Today Orthodox Christians in Bulgaria celebrate the Day of Saints Constantine and Helena. It was Emperor Constantine, who in 313 issued an edict proclaiming Christianity as legal religion in Byzantium.
In Bulgaria marking this holiday is characterised by combination of Christian and pagan rituals. The Day of Saints Constantine and Helena is also the day of fire-dancers.
