Description: The Easter traditions in Bulgaria are a derivatives of the Eastern Orthodox Church rituals. As the Bulgarian name implies 'Velikden' (Great Day), Easter is one of the most significant holidays in the Bulgarian calendar and starting with Palm Sunday, the Holy Week leads up to the Great Day. In tune with worldwide Orthodox traditions, bright red colored eggs and Easter breads known as 'kozunak' are the prominent symbols of Easter in Bulgaria.
In Bulgaria we don’t hide and search for the Easter eggs and we don’t have the Easter bunny compared to many Western countries. Here we color eggs on Thursday or Saturday before the Easter holiday. The first dyed egg should always be red, a symbol of health.
