Qualcuno può dirmi perché metti i morti sull’ingresso di costruzione? Questo edificio ne aveva 6 e ho capito che sono morti per un po ‘di tempo …

Good question…
Back in the 90’s we had some friends visit Bulgaria and they asked “what’s with all the wanted posters?” 😂
It’s to remember the people that have passed on, usually you will see these posters on family doors. I know I have one on my front door of my late mother.
You could see them out in the streets as well. Or well… the town I am from has them.
This practice is a way to honor the memory of the departed and to inform the wider community, allowing friends, neighbors, and acquaintances to pay their respects
that’s where those people used to live, it’s so people who didn’t know of their passing find out and those who were close to them are reminded of them every time
It’s an old tradition. Before we had phones and internet, that’s how people were notified of a person’s passing outside their close circles. They would put these around places that the person often visited.
Instead of putting an obituary in the paper, people do these. They are not as widespread anymore and are more as a remembrance thing nowdays.
It’s how we initially announce the death of a person so others would know when and where the funeral is or commemorate their passing on the 3, 6, 12 months etc.
It’s a slavic tradition, though many slavic countries have moved past that or do some other variation.
Personally I find it annoying as they’re everywhere and nobody bothers to remove them. Place one temporarily where the person lived or at the cemetary, but not throughout the city/village like many do.
As an addon question from another foreigner: Is there an etiquette on removing these? I always find it somewhat poetic when those start fading out just like memories of the departed. But then again I’ve seen villages where the amount of these in some central place is staggering, as if they’re being collected on purpose almost.
What others said. But I don’t like the tradition, it’s just ugly and depressing to have those all over walls/trees/objects.
To judge you even from the afterlife.
There are sometimes on trees as well.
it’s how we show respect to the dead. it’s not mandatory but it’s rather popular.
A tradition that will hopefully be left behind more and more with each passing year, it’s just another part of bulgarian culture being ‘obsessed’ with the dead and not being able to let go of them for good, when they pass. But that’s a whole other conversation for a different time.
commemoration, usually on doors though
“WANTED” posters
These are the people who are actively avoiding paying any taxes.
It’s a tradition around here. I’m one of like 5 bulgarians who hate it, but since everyone else disagrees it’s not going away any time soon.
I never understood it either + as a kid it always ruined my vibe seeing dead people everywhere and ppl saying they are sad and shit. And the worst part is nobody cares but its some weird thing to feel guilty if you dont do it. Its like those chain letters you gotta do it the day the person died the after 40 days have passed then 3 months, then 6 months, then 1 year and after that its yearly
Бекауз итс чепар тис веи ху гиф а фук мен аре у крази.
It’s an obituary
