Significado
Facing extreme difficulties for someone.
Contexto cultural
The phrase is deeply linked to the concept of 'юначество' (heroism). Bulgarian folk songs often describe heroes who are not burned by fire or drowned by water. Fire and water are used in sanctification rituals (holy water and candles). Passing through them can imply a spiritual cleansing or testing of faith. The idiom reflects the collective memory of surviving wars and uprisings, where literal fire and water (floods/rivers) were often obstacles.
