Traditions and rituals
They prayed to the patron John the Baptist for deliverance from headaches, for the protection of children, for the patronage of crops, during the consecration of beehives.
On this day, the first migratory birds are expected. Seeing a lark or stork is considered a good sign.
Also, the feast of finding John’s head is associated with the taking of birds’ nests. Farmers helped them here: they repaired the old birdhouses in the gardens, built new ones.
