Spas
We have also photographed the late summer holiday called Spas. Spas refers to Christ the Savior. The holiday also celebrates the harvest and there are three such days: Makovyi Spas to celebrate the poppy harvest, Iablochnyi Spas to celebrate the harvest of fruits, and Medovyi Spas to celebrate the harvest of honey.
Here are photographs of Makovyi Spas in Velykyi Khutir, taken in 1998 and of Iablochnyi Spas taken in Kyiv in 1993 and in Moshnyi, Kaniv region, Cherkasy province in 1998.
