On Sunday September 27, the Serbian Orthodox Church and the believers celebrate the great Christian holiday of the Day of the Cross., the day the Holy Cross was found.

It is a red letter and a day of strict fast, only of bread and water. Whoever is baptized with the cross, fasts on that Day of the Cross, it is an old saying and custom that is respected. Only grapes and no other fruits are eaten on this holiday! In that, the house must be tidy, the clothes washed, everything in the home neat, so that the house is ready for winter.

Do you believe in customs?

The old custom associated with the Day of the Cross is the night before this holiday when all wishes are fulfilled, at least so they say …

At midnight, look at the sky, imagine the wish clearly and precisely, say it clearly and out loud, and if it is wanted by God, he will fulfill it for you.
