Signs discouraging profanity for September 17th
Today, the festivities in various regions are centred around Onion Day, a unique celebration that also includes the observance of Gromnica, The Day of Babylas, and The Day of Sharp Pitchforks.
One of the key rituals performed on The Day of Sharp Pitchforks is the act of sticking pitchforks into haystacks. This tradition, like many others, has been passed down through generations.
During these celebrations, people are particularly respectful of fire. Speaking loudly, arguing, or blaspheming in fire's presence remains forbidden, a rule that adds a solemn air to the festivities.
Sewing and handicrafts, believed to attract evil spirits, are still prohibited during these celebrations. This age-old superstition, while not universally accepted, adds a touch of mystique to the festivities.
The icon celebrated on this day is named "Unburnt Bush". Contrary to some beliefs, the Unburnt Bush celebration does not predict that borrowing money will lead to a life of poverty.
Interestingly, the weather on Onion Day is said to hold clues for the upcoming season. Onions heavily covered in skin indicate a forecast of a cold winter with harsh frosts. On the other hand, multi-layered clouds in the sky suggest an upcoming cold snap and unsettled weather for the coming week.
Rain on Onion Day is believed to predict a dry autumn, offering a glimmer of hope for farmers and nature enthusiasts alike.
Each of these celebrations, with their unique traditions and weather predictions, adds a rich tapestry to the cultural landscape, making Onion Day a day to remember.
