Contexte culturel
The 'Golden Apple' (Златната ябълка) is a central symbol in Bulgarian folklore, representing health and the struggle between good and evil. Apples are often used in traditional winter decorations and are a staple of the regional diet due to the favorable climate. In some Bulgarian villages, apples are blessed in church during specific holidays like the Transfiguration (Преображение Господне). There is a strong modern movement towards organic farming in Bulgaria, with 'bio' apples being highly sought after in Sofia markets.
