IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN

-

Bulgarian men perform the traditiona­l “Horo” dance in the icy winter waters of the Tundzha river in the town of Kalofer, as part of Epiphany Day celebratio­ns on Jan. 6. As a tradition, an Eastern Orthodox priest throws a cross in the river and it is believed that the one who retrieves it will be healthy throughout the year as well as all water dancers.
