On Palm Sunday, the last Lazarus custom is performed - "Kumichene".
Before noon, all the lazars head to the river. Each girl carries a bunch of flowers, a willow wreath, or a small loaf of bread called a "doll." The girls line up next to each other along the bank or on a bridge over the river and simultaneously release the bunch, wreath, or loaf of bread. The girl whose wreath or loaf is carried away by the water the fastest and comes out first is chosen as the "godmother" or "godmother" of the lazars.
From that moment on, she becomes an object of special respect and honor from the other girls. On the third day of Easter, the godmother invites all the Lazar girls to her home and treats them to banitsa and red Easter eggs.
