The ritual is performed to ensure health for all participants. * The young mothers' feast. The young mothers (those who have given birth in the last one year) bring bread, banitsa (traditional cheese filo pastry akin to the Greek tiropita), grilled chicken and wine.

  • Бабьи каши (Бабий день) — день народного календаря у славян, отмечался русскими и белорусами 26 декабря (8 января) или 27 декабря (9 января), болгарами — 8 января, сербами — 28 декабря (10 января). В обрядах дня присутствовали следы культа Параскевы Пятницы, который, в свою очередь, восходит к почитанию Великой богини-матери. На Руси в этот день почитали повивальных бабок и рожениц. По мнению советского этнографа В. И. Чичерова, обрядовая тема брака и рождения связана с образом Великой богини славян-земледельцев как воплощения всего живого плодородящего, эта тема проходит как основная через все богородичные дни, противостоя умиранию природы и солнца.
