On the third day after Christmas, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church commemorates the memory of Saint Stephen, the first martyr and archdeacon—the first Christian to suffer martyrdom in the name of Christ.
This is the last feast of the year, marking the end of the Christmas cycle. The name 'Stephen' comes from ancient Greek and means 'crown' or 'wreath'. On this day, people named Stefan, Stefana, Stoyan, Stoyana, Ventsislav, and Vladislava celebrate their name day.
