The assumption of Christianity for our official religion and cult left a serious mark on the spiritual lifestyle of Bulgarians. National rituals are linked to the dates from the Orthodox calendar and have suffered many changes. That is how the various and multi-faced Bulgarian celebration calendar was formed.
Ethnographic Complex Chiflika Chukurovo offers its guests the opportunity to fall into the magic of national beliefs as they participate in the ritual and proper celebration of each eminent day from the calendar.
