On June 24 Bulgarians mark Enyovden – a celebration of medicinal herbs. On the same day the Orthodox Church marks the birthday of St. John the Baptist and often the rituals and traditions of the two occasions intertwine. It is believed that on Enyovden the various herbs possess the strongest medicinal power, especially at sunrise. The Ministry of the Environment claims that Bulgaria is on the top position in Europe and among the leaders worldwide for the export of medicinal herbs. Every year between 15 and 17 thousand tons of medicinal plants are gathered and processed in this country and 90% of them are exported abroad.
