Description: |
Galina says that her father conducted this ritual in October. He slaughtered a sheep in the traditional way without spilling its blood on the ground. Then he lit a fire in the stove at home and tossed fat and butter into the fire. Her father also performed this ritual outside near a spring. He invited his relatives, a monk, and cooked meat. The monk red prayers, and then all ate the meat and drank tea. Galina and other children helped her father during the ritual.
