TRADITIONS & FESTIVALS - BULGARIA

Do you want to feel like a real local in a new country?

Probably you haven't heard the word "sabor".... And do not even Google it, because what you will find as a translation will not be even close to what it means for the locals in Bulgaria. So here is a small hint! This is a kind of an old word that we used instead of "festival". "Sabor" in Cyrillic comes from "sabiram" which means together. Bulgarians love to celebrate each day, they love to gather together and they will always find a reason to have some fun.

I am not sure if you ever heard something about a Name Day, but in Bulgaria this day is even more important than the Birthday. For example, on this day your doors should be wide open for everybody. You do not invite friends, but they come anyway, so you have to be ready with the table before your guests.

But let's go back to the word "sabor". You might not believe, but each weekend of the year, somewhere in some village in Bulgaria people would be dancing on the main square and celebrate something unusual. We give honour to the Patron of the city, honour to the flowers, honour to the fruits, vegetables, water... and if you think that this cannot be true.... we invite you not as a tourist, but as a friend. Learn more about our traditions, festivals and explore the country as a local. Here are some ideas if you want to plan this year or next one...or two...

Check with us the dates for the upcoming festivals, before you start your trip.

January - International festival of the Masquerade games.

In ancient Bulgaria, wearing masks was believed to provide protection from evil, ensure a successful harvest, and guarantee health and fertility for humans and farm animals. Many of these pagan rituals, which were later incorporated into Christianity, are still performed in eastern Bulgaria between the holidays of Christmas and Easter. Dancing in the iced cold river? YEP! Nothing can scare the Bulgarian spirit.

February - Wines and vines

this month is given an honour to the vines, vineyards, wine-makers and the like. We do celebrate 14 th of February (1 st of February - new style), but here people won't send just valentines cards, instead they will visit a local winery, women will prepare a traditional bread and people will be dressed with typical Bulgarian clothes, sing and dance to invite the spring to their lands.

March - Welcome Spring

and goodbye Winter! On 1 st of March, Bulgarians will put a white and red strings around their wrists, will hang them in their homes, on their cars, will pin them to their clothes and hope for a good year. And all of this, because they believe that the ritual will bring them health and fertility to the Mother Earth. This tradition is part of the UNESCO's list of protected cultural practices.

Yes! But not only... This month will be remembered in our history with the National Revival Movement during the Ottoman rule. On 20 th of April, thousands of people will drive to Koprivshtitsa (1h and 30 min away from Sofia) and give honour to the few people, who were brave enough to raise their heads and ask for freedom.

May - Festival of the Chiprovtsi carpets,

Folklore festival in Veliko Tarnovo, the day of St. Cyril and Methodius, who gave to the world the Cyrillic alphabet. More than 3 million people write in our alphabet and all of this would not be possible without our Bulgarian Tsar Boris I. Did you know that? If not, we will be more than happy to tell you all about.

June

Already in the end of May we will start with the Rose Festival in Kazanlak and continue till almost the middle of June. Followed by Music Festivals in Plovdiv, Cherry Festivals, Brandy Festivals and the like.

The Music Festivals will continue, but now on the Sea coast with its blue waters and sun-kissed beaches.

Folklore Festivals with fire dancers,

Festival of the National Costumes in Zheravna, Rhodopi Festival with hundreds of bagpipes playing at once, The Week of the Balkan Mountains ... If you do not like crowds, prepare yourself, because August is rammed and if you just want a quiet place to sit down, you have to take your earplugs with you.

We celebrate our Independence Day on 22nd of September, but can we go a whole month without music and dancing? No! Here we will have a Dance week and Plum Festival. We will buy hundreds of bottles and fill them up with plum brandy, because "winter is coming".

November - 1st of November is the day of our National Heroes

And the unofficial Birthday of our Project - Undiscovered Bulgaria. We will definitely prepare something special for you.

Here is no need to mention even the Christmas, New Year's Eve ... Reserve your table in a Traditional Bulgarian restaurant at least 3 months ahead of time, because as we said, Bulgarians love to celebrate and they do celebrate the whole December. Company events, parties, St Nikolaus Day, The Students day or just the " Day of the Day "!
Looking for more ideas: We are traditionalists who are passionate about our folklore, culture, food, history, and nature. In order to provide our guests with an unparalleled experience, we explored every nook and cranny of our country. We met the winegrowers, farmers, and the elderly people who shared their stories with us. We simply fell in love with everything what Bulgaria has to offer and can hardly wait to show it to you. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PRIVATE TOUR AND WANT TO DISCOVER MORE THAN THE TOURIST SIGHTS, THAN YOUR GUIDES ARE WAITING FOR YOU... Did we get your attention? Let's start our journey through Bulgaria together and discover it all! Create your own itinerary

Religion in Bulgaria has been dominated by Christianity since its adoption as the state religion in 865. The dominant form of the religion is Eastern Orthodox Christianity within the fold of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. During the Ottoman rule of the Balkans, Sunni Islam spread in the territories of Bulgaria, and it remains a significant minority today. The Catholic Church has roots in the country since the Middle Ages, and Protestantism arrived in the 19th century.

In the latest years, there has been a decline of both the historic religions of Bulgaria-Orthodox Christianity and Islam-, which shrank respectively from 86% in 1992 to 84% in 2001 to 61% in 2011 and from 13% in 1992 to 12% in 2001 to 8% in 2011. In the 2011 census, the question about the religious affiliation became optional, and thus 21.8% of the total population didn't answer. Until the census of 1992, Bulgarians were obliged to declare the historic religious belonging of their parents and/or ancestors, while since 2001 people were allowed to declare personal belief in a religion or unbelief in any religion ( irreligion and atheism). After the end of the People's Republic of Bulgaria (1946-1990), the revival of Islam was stronger than Orthodox Christianity. The Bulgarian Orthodox Church has seen the most serious decline from 2001 onwards. The church's credibility has been undermined since the 1990s by its collaboration with the erstwhile Communist regime, fully revealed with the opening of the state's secret archives in 2012, according to which eighty percent of the clergy were members of the secret police.

The Constitution of Bulgaria designates Orthodox Christianity as the "traditional" religion of the country, but guarantees the free exercise of any religion. Bulgaria has not experienced any significant ethnic or religious confrontation, unlike the case in former Yugoslavia in the 1990s. The religious communities in the country coexist peacefully. In fact, the capital Sofia is known for its so-called Square of Religious Tolerance; the St Nedelya Church, St Joseph Cathedral, Banya Bashi Mosque and Sofia Synagogue are located within metres of each other in the very centre of the city.

Censuses' data

Bulgarian Orthodox Church

Detailed 2011 census' data

The results of the Bulgarian census of 2011, in which the indication of answer regarding the question for confession was optional, are as follows:

Religions by ethnic group (2001 census)

The results of the Bulgarian census of 2001 by ethnic groups, the latest census in which the indication of identification (whether by confession or as irreligious) in the question for confession was obligatory, are as follows:

By far the dominant religion in Bulgaria is Eastern Orthodox Christianity, professed by the prevalent ethnic group, the Bulgarians, who are adherents of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. Approximately 60% of the Bulgarians belonged to the church as of 2011. Other Orthodox churches represented in the country by minorities are the Russian Orthodox Church, Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Romanian Orthodox Church and Greek Orthodox Church.

Christianity was established in the First Bulgarian Empire under Boris I in the middle of the 9th century, although it has had its roots in the Balkans since the 1st century and the mission of Apostle Paul. The rise of the Bulgarian Empire made the Bulgarian Orthodox Church autocephalous in 919, becoming the first new Patriarchate to join the initial Pentarchy. The Bulgarian Orthodox Church is the oldest among the Slavic Orthodox churches and has considerably influenced the rest of the Slavic Orthodox world by means of its rich literary and cultural activity in the Middle Ages, as well as by the invention of the Cyrillic script in Bulgaria.

Catholicism has its roots in Bulgaria and the Middle Ages. It was spread among the Bulgarians by Bulgarised Saxon ore miners in northwestern Bulgaria (around Chiprovtsi) and by missionaries among the Paulician and Bogomil sectarians, as well as by Ragusan merchants in the larger cities. The total number of the Catholics in the country accounted for 0.8% of the population in 2011.

Today the bulk of the Catholic population of Bulgaria lives in Plovdiv Province, centred on Rakovski, as well as in some villages in northern Bulgaria. The Banat Bulgarians are a Bulgarian minority in Romania and Serbia adhering to Catholicism. Besides Bulgarians, among the Catholics are also many foreigners.

The Bulgarian Greek Catholic Church, a Byzantine Rite church united with Rome, was formed in the 19th century as part of the Bulgarian church struggle in order to counter the influence of the Patriarch of Constantinople, and has some 10,000 members today.

Protestantism in its various forms arrived in the 19th century because of missionaries, mainly from the United States. Today it is a quickly growing confession, with membership having tripled from 1992 to 2011. They comprised 0.9% of the total population in 2011. Half of the Protestants in Bulgaria are newly converted Roma, while the other half are for the most part Bulgarians. The Union of Evangelical Congregational Churches in Bulgaria is a fruit of American missionaries in the 19th century.

The majority of the Armenians in Bulgaria are members of the Armenian Apostolic Church, which has an eparchy in the country based in Sofia. Most Armenian Apostolics live in Plovdiv, Sofia, Varna or Burgas.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints claimed 2,440 members in seven congregations in 2019. The church has four Family History Centers in Bulgaria. The mission headquarters for the Bulgaria/Central Eurasian Mission is located at the meetinghouse in Sofia.

According to the 2011 census 21.8% of the Bulgarians did not respond to the question about religion, while a further 9.3% declared a strong stance of irreligion (atheism, agnosticism).

Islam is the second largest religion in Bulgaria, representing about 8% of the population in 2011. It is professed by the Turkish minority, the Muslim Bulgarians ( Pomaks) and some of the Roma. The former two are concentrated in the Rhodopes, a massif in southern Bulgaria, but are present in clusters in other parts of the country, for instance the Turks in the Ludogorie region and the Pomaks in the Rhodopes and some villages in northern Bulgaria. Today, Muslims form the majority in Kardzhali Province and Razgrad Province (mostly Turks) and Smolyan Province (mostly Bulgarians).

Islam arrived with the Ottoman Turkish conquest of the Balkans in the 14th-15th century. Turkish notables settled in the larger cities ( Plovdiv, Sofia, Varna, etc.), while peasants from Anatolia arrived in the Ludogorie and the Rhodopes. Many Orthodox Christians and Paulicians converted to Islam, often voluntarily due to the peculiarities of the Ottoman system, but sometimes forcefully. After the Liberation of Bulgaria in 1878 many Muslims were massacred and forcefully deported to the remaining Ottoman territories.

Despite its low number today, Bulgaria's Jewish population exerted considerable cultural influence on the country in the past and is still of importance today. The Jews in Bulgaria are concentrated in the larger cities, mostly in the capital Sofia.

Bulgaria ha establecido tradiciones en una gran variedad de deportes.

Juegos Olímpicos

Bulgaria participa en los Juegos Olímpicos de verano e invierno, y su primera aparición se remonta a los primeros Juegos Olímpicos modernos en 1896, cuando el gimnasta suizo Charles Champaud representó al país. Desde entonces, Bulgaria ha aparecido en la mayoría de las Olimpiadas de Verano, y desde 2012 ha ganado un total de 214 medallas: 51 de oro, 85 de plata y 78 de bronce. Las participaciones más exitosas tuvieron lugar en Munich (21 medallas), Montreal (22 medallas), Moscú (41), Seúl (35). En los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno, Bulgaria tiene un récord menos impresionante: solo 6 medallas (de las cuales solo una de oro) de 19 participaciones.

Algunos de los atletas olímpicos más destacados incluyen a Mariya Grozdeva (tiro), Ekaterina Dafovska (biatlón), Armen Nazaryan (lucha libre), Stefka Kostadinova (salto de altura, poseedor del récord mundial desde 1987), Yordanka Donkova (100 m, titular del mundo récord desde 1988), Yordan Yovchev (gimnasia), Neshka Robeva (gimnasia), Rumyana Neykova (remo).

La lucha libre es la disciplina más exitosa. Los luchadores búlgaros han ganado un total de 68 medallas: 16 de oro, 32 de plata y 20 de bronce. El levantamiento de pesas es el segundo deporte más exitoso con un total de 36 medallas. Sin duda, este es uno de los deportes de mayor prioridad de Bulgaria con alrededor de 1,000 medallas de oro en diferentes competiciones, aunque se han producido casos de dopaje entre los levantadores de pesas búlgaros, lo que llevó a la expulsión de todo el equipo búlgaro de los Juegos Olímpicos de verano de 2000, y su retirada voluntaria de los Juegos Olímpicos de verano de 1988. Las autoridades olímpicas despojaron a varios levantadores de pesas búlgaros de medallas en 2004; y todo el equipo de levantamiento de pesas del país se retiró en 2008.​ Longman, Jere (2000-09-23). " Sydney 2000: levantamiento de pesas; el escándalo de drogas continúa: equipo búlgaro es expulsado de los juegos". The New York Times. Consultado el 19 de noviembre de 2008. Todo el equipo de levantamiento de pesas búlgaro fue expulsado de los Juegos Olímpicos hoy en un escándalo de drogas ... Dos levantadores búlgaros dieron positivo por la furosemida diurética, según el Comité Olímpico Internacional. Era el mismo diurético que dos medallistas de oro búlgaros fueron capturados usando en los Juegos de Verano de 1988 en Seúl, Corea del Sur. Todo el equipo búlgaro de levantamiento de pesas se retiró de esos Juegos. Stefan Botev, Nikolay Peshalov, Demir Demirev, Asen Zlatev, Blagoy Blagoev y Yoto Yotov figuran entre los levantadores de pesas más distinguidos. Naim Süleymanoğlu, un turco étnico, originalmente entrenado y compitió por Bulgaria antes de desertar y competir por Turquía.

Los deportes de tiro también han demostrado estar entre las disciplinas más fuertes de Bulgaria. Mariya Grozdeva y Tanyu Kiryakov han ganado medallas de oro olímpicas. Ekaterina Dafovska ganó el oro olímpico en biatlón en los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno de 1998, mientras que Evgenia Radanova es la olímpica de invierno búlgara más exitosa con 3 medallas en patinaje de velocidad sobre pista corta.

El fútbol se ha convertido con diferencia en el deporte más popular del país. Muchos búlgaros siguen de cerca la mejor liga búlgara, actualmente conocida como la Primera Liga de Fútbol Profesional; así como las ligas de otros países europeos. El equipo nacional logró su mayor éxito con un cuarto lugar en la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 1994 en los Estados Unidos.

Dimitar Berbatov (Димитър Бербатов) actualmente se ubica como uno de los jugadores de fútbol búlgaros más famosos. A partir de la temporada 2012/2013, juega para el FC Fulham, reincorporándose con el mánager Martin Jol, quien lo trajo a Inglaterra. Berbatov también pasó cuatro temporadas en el Manchester United, donde marcó sus dos primeros goles para el equipo en su victoria por 3-0 ante Aalborg en la fase de grupos de la Liga de Campeones el 30 de septiembre de 2008, menos de un mes después de unirse al equipo.​ Georgi Asparuhov, apodado Gundi (1943-1971), también se hizo extremadamente popular en el país y en el extranjero, después de haber recibido ofertas de clubes en Italia y Portugal, y haber ganado el premio de jugador de fútbol búlgaro №1 para el siglo XX.​ Hristo Stoichkov se ha convertido en el futbolista búlgaro más conocido de todos los tiempos. Su carrera alcanzó su punto máximo entre 1992 y 1995, mientras jugaba para el FC Barcelona, ganando el Balón de Oro en 1994. Además, apareció en el ranking FIFA 100. Tres búlgaros han ganado el premio de la Bota de Oro de los máximos goleadores europeos: Hristo Stoichkov, Georgi Slavkov y Petar Jekov.

CSKA Sofía es uno de los dos clubes de fútbol búlgaros con mejor desempeño.​​ Levski Sofía se convirtió en el primer equipo búlgaro en participar en la moderna UEFA Champions League en 2006/2007. Slavia Sofía, Lokomotiv Sofía y Litex Lovech han jugado a menudo en la UEFA Europa League. Más recientemente, Ludogorets Razgrad se ha convertido en el equipo dominante del país, con una racha continua de seis títulos de primer nivel (2012-17). Otros clubes populares incluyen Botev Plovdiv, Cherno More Varna y Lokomotiv Plovdiv.

En su equipo nacional de voleibol masculino, controlado por la Federación Búlgara de Voleibol, Bulgaria presenta a uno de los principales equipos de voleibol en Europa y el mundo. A partir de enero de 2009, el equipo ocupó el cuarto lugar en el mundo según el ranking de la FIVB.​ Bulgaria ha aparecido regularmente en el Top 10 y ha obtenido medallas de plata en los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 1980, el Campeonato Mundial de Voleibol Masculino de la FIVB de 1970 y el Campeonato Europeo de 1951, así como numerosas medallas de bronce, incluso en la Copa Mundial de 2007 en Japón. A partir de 2009, los jugadores de voleibol búlgaros más populares incluyen Plamen Konstantinov, Matey Kaziyski y Vladimir Nikolov.

Sindicato de rugby

La unión de rugby en Bulgaria se remonta a la década de 1960, posiblemente antes. Bulgaria también tiene sus propios equipos internacionales masculinos, femeninos y sietes.

Otros deportes

Bulgaria cuenta con grandes logros en una gran variedad de otros deportes. Maria Gigova y Maria Petrova han tenido un récord de tres títulos mundiales en gimnasia rítmica. Otras gimnastas famosas incluyen a Simona Peycheva y Neshka Robeva (una entrenadora muy exitosa también). Las gimnastas rítmicas búlgaras fueron particularmente exitosas durante la década de 1980, formando una generación de gimnastas conocidas como las Golden Girls of Bulgaria. Yordan Yovchev se ubica como el competidor búlgaro más famoso en gimnasia artística. En la lucha, Boyan Radev, Serafim Barzakov, Armen Nazaryan, Plamen Slavov, Kiril Sirakov y Sergey Moreyko se clasifican como luchadores de clase mundial. Dan Kolov se convirtió en una leyenda de la lucha libre a principios del siglo XX mientras vivía en Estados Unidos. De 1576 partidos, tiene 75 derrotas registradas.

Los búlgaros han logrado muchos logros significativos en el atletismo. Stefka Kostadinova, que todavía posee el récord mundial de salto de altura femenino, saltó 209 centímetros en el Campeonato Mundial de Atletismo de 1987 en Roma para obtener el codiciado título. Yordanka Donkova sigue siendo el poseedor del récord mundial en los obstáculos de 100 metros con 12.21 segundos. El récord se coloca en Stara Zagora el 21 de agosto de 1988 y hasta hoy no ha mejorado. Logró cuatro veces el récord mundial en 1986. También tiene el récord de campeonatos europeos de 12.38 segundos, logrado en la misma disciplina. Actualmente, Bulgaria se enorgullece de sus velocistas, especialmente Ivet Lalova y Tezdzhan Naimova.

El ajedrez ha alcanzado una gran popularidad. Uno de los mejores maestros de ajedrez y ex campeón mundial, Veselin Topalov, juega para Bulgaria. A finales de 2005, los campeones mundiales de ajedrez masculino y femenino venían de Bulgaria, así como el campeón mundial junior.

Albena Denkova y Maxim Staviski han ganado el campeonato mundial de patinaje artístico ISU dos veces seguidas (2006 y 2007) por danza sobre hielo.

Los búlgaros también han logrado grandes éxitos en el tenis. Las hermanas Maleeva: Katerina, Manuela y Magdalena, han alcanzado la lista de las diez mejores en el ranking mundial, y se convirtieron en el único conjunto de tres hermanas clasificadas en la lista de las diez mejores al mismo tiempo. Bulgaria tiene otros tenistas conocidos como Tsvetana Pironkova, semifinalista de Grand Slam y dos veces finalista de Grand Slam, Sesil Karatancheva y Grigor Dimitrov, dos veces campeón junior de Grand Slam, semifinalista de Wimbledon 2014, Semifinalista del Abierto de Australia 2017 y campeón de las Finales del Circuito Mundial 2017.

Boyan Petrov (búlgaro: Боян Петров, nacido el 7 de febrero de 1973) es un zoólogo y montañista búlgaro que trabaja en el Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de Sofía. [1] A partir de julio de 2016, ha escalado 8 ocho mil millares, todos sin oxígeno suplementario. Este logro lo convierte en escalador búlgaro de altitud con el mayor número de picos de más de 8000 metros.

Petar Stoychev (Петър Стойчев) estableció un nuevo récord mundial de natación por cruzar el Canal de la Mancha en 2007.

El país tiene fuertes tradiciones en el boxeo amateur y en las competiciones de artes marciales. Bulgaria ha logrado un gran éxito con sus equipos de judo y karate en los campeonatos europeos y mundiales. Kaloyan Stefanov Mahlyanov, mejor conocido como Kotoōshū Katsunori, se ha hecho mundialmente conocido por su destreza en el sumo, convirtiéndose en el primer europeo en ganar el título de ozeki en Japón. Bulgaria también ha ganado varios campeonatos europeos de sumo, y a menudo se encuentra entre los principales competidores en este deporte.

El equipo nacional de cricket de Bulgaria se convirtió en miembro asociado de la CPI en 2017.

Bulgaria será la sede de la Copa Mundial de Baloncesto Sub-17 FIBA 2020 con Sofía como la ciudad sede entre el 4 y el 12 de julio de 2020.
