The feast is connected with bathing of the children and giving presents to the midwife (the traditional word in Bulgarian is baba, same as grandmother) as a sign of gratitude that she assisted the young woman when giving birth to her child.
After the traditional ritual the so called “Grandmothers’ horo” takes place in the town square with the grannies carring their grandchildren-babies and singing traditional songs without accompaniment.
The feast is celebrated on January 21-st around noon in the center of Razlog.
