Hello and welcome to Bulgaria Today, Radio Bulgaria's English podcast.
In our festive St. George’s Day edition - celebrated as the Day of Valour and the Bulgarian Army - we talk to composer Georgi Andreev and Father Georgi from Dolni Lozen, who shares stories of miracles linked to the relics of St. George.
We’ll also hear about Bulgaria’s oldest icon, depicting St. George and St. Demetrius, and the belief that the two saints were twin brothers.
You'll also learn how to make traditional kurbán soup from Pirdop, and enjoy Bulgarian music, including an original piece by Georgi Andreev in our Song of the Day.
Stay with us for stories, flavours, and sounds from Gergyovden!
