Hello! My name is Teodora Malinova! For those who know me or not, I have put together a whole album of photos that describe me perfectly. This is my true nature. For some, it may be strange, given the times we live in today. Some may not accept the fact that a girl transforms into a mummer (given the customs of the past). For those who love traditions, it may be nice to go back in time.

 

This is my life and I love who I am! When did I become like that? Well, I didn't become one! You can't be like that - you are born like that! With the birth you love your homeland, you are proud to be a Bulgarian, you keep the traditions and continue them! Or not?!…

Against the background of the time we live in, against the background of all modern things and pleasures, I chose this!

 

I chose to wear mummer's clothes, masks, vats, the Bulgarian flag on your clothes! I chose to own a costume that has collected 100 years, a Bulgarian costume inherited from my great-grandmother, vats, lambskin, tsarvuli, belts, shepherd's gags, etc. I chose my grandfather, my mother, my father to pass on the mummer's tradition to me!

 

Why? Because once I got dressed, put on the vats and this magic captivated me. From that moment I knew that it was my duty to Bulgaria to continue its traditions! Because there is no more beautiful sound than this ringing of vats, which transports you to another world and you forget where you are! There is no greater emotion and euphoria than waiting for the day when you will put on your mummer's clothes, smelling like a lamb, wearing a mummer's mask…

There is no more incredible feeling than carrying the Bulgarian flag and knowing that you are the continuation of our history! Because she is alive as long as we continue her! Let's continue the Bulgarian traditions! As long as we continue them, Bulgaria will exist forever!
