Bulgarian Orthodox Church marks Wednesday the Entry of the Virgin Mary into the Temple holiday, also known as the Christian Family Day.

The holiday is regarded as the beginning of the Christmas Lent and is connected to the upcoming winter and the preparation for the Christmas holidays.

Churches all over the Country held special services. Parents and teachers should take children to the church.

According to an old belief, if the weather on November 21 is warm and sunny, the forthcoming winter will be bitter and the next year's summer - dry and very hot.
