Braving cold temperatures and fog, hundreds dressed in white gathered near Bulgaria's Kidney Lake, 2,280 meters above sea level, for a unique annual celebration of the divine new year.
The event is organized by the Universal White Brotherhood, a society blending Christianity and Indian mysticism, founded by Bulgarian spiritual teacher Peter Deunov in the 1920s. The group promotes harmony and a connection to cosmic energy.
Participants like Pascale, a 70-year-old former air stewardess, consider this ritual a rejuvenating experience and a personal civic service. They believe the society's name reflects the soul's purity and promotes living in harmony.
