his story happened in the pagan time when Khan
Boris was the ruler of Bulgaria. At that time there
was a thick, centuries-old wood spreading on the
hill over the recent town. There was a spring over there and а
pagan sanctuary /kapishte/ built nearby.
The legend tells that there was a noble man /bolyarin/
who ruled this area then. His name was Tsolyu.
His castle was lying on the feet of the hill and there was
only a garden between it and a prison where there were
criminals and prisoners-of-war, including those who were
Christians from от Constantinople.

The noble man had only one child – his beautiful and
beloved daughter Tsvetana.
She was very kind to the prisoners-of-war and often
visited the prison bringing them food and other needed stuff.
It happened that
Tsvetana fell
gravely ill.
Her father was scared about
the life of his only child, so he
called a lot of healers and promised
them a big reward if they cure his
daughter of her illness.
Dear
father, I’m
so sick.
Oh, my poor
child. How can
I help you?
I need
the best
doctors.

The healers tried very hard with all the medicine they know,
in all ways they could but nothing happened. Tsvetana
remained gravely ill.
Then a man
from the bolyarin’s
entourage told him
that among the
prisoners-of-war
there were famous
doctors Christians.
Tsolyu, the bolyarin
called them and
asked them to help
his daughter.
They agreed but on the condition that he would allow
them to do all they think was good for Tsvetana’s health. As
the bolyarin was very sad about his daughter, he gave his
approval.
The doctors Christians converted Tsvetana to Christianity
in the spring near the sanctuary and at this very moment she
became healthy. It was just a miracle.
We did
our best.

They gave Tsvetana a new,
Christian name –Teodora (after
the Byzantium emperor Michael
III’s mother).
Under the influence of
the miracle happened to his
daughter, Tsolyu the bolyarin
also baptized and converted
to Christianity. After that he
ordered at the place of the
pagan sanctuary a new
Christian church to be built.
Then he went to visit Khan Boris and told him about the
miracle happened to his daughter and what he did after that.

The legend tells that one year before the Christianization
of the Bulgarians (863 or 864 AD) Khan Boris came at that
temple to be baptized and converted to Christianity.
This sanctuary and later the Christian church were
worshiped by the folk of the town and nearer villages from the
ancient days to nowadays. After 864 AD the patron saint of
the temple became St. Theodor Tiron (Theodore of Amasea), a
young Roman soldier from Anatolia. It was he who was the
spiritual patron of Stara Zagora in the early years of
Christianity to Bulgaria today.
* Ayazmo(from Greek αγίασμα) is a source of water, that is situated nearby a sacred to Christianity object – a
Temple or a Monastery. It might be a spring, a fountain or a pool. Water from the holy spring is considered to
be healing, miraculous, used after being lit in Christian rituals.

THE LEGEND OF THE CRAFTSMAN

Long ago, about four centuries back, Negru Voda, the ruler of Romania, wanted to build a
monastery in order to honour his good fortune. He wanted this monastery to be more
beautiful than any other he had ever seen. For this he summoned the greatest craftsman in the
country to make his dream come true. That craftsman was called Manole. He also employed
other nine exceptional craftsmen to help Manole. All of them were very happy to help fulfil
this dream.
One day, accompanied the by craftsmen, he went searching on the banks of the river
Arges for the perfect place to build his monastery. But he didn’t want an ordinary place; he
was looking for the ruins of an ancient forsaken monastery – as it was an old custom that
monasteries be built on previous holy ruins.
They were having a difficult time finding the place they wanted, when suddenly they saw
a little boy caring for a flock of sheep. They stopped and asked him if he knew of any old
walls in the vicinity. The little boy led them to some mouldy ruins hidden in a reedy field.
They were all delighted to have found a good spot for the glorious monument. After Negru
Voda gave his orders, and after the skilled workers did the measurements and prepared all the
materials, they started laying the foundations.
But no matter how hard they all worked everything that was built by day collapsed by
night. Pillars would yield; walls would tumble; and the craftsmen would have to do things

over and over again. This went on for several days. No one could understand what was
wrong. Seeing this, Negru Voda was very angry and threatened the craftsmen that he would
burry them in the foundation.
They worked all day long but the result was the same. This went on until one night
Manole had a strange dream. In the morning he called his men and told them that he had
received a divine message advising him to wall in the foundation the first wife or sister that
would come the next morning bringing food to her husband or brother. With great grief they
all made a pact to do exactly as the dream advised. But little did Manole know that the other
craftsmen plotted to warn their wives not to come to the monastery.
That morning when Manole woke up he climbed the scaffold to see which wife or sister
would come first. After a long anguished wait, Manole in pain and distress, recognized his
own wife—his dear Ana.

He fell to his knees and implored God to stop her from coming. He asked God to start a
pouring rain to make her go back home. God listened to his cries and gathered dark clouds
and started a terrible rain. But this wasn’t enough to stop her. She kept on coming.

He then prayed for a strong wind to blow to stop everything in its way. But this didn’t stop
Ana either. She finally arrived at the monastery and with all the grief in his heart Manole had
to keep his promise. They persuaded her to let them wall her as a joke.

At first she laughed, but as the wall was getting higher she started to worry and begged
Manole to stop joking. She started crying as the wall was too tight and was crushing her body
and their unborn child.
The craftsmen worked quick and soon Ana could no longer bee seen… only her cry could be
heard from the walls…After accomplishing this horrible sacrifice, the building started to take
shape and slowly but steadily became an incredibly beautiful monument.

One day, while the craftsmen were hammering in the last nails on the roof, Negru Voda
and his men came to see how the work was going. In great amazement they saw the
wonderful structure they had build. It was apparently completed and everyone was deeply
impressed by its peacefulness. The columns, the cornices, everything was harmonious, and
this church was certainly more beautiful than any they had seen before.

Negru Voda couldn’t stop smiling and starring at the monastery. After a while he asked the
men if they could ever build a greater monastery than this. The men proudly answered that
there were no greater craftsmen in all the land and that they could build a far more beautiful
than this one. But this answer didn’t please the ruler. He wanted this monastery to be the
greatest in all the country, so he ordered his men to take down the ladders and the scaffolds
leaving the craftsmen to their death, isolated on the roof of the monastery. In their desperate
try to get back on the ground, the nine craftsmen constructed wings out of thin planks,
fastened them to their arms and tried to fly off the roof. But, the wings couldn’t save them for
their terrible death, their bodies crashing on the impact with the ground.
Manole, who remained alone on the roof, also tried to use wooden wings in order to fly to
safety. But as he was preparing to jump he heard the cries of his beloved Ana. His heart filled
with grief and he fell to his death at the base of the monastery.

In the place where he fell, a spring of salty water spouted representing the tears of Manole
and Ana… there a fountain was built.

The story which we will narrate is about Achilles.
Achilles was born near our village and is by far the
most beloved hero for all the Greek kids. His life
and death continues to thrill all children…
So, let’s begin…
He lived about 12th century b.C., the era of the well-
known Trojan War, which was conducted because of
Troy’s Prince Paris-Alexandros’ stealing the very
beautiful queen Helen of Sparta, compelling all individual
and autonomous city-states of Hellas to unite and gather
troops in order to bring back beautiful Helen and the
dignity of her husband Menelaos, whose brother
Agamemnon was the king of Mycenae and general chief
of all the Hellenic troops against Troy.

The parents of Achilles were Pileas, a mortal, and
Thetis, an immortal, an ordinary phenomenon for Greeks
(Hellenes) who used to live literally with their Gods.
And little time later….

Thetis was so glad and happy but also worried …
So, after many other attempts which almost would lead
baby Achilles to death, she….
She almost had achieved her goal… But, remember, the
heel was still vulnerable…

Later on, when Achilles grew enough…
Centaurs used to live on mount Pilion and were weird
creatures, half horse-half man.

When Achilles grew more…
And some day…
couriers came to Phthia, telling the bad news and calling
Achilles to join the rest of the Hellenes to war Troy in
order to bring back the Queen Helen and punish
ungrateful prince of Troy Paris-Alexandros.
He accepted the invitation, of course…

Really, Achilles took part in the war with his warriors,
the bold Mirmidones, and he was the bravest of all the
Hellenes. Trojans were very afraid of him and his
bravery.
But, some day, after a victorious battle out of the walls
of Troy Achilles captured a woman, Vrisiida.
Agamemnon managed to take what he wanted, but
Achilles got into his tent and stopped fighting. Trojans
began to take advantage of his absence and to defeat

Hellenes. The losses were dramatically large. But,
Achilles was firm as well as Agamemnon.
But, his beloved friend Patroklos couldn’t bear it…
He went into Achilles’ tent and begged him to fight, but
nothing done. Then, he thought something like a trick!
He would fight wearing Achilles’ panoply and weapons!
That would be the same. Trojans would be terrified and
be defeated!
And that’s what was done!!! Trojans were very terrified,
seeing again “Achilles” to fight. From this miserable
position Hector, the successor of the throne of Troy and
brother of Paris-Alexandros, was the one to take action
to fight with “Achilles”. Hector was also a very brave
warrior…
So…

When the dead body of Patroklos was carried into the

….and he swore to fight with Hector and kill him!

So, after the funeral of Patroklos…..Achilles was ready
again, full of hatred and fury, to do what he swore to…
The fight was very furious between the two men. These
two were the bravest warriors of their armies
respectively…
But, at the end, the result was predetermined on behalf
of Achilles, who, let’s not forget, was almost
invulnerable and immortal in a way…

And after that….
All the Trojan people, Hector’s father and king of Troy
Priamos and his wife Andromachi with their baby son in
her arms were watching this inhuman spectacle, all of
them full of terror and grief for their brave prince
Hector and his inglorious death.

The war continued more savage and fierce. No army
could win.
Then, Apollon, the God of Light and Music and helper
of the Trojans, revealed the secret of Achilles to Paris-
Alexandros, who sought to find a chance to kill Achilles…
And some day he did it…

The funeral of Achilles took place in the camp …
… and they continued to fight till the conquest of Troy,
which in the end was conquered thanks to Ulysses’
Trojan Horse and was completely destroyed…

witty man with a good sense of humor. His
stories have been told almost everywhere in the
world, spread among the tribes of Turkic World
and into Persian, Arabian, African and along the
Silk Road to China and India cultures, later also
to Europe. Of course, all these stories currently
attributed to the Hoca for about 700 years
haven't originated from him. Most of them are
the product of collective Humor of not only
Turks but also other folks in the World.
Nasreddin Hodja, or Hoca which means teacher

or like "J" in "John" in English), is known as with

SOME JOKES FROM NASRETTİN HODJA
“Help yourself my fur coat”
One day the Hodja was invited to a wedding. Having arrived in his shabby
clothing nobody seemed to take any notice of him. Well, this wouldn't do. He
bided his chance and slipped out unnoticed.
He returned, wearing his best robe and his fine fur coat. From the entrance on
he was overwhelmed with compliments, given the best seat at the table and
urged to partake of the choicest morsels. Smiling, he began to dip the sleeve of
his fur coat into the dishes, saying:
- Help yourself, my fur coat!
- What are you doing, Hodja Effendi? cried the host and some guests in alarm.
- Why, I was just inviting my fur coat to partake of these delicacies, since it
seems to command so much respect! A few minutes ago, without my fur coat, I
wasn't even noticed. Because of it, I am now being overwhelmed with
attentions!.
