We mark the Day of the Holy Ghost

Today the Bulgarian Orthodox Church celebrates the Holy Ghost. On this day Orthodox Christians pay homage to the holy life-giving spirit, it being the third person of the Consubstantial Holy and undivided Trinity. According to the Christian faith the Holy Ghost gives life to creatures and sanctifies human souls and bodies. In iconography it is depicted as a dove. In popular tradition the day is related to the cult of the dead, and it is believed that on this day the spirits released on Easter are coming back in.
