Abstract
The article deals with the mythopoetic semantics of the folk-religious calendar and the function of date in the works of fiction of the Silver Age. As the object of study the author has chosen the less studied (as opposed to Christmas and Easter) holidays of the church calendar: St. John the Baptist’s Day, St. Elijah’s Day and the Day of the Beheading of John the Baptist. The analysis is carried out by the material of stories and short novels by A. I. Kuprin, I. A. Bunin and I. A. Novikov. It is shown that the formation of mythopoetic subtext in a realistic work serves as symbolization of images, reveals the depth of problems, and these trends correspond to the typology of “new realism” of the turn of the centuries.
