Koledari

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. 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.
