Ascension Day

Ascension Day is among the brightest holidays for Bulgarian Orthodox Christians. It is marked 40 days after Easter. The Bulgarian Church marks it also as "Spasovden", meaning Savior's Day. On this day Christ took his followers to Mount Eleon near Jerusalem, to give them his last directions. The day of his last blessing to them has been adopted as the Day of God's Ascension. While speaking, Jesus stepped back and rose to the sky amidst a cloud of bright light that gradually hid him from the eyes of all present.

This year the Bulgarian Orthodox Church marks Ascension Day May 17. All churches and monasteries throughout the country are serving Holy Masses on the occasion. The church floor is covered on that day with walnut leaves and fresh grass and believers pray on their knees. The chants read on Ascension day tell that everyone passes away, both the wise and the ignorant, but whoever believes his home is eternal, has stepped on the road of insanity.
Bulgarian Orthodox calendar has four Holy Thursdays, the last one being Savior Day or the Ascension. It is believed that on that day the dead return to their graves. During the night people leave their windows open, so that the souls of the dead may leave undisturbed. If it rains on Savior's Day, it is believed that the rain has Divine properties. In old times, girls dressed in wedding gowns used to gather for a chin dance. It was believed that the ritual would ensure their getting married before next Savior's Day. Very interesting is also the ritual "Walking on Dittany". Dittany is a wild flower favorite with wood nymphs. It was believed that in the night before Savior's Day they come out and pick this herb to make bunches and wreaths. It was also believed that during that night, wood nymphs could cure all diseases. That is why at that time people take the sick and the suffering in the family out to places where the Dittany flourishes. They leave gifts to the nymphs and in the morning, judging by what the latter have left in the bowls of water each person has left, people can foretell their own fate. Ascension Day or Savior's Day, known in the Bulgarian language as Spasovden is also the name day of everyone called Spas or Spaska.
