Midwife Day or in Bulgarian Babin Den, is a purely Bulgarian holiday, celebrated on January 8, and honoring Bulgarian midwifes.

The name Babin Den comes from the Bulgarian word "baba", which means old woman or grandmother because in the past old women have been the village midwifes, helping the younger ones to give birth. (Den means day in Bulgarian.)
