Larks, Sandpipers, Magpies, and also Grouse Day - a holiday of the revival of nature on March 22. It would seem that all the names are associated with birds, but Magpies are not white-sided beauties, but forty Sebastian martyrs who did not renounce Christ under Roman torture. In Orthodoxy, it is a highly revered holiday that falls during Lent.

In the Orthodox calendar, the day is dedicated to the memory of the 40 Sebastian martyrs who were executed for their faith in Jesus Christ. Magpies among the people were the second day of welcoming spring, the first day was Candlemas - February 15. The peasants were expecting the return of birds from warmer climes. The women prepared for their arrival: they kneaded sweet dough and baked cookies in the shape of birds. Signs of the weather for this day: a warm day foreshadowed the next forty days that would also be warm.
