Hello everyone!
This is the video i talked you about, Reny, in the last comment.
It's a little bit long, but it gives the idea.
This is a space to share outcomes from an eTwinning project between several schools in Europe. Our pupils are from 6 to 12 years old and our team intend to share songs that children sing in their childhood, songs that all of us learn from our parents and grandparents and also in schools and much more...

Hi, Betty! I watched the movie with interest and I really enjoyed it. Please explain to me - why the masked men hit people in the street. But ... I think your ritual is very similar to our ritual to chase away the evil spirits. I'm not suggesting that between the cultures of different countries has much in common. Or ... we are more alike than different. From Bulgaria : Svetla
Thanks a lot, Betty, for the interesting video! Really, this tradition looks like "Halloween" of Britain, the USA, Canada, etc.It is like Bulgarian "mummer" ritual/"Kukeri/. The men with masks and costumes make the special actions and perhaps they want to chase the evil spirits, they want to "clean" their homes from ghosts, witches and bad people.
I'd like to present this fantastic video to my pupils and hope that they will like it.
Be Happy!
Kind regards, Reny
Dear friends, thanks for your commments.
The "careto" is a very old tradition. Men use masks with big noses and dress clothes like those you watched in the video with bright colors. They are like the devil, so they do "bad things".
But is all for fun.
In the old days, men used this ritual to be near the girls (everything is allowed).
I few information in english (not mine heheh)
