Sirni Zagovezni, also known as Shrove Sunday, was a beloved winter holiday that marked the beginning of Lent. It always fell seven weeks before Easter. People would gather juniper branches and have big bonfires where they would play, dance, sing songs, and have fun until late into the night. My grandfather fondly remembers this custom from his childhood as one of his most valuable memories. It was an important tradition where the community could socialize and the children could play before the fasting period of Lent began.

Sirni Zagovezni - Shrove Sunday - was one of the best loved festivals coming at the close of winter.

At this time of year crocuses flourished, which the been having candles in the meadows. Was nice, the birds singing in the trees and bunnies ran on the green grass. Santa was very pleased to be able to collect juniper with other children and men. Evening all went to sleep. The fire remained the oldest man to keep juniper. Because there was a danger that someone from another neighborhood to steal the collected juniper. The next day all the children and my grandfather gathered around juniper and light it. Such a nice blazing fire and flamed. All the people began to play, to have fun, to dance and sing nice songs. Santa was very happy that the fire can jump and play with other children until late at night. My grandfather fondly remembers this custom because it is one of the most valuable memories of childhood. Two to three weeks, drove two cars juniper. Juniper put in a place where it will be Garrett.
