Српски комити у Македонији 🔴🔵⚪

[Castor]

Yes, that is the writing by the Partizani. Covered up with paint. Similar examples are all over Northern Greece.

" Ја не су Мицко Крстев и не су Бугарин, Ја су Мицко Крстић и су Србин. Према тоа, за мене слобода како Бугарин не следуе" Ово су речи Мицкове да после 18 година Турске робије изађе на слободу као Бугарин. Робијао је још 3 године и изашао на слободу као частан Србин. То може само један частан и велики стари Србин.

After 18 years in prison, the Turks offered him that he would be released from prison if he declare himself as a Bulgarian, but he refused and served another 3 years in prison.

Are those Macedonians from Lerin, Voden and Kostur Serbs too?

100%. They had Slava’s and sung songs about Kosovo. Town Servia or Servianna is not so far sth, near Kozhani (Kozani).

During the Ottoman era, Slavic communities in the Florina region were governed by a more traditional lifestyle than that of today. The common social structure of the time was the zadruga, a large, extended, communal family that lived under one roof. Unlike the Greeks of today, they followed the old Julian Calendar, and their most important holiday was their slava, celebrated on their family's saint's day (Karakasidou, Anastasia N., "Women of the Family, Women of the Nation: National Enculturation among Slav-speakers in Northwest Greece." In Ourselves and Others: The Development of a Greek Macedonian Cultural Identity Since 1912, Berg, Oxford, New York, 1997.)
From old traveler's descriptions, we can imagine what those celebrations might have been like. For example, this "Turkish Slavonian" festival at a monastery in August, 1844:

A green glade, that ran up to the foot of the hill, was covered with the preparations for the approaching festivities. Wood was splitting, fires lighting, fifty or sixty sheep were spitted, pyramids of bread... In the evening we went out, and the countless fires, lighting up the lofty oaks, had a most pleasing effect. The sheep were by this time cut up and lying in fragments, around which the supper parties were seated cross-legged. Other peasants danced slowly, in a circle, to the drone of the somniferous bagpipe. (Clark, Edson L., Turkey, Peter Fenelon Collier, New York, 1878)





After decades of assimilation, the ethnic Macedonians have slowly lost the Slava tradition in Greece. Some still celebrate in private, and in the diaspora it is more openly celebrated.

I believe that was a consequence of prosecution rather than assimilation.

На една прослава у Солун дошла до средба међу војвода Глигор Соколовић и Енвер Паша долгоготрајни непријатели па војвода Соколовић му се обратил на Енвер од сите што ги гледав низ шишан само тебе успејав да те промашам а и подобро што испадна вака. После неколку години Енвер Паша е главниот раководител на геноцидот врз Ерменците.
