The “Kladi” ritual, dedicated to the Cheesefare Sunday, will take place for the 32nd consecutive year on the meadow in front of the “Kulata” ethnographic complex in Kazanlak, the organizers from the “Zhar 2002” Community Center announced.
Every year, the ritual brings together many residents and guests of the city, who attend the lighting of the large bonfire, around which mummers symbolically chase away evil spirits.
The “hamkane” ritual is also traditionally performed, in which children and the oldest member of the family participate. An elderly person spins a peeled egg or a piece of halva tied to a red thread and the children have to catch it with their mouth. The belief is that whoever wins will be healthy throughout the year.
The celebration continues with jumping over the ritual fire and ends with a horo dance.
