Koledari
Encyclopedia : K : KO : KOL : Koledari
Koledari (from the Slavic Koleda, "Christmas") is the Bulgarian term for Christmas carolers. In Bulgaria, carolers (koledari/sourvakari) 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 a sourovachka, with which each one of them pats the backs of their parents, grandparents, and friends, thereby wishing them health, wealth and happiness.
