Trifon Zarezan

St. Trifon is also known in other Balkan countries, it is affixed with the Orthodox calendar and is associated with the change of seasons from winter to spring.

In traditional Bulgarian folklore, the feast of Trifon Zarezan is primarily associated with viticulture.

It is celebrated as a professional holiday by wine growers, falconers, gardeners, barrel-makers and innkeepers.

To protect livestock, in some places (Belogradchik, Montana) special bread is prepared, which is overcooked and put in their food.
