(VOV) -In the first few days of spring, Dao ethnic minority people in Nam Det commune, Lao Cai province, hold a fire dancing festival to pray for health and prosperity in the New Year.
This is a unique spiritual culture of the Dao people which has been preserved until now.
The festival begins with the sorcerer’s ritual |
Listening to the sorcerer, these young men are poised to jump over the coal fire |
The fire breaks out but it does not affect the dancers |
They passionately performed an exciting dance over the flame |
They dance on their bare feet |
Amazingly dancers’ feet are not burned after the show |
