This coincidence takes place once in 28 years. The blessing words are said in the morning when the solar disk is visible completely. The ceremony is carried out with a big number of people, both men and women take part in blessing ceremony. The presence of small children is also desirable. It is necessary to straighten legs and look at the Sun one time before the blessing. From the moment of blessing saying it is not necessary to look at the Sun. As a rule it is necessary to put on new clothes or use a fruit, which you have not still eaten this year. Photo UNIAN
