The culmination of the evening is the most exciting and unique ritual performed only in Bulgaria – Fire dancing. The so called “walking on coals with bare feet” is a pagan ritual performed by the ancient Thracians. They believed that the burning fire chases evil spirits, illness and misfortune and it has purifying and healing powers. According to an old tradition the Fire dancers carry ill people through the ashes and they magically got healthy.
