Lag B'Omer and other firey traditions



In preparation for the Jewish Lag B'Omer holiday we have been preparing our bonfire but unfortunately the last two afternoons have seen heavy downpours of rain which literally put the dampers on our campfire plans.... so we have postponed our little bonfire till the first opportunity once the firewood dries out a bit.






Interestingly, Bulgaria has had it's own very interesting fire-festival called Nestinarstvo this weekend which I understand is celebrated mainly in the south-east. It involves walking over burning coals . Here's a link to a video clip that I came across on youtube.
