On January 6, Epiphany, Bulgarians celebrate 177 years since the birth of poet and revolutionary Hristo Botev. On this occasion, the atmosphere in Kalofer - Botev's hometown, is special, Dimitar Vladimirov from Radio Plovdiv has reported.
The day began with the traditional men's horo dance for Epiphany in the cold waters of the Tundzha River.
