Bulgarian Folk : Koledari

Koledari (Bulgarian and Macedonian: коледари; from common Slavic Koleda, "Christmas") is the Bulgarian and Macedonian term for Christmas carolers. In Bulgaria and the Republic of Macedonia, carolers (called koledari or survakari) traditionally start their rounds at midnight on Christmas Eve. They visit the houses of their relatives, neighbours and other people in the village. They were given fruits, little rolls of bread and other food specially prepared to the occasion, The koledari's dress and costume ornaments differed from region to region. The waits carried koledarkas /instead of sourvachkas/ - richly carved long oak sticks.
Koledari are usually boys. Each caroler carries a cornel stick called survachka, surovachka, or survaknitsa, with which each one of them pats the backs of their parents, grandparents, and friends, thereby wishing them health, wealth and happiness.
