Jeremiah, Holy Prophet Jeremiah - May 1:
St. the prophet Jeremiah preached to the Jews the coming of Christ during the Babylonian bondage.
On this day, according to belief, rites for the expulsion of snakes and lizards from the homes should be performed once more. They are the same as the Annunciation. In addition to the rattling of iron dilafs (snakes), snakes are chased with an additional rite called the tern. A pottery soil or huma is worn early in the morning and poured into the middle of the yard. It is mixed with water and then each is barefoot in the mud. It is believed that after this rite, humans will not accidentally occur snakes and become invulnerable to their bites.
St. George's Day, St. George the Victorious - May 6:
St. martyr George the Victorious was born in Cappadocia to a family of noble parents. In military service he reached a high rank - a military tribune (commission). It was cut to the faith of Christ in 288.
The icons depict heroically - a horseman with a sacristy, killing a spear-headed llama with a spear, resulting in prosperity for farmers and shepherds. That is why the people accept him as the patron saint of flocks. For this, all the farmers slaughtered in his honor a lamb for the turban - a sacrifice of the patron saint who is eaten with the wish: "Help St. George."
On St. George's Day, wreaths of vivid flowers are made of twigs, which are wrapped with a red thread on a stick of mulberry, pear or apple, cut early in the morning along with the leaves. They are sprinkled with water and allowed to stay overnight in the garden in the garden. Separately, prepare another wrist, which is placed in the boiler or bucket, which will bring the colored water to mix the ritual Gergy breads and cakes. In the evening against St. George's Day, everyone lights one candle on the door of all the buildings: the basket, the winterhouse, the barn, the house, and at each candle a stalk of nettle and a branch of hawthorn are placed. In the evening, when they lie down, they also put a hawthorn under the pillow to be early in the day and not to sleep. The first time he woke up in the morning with a sting of nettles, he began to cheat the feet of others to be nimble and attentive to everything. On this day, women swipe their heads with a nettle branch and a hawthorn branch.
On the evening of the feast, the shepherds separate the lambs from the sheep and early in the morning take the herd of grazing with a green stick. Upon their return, the ritual milking of the sheep begins. The bucket is decorated with a wreath of flowers and foliage and tied with red thread. Women bake bread with a hole, which is also put on the bucket. After milking, the shepherd raises the bread, sprinkles a little milk on the egg and buries it in a hole in the pen. It is believed that it will protect the flock of magic and disease. Finally the bread is broken and given to the sheep.
The second important moment of the feast is the lamb's knees, which are sacrificed to the patron saint. It must be the first male lamb born, preferably white. Before it is slaughtered, it is garnished with a St. George's neck wreath and a candle on the right horn. It is consecrated by a priest or by the oldest person in the house by smoking with incense.
The lamb also drives from it. He is bare-headed, facing east. Particular attention is paid to the knee site. This happens either at home by the fire or at the east wall of the house. Before the sacrifice is made, the lamb is given salt licks, rubs and a bite of grass.
The blood of the lamb plays an important role in popular belief. It is believed to have a protective force. The blood is illuminated and with it they make a cross sign on the forehead and cheeks of young children so that they do not catch bad eyes. Grease the upper threshold of the front door of the houses or the corners of the rooms against magic and disease.
Cleaned, washed, directed and filled, the lamb is baked in a pot in a domestic oven. Then a common table is made in the churchyard, attended by all: old and young, men and women. Each family brings bread, lamb, a glass of wine and fresh cheese. They are arranged on a long colorful flesh on the ground. The priest passes the entire table and reads the prayer. He first cuts the bread and the lamb and feast begins. In the end, each farmer collects all the lamb bones and buries them in an anthill, so that the sheep are born like ants. He can also throw them in the river - "to run milk like water."
From the morning of St. George every boy and girl are necessarily swinging on the swings, hung on green tree, to protect themselves during the year from great obstacles and dangers, from ammunition and kites. If it rains that day, everyone goes out to bathe or wash their eyes with this water because it is healing. And for the fields they say, "Every drop brings forth a yolk." Every farmer goes in the morning to his field, sown with grain. He walks her around and buries her in the middle of the Easter egg that is preserved from Easter and tears off a stalk that she takes home.
Suitable dishes for the feast are: St. George's roast lamb, stuffed shoulder for St. George's day, roasted lamb cheverme.
German, St. German Constantinople - May 12:
St. Herman was the Patriarch of Constantinople. After fierce battles with iconoclasts, he left the patriarchal throne. He died in 729.
There are some rituals that are thought to prevent hail. Nobody goes to work in the field that day. The special rite is called German. Only girls who make ritual bread in the form of a doll or a mud-like idol resemble a man. Above all, they perform all the rituals and customs, like a dead person. It is believed that this will protect the village and the hail field.
A similar rite, called the Butterfly, is also performed in the summer when there is no rain and the sowing is threatened with burning, drying and fire.
Nestinari, Holy Apostles Constantine and Helena - May 21:
St. King Constantine and his mother Elena have no special ordinances and customs to be performed in their honor in large numbers.
The only exception is some villages in Burgas that celebrate this day with a rite. During the day, a chief nurse is selected. Then everyone goes to church and begins to pray in front of the icon of St. Constantine. It is believed that they receive from him the spiritual strength that they will then need under the so-called. Nesting Horo. It becomes the evening of the village square on a burning heat. The choir beats the Nestinarian Tupan, which stands next to the icon of St. Constantine throughout the year and is called the Holy Tupan. The Nestinarian Bistro is played, in which the faces of the Nestinarians change and show that they have fallen into some sort of inexplicable ecstasy today. They go barefoot one by one into the embers, go out and extinguish the mud prepared by the fire. Entry does not happen at the same time, but only when ecstasy encompasses them. During the dance in the fire, some of the nestinars make a mark, the music stops and then one of them begins to predict the future.
Then they go to the church and bring back the icon of St. Constantine and the dummy in their place. They send the chief nostinarian home. The next day they gather for a big meal.
May 24 - Day of Slavic Enlightenment and Culture:
May 24 is one of the brightest Bulgarian national holidays. On this date we celebrate the Day of Slavic Enlightenment and Culture. This is a holiday that has been celebrated for the longest time in our recent history. The Day of the Holy Brothers Cyril and Methodius, the creators of the Slavic alphabet, was celebrated as a church holiday (May 11) even before the 12th century, but was first celebrated as National Day of Enlightenment in 1851. Letters Day is a special date for all of us. And no matter where one is, one must keep the memory of the cheerful atmosphere on this bright May day.
Cyril and Methodius
Cyril and Methodius were born in Thessaloniki (present-day Greece). Methodius - in 810 AD, and his brother Cyril - in 827 AD. Nowadays, only major events in their lives are preserved. The two brothers are descended from a large family. Their father, named Leo, was a high-ranking military governor and their mother's name was Maria.
Due to the early demise of Leo, the care of the two brothers takes over their uncle, Theoctistus, a senior statesman of the Byzantine Empire. Over the years, the two brothers have been educated and established the authority of respected and respected personalities. Cyril became a teacher at the Magnaur School, and Methodius was appointed Abbot at Polychron Monastery.
Around 855 Constantine-Cyril the Philosopher created the oldest Bulgarian alphabet - the Glagolitic alphabet. Chernorizets Hrabar's "Tale of Letters" testifies to this. It marked the beginning of the great educational and literary work of Cyril and Methodius. The two brothers set out to promote Slavic Christianity in Greater Moravia. They translate the most necessary liturgical books from Greek into Old Bulgarian and thus lay the foundations of Old Bulgarian literary language.
Cyril died in Italy on February 14, 896 and is buried in the Basilica of St. Clement in Rome. After the death of his brother, Methodius continued to spread Slavic script until his last breath on April 6, 885.
At the end of the ninth century, the two brothers were canonized by the Church for Saints.
The students
The work of Cyril and Methodius is continued by their students Kliment, Naum, Angelarius, Gorazd and Sava, who, coming to Bulgaria, find support for their cause by the Bulgarian Tsar Boris I. Thus the Ohrid and Preslav Literary Schools were established. As a result of the educational and literary activities of the students of Cyril and Methodius, Bulgaria became a major center of Slavic literacy.
Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabet
The word "alphabet" is derived from the first two letters of the Glagolitic alphabet - az and boky. The English word for alphabet is derived from the names of the first two letters of the Greek alphabet - alpha and beta.
The Glagolitic alphabet was created by the two brothers. Their students created letters that are easier to spell, and this alphabet was called Cyrillic in honor of Cyril. About 10% of the countries on the planet today write in Cyrillic. The puzzle is a system of graphics. It consisted of 38 letters designed to accurately reflect the sound features of Old Bulgarian.
The Cyrillic alphabet was created at the end of the 9th century, probably in the Preslav Literary School. This alphabet consisted of 24 letters from the Greek alphabet. A few more letters were added to them, reflecting the specifics of Old Bulgarian speech. The Cyrillic alphabet and the Glagolitic script have been used simultaneously for several centuries. Church books were written in Glagolitic, and secular books were written in Cyrillic. Gradually, however, the new alphabet replaced the Glagolitic alphabet.
Go on, peoples reborn!
"Go, Revived Peoples" is the hymn of the Day of Bulgarian Enlightenment and Culture and of Slavic Writing.
The story of the creation of the anthem is quite curious. The author of the text is the poet Stoyan Mihaylovski, who wrote the poem in 1892. The original text was entitled "St. Anthony's Hymn". Cyril and Methodius ?and includes 14 verses, of which we today most often perform the first six. In 1901 the composer Panayot Pipkov discovered the poem in his student's textbook. Extremely inspired, he wrote the music to him in only a quarter of an hour.
The poem "Walk, Peoples Revived" has been translated into 21 languages.
text by Stoyan Mihaylovski
Go, people born again,

but always do your duty!
Tyxo.bg counter It was time, our writing
when the whole world is traversed;

It was a sad slave time too ...
then the Balkan brave son
bending his face beneath the oppression
of the Ottoman lord ...
But always the spirit of the people
looking for you,
/ oh, wise men! In ten centuries
your voice is still alive! / 2
Oh you who are a whole tribe
you pulled from the dead,
folk genius you raised -
asleep in deep darkness.
True Faith Adherents,
sowers of righteousness, peace,
/ High Apostles,
stars on the Slavic world, / 2
be blessed,
oh you, Methodius and Cyril,
fathers of Bulgarian knowledge,
creators of our speech dear!
Let your name live
in popular love,
/ your powerful speech remembers
in Slavs forever and ever! / 2
May 24 is a holiday that other peoples of the world do not have - a celebration of literacy, education, and culture. A celebration of spiritual elevation, of the pursuit of perfection through the achievements of science and culture.
