A fact from Caloian appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 December 2021 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Caloian, a ritual once practiced in southern and eastern Romania, involved the burial of a figurine (example pictured) by young girls, one of whom acted as a priest?

The article was expanded, so it's eligible. It is free of copyvio, the image seems to be ok (it's anonymous and from 1915's book, so is highly likely to be in PD), the hook is interesting. Qpq done. The article is well-sourced, but all the sources are books (and some not in English) I have no access to. I'll approve it, article is very nice, and it would be great to see it later as GAN!
