Happy Trifon Zarezan!
The Bulgarian holiday everyone should celebrate on February 14:)
"It is called Trifon Zarezan (derived from the word zaryazvam or cut) because all vine-growers perform the first pruning of the vineyards. In this, the men are accompanied by the women, the young and the kids. They all go together to their piece of land to show their respect to it and inspire it for a new life with the first farming ritual during for the year, with festive songs and dances, with a ritual table laid among the vineyards. The first pruned vine sticks will be wreathed into a crown for the best vine-grower in the village. He will be proclaimed the "Vine King" of the year. The men pick up the vine king and carry him around. Everyone wants to be blessed by him and treat him with their wine. The more wine that is poured on that day, the more generous the next harvest will be."
"And she says losing love is like a window in your heart..."
