On May 4, 2024, Bulgarian Orthodox Church marks Holy Saturday. It is the last day of the Holy Week and commemorates the day that Jesus Christ's body lay in his tomb prior to his resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Services take place in all churches across the country all day long.
At midnight on the Saturday before Easter Sunday, people gather at the church and usually take Easter eggs and breads to be blessed by the priests.
The priest announces three times ‘Christ is Risen!’ and the congregation replies ‘Indeed he has risen’’. After a special sequence of services, the clergy blesses the breads and eggs brought by the people.
