Bulgarian folklore and culture than the
cuisine alone. With this folklore calendar,
we give you the opportunity to experience

holidays in the same way as our ancestors
have done it for centuries. And since we are
passionate about food, you will find descriptions of all Bulgarian folk
holidays accompanied by the recipes for the

Our folk calendar (also
known as Orthodox calendar) talks about
namedays. Read more about our
Bulgarian namedays

reminder service below. We will make
sure to remind you when a nameday is coming up. Then
all you have to do is surprise a
Bulgarian friend who has that name.

Bulgarians are a peculiar
people. The namedays tradition is just one
example of of how rich and spiritual their
folklore and everyday live has been
throughout the years. As another example, we
offer your the explanation of the days of
the week, the way our ancestors have seen
them:
Monday A working day. The ones born on this
day will earn their living arduously and
labor will be their fateful sign. It is
recommended not to wear white clothes on
Monday. Believed to be a male day.
Tuesday A difficult
day. You must not begin anything on
Tuesday. It is recommended not to wear
red clothes on Tuesday. Believed to be a
female day.
Wednesday A day good for
any kind of business. Those born on
this day are well-balanced, wise, and slow. It
is lucky to wear blue or violet clothes
on Wednesday. Believed to be a male day.
Thursday Those
born on this day have luck in love and
are good at arts. It is recommended to wear
green clothes. Again, believed to be a
male day.
Friday Good day for
business. Those born on Friday are good
at doing business and are very successful.
Believed to be a female day.
Saturday The
ones born on Saturday are considered to
be "Satan’s children", they are
devilishly dexterous and talented,
enterprising and can handle everything.
They have prophetic gifts. It is
recommended to wear gray and black
clothes for luck. Again, believed to be
a female day.
Sunday A sunny day. The ones born
on this day are destined for happiness
and wealth. Fate helps them generously,
especially if they wear orange and
golden clothes.
