Well I missed Barborky or St. Barbara’s Day on Dec. 4th. According to tradition, on this day a young unmarried woman cuts off a twig from a cherry tree and puts it in water. These will be put in a vase in a dark corner, each one with a name tag, and on Christmas Day they will be eagerly examined. If it blooms by Christmas Eve, the girl will marry within a year.
