Town and church holidays
Today the Orthodox Church honors the memory of the Holy Great Martyr Nikita of Gotha. Nikita lived in the 4th century on the banks of the Danube. He was baptized and began preaching Christianity to his fellow Goths. The pagans wanted to force the Christian to renounce his faith, but Nikita was not defeated. In the end, the martyr was sentenced to death by burning, but the fire did not burn the saint’s body. Later, the remains of Nikita Gotha were transferred to Constantinople.
Traditions and rituals
In Nikita, villages began to slaughter geese fattened in the summer. At this time, wild geese fly to warmer regions, and hunters go out for the last hunt. The bird is for sale and for the family table. Today’s main dish should be baked goose.
They also removed the turnips from the beds.
