Annunciation
 
Annunciation was celebrated on March 25/April 7. By this time storks and swallows should have arrived. It was strictly forbidden to do anything around the house on that day. After the Annunciation, according to people's views, it was possible to "disturb" the earth: to dig, plant, walk in the woods.It was considered a great sin to carry out field work before this date.
