Кукер

In Bulgaria in the begging of the year there are lots of festivals with kokers - it's kind of hellowin  - the idea is to scare away the bad spirits , but kids don't go form door to door for candy , no pumpkins involved - instead there are lots of dry fruits and the costumes are made from animal skin and fur ( but the animals are not murdered for that - they are just the ones that are left after the animals are killed for the food of the family ) . The costumes are very big , with lots of horns , lots of copper bells and there are certain dances that they must do going from door to door scaring the bad spirits away . By the way - with all the real fur and horns they look really real and scary . They deserve some way better design that those but some day ... Here is a photo of one but they go in groups mostly 

:) Това е скромния ми опит да покажа колко обичам кукери :) Тези са малко анимационни  и разривени  ... следващия път по-добре. Текста по-горе обяснява какво са кукерите :) И двете картинки не са през зимата ,когато им е времето на  кукерите , но просто ми се ще да ги виждам по-често през годината може би и затова са така нарисувани .
