Traditionally, Jurjevo is a spring feast which was used to be one of the most important traditional holidays in the Balkans. It was especially significant for the shepherds, who were bringing their livestock to the pasture for the first time of the year. Jurjevo marks the end of the cold, winter period and the beginning of warm and green spring.
