Today is Dimitrovden the Feast of St. Demetrius! 🇧🇬❄️ In Bulgarian tradition, this day marks the arrival of winter. Legend says the first snowflakes fall from the saint’s white beard, while St. George brings summer and St. Demetrius brings the cold. A beloved name day for thousands of Dimitar, Mitko, Dimitrina and many more. Family gatherings, church services and centuries old folklore come alive. Wishing everyone who celebrates a warm and joyful Dimitrovden! ❤️
