the graves of the dead and prayed for the repose of their souls.

Gerasim Grachevnik

On the day of Gerasim Jordan, as peasants had noticed in the old days,
rooks return home. Observant old men brought one
regularity: if the rooks, upon returning, are immediately taken for
the repair of housing, the spring is expected to be warm and welcoming; if
the birds have long been sitting on nests without “work” – the cold is still long
will not retreat. At Gerasim, good housewives baked cookies and pies in
form of rooks and treated with the cooking of local kids. Besides people
believed that these birds had the ability to exorcise
evil spirits. There were also their signs on this day. For example,
seeing the playing rooks was a good omen,
testifying to family well-being.
