The Bulgarian Orthodox Church honors Saints today Archangel Michael. His name in Hebrew translates “Who is like the Lord?” and was the battle cry of the heavenly armies. He is one of the seven first angels who stand always before the throne of God and is considered the patron of warriors.
In the Revelation of St. John the Theologian, it is told about the battle of St. Archangel Michael and his angels with Satan in the form of a seven-headed and ten-horned Dragon, who was banished from the Kingdom of Heaven to earth.
The day of Saint Michael the Archangel – commander of the entire heavenly host of angels and archangels, is the second most important after Demitrov’s autumn holiday. The saint is a symbol of goodness, light and justice. Today, in the Plovdiv region, the churches in Asenovgrad, Krumovo, Tsalapitsa, Lilkovo have a temple holiday.
Archangel’s Day is associated with honoring the dead and the human soul, as Archangel Michael is assigned to separate the human soul from the body. That is why the Saturday before the holiday is Archangel Stew.
On this day, women bake loaves, and the oldest man in the family breaks them, pours wine over them and blesses them.
Today, Angel, Angelina, Michael, Mihailina, Mihaela, Mila, Milen, Milena, Rangel, Raphael, Gavrail, Gavril, Seraphim, Raiko, Raya, Radka, Radko, Raina, Radoslav, Rada, Radina, Radelina, Radostin are celebrating their name day.
