Although we are immigrants expelled from our homeland, we do not forget our traditions and customs. This is a picture of a young woman in a national costume in Bulgaria. At the Bulgarian Fair in Pamplona Spain !! With the title “From the Spring of Orpheus”. Our feelings as emigrants are described in the poem “Bulgarche” by a great Bulgarian writer Ivan Vazov.
I am a Bulgarian. I love it
our mountains green,
Bulgarian to be called –
First joy is for me.
I am a Bulgarian free,
in the end free I live,
everything Bulgarian and native
love, tcha and millet.
I am Bulgarian, and I grow up
in great days, in glorious times,
son of a beautiful land,
I am a son of a mighty tribe.

That is a lovely song of freedom…..I think it is great to be proud of your country and heritage.
We in New Zealand are not so openly patriotic but deep down we are.
May be we should be?
It is important that you deeply feel it.
I think everyone must be proud of their nationality … Bulgarian folklore is wonderful … I was at the folklore dinner in Nessebar
You may have watched Nestinarski in Nessebar
I can not remember so much precisely … it was wonderful
sounds like a wonderful festival! Always fun to remember the best parts of the countries we love!
I am in love with Bulgarian folklore
I have always enjoyed everything you share about your homeland! I really love poetry!!!!
life is complicated and simple at the same time.
I uphold traditional values at high esteem. Knowing who you are and also keeping it real is what makes us all humans at the long run!
We should never forget our origins
I can’t be patriotic anymore
No one can pull my feelings out of my heart. And destroy them.
I like your trait of your character – honesty. The other answer is for vidocka. I apologize for the mistake.
it happens to the best of us…
Beautiful folk costume. They can expel us from our homes, but they can not take our love for our homeland.
No one can squeeze my feelings out of my heart. And destroy them.
She is such a beautiful young lady in her incredible outfit. So proud.
The smile emanating from her in this costume makes me proud and happy.
One must keep live their tradition and culture for their next generation
I am very happy because I see many young people who present our tradition and our culture around the world
You are a very proud Bulgarian and I am proud to say that I am a French Canadian first and English Canadian second. I understand your attachment to your native country, even though, I myself was born and still live in Canada. Whenever I traveled (in Morrocco and Luxembourg), I always presented myself as a French Canadian. Of course, our customs have been replaced by technology but there are still some reminders of our heritage for example at the Museum of Civilizations, at Thousand Isles where an early village was totally recreated etc. I have to admit though that I am very jealous of that young woman’s traditonal costume. It is very colourful, expertly sewed and stitched and her headress is very pretty and feminine.
Today the costumes are used in amateur art, some of the artistic elements – in applied art, arts and crafts and less often in modern clothing. I have never ceased to think of my country.
I love the traditional costume…
It’s beautiful!
Bulgarian traditional costume reflects the specifics, the traditional culture and the lifestyle of the Bulgarian people.
Such a pretty traditional costume and strong patriotic feelings.
I’m just in love with our traditional costumes
