koma chofunika kwambiri cha holideyo, komanso chithunzi cha mwiniwake adakhalabe chimodzimodzi. Malinga ndi nthano, lero Ilya amayenda kumtunda pa galeta loyendetsedwa ndi akavalo, ndikuponyera mphezi kulikonse. Atamva bingu la bingu - kutentha kwa mkuntho, anthu adati: "Ilya mneneri akukwera pagaleta". Mvula tsiku lino idawonedwa ngati chizindikiro chabwino, chifukwa zikutanthauza kuti padzakhala kukolola kwabwino. Ngati nyengo ikanakhala yosavuta, ndiye kuti ndiyenela kuyembekezera chilala ndi moto.
Koma zizindikiro zowonjezereka:
- ngati mvula imagwa pa Ilyin, ndiye kuti onse omwe amagwa pansi sadziwa mabala awo chaka chonse chotsatira;
- nyengo yozizira inkaimira chilala chachikulu kwa masabata 6 otsatira;
- pa khalidwe la mvula zinkatha kudziwiratu ndi bingu lanji lomwe lidzakhala. Ndi mvula yamtendere, mabingu nthawi zonse amakhala ogontha, ali ndi mvula yambiri-kutchula, ndipo matalala amayenera kuyembekezera ngati zibwenzi sizikhala zosasokonezedwa;
- Mvula ndi bingu zinalonjeza mutu waukulu, ndipo ngati izo zikupitirira ndi zopitirira, ndiye ziyenera kukhala zolemetsa mu chifuwa;

Patsikuli adalimbikitsidwa kuti atsirize haymaking ndipo pambuyo pake ayambe kukolola. Amphawi ankakhulupirira kuti Ilya akhoza kuwotcha aliyense wogwira ntchito tsiku limenelo. Koma kuperewera kumeneku kuli ndi kufotokozera mwachindunji: mvula yamkuntho ingayambe mwadzidzidzi ndipo mofulumira kuti anthu akugwira ntchito m'minda sadzakhala ndi nthawi yofikira pogona. Ndipo kulowa mu mvula ndi mvula mu tsiku la Ilin ndizoopsa, monga mulimonse. Ndicho chifukwa chake nyumbayi inatsekedwa magalasi onse ndikuchotsa mawindo onsewo kuti asawonetse mphezi mu nyumbayo.
Mphepo yamasiku a Ilin utakhazikika ndi madzi mumtsinje, motero analetsedwa kusambira m'mabwato pambuyo pa tchuthi. Kuonjezera apo, amakhulupirira kuti mizimu yonse yoipayo imachoka m'malo awo obisala ndikungoyembekezera mpata woti imame munthu.
