The Jievaras Jumpsuit
Jievaras is a Lithuanian spirit who protects grain. Sacrifices to Jievaras are made after the rye harvest. While cutting grain, women would leave a few grain tufts uncut, which would later be braided into plaits. They would also leave some bread and salt under the plait, and would say: Davei manei, Žemele, duodame ir tau ([You] gave for us, Mother Earth, we are giving for you too), a request for the land to continue to be fruitful. May your life be blessed in this beautiful grain-colored suit embellished with embroidered flowers on the back of the pant legs and metallic stone detailing.
