A masked Bulgarian dancer takes part in the second competition day of the 24th International Festival of Masquerade Games "Surva" in the town of Pernik, Bulgaria Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015. Some 5,000 people are expected to take part in the three-day festival devoted to an ancient Bulgarian pagan rite. Surva is performed by costumed men, some in sheepskin, or other colorful garments, bells and masks, who walk around and dance to scare away the evil spirits, in hope to provide a good harvest, health, fertility, and happiness.
