Rosalian ora – Macedonian male folk dances associated with the Rosalian custom. Are performed over the so-called. Days of the dead, which last from Christmas to Dueven. The dances are actually a charity group that play in front of family village houses, all equipped with wooden sabbies in the hands, except the Baltan, which is in the center of the orcity semicircle and manages playing, holding Baltia (a kind of axper) in one hand. Ora is played in a semicircle, with lowered hands, without the Me-funnica (milk) roslies, Gevgelija Gavain. Start at a slow pace, and ultimately accelerate. During playing, the Ces players sharply swing, believing that they persecute the evil spirits and reclaim the dead. It is interesting and their turn around its axis, with simultaneous hitting with the sites. They are accompanied by Zurlation Timita.
