Bulgaria Honors Famed Clairvoyant Baba Vanga – August 7th will mark the 15th anniversary of Vanga’s death and scores are expected to gather at the “Rupite” site in Bulgaria’s southwestern town of Petrich, sometimes referred to as the Jerusalem of the Balkans. Each year, the crowds include not only Bulgarian intellectuals, artists and common Bulgarian people, but pilgrims from all over the world, sometimes as far as China.
