Bulgaria is a unique country and unique customs have been practiced here for centuries. In this article, we present 5 customs that are unique to Bulgaria. Here they are:<\/p>\n

1. Swimming in icy cold waters<\/h4>\n

St. Jordan's Day is a holiday associated with the custom in which all willing men, provided they are bachelors, dive into the waters of a nearby river, lake or pool and struggle to pick up the cross thrown by the priest. The waters are icy cold because the holiday is celebrated on January 6, right in the middle of winter in Bulgaria. The idea that a group of brave Bulgarian men decided to suffer physical discomfort in the name of the most sacred - the cross - is more than eloquent. This Bulgarian custom, preserved over the centuries, is a mirror for the unshakable spirit of Bulgarian men!<\/p>\n
