The 'Bushos' recall this tradition yearly, and at the same time they say nd put on farewell to winter.

During the Turkish war the local people wanted to get back their homes, occupied by the Turks. They dressed in scary furs and put on frightful masques, and frightened the Turks to death, who all escaped from the dreadful devils. In spite of all efforts Hungary was occupied by the Turks and had been under the rule of the sultans for 150 years. The 'Bushos' recall this tradition yearly, and at the same time they say farewell to winter.
