Redyk traditionally begins around 23 of April a time when shepherds locally called Baca, take flocks of sheep from villages uphill away from civilization for the grazing season which lasts about half a year. The beginning of the season is a festive time for the highlanders from Tatra. The celebration starts with Holy mass, blessings and folklore parade. In this part of Karpaty sheep farming historically is a major source of income for the region.
