Honey Spas?


Google “Honey Spas” and you will get a lot of suggestions for spas and hot tubs.  Google “Honey Spas Russia” and you will get something very different.

In Russia, August 14 is celebrated as The Savior of the Honey Feast. The holiday is also referred to as Honey Spas (“savior” in Russian translates to “spas”). On this day, celebrants enjoy freshly harvested honey after it has been blessed.
