The fires of Sirni Zagovesi and how the kukers chase the evil forces

Fire occupies an important place in popular beliefs. An essential moment in the feast of Sirni Zagovesi ritualism is the burning and jumping over large fires. About the defector, the throwing of the fire arrows, the custom "hamkane", the forgiveness and the kukeri games, you will learn from the museum lecture on March 2 (Saturday) at 11.30 hours in the Ethnographic Museum of Burgas, at 69 Slavyanska Str.
The lecturer will be the curator of the Ethnographic exhibition Krasimira Dubarova. She will present the traditional celebration of Sirni Zagovezni, which is held seven weeks before Easter. In 2019, this is March 10 - Sunday, and the Great Post begins on Monday.
