The Slavs celebrated Semarlla (Simarlla) or Firebog Day on April 14. According to legend, this is the magnificent Slavic god of the moon and fire, which gives people light and lives among people. Our ancestors believed that it was he who stores seeds and crops. They believed that Semargl could become a sacred winged dog. They read this god in the days when rituals and signs were mentioned, which were associated with fire and fires.

On April 14, Semargl melts the last snow. In this, in this case, there is a mention of the birth of Semargla into the light from the fire.

And Semarlla is considered an intermediary between people and gods. It is he who is called up in the treatment of sick animals and people: when a person has a temperature, they say that Firebog settled in the soul of the sick. For Semargl, like a fiery dog, violently fights with ailments and diseases, which, like the thorns, made their way into the body or the soul of the sick. Therefore, it was previously considered unacceptable to shoot down the patient’s rise in temperature.
