The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, also known as the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Our Lady of Thunder, is one of the most ancient in Christianity, as it was celebrated in Jerusalem as early as the 4th century. Its name comes from the Greek words Hypapante and Heorte tou Katharismou, which means the feast of meeting and purification.

Musically about the tradition of weddings in the Polish countryside
Weddings in the villages once lasted up to several days, and many specific customs were observed. Weddings were held only in "lucky" months, that is, only those that included the letter "r" in their name. The newlyweds, leaving the church after the wedding ceremony, were showered with grain or rice, which was intended to bring the young couple prosperity.
