November 6: national holiday
Arefa Day has always symbolized the transition to winter life. There was usually snow outside the window and it was getting cold. The peasants were finishing their hard autumn work – preparing compotes, jam and pickled vegetables, finishing warm clothes and completing equipment repairs.
After a busy season, our ancestors could relax and spend time with their family. Each family summed up the work done.
People said about Arefa Day: “In November, winter fights with autumn.”
