Kardjali_01-06_60

A Bulgarian tradition of putting posters of the deceased on trees, poles, buildings, doors, and other flat surfaces.
These posters are put up at increments between the time the person dies and until all memory of them fades.
I have seen some remembering people who died as long as 25 years ago. They are put up but rarely taken down out of respect for the dead.
They have been jokingly referred to by some, (certainly not by me) as "Wanted Posters".
