Sofia and The Festival of St Cyril


Followers of any of the great religions will realise that Sofia is in the parade before the Feast Day Celebration of St Cyril (The Duck Saviour).

His unusual moniker comes from the miracle that he performed, when he re-animated a duck which had been killed, stuffed, roasted in an oven and served in shallot and grape sauce.
The duck then flew off, only to be caught and torn assunder by a passing osprey.

But the miracle stood, and Cyril was canonised and made the Patron Saint of Ducks and other aquatic Anatidae wildfowl.
