Description
Hundreds of Orthodox Christians gather at Bachkovo Monastery in southern Bulgaria on Easter Monday for an annual religious procession, featuring the icon of the Virgin Mary. The procession, which stretches from the monastery to the mountain cave where the icon was discovered, is believed to be the oldest in the country. Devotees believe that the icon's healing power is strongest on this day, and that touching it brings health and happiness to them and their families. IMAGES
