معنی
Refers to daylight hours.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Kaamos' is the period of late autumn when there is almost no 'valge päev'. It is a time for reflection, candles, and staying indoors. Similar to Finland and Sweden, the 'valge päev' is a legal and safety consideration for driving—headlights must be on even during the brightest 'valge päev'. In old Estonian beliefs, spirits were more active when it wasn't 'valge päev'. Light was seen as a protective shield. Tallinn's 'Valgus kõnnib' (Light Walks) festival celebrates the end of the long 'valge päev' of summer and the start of the dark season.
