First I heard of this tradition. It sounds like a nice one to be part of. The woman in the red jacket and the boys in their black & white ones really puts this over the top. Thank you for sharing.

Very interesting - I did not know about this tradition, I looked it up and it says it's unique to Bulgaria. I agree with Slim - great color combo in the photos. I like how the boys are buying their own Matinetzi.
