Today, the South Slavic peoples celebrate Đurđevdan, Saint George's Day in the Orthodox calendar. This festival replaces the pagan rituals of the return of Spring. These rituals mainly consisted of grazing of sheep, ritual slaughter of a lamb, preparation of various dishes, ritual bathing in the river or springs, lighting of bright fires, decoration of greenery and flowers and conducting love spells. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #6May #Durdevdan #Balkans
