August 22 is a special day for Baktashi Muslims, a smaller sect of muslim people that live mostly in the Balkans. The very religious ones come to the city of Berat, Albania on that day to climb Mt. Tomorri and have sacrifices on top. It is to mourn the day of one of their leaders deaths, who is now buried on Mt. Tommori.
