Girls and young women in Bulgaria mark the emergence of spring and a time for love with Saint Lazarus' Day each year. It commemorates the anniversary of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead four days after His resurrection. But they aren't the only ones.
Lazarus Saturday is a feast day in the Eastern Orthodox Church celebrated on the Saturday before Orthodox Palm Sunday commemorating the raising of Lazarus from the dead by Jesus Christ, as recorded in the Gospel of John.
In Orthodox tradition, Lazarus Saturday is considered a foretaste of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and one of the most joyous days of the Lenten season. It is also sometimes called the "Saturday of Lazarus" or the "Saturday of the Resurrection of Lazarus."
Churches deck the pews with palms and flowers, and the Gospel account of the raising of Lazarus receives a reading, after which palm fronds are blessed and distributed to the congregation.
Lazarus Saturday marks the end of the Lenten period of fasting from meat and dairy products, and many Orthodox Christians will celebrate with a feast.
