Rituals and Beliefs

On April 15, during Lazarus Saturday, it’s time to sow peas for a bountiful harvest.
On April 23, St. George’s Day, the nightingale begins to sing, and it will continue until the barley ripens.
If someone hears the cuckoo for the first time and has money with them, they will have financial stability throughout the year. To ensure this, after the Bright Holiday (Easter), they tie a coin in their shirt, meaning they will always have money on hand.

Onions and garlic should be planted before the frogs start croaking.
According to ancient beliefs, the earth does not fully open during the first thunder, which is said to occur before the prophet Elijah rides across the sky in his chariot.
If the first thunder comes from the west, it promises a good grain harvest.
If you lean against a tree, a gate, or something similar during the first thunder, your back will not hurt.
Girls who hear the first thunder rush to the river to wash their faces and apply something red to ensure they retain their beauty and attract wealth.
House spirits, or domovoi, live in homes and can be either mischievous or benevolent, having a significant influence on the household.
They should not only be treated with respect but also not spoken of at night.
If a domovoi does not take a liking to the owner or a family member, it can cause trouble, making noise in the attic, disturbing children, scaring adults, and preventing the hosts from sleeping.
