Happy St. George's Day!

The guardian of animals was never forgotten by Lithuanian farmers on April 23rd. Without them, much of the tilling and sowing could not be done.

On this special day, the animals were encircled by smoking burning plants believed to have protective properties. Shepherds and livestock were sprinkled with water to protect them from illnesses, evil spirits, and village sorceresses.

Rituals centering around eggs were performed to increase the productivity of livestock. All in all, it is the day all animals dream of - a day off with pretty good perks!
