The dervishes of Prizren

Kosovo

Sultani Nevruz: the birthday of Imam Ali and the first day of spring.

 

The dervishes descend the way of Sufism among powerfull choirs and spiritual tribulations. But the blades are real.

 

These dervishes belong to the Rufaj Tariqa, one of the numerous brotherhood of Prizren. To show their faith and the power of the Sheikh, they will perform faqiri rites.

More than spectacular, it's indeed a great act of faith in God.
