TL;DR

Unbaptized Days are observed in ancient Serbian beliefs from January 10th to January 19th.
This period is associated with the belief that the earth is open for the dead, devils, and demons to emerge.
Evil forces are said to be dominant from dusk until the first roosters crow, advising against going out at night.
Protective items like garlic, crosses, or sharp metal objects are recommended if one must go out after sunset.
Women are traditionally advised against spinning, weaving, or washing during these days.
Nothing white should be left outside, particularly children's clothing, to prevent harm from spells.
In some areas, house lights are hidden by curtains or blinds, and water is not drunk at night.
Children born during Unbaptized Days are believed to be sickly and unhappy, requiring special protection.
Masked processions (koledari) would collect offerings of food and drink to ward off misfortune.
Families would feast together after collecting these offerings, and these days are non-fasting except for Krstovdan.
Noise, music, and laughter are believed to drive away evil spirits.
