EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Oleg Popov, children in the village of Lozen near Sofia are seen joyfully spinning rings of fire during a ritual celebration known as Sirni Zagovezni. The event takes place on the first Sunday before Great Lent and holds significant cultural and religious importance for the people in this region of Bulgaria. The image showcases the vibrant energy and enthusiasm displayed by these young participants as they engage in age-old traditions believed to ward off evil spirits. Against a backdrop of darkness, their fiery circles create a mesmerizing spectacle that illuminates both their faces and the atmosphere around them. Sirni Zagovezni is deeply rooted in local beliefs, where community members come together to celebrate unity, faith, and protection from malevolent forces. Through these fire rituals, passed down through generations, they seek spiritual purification while embracing their heritage. Popov's photograph beautifully captures not only the intense flames but also the innocence and wonderment reflected on each child's face. It serves as a reminder of how ancient customs continue to thrive amidst modern times – preserving culture while fostering a sense of belonging within communities. This poignant snapshot encapsulates both tradition and resilience; it invites viewers into an enchanting world where folklore intertwines with spirituality under starlit skies.
