【欧洲·保加利亚】佩尔尼克地区的民间盛宴 Surova folk feast in Pernik region（2015年）

根据旧历，佩尔尼克地区每年1月13日和14日都会举行苏罗瓦民间宴会，庆祝新年。庆祝活动的核心是在该地区的村庄里举行的一种流行的化装仪式。第一天晚上，由男人、女人和孩子组成的Survakari化装舞会团体戴上特制的面具和服装，前往村庄中心，在那里他们点火、取笑和与观看的观众玩耍。一些参与者扮演特殊的角色，如领袖、新婚夫妇、牧师和熊。第二天一早，他们聚在一起，在村里走来走去，参观房屋。在那里，他们举行仪式，与年轻夫妇结婚，而熊则“折磨”人们以保持健康。主人们带着仪式性的食物和礼物等待他们的到来。民间宴会结束后，苏瓦卡里人分发礼物，通常向孤儿和穷人捐款。化装舞会的经历吸引了年轻人，提高了他们作为传统延续者的自尊心。在这一整年里，全家人都在为面具和其他属性收集材料，成年人教年轻人和儿童如何制作独特的面具和服装。

The Surova folk feast in Pernik region takes place each year on 13 and 14 January to celebrate the New Year according to the old calendar. The core of the celebration is a popular masquerade ritual performed in villages throughout the region. On the first night, Survakari masquerade groups, consisting of men, women and children, don specially prepared masks and costumes and head towards the village centre where they light fires, and tease and play with the watching audience. Some participants adopt special roles, such as the leader, the newly-weds, the priest and the bear. Early the next morning, they gather and walk throughout the village visiting houses, where they ritually marry young couples while the bear ‘mauls’ people for good health. Hosts await their arrival with a ritual meal and gifts. After the folk feast, the Survakari distribute the gifts, often donating collected funds to orphans and poor people. The masquerade experience appeals to young people and raises their self-esteem as continuers of the tradition. Whole families engage in collecting materials for the masks and the other attributes during that entire year, with adults teaching young people and children how to make the distinctive masks and costumes.
