Serbian Orthodox Christmas Eve - Badnje veče
www.anenglishmaninthebalkans.com
It's quite a chilly and frosty morning on 6th January, here in the village.
The sounds of vehicle horns have been echoing for a few hours now (it's 0900 at the moment) across the valley. There is a convoy progressing through every hamlet in my immediate area, and this short video shows it passing our house.
The area I live in is predominantly Serbian Orthodox, and today, for the Serbian Church, it is Christmas Eve, or Badnje veče.
