On the windy surfaces of Bulgaria's Rila Mountain, followers of the White Brotherhood gather for a unique, annual cosmic ritual.
According to the teachings of Petar Danov, the founder of the brotherhood, the 19 August marks the beginning of the New Year.
That leads these followers to converge on this wide mountain plateau, around 2,100 metres (6,900 feet) above sea level.
Through a mixture of rhythmic meditation exercises and spiritual songs, they celebrate the passing of the summer season and the beginning of a new year.
The highlight of the day is this so-called "paneurhythmy" dance, a ritual which sees thousands of pilgrims form large concentric circles.
It's intended to symbolise the movement of the stars and planets.
In groups of two, performers move in circles, following the rhythm of the music.
One participant, 45-year-old professional dance instructor Nantika Verkooijen Lopez from Peru, is attending the "paneurhythmy" for the first time.
Having performed the dance in her native country for years, she's delighted to finally take part in Bulgaria.
"Well, this is a cosmic celebration for me. It's (the) first time I'm here and I danced the Paneurytmya already for five years in Peru. I teach the Paneurythmya in Peru," says Nantika.
"It is a very precious dance. It's a light dance and it means a lot for the world, for the humanity, for the new world. So, for me it is a combination of meditation and dance and happiness and singing and altogether it's marvellous."
Sometimes - such as this year - followers can face unpleasant weather at these altitudes, but they must ignore the sweeping wind and rain to complete the ritual.
Followers believe mountains are a symbol of the divine world, and Rila Mountain in southern Bulgaria is said to energise worshippers with spiritual powers.
White Brotherhood followers place a heavy emphasis on brotherly love, a healthy diet and living in harmony with nature.
"Happy Holidays to everyone. Today we celebrate the new divine year," says Angela Angelova, a German language teacher and Paneurhythmy instructor.
"We celebrate it with this wonderful divine dance of light - Paneurhythmy. Paneurhythmy is sacred.
"In the circle of Paneurhythmy we step in with a sacred awe, because we know that Paneurhythmy means higher cosmic rhythm.
"Playing Paneurhythmy helps us to enter into harmony with that supreme cosmic rhythm and becoming fellow workers, God's servants and workers of light."
The "paneurhythmy" - which means universal cosmic rhythm - lasts for around one hour and takes place at sun rise.
Music is played on various instruments, but priority is given to the violin.
"We play Paneurhythmy here, this is a sacred dance, a meditation in a motion," explains a 65-year-old musician, Petar Ganev.
"You can see it here, the way we formed concentric circles, symbolising the Sun. Our aim is to reach to the cosmic rhythm of our Solar system."
Now over 100-years-old, the White Brotherhood movement has survived challenging times. It was banned under Bulgaria's communist regime.

Lyrics:
Bless the Lord, my soul, and bless God's holy name.
Bless the Lord, my soul, who leads me into life. (Ps 104,1)
Solo (from Psalm 103):
Lobe den Herrn, meine Seele,
und vergiß nicht, was er dir Gutes getan.
As the heavens are high above the earth,
so is God's way above our ways, so is God's love for us.
Bénissez le Seigneur, toutes ses œuvres,
bénissez le Seigneur tous ses anges.

Let us praise God who has created and redeemed us, and will save us by his mercy alone. (St Francis of Assisi)
Lodiamo Dio che ci ha creato e redento, e con la suo sola misericordia ci salverà. (S. Francesco d'Assisi)

Music: Taizé
Justifie-moi, mon Dieu, défends ma cause
Contre des gens sans pitié ;
De l'homme perfide et pervers,
Seigneur, délivre-moi.
Envoie ta lumière et ta vérité :
Qu'elles soient mon guide
Et me ramènent vers ta sainte montagne,
Au lieu de ta demeure.
Et j'irai vers l'autel du Seigneur,
Près du Dieu de la joie.
J'exulterai, je te louerai sur la harpe,
Seigneur mon Dieu.
Qu'as-tu, mon âme, à défaillir,
A gémir sur moi ?
Espère en Dieu : je le louerai encore,
Mon Sauveur et mon Dieu !
---
Grant me justice, O God;
defend me from a faithless people;
from the deceitful and unjust rescue me.
Send your light and your fidelity,
that they may be my guide;
Let them bring me to your holy mountain,
to the place of your dwelling,
That I may come to the altar of God,
to God, my joy, my delight.
Then I will praise you with the harp,
O God, my God.
Why are you downcast, my soul?
Why do you groan within me?
Wait for God, for I shall again praise him,
my savior and my God.
---
Iudica me, Deus, et discerne causam meam
de gente non sancta;
ab homine iniquo et doloso erue me.
Emitte lucem tuam et veritatem tuam;
ipsae me deducant et adducant
in montem sanctum tuum et in tabernacula tua.
Et introibo ad altare Dei,
ad Deum laetitiae exsultationis meae.
Confitebor tibi in cithara, Deus, Deus meus.
Quare tristis es, anima mea, et quare conturbaris in me?
Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi,
salutare vultus mei et Deus meus.
Composed by Jacques Berthier.

Dieu lui-meme donne le bonheur et notre terre donne son fruit
Ta complaisance, Seigneur, est pour ta terre,
tu fais revenit les captifs de Jacob ;
tu leves les torts de ton peuple,
tu couvres touta sa faute.
N'est-ce pas toi qui revines nous vivifier ?
et ton peuple en toi se rejouit ;
fais-nous voir, Seigneur, ton amour :
que nous soit donne ton salut !
J'ecout : que dit le Seigneur ?
Ce que dit le Seigneur, c'est la paix,
la paix pur son peuple, ses amis,
ceux qui reviennent a lui de tout coeur.
Proche est son salut pout qui l'adore
et la gloire habitera notre terre.
Amour et verite se rencontrent,
justice et paix s'embrassent ;
verite germera de la terre
et des cieux se penchera la justice.
Dieu lui-meme donne le bonheur
et notre terre donne son fruit ;
justice marchera devant lui
et paix sur la trace de ses pas.

Save us while we are awake, Lord, protect us wile we sleep. That awake we may keep watch with Christ and rest with him in peace.
Sauve-nous, Seigneur, quand nous veillons ; garde-nous quand nous dormons : nous veillerons avec le Christ, et nous reposerons en paix.
Sei unser Heil, o Herr, wenn wir wachen, und unser Schutz, wenn wir schlafen; damit wir wachen mit Christus und ruhen in seinem Frieden.
Sálvanos, Señor, despiertos, protégenos mientras dormimos, para que velemon con Cristo y descansemos en paz.
Salva nos, Dómine, vigilántes, custódi nos dormiéntes, ut vigilémus cum Christo et requiescámus in pace.

Lyrics: Dieu ne peut que donner son amour, notre Dieu est tendresse! Dieu est tendresse. Die qui pardonne.
Elle coûte aux yeus du Seigneur, la mort de ses amis.
J'ai foi ! lors même que je dis :
je suis trop malheureux !
j'en etais a dire en mon trouble :
l'homme n'est que mensonge !
Comment rendrai-je au Seigneur
tout le bien qu'il m'a fait ?
J’élèverai la coupe du salut
en invoquant le nom de Dieu.
Elle coûte aux yeus du Seigneur,
la mort de ses amis ;
moi, ton serviteur, fils de ta servante,
tu défais mes liens.
Je t'offrirai le sacrifice d'action de grâce
en invoquant le nom de Dieu.
Je marcherai en presance du Seigneur
sur la terre des vivants.
J'accomplirai mes voeux envers Dieu,
que tout son peuple soit présent,
dans les parvis de la masion du Seigneur,
dans tes murs, Jérusalem !
O Jésus, ma joie,
que Dieu nous envoie,
soutien de nos vies.
Si dans nos détresses
en nous tout se blesse,
ton amour guérit.
Dans nos cœurs est ton bonheur,
chaque jour tu nous éclaires
et tu nous libères.
L'amour du Seigneur à jamais je le chante, d'âge en âge ma parole annonce ta vérité.
I will sing for ever of your love, O Lord, through all ages my mouth will proclaim your truth.
O ljubavi Gospodnjoj pjevat ću dovijeka, kroza sva koljena vjernost ću tvoju naviještati.
Canterò senza fine le grazie del Signore, con la mia bocca annunzierò la tua fedeltà nei secoli,
Misericordias Domini in aeternum cantabo; in generationem et generationem annuntiabo veritatem tuam in ore meo.
Cantaré eternamente el amor del Señor, proclamaré tu fidelidad por todas las generaciones.
我要永永遠遠歌詠上主的恩寵，要世世代代親口稱揚你的忠誠。
(Ps 89, 2)

L'amour du Seigneur à jamais je le chante, d'âge en âge ma parole annonce ta vérité.
Les cieux rendent grâce pour ta merveille, Seigneur, pour ta vérité, dans l'assemblée des saints. D'âge en âge.
Seigneur, Dieu Sabaot, qui est comme toi? Seigneur puissant, que ta vérité entoure! D'âge en âge.
Justice et Droit sont l'appui de ton trône, Amour et Vérité marchent devant ta face. D'âge en âge.
Gloire au Père, et au Fils, et au Saint-Esprit. L'amour.
