Orthodox Christians in Bulgaria are celebrating Saint Haralambos Day, honouring the patron saint of beekeepers.

Worshippers light candles on jars of honey and pray for health and protection. The feast, held on 10 February, honours honeybees and their role in healing. Saint Haralambos himself was believed to have treated his wounds with honey.
