The church has designated December 27 to honor Saint Stephen – considered one of the first martyrs of the Christian faith and one of the seven disciples of Jesus Christ, chosen after his resurrection.
His life tells that, worried by the growing number of believers, the Jews slandered the saint as blaspheming God and thus condemned him. In Jehoshaphat Valley, an angry mob stoned him to death. Despite the terrible deed, shortly before giving up his soul, Saint Stephen prayed “Lord, do not impute this sin to them” – the life of the saint also tells. In the 5th century, some of his relics were discovered by a priest in a vision and placed in the Temple of Zion in Jerusalem.
It is believed that Saint’s Day is the last Christian holiday, and our ancestors believed that with this day the circle of the old year closes.
Traditionally, the young family visits the godfathers, godparents or parents, and meat dishes are eaten at the table. Traditionally, pork is prepared with sauerkraut or meat pie. From St. Stephen’s Day to St. John’s Day, the customs characteristic of the Dirty Days are observed – women should not sweep, wash their hair, do laundry, weddings, baptisms, funerals are not held.
In places in Central and Northern Bulgaria, instead of December 31, it was on Stefanovden that the custom of feasting was observed. All brides make wrists and tie a ring or other personal item to them, then melt it in a basin full of still water, which is covered with a red veil. The next day, a girl dressed as a bride takes out her wrists one by one and while the others sing incantation songs (ladanki) she foretells who will marry which boy.
