Bulgaria Honors Departed Souls: All Souls' Day
All Souls' Day in Bulgaria is traditionally observed on a Saturday, aligning with the Church's designation of the day as a time to honor the dead
On Saturday, Bulgarians commemorate one of the three most important All Souls (Zadushnitsa) days in Eastern Orthodox Christianity - the day of St Michael (in Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox traditions, he is called ‘Taxiarch Archangel Michael’) or simply "Archangel Michael".
On this day, Bulgarians honour the memory of all dead, eternal gratitude to officers and soldiers who died for Bulgaria, and the Bulgarian troops who lost their lives in defence of the homeland.
On Zadushnitsa, the relatives of the deceased gather in order to remember their loved ones. Sweets, fruit, wine are offered in commemoration, including to strangers, as this is a deeply-rooted and widely respected tradition in Bulgarian society.
