Green week (
Зелені Свята) is an ancient
Slavic
fertility festival celebrated in early June and closely linked with the
cult of the dead and the spring agricultural rites. It usually fell
upon the Thursday of the Green Week (better known as
Trinity Week in Ukraine and the
Whitsuntide
week in Britain). Its name is derived from the Slavic word for "seven",
because the Green Week was the seventh (sometimes the eighth) week
after
Easter.
