Unique Moments

NESTINARSTVO - old Bulgarian custom, ritual dancing on embers, mystical religious sacrament, rooted in the distant times of paganism.
Under the fantastic musical rhythm of drums and bagpipes, the Nestinars - fire dancers, dance barefoot on burning embers and sprayed fire sparks that illuminate their ritual dance. A mysterious, mystical mood at present. All though they are possessed by the magic of the dancing Nestinars, the feeling of unreality and immateriality, for union with God.

Playing theyr fire dance, the Nestinars dancers, seemed overwhelmed by some unearthly force of God, soliciting health, luck, fertility and peace for the present.
To see the Nestinar fire dance is indescribable feeling – it must be personal experience, to feel with all your being the power of faith and to merge with the cosmic expanse.
