Female students from Midwife
specialty at MU-Varna congratulated the Management of the University, their
lecturers and the teams of the Specialized Hospitals of Gynecology and
Obstetrics and departments in the Sea capital on the occasion of 21st
January - the Day of Maternity Care. Future midwives, dressed in national
costumes, enacted the tradition of the holiday Babinden (Midwife’s Day), celebrated
for centuries on end on the Bulgarian lands. In the past, on that day people
used to pay homage to the elderly women who helped young mothers at childbirth
and served as midwives. Today, by an ancient Bulgarian custom, the students
decorated everybody with a bunch of geranium and exclaimed: "Let kids frolic
around and become white and red! As many leaves on the trees, so many boys in the
homes, as many snowdrops on the meadows so many little girls to be born."
“Happy holiday to everybody - to
those who have a professional or just personal reason and to those who are
going to have a reason to celebrate it in the near future! I wish to all of us
to be healthy and full of life - all of us, our families, our children, our
grandchildren. I want to tell our students that we are really proud of you. I’m
thankful that you exactly are our students not only for your capability of working
hard every day, but also because you are able to respect the Bulgarian
traditions and holidays and your lecturers, the way you did today," said
Assoc. Prof. Mutafova - Dean of the Faculty of Public Health.
