The element of the design (construction) of the accommodation, which is opposite the roof and the ceiling, was the floor. It was the lower border of the housing (apartment). And when among people in the past the attic of the house was associated with the celestial sphere, the floor was associated with fruitful soil (earth, ground), cornfield (ніва). So in ancient rites a ceremony of sprinkling the floor with grain was spread (popular). For example, in the morning of the New year the rite of sowing was held. It was made by the children. They went around the village with the bag full of grain, called on houses and, greeting the owners, imitated (mimed) the sowing, sprinkling the floor with rye, oat, barley, and sang: I sow and congratulate on the New Year. It was made for a better harvest in the next year. People sprinkled the floor with grain at weddings too, for the wealth and wellbeing in the house.
