<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 9498090, member: 78949&quot;]OBB, very interesting and nice habit, thank you for sharing! </p><p><br /></p><p>Here in the past babies (both girls and boys) were given a small golden Ottoman coin for good luck, and also a small blue bead to protect them from bad eyes, but after the communists came, these traditions were abandoned as superstitious and not compatible with the new morale. Babies here were not even baptised during communist times, it was not officially forbidden but could lead to undesirable consequences so people either did not do it or did it secretly and without much noise about it. After 1990 people started reviving the old traditions but very slowly and not at the extent they used to be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
