The Slavic and Baltic folk calendar is the traditional agricultural year of the Slavic and Baltic peoples, recorded here as its own calendar. Wikipedia's article on the Slavic calendar says that the original names of the months of the year in the Slavic languages closely follow natural occurrences such as weather patterns and conditions common for that period, as well as agricultural activities. It is recorded as its own calendar entity so that the holidays and festivals reckoned by it can be grouped and compared in one place, while each holiday entry keeps its own dating facts and sources.
