Hukanne vyasny

with the Students' Ethnographic Society
in the Yanka Kupala Museum

Are you tired of the winter cold and winds? Are you looking forward to the coming of spring? Take the opportunity of welcoming spring in a traditional Belarusian way! Join in the "Spring calling" (Hukanne vyasny) festival, an ancient rite celebrating the beginning of spring. It is one of the most cheerful and optimistic traditions in Belarus.

This tradition has very deep roots. When the first signs of spring appeared, our ancestors climbed the hills and called for the main spring's messengers - birds. In olden times, Belarusians performed various rituals to attract birds and spring to their land. Some people made birds from dough (flour, water, salt) and put them everywhere. Also, while singing ritual songs, they threw biscuits in the shape of the birds up into the sky. Others made birds from paper, cardboard, or thread figurines and tied them to trees with bright ribbons (ленты / стужкі).

The higher the bird figurines were, the faster the real birds would see them. Do you want to join in this mysterious ritual? Make a colourful paper bird at home and bring it to the festival. If you can't do it, don't worry: you will be able to take part in the paper bird-making workshop in one of the festival's zones. We offer a wide range of activities such as listening to and singing folk spring songs, dancing the karahod, and playing traditional games. Traditional spring songs are called "vyasnyanki" in which each verse (куплет / куплет) usually ends with the loud "Hu-Hu!" sounds. These sounds gave the rite its name, "Hukanne vyasny". You can also take part in the various workshops where you will learn to make birds from dough, paper, straw, and wood. We are going to hold a crafts fair with traditional Belarusian souvenirs from local artisans. The hit of the fair is clay or wooden bird-whistles. Blow one of them and spring will be upon much faster!

When you get hungry, head for the food court with its mouth-watering Belarusian cuisine: draniki and pancakes with cottage cheese and sour cream, pies with cabbage and mushrooms, gingerbread in the shape of birds as well as hot tea.

Welcome to call for spring together with your relatives and friends! You will definitely enjoy the festivities as well as help to keep alive one of the most fascinating Belarusian traditions which has been handed down from generation to generation.
