Fruity Spas

It's Nut Spas day in Russia today (29th aug). I vaguely remember an Apple Spas day some time ago, also from Russia. I wonder what this hoo-ha is, about Fruits n nuts and Spas.. and so i checked it out..

The August, the last month of the summer season, when the harvest is sown, is usually celebrated by three holidays called "Spas" in Russia.
The first "Spas" is called Honey Spas (August 14);
The second "Spas" is called Apple Spas (August 19);
The third one is called Nut Spas (August 29).
Spas brings cold dew to lands and meadows. After the first Spas honey is collected, the second Spas brings fresh fruit and the third one, nuts.

The above information was obtained from here.

Ah. And i thought they meant bathing in apples, then in nuts.. XD
