BULGARIA-RELIGION-NATURE

TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY DIANA SIMEONOVA Members of an international religious movement called the White Brotherhood perform ritual dance on the top of the Rila Mountain, near Babreka lake, on August 19, 2015. Over 1,500 pilgrims gathered today high in Bulgaria's Rila mountains to mark their "spiritual" new year with a collective meditative dance they believe connects them to cosmic rhythms and beats the blues. The teaching of the movement, whose founder is Bulgarian Peter Deunov, combines aspects of Christianity and Hinduism with a heavy emphasis on brotherly love, a healthy diet and living in harmony with nature.
