The celebration known as Todorova Sabota or Todorica is considered a holiday of devotion to the Easter fast. The name day is celebrated by those named Todor, Todorka, and Bozhidar (which comes from Teo-Bog and “dar,” meaning gift).
The appearance of St. Theodore Tyron and the exposure of the deceitful intentions of Emperor Julian Apostate were the reasons for the reestablishment of the holiday Todorova Sabota, which is celebrated on the first Saturday of the Easter fast, or the first Saturday after Procka.
The commemoration of the holy martyr St. Theodore Tyron is celebrated on March 1st/February 17th. However, our people are more familiar with another holiday associated with this saint, and that is Todorova Sabota (Todorica), a movable holiday that is celebrated on the first Saturday of the Easter fast, as reported by kurir.mk.
