On the Saturday before Easter, Bulgarians celebrate Lazarovden (St. Lazarus Day). On this day, young girls (Lazarki), wearing traditional costume, go from house to house carrying baskets decorated with flowers and sing the traditional ‘Lazarki’ song. In return, they are given eggs, coins, and candy. I spent the morning of Lazarovden with Yulka, handing out eggs to the Lazarki.
