Today, the people whose name means "benevolent"

What are the traditions of today

 

 

 

Today - January 20, the church honors Euthymi the Great and Patriarch Evtimii of Turnovo.

The name Euthymus in Greek means gracious (in Greek eu - good, thymos - soul).

The holiday is known as Ihtim, Ihtima, Petlovodden (new style), Petelarovden or Petlarovden.

The last three names are related to the main ritual practice - the sacrifice of a cock in every house with a male chile.

In those homes where there are girls, the owners are usually slaughtered for their health.

The bird's legs are thrown on the roof of the house and its feathers are preserved. With them, grandmothers smoke ill or born children.

In the Strandzha region, where the folk cult of St. Euthymus is well developed, every woman drives a black cock for the health of her children.

According to local beliefs, St. Euthymus is the master of childhood diseases and he protects against "childhood" and "external disease" (polio and epilepsy).

In Plovdiv, the day is known as the Black Day or the Black Day.

Here, in addition to the sacrifice of a black cock (or hen), a number of prohibitions are observed.

No women's work is done, they do not bathe, they do not make weddings so that they do not "blush". not to mourn the deceased.

Today's name day is celebrated by everyone with the names Euthymus and Euthymius.
