Holiday of Pyartel in Estonia

Автор: 24.08.2014 | festival, Estonia
In Estonia on the 24-th of August, it is celebrated one of the most popular holidays – the Day of Pyartel (Pärtlipäev).

This holiday is dedicated to the beginning of fall and is commemorated since the 18-th century. The Day of Pyartel is connected with the gathering of rye abundance, beginning of potatoes harvest, and also with the start of sheep shearing.

On the Day of Pyartel in Estonia water becomes cold that means the end of bathing suit season. It points to the upcoming autumn. At the Pyartel Day in ancient times the Estonians started brewing beer, considering that hop plant gathered in this day obtains the final bitter taste.

The Day of Pyartel in Estonia is not only thought to be the time of preparation to autumn but also an excellent reason for making a market-day for sale of gathered harvest of vegetables and fruits. The weather in this day helped to define the skies at the future autumn.
