On Flower Sunday, people used to bring green twigs and branches called "bahniatka" to church, where the priest would then bless them with water and prayer. When they returned home from church they would place the green twigs and branches behind paintings hanging in their house or on the framework of the attic. It was believed that the hanging twigs would protect the house from a storm. During an actual storm the twigs would also be attached to the windows.
Also on this day, when the gospel was read at church, it was believed that all the hidden treasures on earth would become uncovered. The legend was that the treasures would be found according to where little flames burned on the ground. However, treasure hunters had to hurry to uncover the treasure, for it was also believed that once the priest had finished reading the gospel the flames would disappear.
Many traditions were associated with meal times on this day. Farmers were supposed to eat long strands of pasta in order that their crops would do well. Also, it was believed that whatever product the farmer ate first on this day would be the product that flowered first out of all of his crops.
