Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Chapter VI. LEGENDS, part 2, sentence 49

One of the causes which conduced to this result may have been--if Perun really was considered in old times, as he is said to have been, the Lord of the Harvest--that the day consecrated by the Church to Elijah, July 20, occurs in the beginning of the harvest season, and therefore the peasants naturally connected their new saint with their old deity.

Who acts: causes, day, peasants · What happens: conduce, consider, say, be, consecrate, occur · To what, where: One, Perun, day, beginning, new saint, harvest season · Speech: someone speaks here
