About 3 kilometers from Albena is one of the most revered places of pilgrimage on the Bulgarian northern coast, the Arat-Teke Monastery, visited by both Christians and Muslims. Founded 500 years ago, the monastery apparently originally served as the residence of the Muslim order of dervishes. The main shrine of the monastery is a tomb with a sarcophagus of one "giant": its dimensions are 4.45 m in length and more than 2 m in width. Muslims say that Ak Yazala Baba is buried here, whom they revere as a saint and patron of livestock. For Christians, this is the burial place of St. Atanasia, also the protector of domestic animals. The once very colorful frescoes on the walls of the tomb are almost faded today, nothing remains of the carpets that covered the floor. But around the sarcophagus and on it are sacrificial gifts. There are many clothes and rags among them, through which magical power must pass to the donors.
