Kurentovanje - so this is like a annual carnival event to “drive away” winter at the start of spring. Kurenti would swing bells and do a lil dance or smtg. the costume is heavy asf
Jurjevanje - its a event specific for a small region in slovenia, it basically celebrates their culture. the green thingy in the middle is called Zeleni Jurij. He’s like this mythical man who kills dragons and snakes lol
PUST - so in slovenia we dont rlly celebrate halloween buuut in spring we have a lil holiday, idk whats it meaning is but depending in what region u r in it can be scary LOOK AT THAT, THERES A VIDEO ON YT OF IT MOVING ITS CREEPY.
So in the time of pust we also eat this. Its not traditional food (at least i dont think so) but yeah
Prekmurska gibanica is so good but it affects ur health a lot so
