Macedonian Ohrid Pearls

Another exquisite postcard from Macedonia, this one shows the beautiful Ohrid Pearls. Also shown are men, women and children in various daily activities, wearing their traditional costumes.

Macedonian Cuisine

This delicious card shows us examples of traditional cuisine in Macedonia. The sender has explained the recipe of her favorite out of these, which is the second image. It is prepared by rubbing pieces of bread with garlic and olive oil, and grilling it in oven. Later, grate cheese over it and serve. Simple and delicious!I wish I knew what the rest of the dishes were. The women in the last picture are wearing their traditional clothes.

Macedonian Folklore

The card shows many forms of the Macedonian traditional dance 'Oro'. Their traditional clothes are extremely unique as well. Oro is performed by both men and women holding their hands; and dancing in a circle. They are generally performed during happy and joyous occasions such as marriage etc.
