Town and church holidays
The Orthodox Church honors the memory of Mokiy Wet, Hieromartyr Mokiy. Among the people, the holy martyr was called according to the name, and also because it often rained on his feast day.
On this day, it is not customary to work on the land, because it is the day of reconciliation of the king of the city.
Traditions and rituals
Summer is predicted by the weather on this day.
In Mokiya Wet, people perform daily household chores and perform rituals to save the future harvest from hail: they burn a Christmas bundle of straw or willow from Palm Sunday in the field.
