Macedonians in Greece celebrating Koleda

[Vojnik]

Koleda:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koliada

Koleda is also celebrated across northern Greece by the Slavic speakers of Greek Macedonia, in areas from Florina to Thessaloniki, where it is called Koleda (Κόλιντα, Κόλιαντα) or Koleda Babo (Κόλιντα Μπάμπω) which means "Koleda Grandmother" in Slavic. It is celebrated before Christmas by gathering in the village square and lighting a bonfire, followed by local Macedonian music and dancing.

Good to see pagan Slavic customs still celebrated in Greece

Does the girl in the black hat and the white jacket, who makes the initial introduction, have a slavic semblance/phenotype? She looks very different to the rest of the faces in the video?

I love the way the fire is lit up.

As far as I know this custom doesn't even exist in Bulgaria and Fyrom. It's also not exclusively Slavophones'. Don't play into their delusions. Those people dance it along with Pontians nowadays.

It’s a very important part of our Christmas celebrations. Take a look

What a retarded comment. Ofcourse Koleda is Celebrated over the border in the Republic of Macedonia.

Βαρβαρικο έθιμο. Αποκρουστικό μόνο που ακούς τη λέξη Κολεντα.
