People with the names of Enyo, Yana and Yanko celebrate their name's day on this day.

This is also the birth date of Saint Joan or Saint Ivan - 24^th June. The coincidence of the holiday with the longest day of the year is connected to the ancient cults to the sun and the sun's magic. The Christian saint Joan gives a new interpretation of the ancient holidays by preserving the pagan worship of the sun in them.

People go out early on that day to meet the sunrise. They collect wild growing herbs along the high hills on that day. The folk healers know the herbs best. The herbs gathered on this day are kept and used against disease throughout the whole year. People also wind a special wreath from the herbs under which go the young boys and girls for health. They also go under two cornel trees with tied tops. The wreath is a ritual symbol. It has a sacred magic function. It symbolizes the sun's discus and the God's magic. A very important ritual for the day is the so called "Enyov's bride" ritual. According to the ritual a little girl at the age of 3-5 who has a mother and a father forecasts for the fertility of the fields. The child is dressed in traditional bridal clothes because people associate the young married woman with the hope for fertility and new life. Four girls (two by two) carry the little child over their shoulders and the rest of the women sing songs around them. They go round the village from east to west then go to the river and there in front of the water they ask the child to forecast for the crops, the wine, the honey and anything else they find important. The child answers by God's inspiration telling the truth. On Enyov's Day the young girls predict who they will marry by the following ritual: at the night before the holiday each girl cuts three thistle buds. One of the buds she calls for herself and the other two for two unmarried men telling the magic words: "Whoever will be my groom may it bloom". The cut buds are left for the night under the stars which people believe will come down and leave their magic messages.
