CrimeaPRESS reports:
On March 3, people glorified the beautiful bunting bird, the appearance of which marked the victory of spring over winter. Our ancestors believed that the Sun God Yarilo himself granted this small bird the right to inform people about imminent warming. In her “talk” they heard the call “Leave the sleigh, leave the sleigh!” In honor of the baby bird, they even prepared a ritual dish: special pies made from oatmeal — “oatmeal”. They baked them and hoped that spring would hurry up and come faster.
If we talk about weather signs, there are a lot of them on March 3rd. In Rus’, seeing that the weather today is changeable, they said: “It flows from above, it freezes from below.”
