What people wore

Symbolic festive adornments and flowers

On festive occasions, young men displayed their affection by pinning a small bouquet of two or three live flowers, tied with leaves, to their black hats. Young women and brides wore necklaces made of colorful beads or silver strings, often adorned with rose-patterned ribbons in their hair.

Music

Traditional dances and rituals

Dances like Odzemok were considered traditional for men, often involving props like axes. In some villages, musicians played a melancholic melody during the Shrovetide closing to signify the end of the celebration.

Daily life

Modest homes and simple furnishings

Homes were typically modest, often comprising a kitchen and one or two rooms with earthen or stone floors, though some poorer families shared a single room with their livestock. Furniture was minimal and simple, primarily made of softwood, and lacked complex decoration.
