We celebrate Tzvetnitza or Palm Sunday too. Exactly the same customs (gifting the people named after flowers and going to church with flowers and willow twigs).
I love the celebration of St. Lazarus' day. It is so nice to see young people following traditions. Hopefully they will do the same for a very long time. 🙂

Thank you for this beautiful and... cultural entry, my dear. I like when I have the opportunity to learn new things about my friends' culture.
