Artwork Description:   Bulgarian lady Characteristic pagan Bulgarian rite, during which young girls dance bare feet on live coals. This custom is one of a kind. In my picture the �Nestinarka� /the way of calling those girls/, carries an icon of the Virgin Mary with the newborn Jesus. The symbolic representation of the national spirit, combined with the faith in good and the trust in tradition. Spirit and substance. Dance on a glowing ember.
