In April and May the visitors of the Strelcha Historical Museum will have the opportunity to get acquainted with the traditions connected with the Easter holiday cycle through the exhibition A Fine Easter, a Finer St. George’s Day. 
As visitors move through the exhibition, they will learn when the Easter cycle starts and which holidays mark its beginning. The exhibition introduces the customs observed on Lazarovden (Lazarus Saturday) and Tsvetnitsa (Palm Sunday), as well as the detailed preparations for one of the most important and popular Christian holidays in Bulgaria - Easter.
