Actually, this is the first spring holiday. On this day the vines are being “notched” and the vine King is elected. Early in the morning the women would bake the bread and prepare the colorful bags – with a grilled chicken and a wooden wine vessel. Taking the bags, the men would then leave to the vine fields. Each will stop at his own vineyard, will say a prayer, then will cut sticks from three vines with the cutting scissors. All the cut places of the vine then should be pored with wine. Then the men would join the common table. It is believed that on this way all the illnesses would be driven away and a rich yield will come.
