Revelers perform during the carnival parade in the village of Vevcani, in the southwestern part of North Macedonia, on Friday, January 13, 2023. In its fourteen century-old tradition, the Vevcani carnival is always held on Orthodox St. Basil's day, marking the beginning of the New Year by the Julian calendar. The participants in the carnival find an inspiration for their masks in old pagan beliefs and rituals, while some of the masks are based on political and social events, but in a satirical context.
