Day of St Peter Preaches Half-Day Work in Bulgaria
29/6/2011
Bulgaria’s Orthodox Church is celebrating the day of St Peter and Paul (Pavel in Bulgarian) when – tradition says – people should work only until noontime.
On June 29 the Orthodox Church celebrates the day of two apostles – Peter and Paul: Petrovden and Pavlovden is how the day is called in the Balkan country.
In Bulgaria, the holiday comes in the middle of summertime, when harvesting is in full swing and “wheat is baked”. A legend says that St. Peter himself, on seeing how people harvest, took the sickle to help them.
