Christmas in Bulgaria
BACK TO CHRISTMAS EVE TRADITIONS !
Our 3rd graders gave a fabulous performance reviving Bulgarian Christmas customs. Parents took an active part in it! Survachka – a symbol of health, longevity and prosperity! An expression of diligence and holiday mood!
It’s made of a branch of a cornell tree. The decoration is highly varied – seeds, wool, walnuts, ring-shaped buns, apples, raisins, prunes, dried peppers, beans, strings of popcorn.
The Survakari “bring kind tidings”-say wishes for health and wealth while tapping both the young and the old.
And bless them: “Surva, vesela godina! Do godina, do amina!”
That means: ” Happy, healthy and Merry New Year! God bless you till next year and forever!”
