Annunciation is one of the great spring holidays.

It is always celebrated 9 months before Christmas - on March 25.

According to the Bible, on this day the Archangel Gabriel brought the Virgin Mary the good news that she would give birth to the Savior of mankind, the son of God Jesus Christ.

In folk imagination, this day is associated with the arrival of migratory birds and the final spring awakening of nature.

According to folk beliefs, after the Annunciation, everyone should leave home full and with money in their pockets.

Fish (baked or boiled), patterned pita, onions are present at the ritual table.
