On January 8, as per the new style calendar, Bulgaria celebrates the Day of Maternity Care, also known as Babinden (Midwives' Day).
Babinden is a traditional Bulgarian feast, celebrated on 8 January (or in some areas 21 January according to the Gregorian calendar), in honour of the women practicing midwifery.
