Location: Folklore The Grace of Bulgarian Folk CostumesWhen I first saw the book “Bulgarian Folk Costumes” I realized that I was holding a magnificent work in my hands with no analogue in this country. Koprivshtitza 2005 - 9-th National Festival of Bulgarian Folklore, August 4 - 7The National Revival town of Koprivshtitza gathered and gave shelter to thousands of performers and Bulgarian folklore fans last weekend. The event takes place once in every five years and is expected with great excitement and emotions both from Bulgarians and a great number of foreigners from all over the world who arrive specially for the spectacular festival. Bulgarian ColoursFor those who know nothing about Bulgaria we shall only say that it is a country in the Balkans neighbouring Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Roumania and Turkey, and the Black Sea to the East. Women’s Costumes In BulgariaIn terms of type and terminology the women’s costumes are richer than men’s and the reason for that is in folklore and cultural traditions. The woman’s hair must be plaited and tidied. An old Bulgarian superstition says that the Devil is hidden in the woman’s hair, therefore it must be plaited. The Carnival in Gabrovo“This world has survived because it laughs” – devoted to this dictum the people of Gabrovo held the annual carnival celebrating the days of humor and satire marking the top event for the country – signing of the contract for EU accession. |
