Touch the traditions of Ancient Rus

In the beginning of June, when the fields are waiting for the dew, what will bring them to life, Semik comes to the forests and fields of the north. Navy Great Day. Con-Parem. An ancient holiday, which opens the gate of the coming Mermaid to the Seventh, is besieged. Day of spirits. The day of the Dead.
Once a beautiful virgin emerged from cold waters, carrying fertility to the earth, riding a horse out of the river, irrigating the fields. Since ancient times, the villages have been rituals for driving mermaids - in memory of water virgins the guys led the bridle of horses along the roads, and then drowned them, sacrificing the gods of gray antiquity. But centuries go by and the appearance of the ancient action changes, and now they are tearing to pieces and drowning not the sacrificial horse, but only a stuffed animal. But no, no, yes, a girl with her hair loose, sitting on a shrouded back. And the descendants look thoughtfully at the skulls of the ancient horses sacrificed by the ancestors, remembering what was once the feast of Semik.
