Regional/Cultural Day

Vadasoshcha

The priest blesses the river, the brave cut holes in the ice, and three dips in freezing water are supposed to cleanse everything. Whether you swim or watch, the whole village turns out because this is the closest thing Belarus has to a communal dare. The water that day is considered sacred and everyone takes some home.

Regional/Cultural Day

Animals of Finland Day

You encounter the brown bear, Eurasian lynx, and reindeer as Finland's most iconic subarctic and boreal forest inhabitants. You notice that Finns commonly keep dogs, cats, and pet birds such as budgerigars in their homes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
