For hundreds of years villagers of Stolbun (Belorussia) are gathering on the 40th day after Easter to spend a ceremony named "Burying of Strela (Arrow)". Our ancestors were using this ceremony to call rains, increase harvests and protect their homes and fields from lightning. They were praying to God and making ritual gifts to the Earth. For hundreds of years the sky fills up with clouds and it starts to rain right after the ceremony.
