Sweet Celebration

In Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria, people celebrate the day of St. Charalambos, protector of beekeepers. Tables in the formation of a cross are covered in jars of honey waiting to be blessed. It is thought that honey blessed during this festival becomes a powerful cure. This photo was submitted to Your Shot, our photo community on Instagram.
