Today the Bulgarian Orthodox Church honors Apostles Peter and Paul. The day is known as Petrovden in the Bulgarian folklore calendar. The two apostles who were ardent propagators of Christianity were subject to severe persecution and endured a lot of suffering. In 67 AD they were crucified by Emperor Nero in Rome.
