Georgi Kostadinov from the Men’s Dance in Kalofer died at the age of only 49. The sad news was announced on Facebook.

On January 6, we celebrate Jordan’s Day. This is the day on which John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ in the Jordan River. After the sacrament of the Epiphany, people saw with their own eyes the Christian trinity of Father (voice), Spirit (the dove perched on the shoulder of Christ) and Son (earthly man) and began to believe, so the day is also called – Epiphany. In Kalofer is already busy preparing for the holiday. All hotels and guest houses are occupied not only in the city, but also in the surrounding settlements.

“A green certificate will not be required for the participants in the dance. We are all in the open and we will try to comply with the measures as much as possible “, said the mayor of the town Rumen Stoyanov.
