On Saint John`s Feast Day, bachelors and carol singers “bathed” three sons-in-law: Plamen Panayotov, Krustan Nikiforov and Kaloyan Giurov. Before the ritual the young men gathered together to warm up with mulled wine and brandy. Then they were all delighted and in high spirits and enjoyed the folklore songs, performed by the musicians. As usual, the “bathing” was a real spectacle and everyone had fun.
