SEPTEMBER
All autumn feasts and customs hover around the preparations
for the long winter knocking on the door. Sowing for the next year and gathering the present crops take place and all family members participate.
On 14 September is the Day of the Holy Cross, connected mainly with grape-gathering. On this day the Holy Cross is taken out of the church, a service is performed over it and then the priest sprinkles the worshippers with holy water.
