Abstract
Olga reminisces that for this ritual people first made a fire where planks were joined together to form a circle. Inside the circle put special texts. Offerings put on the fire included a sheep’s head, its four legs, fat, as well as bones left from the feast. This ritual is performed either for the dead or for girls before their wedding.
