On a Name Day, the 'celebrant' is expected to treat others, but the guests MUST offer the 'Здраве и живот' blessing in return. In rural Bulgaria, this phrase was often accompanied by a light tap on the shoulder with a 'survachka' (decorated twig) during New Year. The phrase is often used at the end of prayers or when lighting a candle in church for loved ones. It is the most common comment on Facebook for any life milestone in Bulgaria.
