kukers
Kukeri (Bulgarian: кукери; singular: кукер, kuker) is a traditional Bulgarian ritual for driving away the evil spirits. Every year around New Year and before Lent men dressed as monsters (and called kukeri), wearing decorated wooden masks of animals (sometimes double-faced) and bells on their belts would walk around the village while dancing in order to scare the evil spirits by means of their costumes and the sound of the belts. According to the tradition, this would provide a good harvest, health and happiness in the village during the whole year. The kukeri traditionally visit the people's houses at night, so that "the sun would not catch them on the road", and after going round the village they would all gather on the square, where they dance wildly and amuse the people. The ritual may vary in different regions of the country, but its essence remains largely the same.

Интересно е, че обичаи,подобни на нашите кукери има и в Италия и в Испания. Дали не са свързани с баските и етруските? За баските се предполага, че произлизат от Кавказ, а етруските ги свързват с Троя...

Баските и етруските са кореняци там. А ние сме дошли от Балхара.

Много категорично... :) Българите са дошли от ...България!

И българия се е казвала Балхара ;)
