Traditions and rituals

A holiday with birds – on this day, birds are bought from catchers and released into the wild. The people believed that the bird would intercede before God for his savior.

People believe that on the day of the Annunciation, God blesses the earth and everything that grows on it. So there was a tradition to dedicate the seeds intended for sowing on the eve of the holiday or on the holiday itself. They had to be sown in time.

On the night before the Annunciation, they jump into the fire to protect themselves from the evil eye, and also burn straws to eradicate diseases.
