about the living tradition
«Chalanda» means the 1st day of the month, so Chalandamarz means nothing else than the first day of March. Before the Julian calendar, Chalandamarz was the first day of the year and the custom was used to drive away evil spirits at the turn of the year. Today, this custom announces the beginning of spring and the end of the cold season with singing, cracking of whips and ringing of bells.
