On today's St. Paraskeva's Day - the patron saint of Ravda and patron of the local church, one of our most popular Black Sea villages will celebrate its feast day. 

The day begins with a traditional solemn liturgy in the Church of St. Paraskeva, where the faithful will receive communion for health and strength. The most anticipated event will be the concert of the legendary rock and new wave band "Tangra", followed by a fireworks show. 
The seaside resort of Ravda has several beautiful beach coves that stretch all the way to neighboring Nessebar. It is a popular place for a relaxing family holiday.
