The Cross of Mara is a sign of living matter, closely associated with fertility, fire and home. This sign is formed from four oblique crosses, it symbolizes the dynamic nature of matter and the active state of life. In ancient times, the cross of the cross was drawn on a loaf of bread before it was put in the oven and in the evening, when going to bed, it was drawn in the ashes of the hearth, therefore the sign is also called the cross of fire. Sometimes the cross of the cross is also called the cross of Lyma or the cross of Mary. Since Mary was considered the guardian of the farm and the world of animals, material well-being - Houses and Bread - was protected with the cross of Mary, therefore the cross of Mary was a particularly important symbol. Every thing that is symbolically put on a crucifix is offered to Mary, receiving blessings and supervision in return. When burning beeswax candles, the room is filled with a pleasant smell of wax. The aroma of propolis spreads in the air of the room, it cleanses from negative energy and disinfects. The essential oils of the flowers and pollen contained in the wax also spread in the air of the room, creating a pleasant aroma of honey. Fresh wax is colorless like glass, but in contact with pollen and propolis it turns yellow - from very light yellow to yellow-brown. Minerals, plant pigments (for example, various carotenes) and essential oils give wax its characteristic color and smell. The smell of wax is also formed from honey, pollen and propolis. Wax fades in sunlight. If the wax contains a lot of propolis, it can have a greenish tint. The production of one kilogram of wax requires four kilograms of honey.
