Today, according to the Orthodox calendar, is the day of Saint Spyridon the Wonderworker. The saint was born in the 4th century on the island of Cyprus to a poor family. He devoted himself entirely to helping the poor and suffering. He was appointed bishop of Trimythous on the island of Cyprus.
In Bulgarian traditional culture, St. Spiridon is perceived as the patron saint of craftsmen - shoemakers, tile-makers, potters, brick-makers, coppersmiths, etc.
It is believed that the saint was the first to discover how to make a strong clay vessel. At first, he tried only clay, but failed. Saddened by the failure, he wept and his tears made the clay workable. He made the vessel, baked it and so gave this craft to the people.
