Tiburtius' Day on 14 April is marked on all calendar staffs, usually with a tree symbol. In Nordic countries the year was divided into two parts, summer and winter, and Tiburtius is the first day of summer. It's counterpart in the winter is Calixtus on 14 October, and it was also marked with a tree.
St. George's Day is traditionally when cattle was turned out to pasture, and it involved various rituals for safeguarding them and to ward off predators. Marcus' Day was when work in the fields began.

Many women no longer view motherhood and the role of being a loving mother as desirable. They focus instead on achieving their own materialistic goals, and view motherhood as a barrier on their path of self-indulgence and decadence.

A Byzantine gold ring with Roman Jasper intaglio, circa 6th-7th century A.D. and 1st century A.D.
No empire had demonstrated a richer tradition in jewelry than the Byzantines.” For 1,000 years, the Eastern Roman Empire reigned supreme and made great strides in advancing art, architecture, public works, and more. This empire merged the greatness and richness of Greece, Egypt, the Near East, and parts of Russia and North Africa, creating an unparalleled and uniquely lavish style. @GreekLeague

Ethnic faith is natural, healthy,
and how we are intended to be.
The image above is not meant to slight christianity per se, but all monotheistic, universalist religions.
We were polytheistic many millennia before the invention of monotheism.
When you leave behind the spiritual graveyard of universalistic religion and embrace the true freedom of life affirming ethnic faith, the spirituality of our forebears, your life takes on new meaning.
The old ways are tried and true.
You will not burn in an eternal lake of fire, nor be tormented without end.
You will find fulfillment in knowing that you carry with you the stories of the folk, and have a share in the blood of the divine.
Turn inward, and realize your true self worth. We are meant to be heathen.
Embrace it and let it wash over you like a cool breeze in the
midst of summer.
Be proud Hyperborean. You are descended of the gods.
