Thousands Bulgarians Hail the Sunrise Hippy-Style on July Morning

by Sofia News Agency www.novinite.com
Thousands young people gathered at Kamen Bryag village on the Black Sea coast, the traditional location for the hippy-style celebration of hailing the sunrise, known as July Morning. The tradition dates back to the hippy period in the 1970s and 1980s and originated as a protest against the restrictions of the communist regime. Nowadays this meaning is lost but the sun worship as a symbol of a new beginning in life motivates young people to keep the tradition alive. As the name suggests, the anthem of the celebrations is British rock band Uriah Heep's 1972 hit July Morning. This year July Morning was marked with a concert of Uriah Heep vocals John Walden and Bulgarian rock band BTR. The tradition begs for associations with the sun worship of Peter Dunov followers, who hail the sunrise at the Hill of Prayers in the Rila mountian, which they consider to be a divine mystery.
