Revellers dressed in red, some wearing huge masks and belts strung with large copper bells, danced around a fire on the main square of a Bulgarian village on Sunday to drive away evil spirits and bring in good health and crops for the New Year.
The festival, held every January in the village of Kosharevo, is known as "Surva" and is a mixture of Christian and pagan rituals that can be traced back to Thracian times.
During the two-day festival, the village, 50 km west of the capital Sofia, is brimming with life as extended families gather to greet the Survakars and offer them traditional dishes.
