Ratveski Bamburci: A Tradition Told Every Twentieth Day of January
Ratveski Bamburci: A Tradition Told Every Twentieth Day of January
If you start traveling through Macedonia on the first day of January, following all the traditional events in the villages and cities, believe me, you'll need to travel for the entire month to get to know all the traditions and customs celebrated by the local residents.





Each participant prepares a costume made of animal skin, most often from sheep or goats. In addition to sewing the skin, participants add horns, bells, and clappers to their costumes.

The skins are treated with salt and later dried. The entire preparation process can take up to two weeks, and some costumes can weigh as much as 70 kilograms. Anyone present at the event gets their face painted with "sazdži" (a traditional dye) if the bamboorci notice that a guest is not wearing a mask. They come and paint the person's face with black dye.
