The Petrov Shrovetide that start on the first week after The Fiftieth Day ends on Petrovden. A chicken called petrovsko is slaughtered. Ritual breads are kneaded and apples petrovki are eaten and some are given away as a commemoration of the dead. Fairs are held in some villages.
On June 29th the Orthodox Church celebrates the day of the two apostles - Peter and Paul: Petrovden and Pavlovden. In Bulgaria, though, Pavlovden is more popular to be celebrated on the following day, June 30th. The Holy Apostles Peter and Paul are regarded in Bulgarian folklore as brothers.
This holiday is in midsummer. The people are working hard in the fields, "wheat is baked". A legend says that St. Peter himself, on seeing how people harvest, took the sickle to help them. The St. Peter Fast ends with meat on the table - black chicken, slain on the threshold of the house for health and strength, for Peter means 'stone'. On the table there are also juicy apples, consecrated at the morning service in church.
