Ancient fire dancing survives in Bulgarian mountains

Ilieva was sceptical about the prophecy but decided to give it a try."I crossed the fire several times and got no scorches at all but thought it was by chance. Only the drum echoes primitively across the mountains.The nestinars dance around the circle, carrying icons and then suddenly walk through the fire. Their feet sometimes touch lightly and sometimes press down in hard circular motions, crossing the coals until they put down the blaze.Their faces are pale and their eyes half-closed. Then you will not feel the heat," added the 57-year-old retired librarian.DESTINED TO FIREDANCESome 13 years ago, Ilieva had a vision of an elderly woman who told her she will become a fire dancer.
