Our Customs

During Christmas time from the 25th December to the 6th of January there are a lot of carol singers walking all over the villages. They are dressed in the traditional folk clothes or put on special costumes and they sing Christmas songs under the houses’ windows. People usually give them some money for their performances. Then they say a lot of best wishes to them.
