Easter!

Happy Easter!

In Macedonia, as a part of the tradition, we do bunch of stuff. Paint eggs, have post, have family dinner, church traditions, do specific food, break with eggs etc.

But my favourite part is going in front of the main church and waiting for the bells to announce the Christs resurrection. there are like 100.000 people coming around the church, to hear the mass, also that is the place where you can see all your friends that you havent seen for years... also break with eggs with your friends... and the tradition is to lite up a candle, and keep it in your hand till burns out(so your wish will come true). then the little piece of candle that is left, you take it home with you, you put it under your pillow and go to bed.

the legend says that the person that you will dream of, will be your future husband/wife :)

this is why i love spending holidays in Macedonia. colorful tradition, lots of stories, lots of customs :)

going to bed now...just about to get to know who will i marry...:))))
