I moved the posts from the new thread here since I thought this thread here could be about celebration days in general, not just the nationwide ones Nordis / mod.O.K. We got very sleepy here, I thought something for awakening, but really the threads are similar.

I found that there's no thread about the customs in different countries - I mean what you do like a folk tradition or ritual in different events in life - birth, wedding, death, holidays...
For example. today in Bulgaria is the day of St. George. It is orthodox, folk and official holiday and is a non-working day. The orthodox church celebrates the memory of St. George - saint-warrior and martyr mostly well known for the legend about killing a dragon. Also there's a legend he resurected the ox of a poor man, so he is considered a patron of the shepherds. As an official holiday it is celebrated as a day of the Bulgarian army and the valor. The folks tradition is to sacrifice a lamb. Early in the morning the shephard chooses one lamb from the herd, decorates the lamb's head with fresh flowers, puts also a wreath of flowers on the lamb's neck. This will be lamb to be killed and then cooked. It is roasted with rise, made barbecue on a spit, baked in a brick oven or in a pit in the ground with fire over it. After that relatives and friends gather, eat and drink red wine. If someone has name day ( is called Georgi, female Gergana) he invites guests and receives presents. Opposite to birthdays, when the people are always invited, it is told that everybody can go uninvited on a name day, but in the last years most of the people do not do that. My husband is called Georgi, the Bulgarian for George. We gathered with relatives in a village for dinner with baked lamb and red wine. ;D

I also hear about the rakija, but I hope this is not passing as a rakija song, which awaits its turn.

Vladimir Kulich (Buliwyf) As the Danish mercenary Tiberius in Iroclad: www.imdb.com/media/rm3539188480/nm0474520(About Ironclad - I'm not pleased - too many atrocities, from time to time the action is getting boring.) The 13th Warrior is one of our family films, being watched over 20 times, Battlemage - over 50.

What a cold spring, no vikings in the sea and the dragonesses are sleepy. The fair ladies hoped to catch some varangian gards in Miklagaard, but even the Bosphorus froze, as Turisas sang.

Arivse, great excuse! Because of lack of time, I read here and there, often missing the connection.

With the pigs, we only got ''drunk as a pig''. Other romanian ones: -when someone looks lost and stares: he looks like a calf at a new gate ; -for ''cold '' people: heart like a stone . WE have the same with the pig - "drunk as a swain" and just the same "heart like a stone". With the calf we have in the same situation, but stands in another place ;D - "he looks like a calf in a railway".
