Green Week

Today, Slavic peoples celebrate Green Week. It is closely linked to the cult of the dead and spring agricultural rites. Some of the Green Week rites, such as making offerings of eggs and garlands, were believed to appease the rusalki (nature spirits) so that they would stay away from the village's agricultural fields during the season and not do no harm. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #GreenWeek #Semik #rusalki
