Bulgarian Orthodox Church honors saint Haralambos- patron saint of bees and beekeepers

On February 10 the Bulgarian Orthodox Church honors the memory of Great Martyr Charalambos the Wonder Worker. Saint Charalambos (Charalampus, Haralambos) is regarded as patron saint of bees and apiarists, because he used to heal with honey. Today, honey is sanctified in all Bulgarian Christian temples. Honey is believed to have greater purifying and healing power when it is sanctified.
