Bulgaria - Feast of Saint Tryphon (Religious Holiday)
The feast of Saint Tryphon, also known as Saint Tryphon Zarezan (Tryphon the Trimmer) is celebrated in Bulgaria and Montenegro on February 14. It is observed mainly by wine growers as Tryphon is the Eastern Orthodox patron saint of wine.
Saint Tryphon is believed to have been born in Phrygia. He was tortured for his faith during the Decian persecution. He is greatly venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church where his feast day is February 1. As the Eastern Orthodox Church still uses the Julian calendar, the feast is actually celebrated on February 14 of the Gregorian calendar.
