JULY
Saint Elijah’s Day or Ilinden
In Bulgaria that is the day (20th of July) we pay our respect to the great prophet St Elijah (St Iliya). By tradition on that day no one works to avoid infuriating St Elijah who as the word goes was master of summer storms, hailstorms and thunders.
On that day different fairs and festivities are organized paying tribute to the saint.
