In the folk calendar, the date was called Timothy Spring. According to the signs on March 6, they judge what spring will be like. At the beginning of spring, the ancient Slavs tried to throw away all broken and unnecessary things in order to cleanse their homes of accumulated negative energy and rid themselves of misfortunes and problems. Housewives carefully sweep houses and land. Cleansing was seen as an effective cleansing ritual.
