Trojan horse with mummers

Description For Gertsaevsky district of the Chernivtsi region, which lives in unison with the Romanian Orthodox Church (according to the Gregorian calendar), on the night of December 31 to January 1 begins not only the new year, but also the merry calendar holiday of the year - Malanka. It is during these days, according to the Gregorian calendar, the day of St. Melania and St. Basil. Here this holiday is also called "revelion". Children in decorated military uniforms walk from court to yard with "uratura" - congratulating the owners, malancari often shout "hurray." Traditionally the first star in the sky on December 31, the malancers begin to walk with congratulations from the courtyard to the court, wishing the owners happiness and peretance with each girl, girl or woman in the yard. 1.01.2017 Chernivtsi region
