The Orthodox community marks on August 1st one of the most significant church holidays – "Procession of the Holy Cross", which originates from the 8th century and is deeply rooted in the Constantinople spiritual tradition.
This day coincides with the memory of the holy martyrs brothers Maccabees, their mother Saint Solomonia, and the mentor Saint Eleazar. Their lives become a symbol of unwavering faith and self-sacrifice in the name of the supreme truth.
The historical roots of the holiday are connected with the struggle against epidemics, especially the plague that devastated the streets of Constantinople. As a spiritual response to the calamities, Orthodox churches restore the ancient tradition of processions with the Honorable Cross.
In various Bulgarian temples, prayer services and water blessings are held, whose main purpose is spiritual blessing and protection from diseases. Priests accompany the rituals with reading of akathists for health and the lives of the saints.
