Cradle «Besik»

\”Besik\” – the cradle, is considered a sacred relic of every family. In most cases, it is given to the grandson by relatives on the mother\’s line \”Nagashy\”! Besik is carefully stored in the house and passed from generation to generation.
Sometimes a son may be lucky enough to sleep in the cradle in which his father once slept. When the child is first placed in the cradle, the ceremony \”besikke salu\” (\”laying in the cradle\”) is performed.
The right to carry out such a responsible mission is entrusted, as a rule, to a specially invited wise and respected grandmother who has numerous offspring.
