Peg Calendar - More Info

Cislaq / Russian Orthodox peg calendar. “The Elders at home, even when we got American calendars, they’d still use those wooden ones. Lots of holes. And they knew when all the holidays were, too” (Clyda Christiansen, Kodiak Island Elder, 1997). Pegs were moved forward one hole each day on this household calendar of the Russian Orthodox year, which has marks for Sundays and feast days.
