In the morning about three o'clock sun comes out. Then the ceremony of welcoming the sun begins. People stand holding out their hands to the rising sun. Yakut algys (blessing) sounds. People are charged by the sun, are cleared of negative energy, rejoice.

DeleteHi Sardana, great culture that you have there in Yakutia. Highly appreciate that.
ReplyDeleteBtw, may I know what's the meaning of the X (the horse front leg) and triangle (the horse rear leg) marking in your culture?
Thank you, all the best, and speedy recovery from your spinal problem.
