Orthodox Christians celebrate Alexander Day on March 28 – it is a celebration when they honor the two great martyrs Alexander. Among the people, on this spring day, people were preparing for spring, they were waiting for the gulls to arrive, and they were preparing for the beginning of the swimming season with the birds. By the behavior of these animals, people determined the weather for the next month.

Panels:
A migratory bird flows in groups – to a friendly source. The seagulls have arrived – warm weather and early ice drift. Sparrows chirp loudly – to the sun and the clear sky. I saw a starling – spring is on the porch. The seagull has arrived – soon the ice will leave. The crane arrived – brought heat. The arrival of the lark – to the heat. I saw a chaffinch – wait for the cold. If the seagulls have arrived, the ice will fall soon. The arrival of seagulls – to the spring heat. Seagulls swim in the water – in the rain. A bright sunset on March 28 promises a series of rainy days. Spring waters flow slowly – until crops fail.
