29th of September from 11 AM to 3 PM

Michaelmas day marked the beginning of winter: the work in the fields was finished and the cattle were driven to the cattle shed. Men went to stock up on the firewood, women started with indoor handicrafts, and kids were brought back from the herd to the school bench. A sheep was killed as a sacrifice and potato and swede dishes are on the table. Michaelmas Day had to be celebrated so that the wolf would not come to the herd next summer and the crops would still grow well in the field. The Old Believers and Setos Sedus began to prepare for fasting.
