Traditions
Traditions and customs can be any thing which many people do, and have done for a long time. Usually, the people come from the same country, culture, time or religion.
The traditions celebrated by the people of Norka had, in many cases, their origins in the pre-Christian beliefs of the Germanic people. Those beliefs were later adapted and modified by Christian beliefs. The Christian beliefs were changed and adapted as the Protestant Reformation swept across the European continent in the 1500s. These beliefs and the traditions they inspired were carried by the colonists to Russia in 1766 where they were shaped by their new environment and Russian neighbors.
