The names of the Catholic Marian holidays in “The St. St. Cyril and Methodius Calendar"

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this article are the names of holidays celebrated in honor of Holy Mary, included in the Catholic almanac "Calendar of St. St. Cyril and Methodius ", which appeared in Bulgaria in the period 1917-1952. Calendar was intended for both Western and Eastern (Uniate) Catholics.The authors try to find out to what extent the adopted naming influenced the Latin tradition, and to what extent they reflect the environment of the Orthodox model, in which Catholics were a small minority. Comparing the proper names of the Marian holidays with previous Christological holidays prove that the heortonyms of the Western rite shows a great dependence on the nomenclature already established in the Bulgarian Orthodox tradition, and the distinguishing element of the phrases calling the individual holidays is the way Holy Mary is described.
