What is the right thing to do with the housekeeper from last year?

Easter is one of our most beautiful and joyful holidays, and what makes it special is the custom of painting eggs. The first thing you paint is the guardian of the house and according to the beliefs of our elders, it protects the household and drives away evil forces and evil spirits from your home.

The guardian’s house is always red, it must be kept until the next Good Friday, because it represents the defender of the house from all bad things.

What’s the only right thing to do with last year’s housekeeper?

When the new guardhouse is painted, the old one is thrown into the river, to carry away all the evils and misfortunes that fell on him, instead of the house he saved.

On the other hand, those who have yards observe the custom of burying last year’s custard apple in the ground under the tree that you want to be fruitful, as well as to protect the household from the weather.

It is believed that the guardian house brings prosperity and happiness to the home, so many keep it in special decorative containers.

Special washing on Easter

In the past, the old custom and ritual was observed to leave the painted guardian house overnight in water with basil, dogwood, and the healing plant the night before Easter, and the family washed with that water on Easter morning so that everyone would be healthy throughout the year, especially the children.
