Latvian folk sign USINS

Ūsiņš always comes as a most welcomed guest, because it is the sign of light representing the horses of the Sun pulling it up to the sky every morning. It is also called the Key sign, because Ūsiņš opens the door for summer, marking the end of spring and the beginning of summer. It is also a sign of life, beneficial for bees and livestock, especially horses, bringing good luck and a special strength for travelers.
