Snow Pictures

Today was Yordan Imen Den or Jordan name day as I went for a walk to the church for a blessing and then to the River Tundzha where there was the ceremony of diving into the ice cold waters to retrieve a cross thrown in by the priest. I had to wait two hours in freezing weather and continuous snow fall for this event to happen. I survived, but my rechargeable batteries in my camera didn't like the below freezing temperatures and gave up on me. Hence no photographs of the swimmers in the river.
