Town and church holidays

On this day, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of Monk Zacharias the Open, a hermit, Saint Artemy (Artemon), Bishop of Thessalonica, Saint Zacharias of the Caves, a fast.

The feast of the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos is near.

People called that day Zachary Postnik. Zechariah.

Traditions and rituals

Our ancestors on this day burn bonfires in the yard and go around the huts to drive away evil spirits. People believed that the demons could not withstand even the mention of the name of Zechariah the Faster and fled from the place where the memory of the monk was honored.

Fires were lit along the roads to show travelers the way to the church. And in the evening they began to prepare for a big holiday – the Annunciation.
