On December 6th, we commemorate the memory of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker – the patron saint of fishermen, sailors, merchants, and bankers. Pomorie and Aheloy are once again ready to celebrate St. Nicholas Day, in accordance with Christian precepts. After the celebration of festive liturgies, processions will depart from the churches. The memory of those who have lost their lives at sea will also be honored. Traditionally, consecrated fish dishes and a kurbaan (a sacrificial offering) for health will be distributed to the people.
