Counts reflect the Atlas catalogue. A link may represent a recording, a publication or an association with a local tradition.
North Macedonia’s Atlas page has separate entries for Marko’s stones near Skopje and for the martinka custom. One ties a hero’s game to the landscape, the other marks spring’s arrival with a thread people wear.
