Description
In Ancient Rus many holidays were marked with traditional folk festivals. Celebrations were held in the open air, usually around a big fire, with games, singing and dancing, mummers performing traditional plays and musicians on accordions and pipes.
These were very important events, and there were mass celebrations for religious festivals, key parts of the farming year like harvest or the return of spring, the end of a long fast or a military victory.
In this book we describe the traditional Slavic holidays and the most common games, dances and revelries that marked these festivals.
